A poem inspired by Louie, my furry friend, turned into a fun and happy song by Kuu Sound. Magic!Noemi :))
I find your pretty eyes Illuminate my nights Melting in your looks You make my heart go woof My furry friend you are Inspiring my whole life At times when I feel blue You make my soul shine through Wagging your tail in excitement Barking at the top of your lungs Oh my rascal friend With you all days are fun Curious as a cat The best guard dog there is My love for you runs deep You make me feel complete
ABOUT
Kai, known as Kuu Sound, is a singer-songwriter and Music Producer, from Oregon, currently in Transylvania.
‘Save me, Sálvame’ is a song for which the lyrics were written by Rob Burkhard and Noemi Capote. Surprising each other, every time again, with new lines in English or Spanish, the song took its own course and grew into a track about the loss of loved ones. A song, also, that would definitely need two voices.
Maje, a talented singer from Venezuela, became involved in the recording of this song. Sound engineer, Pablo Peña, mixed the recordings together and made this song into a duet.
‘Save me, Sálvame’ brings together collaborators from 3 continents. Have a listen, and if you like it, please know that you can really support us by finding the song on Spotify, YouTube, or any of the other streaming platforms, and adding it to your playlists or favorites.
Another wound has been opened Another cross for the world to bear
Another time is frozen And it seems that they just don’t care
How many times can the world sustain Devastation and pain?
Now bombs are dropping How can they do this again and again?
Are we insane? Can’t we refrain?
This wheel keeps Growing and growing Going and going Hurting anything that gets in its way
It seems that Empathy’s stolen Something’s been holding it hostage and hidden away
Another merciless soldier Another child screaming in despair
Another country is broken Flames and fear roaming in the air
How many times can the world sustain Devastation and pain?
But we’ll just keep on hoping That some peace will come again
Are we insane? Can’t we refrain?
This wheel keeps Growing and growing going and going Hurting anything that gets in its way
It seems that Empathy’s stolen Something’s been holding It hostage and hidden away
Empathy is a song inspired by the war that broke out in Ukraine. Fast forward to 2023, and we are yet witnessing another war. When would it end? Kuu Sound and Noemi Capote highlighted some painful realities that are too hard to ignore. This song is our plea for peace, and we hope it fills everyone’s heart with hope. We are grateful to: Sams Lofi, Composition – Derek Weaver, Guitar.
The land spirits talk to me
They tell me stories of a time before I came to be
Of how life was before the dark clouds came
Before our magick was stolen and stripped away
I sit with the land spirits
Deep inside the misty woods
They share their secrets and mysteries too
And they teach me how to see the real truth
They open my heart
and I can see it filled with stars
I open my eyes
And they show me a map to where it all began
They give me a key
to a door that leads to the infinite sea
The land spirits help unleash the powers That have always been inside of me
Lovely land spirits
They guide my every day
They protect and they love, filling my soul with hopes
With the mind of the owl and the strength of the hawk
“Listen” is comprised of the songs Bass Ronin and I have cumulatively worked on together. I think from the first song we made, I was captivated by his unique, soothing, and beautiful production style. The lyrics started to flow naturally for me and we were able to make one song after another, each with its own unique energy.
What ended up being the message behind most of the lyrics in these songs circulates around the deep desire to take a closer look at the world – to listen to people’s stories. To listen to the reality of the struggles of other human beings, and to listen to yourself.
“Poison in my Veins” talks about being out of touch with yourself and feeling the need to reconnect with what you really need in your soul. “Grounding my Soul,” written by Noemi Capote, reminds us how to re-center and heal ourselves again. Kuu Sound
ABOUT
Kai, known as Kuu Sound, is a singer-songwriter and Music Producer, from Oregon, currently in Transylvania.
I made this collaboration with Kuu Sound after we connected on Instagram and became fans of each other’s music. She wrote and recorded her vocals over the instrumental I produced after sending her a short clip of the chorus. It’s a reflective song about breaking from attachments and making internal changes. It tells the story of a lone astronaut drifting off into space after a catastrophic event. – Typho
Chorus (Kuu Sound)
Do you know where you're going
Even if you don't gotta make it up
And the holes are showing
Everything around you is breaking up
Verse 1 (Kuu Sound)
Am I falling
Am I flying
Something's calling out deep inside me now
What do I believe
Am I really free
Will I come out the other side
I seem to have lost every trace of my sight
Maybe it's okay I've got no place to go
Come and float with me into the unknown
Chorus (Typho)
Do you know where you're going
Even if you don't gotta make it up
And the holes are showing
Everything around you is breaking up
Verse 2 (Typho)
Not a clue
Held down by gravity like glue
The whole fabric of reality got swallowed up when the black hole grew
Trapped in loop
Heavy metal weight strapped to the boots
Even if I elevate and get up all the colour getting dimmer gotta hold a bigger vision when I'm searching for what's true
Moving away from the place that I knew
All the walls have fallen through
Floating above the maze with a panoramic view
Change up change up change up energy inside of you
The brightest star up in the sky is blue
Ignite a fuse supernova brought a sonic boom
Wires loose fire burning where the comet flew
Illuminate the other side of the moon
When all the planets fall turn these molecules to something new
Head above the clouds like Zeus
Interstellar on a mission when I get away to cultivate a better way of living
and I'm running from the weather gotta navigate and follow where the solar wind it blew
Scattering the particles of matter reassemble every atom all are hollow at the centre
while caught up in a battle with the inner armegeddon was developing the shape that I morphed into
Bridge (Typho)
88 days
From the sun
Empty space
Oblivion
Chorus (Kuu Sound)
Do you know where you're going
Even if you don't gotta make it up
And the holes are showing
Everything around you is breaking up
This track conveys the balance we aim to achieve as creators and artists- the dance we do with external responsibilities and happenings, while the yearning inside pervades, calling us to pursue our passions.
