This is the first piece of our first album.
The beginning of Golden Sea carries a drum pattern that reminded me of a song by Native American artist Tony Redhouse, from his album The Womb and the track of the same name.

While listening, I once entered a deep meditative state to Tony Redhouse’s The Womb —
a space of self-love and complete immersion into the vastness of cosmic love that surrounds everything.
Golden Sea tells the story of a young man — a soul so radiant that even the sky seemed to mourn his passing.
It rained that day, as if the angels were crying for losing his spirit to the earthly plains.

I could feel his spirit quite vividly while composing — a man who carried the purest love imaginable in his heart and the spirit of freedom flowing through his veins.
He embodied the vastness of the land of the free, his blood alive with a tamed yet blossoming fire.

A man who would care for his wife and family,
a warrior for the good — with eyes full of warmth and a soul overflowing with gentle strength.
The strength of a black panther, graceful and fearless, untouched by the shadows of the world.

It was a beautiful day of composition — a small song, yet the emotions were intense.
A humbling experience that filled me with gratitude, simply to have felt it.

I could sense both — the man with the loving soul and the mother whose strength prepared the way for him.
Her courage and deepest love opened the gates of this world so that this powerful being could arrive in grace.

Together they became part of the song —
a meeting of soul and spirit, love and strength, sky and earth.
Their story lives in this music — quiet, vast, and eternal.

And my thought was that so many souls are born throughout the centuries, and even now,
each carrying that golden heart that holds goodness from the heavens and wisdom from many lives within them.
I feel that these souls work in the shadows of this world — quietly and patiently — to heal what seems lost,
to recognize what others cannot feel or see.
The golden sea of souls that enter this world.

To them I want to give my thanks —
for their wisdom, their love, and their help in keeping the light touchable and visible for searching souls.

Golden Sea is a song born from remembrance — of love that never fades,
of spirits returning, and of the hidden harmony between the worlds we see and the ones we feel.

Lyrics:

You were born in the fields
Not in the western style
Free as birds will never be
The soul of a thousand lives

Golden sea of souls
Golden sea of souls

In your mothers painful night
Thunder rolls down the height
Tears are crawling down the sky
The loss of an angels child

Golden sea of souls
Golden sea of souls

Long black hair in sunny lights
Wave in the land of the free
The blooming force of young fast blood
A man with the strength of his past

Golden sea of souls
Golden sea of souls
