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

"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.
