Kuinka aika on Kulunut näin? Kuinka säteilevä Maailmani muuttui Ilman Toivoa Tulin taivailta Silti keskiyön aurinko otti minut vastaan En nähnyt kuin pimeyttä Ympärilläni Loistava aurinko odotti minua Tunsin tomua Jalkojein alla Kun vaelsin pitkin tuntemattomia maita Aion luoda kohtaloni Olla oma luojani Erittäin hento Auringonvalo Katoaa ja totuus paljastuu Menetin kaikki haaveeni pimennossa Translation: How has the time passed like this? Oh how my radiant world has changed Without hope, I descended from the skies Only to be greeted by the midnight sun I saw but darkness around me... The shining sun was waiting for me I felt dust beneath my feet As I wandered along these unfamiliar lands I will create my own destiny, Be my own creator Acutely fragile, the sunlight disappears and the truth is revealed - I lost all my dreams in the dark

Through the trees I feel the wind A gentle breeze A beckoning And through the leaves A summer’s dream The scattered light Komorebi Follow the sound of the birds in the woods Know that you’ll follow the path that you should Chasing the whispers of forests of old Through earthen wood and leaves of gold Take my hand and come with me And together we’ll be free We’ll be lost and that’s okay, because we are in a dream If you want to we can fly, looking down upon the sky And we’ll never have to leave this world again I recall A memory We’re on a boat And I can see Upon the lake Beyond the sea Reflections of A future me And right in that moment I wanted to fall Into the future the mirror had shown But the water was my now, even though I knew somehow That the time we have will lead us there someday Take my hand and come with me For together we are free We’ll be lost and that’s okay, because we are in a dream If you want to we can fall, we can find the ocean’s call And we’ll never have to leave this world again Don’t forget The melody That brought you here to me And if I should disappear Call the melody you hear Through your memory I’ll fly to you, though I will be a dream Nothing’s ever as it seems This is not how our story ends We will see it through until the end Remembering dreams that have past Only faded memories last

about

To the Clouds is my way of memorialising the best summer of my life so far, surrounded by the beautiful Finnish nature and embraced by wonderful people and a loving culture. With each day I spent there, I felt that was further enriched and it was a very precious time and experience that inspired me both emotionally and musically.

Last year, I had accidentally entered two competitions on the website 'Newgrounds'; The NGUAC 2018 (Newgrounds Underdog Audio Contest) and the NGADM 2018 (Newgrounds Audio Deathmatch) where I've placed third in 2013 and 2017. I managed to get into the final of both of these contests whilst I was in Finland and wrote and recorded both of my individual pieces, 'To The Clouds' and 'Yötön Yö' during my trip; both of these songs won me each competition and I feel it was the positivity and beauty surrounding me that gave me the strength to win the two biggest yearly musical competitions on Newgrounds.

I left feeling very blessed and returned over the Christmas period for the most special Christmas and New Year of my life.

I found a piano, found a harp, took my singing out of the shower, and picked up some other instruments along the way... and here we are. Welcome to my page and have a nice day!
