This song is to describe that utter darkness you feel after a recent break-up and nothing in your life or routine seems normal anymore, something's missing.

You just want to hold or talk to that person. You miss them so much. The lyrics cite- it's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all-and although that might be true, it still makes getting over someone really hard. Available as a vocal version and an instrumental version. [Tempo: Slow / 70 BPM]

This poetic piano love ballad screams out with emotion. A strong violin and piano duet, with drums and light but driving guitar. Much like a fable or fairy tale, the lyrics are extremely cinematic and movie-like, telling the story of a man chasing a girl through the course of time, never giving up on her, dealing with her baggage and tackling any and every obstacle in his way. Convinced that he and the girl are meant to be. Set in a medieval era, there are metaphors and references to castles, ships, cannons, wars, the ocean, jumping plank, and rummaging around in dungeons. The classic tale of Prince Charming trying to rescue the Princess (Katie), but in this fairy tale, the Princess keeps turning a cold shoulder to The Prince's romantic attempts. The track retains a cool, calm, insightful, epic, beautiful and powerful feel and works its way into a full band rock ballad. It will work exceptionally GREAT with any scene about a girl named Katie. But replace the name "Katie" with any girl and this is the perfect soundtrack to any relationship or love scene. Especially one about the chase, the pursuit of love. Melodic piano and soaring violins somewhere between pop and indie rock. Available as a vocal version and an instrumental version. [Tempo: Slow / 146 BPM]
This epic 9-minute long closing track has an exponentially-rising energy level throughout, starting with a very low energy level. Just ocean waves and ambient noises. Slowly strings, ambient feedback, and reverse effects come in. Soon after acoustic guitar and heartfelt vocals come in. It progresses into the most epic full band rock ballad you've ever heard. It will work well with footage that is reflective, calm, tranquil, nature, ocean, waves, night, sleep, sailing, wings, dream, leaving home, hypnotic, sad, depressing, lonely, bittersweet, homesick or driving. Indie/ progressive rock along the lines of "Transatlanticism" by Death Cab for Cutie". The lyrics are sung from a father's point of view. He is signing about his son leaving home, and how he should never feel alone, and that he will always be with him, inside his heart. However, the lyrics can also be interpreted in other ways, i.e. a lover telling his mate to not worry and that he/she will always be with them. For example, an army soldier telling his wife not to worry before he leaves for war. Available as a vocal version and an instrumental version. [Tempo: Slow / 138 BPM]
