The Key of Promise (feat. NORA)

USAP

Morning glow on Montmartre sky

Painted windows shining bright

Layering my dreams

With foreign lights

Seasons we spent in that old town

Shadows of towers fall around

Memories sway, still today

Distant lights watch us now

I locked my heart with a key in the Seine

Swore to stay by you always then

But hearts drift far, apart we fall

On the bridge, our last farewell call

Whispers I feared, shadows inside

Words on your letter blurred as I cried

That night you came from a distant shore

I couldn’t forgive, young pain tore

I sank our key in the flowing Seine

Watching the bridge we broke remain

Silent words I once heard ring true

“Forgiving,” I never knew

Now I see what love can mean

Thoughts I failed to show, unseen

Like the painting we once drew

Colors stay inside me too

The Seine’s stream wraps me with grace

Washing away the pain I faced

The tower’s light shines in the sky

A new light fills my heart inside

Held by colors bright and warm

Canvas and dream now reborn

By the Seine, I walk ahead

To the future waiting red

    The Blank Planet (English Version)

    USAP

"Ripples of Memory" - A sonic journey across the quiet waters of memory.

This conceptual English ballad album is a collection of four intimately crafted tracks that explore themes of heartbreak, loss, loneliness, and the subtle process of healing that follows. Rather than dramatizing pain, the album gently reflects on what it means to carry the past within, and how to move forward through quiet introspection.

"Milk in Zero Gravity" opens the album with the weightless sorrow of memories that linger in everyday objects.
"Ripple" captures the emotional tremors of a rainy night, where every drop feels like a whisper from the past.
"The Key of Promise" revisits a Parisian love long gone, transforming regret into forward-looking acceptance.
"The Blank Planet" closes the journey in stillness - a forgotten world where time has stopped and silence reigns.

Each track features soft, atmospheric arrangements: ambient synths, delicate piano phrases, lo-fi textures, and breathy female vocals that convey vulnerability without excess. The sound is minimal yet rich in emotional resonance - perfect for reflective late-night listening.

At the heart of the album is a shared question: What comes after loss? Rather than offering solutions, the songs create a space where listeners can rest with their own feelings - just as ripples continue to move long after the stone has sunk. These are not songs about breaking down, but about quietly continuing on.

'Ripples of Memory' is a comforting companion for solitary nights and a gentle soundtrack for emotional breathing. Let its music be a soft light that touches the still waters of your own memory, and perhaps, makes them shimmer again.
