Honestly, music has been and is being quite a life saviour for me on these days trapped between four walls. I am sure my musician friends out there are busy playing their guitars, keyboards, singing etc. However my intrument is my tablet, along with some applications with which I make music. If you are also one of those who make music using digital instruments, I have good news for you.
Please enjoy the lyrics of MASAL (The Tale) and the English translation
MASAL (THE TALE)
Dağın ötesindeki gölü geçince (past the lake behind the mountain) Daha gün doğmadan iki saat önce (two hours before the sunrise) Belirir bir saray (a palace appears) Tam dolunay (There is the full moon) Soluğun kesilir (You run out of breath)
O sesi duyunca (when you hear that voice)
Nefesi ensendeyse hiç belli etme (Don’t show it even if you feel it’s breath) Kör elleri geziyorsa bedeninde (If you feel its blind hands over your body) Soğuyorsa hava (if it’s getting cold) Daha var sabaha (and there’s still more until the morning) Nefesini tut ve gözünü kapa (hold your breath and close your eyes)
Duyduğun onun nefesi değil aslında (it’s not its breath that you feel actually) Ne de korktuğun onun gölgesi (neither its shadow that you fear) Gerçek gibi olsa da kabuslarında (even though it’s like real in your nightmares) Sana aittir her biri (they all belong to you)
Karanlıktan beslenmiş, koskoca olmuşlar (they are fat by the darkness, and became giants) Bir köşeye gömdüğün o canavarlar (those monsters that you have buried down some corner) Yokmuş gibi davransan da hep ordalar (even if you act like they don’t exist, they are always there) Dokun onlara birden yok olacaklar (just touch them and they will disappear)
Yeni gün doğar da, (if the sun rises) saray oradaysa (and the palace is still there) Elinden bırak o korkuları (just leave those fears) ve koşa koşa (and go running to that the Palace) Git o saraya Sorma bana (don’t even ask me) Bu masalda kahraman sensin (you are the hero in this tale) Dağın ötesi de senin (Beyond that mountain is also yours) Masalda kahraman sensin (you are the hero in this tale) Dağın ötesi de senin (Beyond the mountain is also yours) Nefesini tut, (hold your breath) nefesini tut, (hold your breath) Nefesini nefesini tut (hold your breath, breath) Nefesini tut, (hold your breath) nefesini nefesini tut (hold your breath, breath) Nefesini tut, nefesini tut, (hold your breath, hold your breath) nefesini nefesini nefesini (your breath, breath, breath)
Duyduğun onun nefesi değil aslında Ne de korktuğun onun gölgesi Gerçek gibi olsa da kabuslarında Sana aittir her biri
Karanlıktan beslenmiş, koskoca olmuşlar Bir köşeye gömdüğün o canavarlar Yokmuş gibi davransan da hep ordalar Dokun onlara birden yok olacaklar
Dağın ötesindeki gölü geçince Daha gün doğmadan iki saat önce Belirir bir saray Tam dolunay Soluğun kesilir O sesi duyunca
Nefesi ensendeyse hiç belli etme Kör elleri geziyorsa bedeninde Soğuyorsa hava Daha var sabaha Nefesini tut ve gözünü kapa
Yeni gün doğar da, saray oradaysa Elinden bırak o korkuları ve koşa koşa Git o saraya Sorma bana Bu masalda kahraman sensin Dağın ötesi de senin Masalda kahraman sensin Dağın ötesi de senin Nefesini tut, nefesini tut, Nefesini nefesini tut Nefesini tut, nefesini nefesini tut Nefesini tut, nefesini tut, nefesini nefesini nefesini tut
In the beginnings of 2016 I moved to Barcelona. Naturally it took sometime for me to get used to a new city and country. After sometime, I decided to do something related to music again. First I started attending to a choir. We were even having concerts. But I think it’s totally a different experience to write your own song and lyrics. So I discovered that the choir thing was not satisfying me as I thought it would.
So I got my iPad in my hands. Luckily those times a referendum for the presidency system would be held in Turkey. And I decided to write a song to support “NO”… a little positive, a little uplifting (for that reason you hear a lot of NO’s (HAYIR) in the song.
Well, that was a good idea but just writing a song, singing, sharing it with your friends in Facebook… and then what? I decided to think a bit bigger. I asked my friend Idil, who was living in Barcelona then, “shall we make a duet?”
İdil had also helped me a lot with my residence things throughout the stages of my moving to Barcelona. Moreover she was a soloist in a band. She is such a fairy-like person that I knew deep inside that she wouldn’t say no, no matter how occupied she was with her thesis.
After a while we completed the recordings and started developing ideas for the video with other friends who were also living in Barcelona. But we had too little time so nothing came out of it. But MUCIZE (Miracle) remained in my archive until today. It’s one of my favorites in this album thanks to the voice of Idil.
Please enjoy the lyrics of APTAL INSAN (and the english translation without the repetitions). It’s the mother nature speaking to humanity, underlining how indifferent we are to her while it’s burning right before our eyes. Yet she is better off without our existence and she will recover anyway and the “life” will continue existing any way, with or without humanity. It’s up to us to decide and act.
APTAL INSAN

Just as the title suggests, my official artist channel on YouTube is live. Honestly I notice that I am a bit ignorant about this, as after I applied for an official artist channel on YouTube, the next day it came with my new and previous songs made as automated videos and they have been added in the channel already, without me doing actually nothing. They are certainly nothing official but the music itself, visually accompanied by the cover of the album. Certainly I am planning to make videos for my songs in the (near) future but still you can subscribe and turn on the notifications so as to be notified when I upload a new video. Just to make it clear, this is not the same channel that I have the Spanish videos (Good Times). This is only for my music, albums and singles. So please subscribe and turn the notifications on. There goes the link for my channel on YouTube:
