This song was born from a profound moment of loss. It carries with it a message of love, connection, and reassurance. Despite the pain, the song serves as a reminder that our loved ones are never truly gone—they live on in us, in the spaces they once filled, in the memories and moments that linger. After my father’s passing, the song came to me as a message from him to those left behind. This this is not the end, we are all connected, and the essence of those who have transcended are always with us. It’s a healing anthem—a reminder that the love and bond we share never truly fades, even in physical absence. I hope it brings you comfort at a time when you might need it. more

The Seven Letters to the Sea: Darnia’s Wartime Reflections on Ukraine’s Black Sea Coast In the shadow of war, the human spirit often finds solace in the most unexpected places. For Darnia, a Ukrainian soldier stationed along the Black Sea coast, the sea becomes her confidant, a silent witness to her fears, hopes, and unspoken sorrows. Through seven poignant letters written to the sea, Darnia’s story unfolds,a narrative of resilience, longing, and the unbreakable bond between sisters amidst the chaos of conflict. The Setting: A Soldier’s Life by the Black Sea Darnia’s world is one of contrasts. The serene beauty of the Black Sea, with its endless horizon and rhythmic waves, stands in stark contrast to the turmoil of war that surrounds her. As a soldier, her days are marked by vigilance and duty, but her nights belong to the sea. It is here, on the shores of her homeland, that she pens her letters,each a testament to the emotional toll of war and the enduring strength of the human spirit. --- Vocals: Azra Azizov & Büşra Azizov & KTGTIM & Ufuk Çelik Keys: Busra Azizov & The Sugar Diggy DunX & Ufuk Çelik Guitars: Ufuk Çelik Drums and Kits and Percussions: KTGTIM Production: UFCEBABA --- LYRICS: - Dear Sea, I will come back to you. Not with a rifle, but with my sister’s hands. We will sit on the shore, and you will tell her all the things I could not say in these letters. Please oh my blacksea Please Please keep my words safe in your depths... Please keep my dusty body safe in your depths with your other daughters Please...more

This song is the root chapter of the "The Moth (The Diary of the Fake Simurgh) series I wrote a long time ago. It consists of eight main sections and is a promotional song for a new YouTube series. I think I will start live broadcasts in August, at least with my dear friend Harun Barış Tahtacı, if not as a group. We played this for his promotion; I hope you enjoy our song. --- LYRICS in Turkish (original language of the song if you want to know more follow us ... :D :D :D) --- "Aslım pervane ama Simurg'um ben Üç kere şahit oldum dünyanın yıkılışına Kıyametlere, zamanların yok oluşuna Hakimleri olmayan mahkemelerde tanık oldum Yaşım yok..." --- "Dayanabilecek misin?