Caught up in the nine to five
Still seeking the sustainable dream
Entwining the two…
A spider’s web of deceit
For time ever moving
A vortex in the abyss
of one's soul
Alas, mere perception
Pauses in the creative flow
Like a lasso to the moon
The kraken's tentacle pulls
Gravity beckons
And for just a moment
I’ve lost the muse
Yet, the artist within
still resides
Dancing the wanton path
Waltzing high
In homage to reverie
A symphony at play
Time ever present
Hear the Koto sing
Hidden hues still sought
Amid the barren plain
Splashes of color
Upon a blank canvas
of dreams
You can’t show me where to go
I’ve gotta start moving natural on my own
These faces, voices shadow me
Whispers repeat responsibilities
It’s not me
But I guess it’s gotta be
Til I can breathe
Flow into infinity
Pressure’s on me
Passion’s calling my soul
Just show me where to go, cause I don’t know
No I don’t know
I’ve been searching for some ways
To come into the life I wanna create
These faces, voice calling for me
Try to give it all but I never learned to receive
Pressure’s on me (I wanna breathe)
Passion’s calling my soul
Just show me where to go, cause I don’t know
No I don’t know
ABOUT
Kai, known as Kuu Sound, is a singer-songwriter and Music Producer, from Oregon, currently in Transylvania.
This collaboration started as an idea to tap into our animal instincts through our movements. This dance and poem are our sweet declaration that we are one with nature, setting free the animal within.
Within me flows the river of life
I am the feathers on the Eagle
I am the breath of the Lion
The heart of the Crow
In me, the Snake finds refuge
Under my arms, the Finch is free
Look into my cat-looking eyes
You will see your soul unveiled
In the depths of my mind
You will find the wisdom of the Owl
My voice is the Tiger’s roar
Can you hear it?
Can you sense it all?
Can you feel the animal within?
Setting free
The Animal Within
As the river flowing into the sea- alive in wonder
I breathe
Water coursing through my veins
I am the healer, the dancer, the wolf- howling amid midnight rain.
For there beneath a pale silver moon
Illuminated upon gossamer wings
The butterfly hums a silent tune
Her dragon spirit yet to reign
She embraces it all…
The Animal spirit within

Where? Who?
How? What? When?
I need clarity
I need to feel sane
A Butterfly passes by
Reminding there's beauty in this life
To seek it first inside
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Whisper it
Whisper it
When? Who?
How? What? Where?
I need stability
I need to feel safe
A Fox stares in my eyes
Whispering to have more faith in the inside
To feel me whispering
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Whisper it
Whisper it
What? Where?
Who? How? When?
I'm tired of carrying all this pain
The Raven comforts me
I find magic under her wings
She feels me waking from this dream
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Whisper it
Whisper it
The Jaguar explains
Go with ease
With our emotional connection
From our common ancestry
He looks at me through the glass
Wanting to be free
I can feel what you see
Deep inside of me
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Whisper it
Whisper it
Whisper it
Whisper it again my friends
ABOUT THE COLLAB Music Collab
When writing this song, I felt that we are often seeking answers outside of ourselves. I even created a portal to connect with an animal spirit based on my book, My Fauna Within, to receive a message to guide us in our lives. But ultimately, we are the ones that hold the answers. We surely can get validation from outside sources, but our hearts know best. Whisper It is a reflection of the animal spirit world, assuring us that as long as we are honest with ourselves, we can find clarity in the answers that are already ours to know.
Dean Clark did an exemplary job with this song. His voice is outstanding and the emotions he carries with each tune can’t help but make one feel uplifted. Collaborating with Dean was Godsend, as we both felt an immediate connection through the love of animal spirits. Dean is such a talented musician and highly cares for the well-being of every person, challenging healing vibrations through his musical gifts. Noemi :))

Yellow
Is the color of your soul
Diving deep within my core
Holding all the notes that make me feel in love
Yellow
Is the smile that makes me spark
Undeniably so grand
Holding me so tight with tender arms
Yellow
Is the perfect symphony
Indescribably makes me feel sublime
Wrapped inside the perfect time
ABOUT THE COLLAB Music Collab
As part of my voyage into self-discovery, I create a weekly Meditation from single-feeling word contributions, given to me by strangers on Instagram. I find the process so enlightening, reaching the depths of parts of me that remain hidden until discovered through this process of self-inquiry.
Recently, the phrase “Nostalgic Yellow” was created and I was struck by the feelings coming through from this expression.
Around the same time, Noemi @noemi.creativesouls asked if we might like to produce something together and of course, I said absolutely!
I asked Noemi what she thought of the idea of “Nostalgic Yellow”! The phrase was created through one of my Meditations.
Noemi shared this amazing song idea with me and some truly beautiful lyrics.
When I first heard what Noemi had written, I was immediately struck by the timeless emotion of these ideas…
Like the way love is felt even long after people have gone from our lives…
And so there was a feeling of being somewhere in-between the immediacy of joy and the remembrance of it…
This became the filter through which Noemi’s original idea was fed as I built up the instrumentation to expand on this idea.
We asked Kai @kuusound if she’d like to record Noemi’s original vocals…
All I can say really is that with every soul that touched this project, it became elevated in ways I don’t think any of us individually could have anticipated.
Florida > United Kingdom > Transylvania … there are quite a few miles between us all and yet I feel like we have been so connected by the writing of this song!
Even more special perhaps is the understanding of how this song speaks differently to each of us and yet forms a common understanding.
It reminds me of life!James
