1) Deep Red Umbrella (song and videoclip discussed here)
2) Iceberg’s Music. A song inspired by nature connecting the iceberg with the free spirit as it is expressed in Deep Red Umbrella. An abstract song, it changes from 3/4 to 4/4 and back again.
3) Life Of My Own. Isolation and problems in the human relationships due to the human nature that always to asks. “But there is always a door locked, no golden rain surpasses it”. A sad song that describes the negativity that comes from vanity.
4) Call Me Strange (song and videoclip discussed here)
5) My Story. Another example of how amazingly can the mood of a song change, from slow and calm to fast and hard. A song inspired by what happens in the politics, especially the relations between the West and East world. It points out that people will pay the price for almost everything as we live in a badly ruled world and it is not easy to see any real change under the current circumstances.
6) Juicy July A song about the seasons, the change from summer too autumn…a dark feeling of beautiful things that belong to the past and a promise that happiness will come back again someday.
7) Flame This song is a story about a man who things he lives in a world full of monsters and dreadful creatures (the Monsterland). He is trying to find the way out of this sanity that enters him in an endless depression.
8 ) Drifting Back (song and videoclip discussed here)
9) Whispers In The Wind. The classical piece of the collection, inspired mainly by John Dowland and some late Romantic music idioms. It is included in the collection because this is the last essential piece that completes the diversity of the album and also it is popural among the public.
10) Old Turkishman. An abstract, funny song that gives a positive finale. “Old Turkishman give me coal to burn…” when I was walking around in Dublin, I got in a store to buy firewood and there was a Turkish salesman and we started talking….
