‘A Tale Of Fate’ -

 


"A Tale of Fate" explores whether love is coincidental or connected to something greater than ourselves. This song is inspired by a particular Greek myth that tells the story of Zeus separating soul mates because he was afraid of their combined power. As a result, these two halves spend their lives searching for their other half. The song features dreamy, ethereal vocals and groovy instrumentation as the narrator explores the eternal question: Is love "A Tale of Fate"?


‘Dead Man Walking’ -



Written and Directed by Kay Iris, 'Dead Man Walking' is a cinematic, story-driven song that follows the last days of a remorseful outlaw running from justice. The style of the song was inspired by Quentin Tarantino's soundtracks as well as the old Spaghetti Western scores by Sergio Leone.
