Bio

Resonate Star – Rzn8Str is an experimental, global project with the mission of transporting music from the Universe to Planet Earth. When we are not creating songs, we keep busy challenging the notion that time is linear, that existence is finite, that ours is the only universe, that we live only once. We would love to tell you an unforgettable story through our songs, if you will come and dance on the edge with us!

Rzn8Str is a muse-led project, under the guidance of Danica Odyssey (vocalist, instrumentalist “receiver of the songs”) with stunning violin from RogueViolin , Nikki Franklyn on vocals/electric guitar, Dan Ince on drums. Aldo Spadaro will debut on electric guitar, with Ze-4, releasing in May!
The Rzn8Str songs are sewn together the captivating production skills of T.O.L.D., and our zany music videos come to life under the direction of Devin Wiemann at DevWorks Productions. (Rzn8Str Official Channel on YT.)
We aim to traverse boundaries of time, space, and life, transporting songs from different eras to your present one. You may set about to discover the labyrinth of metaphysical mysteries hidden in their lyrics, or just groove to the music on a melodic and nostalgic trip. We seek artistic and astral souls who would like to come aboard the StarShip! We’re creating a fan hub at rzn8str.space. And of course, we walk among you in real life – in the various places we have taken up temporary residency on this planet.

Lyrics

Farther Than Rain (Rzn8Str, 2023)
Joy has to live among the thorns
Has to hide like a gentleman
Because another time I’d feel of sense of you
I’d wonder how to get to you
Did you call, or am I dreaming?
Are you in the bed?
Your taste is there
I can’t wait to touch the space you just fell through
Give me just one reason can you
Why time should be so cruel if it’s nothing but numbers
Have you ever felt a story unfold in a painting?
Without day or night, quiet and unchanging?
I am here, but you can’t hear me
How can I tell you that I love you
Farther than rain
Farther than rain
Farther than rain
Farther than rain
Farther than rain
Farther than rain
Farther than rain
Farther than rain

Find a way to lay on the flowers
Without getting too dirty
Cross the road but look both ways
I’m dying to feel the angel glow of your gaze
Stand on the bitter edge, dear, and talk to me for days
Can you kiss the air and call it my name?
Any of my many names will do
Can I catch your tears in the tips of my fingers?
Can I place a ring on your finger?
Darling, can we dance?
I only need to know if there’s even a chance
And then joy can live among the thorns, bold and brash
And I can love you
Farther than rain
Farther than rain
Farther than rain
Farther than rain
Farther than rain
Farther than rain
Farther than rain
Farther than rain
Farther than rain
Farther than rain
Farther than rain
Farther than rain
Farther than rain
Farther than rain
Farther than rain
Farther than rain
