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
Aaah! When was the last time I made an entry here, I don’t even remember. But in fact this silence was for a good reason. Lots of things happened in this period. The biggest obviously being moving countries. Yes, I left Istanbul about a year ago and moved on to Barcelona. Obviously it’s a really “heavy” time of my life. Not just physically but also emotionally…
Musically speaking, moving also worked positively in my case. In fact I had a plan to release an album (which I still have) but there is this little twist in plans. I have initiated a youtube channel. I was planning this one as well. No surprises :). It’s name is “Good Times”… Here’s the link so maybe you want to come and watch some videos (and some new songs) of mine and who knows, maybe even subscribe :). So as a bonus I will be sharing my lastest song, Wish You Were Gone.
Come and join to Good Times… it’s really fun out there…
