They wander on through nights and through the days,
The fool with swelling pride, the old man worn,
Who sometimes begs for sleep, yet in the haze
May hold the one reply to what was asked since dawn.
What is it then, that makes the ancient world grow pale?
Where do they go — the tears, the happiness, the ache?
You two, hold tight, don’t loosen, You can’t fail —
The world spins now for you alone — then breaks away,
And only patina remains then in its wake.
The 7 Lives Poem Series
Another hour.
Another trace.
English version:
Just wait, and time will heal the wounds you fear,
Carbon copies, empty words, you drift and fall,
Yet You can feel the hours, bright and clear,
And one thing you will never find: A life that’s small.

Musical DNA of But Live It — Radiohead
Radiohead showed me how far you can stretch a song without breaking it. How silence, tension, and fragility can be as powerful as any chord.
And there’s this sweet darkness in their music, a place where things can be raw, aggressive, unsettling, and then suddenly tender and harmonic again.
That contrast, that emotional chiaroscuro, has always stayed with me.

After letting go of everything that didn’t belong, something quiet remained.
When I stepped back and looked at what was left, it felt complete and right.
Something I didn’t see when I first started working on it, a truth that was mirrored in every song.
This is the part that stayed.

7Lives
A series of poems about the layers of a life,
the visible world, the hidden one,
the echoes, the dust, the light that stays,
and the things we lose on the way.
A quiet archive of moments,
written over years,
now leaving the underground.
Over the next weeks, I’ll share a few of these poems here.
Later this year, they may become a small physical book —
because analogue still rules.
More soon

Some songs didn’t make it into the album, not through analysis, but through a quiet sense that they didn’t belong.
One lacked drive, one lacked depth, and one felt more like a sketch than a full thought.
They were part of my year, but not part of the album’s inner truth.
Letting them go felt natural, like a tape that runs out mid‑phrase.

Musical DNA of But Live It — Supertramp
Supertramp taught me that pop can be complex without losing its lightness. Their harmonies, their storytelling, their sense of melancholy wrapped in brightness, that balance has always inspired me. Some of that spirit found its way into my arrangements.
Do you have a favorite Supertramp album or era?
