Songs of Love, Death, and Transcendence Vol. 1 Front Cover

Lyric

Hikari (English ver.)

Ananda Jacobs

Two flames as one

In light entwined become

A blaze into the sky

And for all that disappears

We return to love again

We fall into the light

Into an endless sky

If we can fall, and fall shining brightly

We will be as one

And ignite once again

Feel the light that comes to you again

Let it burn through your veins

You’ll open a door to forever

If you look beyond the sky

Into the stars that shine

And to the edge of time

The light unites us forever

And will always be here

Shining bright inside us

Maboroshi

Kanata he yuku

Maboroshi

Kiete yuku

(Call out)

(Let the sky fall down)

(And the sky falls down)

An echo rings out clear

For all the world to hear

Illusions are only born to die

So embrace the end

This was meant to be

So breathe the light inside

And feel electric skies

Hold on for all eternity

Be all that you are

You’ll see through it

Feel the fire

That burns forever

    Love Returns

    Ananda Jacobs

Based on her own spiritual experiences, "Songs of Love, Death, and Transcendence Vol. 1" encompasses themes based on deep inner realms, love, and soul connections. The album is Ananda's self-produced work in which she composed the music, wrote the lyrics, and assembled the tracks for all songs. Deep electronica, synth pop, industrial and dream pop-infused rhythm tracks resonate with pastoral soundscapes of strings and theremin, all embraced by a downpour of sublime vocals reminiscent of Enya and Sarah Brightman. The lyrics, interspersed with metaphors on eternal love and one's inner self, point to the soul in a state of revelation, gently enveloping and inviting listeners on a meditative spiritual journey. Feeling deep love, feeling the light within, feeling the connection of souls, feeling the Earth as if gazing down from the universe, all boundaries disappear and one is released. Comfortable waves carry the listener throughout the entirety of the album.

Additionally she has released the singles "Massacre" (2010), "Mirror" (2020), and "Hikari" (English ver.)/(Japanese ver.) (2021). As an actress she has appeared in the NHK television series "Yae no Sakura" and "Massan," the Otona Keikaku stage production "Welcome Nippon," and the movie "Akai Kutsu no Onnanoko" ("The Girl with the Red Shoes"), and as a narrator has voiced commercials for Sony, Shiseido, and Uniqlo.
