Performer(s)
One of my earlier releases, I did the production on this one myself, aiming to capture a late-70s pop sound. The corresponding music video (by DevWorks Productions) echoes these 70s autumn vibes, through footage that could almost be mistaken for vintage. The song was subsequently mastered by Kenny Carkeet (Awolnation’s “Sail.”) and has found its way to a few devoted listeners on Spotify.
Description
A wedding song, of sorts.
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
The Promise (Rzn8Str, 10-22-22)
Hand in hand we stand
Facing down hallowed ground
Heart to heart, all effigy
Skin prickled in the wind
Thoughts on fire
Happiness is being in this fall from grace
A dark that woke, to songs that cried
Going out to the waters in high tide
And happiness is learning how the sun lights your hair
How your voice falls on stone
The waiting, the waiting, like pins in bone
Long shadows stretched like a psychedelic string
Connecting this moment to everything
Word by word our promise lands
Facing truth
Impermanence
Willing to scale the rising tides or wade low rivers
Complacent, motionless, incandescent
Autumn shivers
And happiness is learning how the sun lights your hair
How your voice falls on stone
The waiting, the waiting, like pins in bone
Long shadows stretched like a psychedelic string
Connecting this moment to everything
To everything
Hand in hand we stand
Facing down hallowed ground
Heart to heart, all effigy
Skin prickled in the wind
Thoughts on fire
Happiness is being in this fall from grace
A dark that woke, to songs that cried
Going out to the waters in high tide
And happiness is learning how the sun lights your hair
How your voice falls on stone
The waiting, the waiting, like pins in bone
Long shadows stretched like a psychedelic string
Connecting this moment to everything
Word by word our promise lands
Facing truth
Impermanence
Willing to scale the rising tides or wade low rivers
Complacent, motionless, incandescent
Autumn shivers
And happiness is learning how the sun lights your hair
How your voice falls on stone
The waiting, the waiting, like pins in bone
Long shadows stretched like a psychedelic string
Connecting this moment to everything
To everything
