cosmin21gs I connect it with the kind of love story I'd want, built on common passions and made of small gestures that renew it every day. Favorite track: Extraordinary.

DEVIL THAT YOU KNOW (feat. Savannah Lack) Pin your courage to the wall Sure enough to feed the ways til your invention As the weary start to fall I could always feel the things you couldn’t mention Start believing, this is the answer You’ve been wondering Til you’re running around in circles trying to make it all make sense Rose coloured lens, see it again But the shadow of your reflection’s got you running scared In the end That’s the Devil that you know But he’ll never let you go Til you make it on your own Premonition of a world One by one moving a step to bridge the distance and the voices that you heard Gather up despite a beating heart’s resistance Now you’re looking at all the faces, Trying to make it all make sense Rose coloured lens, see it again But the shadow of your reflection’s hung you from the neck In the end That’s the Devil that you know But he’ll never let you go Til you make it on your own That’s the Devil that you know That’s the Devil that you know But he’ll never let you go Til you make it on your own That’s the Devil that you know

Tornado 03:38
TORNADO I feel it swarming, warm like your whisper, circling round my head Worlds speeding up as our feet hit the dust can't outrun what we can't forget Fear takes a grip on me Can't wait and see coz we got nowhere to hide, we got nowhere to hide Mortality will hit me right between the eyes Coz we're so out of control - you say you won't let me go But I can hear it on the air now, with the taste of my surrender and I can't seem to change my fate And I can feel it, like thunder, and with the full force pulling me under to take me away, to take me away Tornado Tornado  Tornado Tornado Tornado  Tornado Blood rushing silence, push me to shove as the certainty takes effect Face the horizon that's burning my eyes with all the pieces that we have left And my complacency - empower me coz it's too late for the fall, here at the end of it all I face the fear that fills me to show me my regret, and now as all things take hold you say you won't let me go But I can hear it, on the air now with the taste of my surrender and I can't seem to change my fate And I can feel it, like thunder, and with the full force, pulling me under to take me away, to take me away Tornado Tornado  Tornado Tornado Tornado  Tornado To crush the air from my lungs, To crush the air from my lungs To crush the air from my lungs. To crush the air from my lungs, To crush the air from my lungs To crush the air from my lungs.

HEARTBEAT LOUD (STEREO SOUND) You should know it, you know what, you got me So serious, you don't need now to hit the ground runnin' Slow up, you're not made for this heat I don't mind, maybe you decide we'll roll with it as it comes Unravel the mystery, so plain to me coz nothin ever skipped my beat like it does I'm done with this history repeat, just skip to my beat, you fit and then I hear your Heartbeat Loud Heart beating so Loud - like your stereo Heart beat - are you ready to breathe this deeper Heart beat - two pieces found, you make me a stereo sound Take a look closer, come up to my speed Predestiny creepin' now to tap on this shoulder With no cover from storms in my sea I begin with a calmer wind to carry this over and Fold up in the meant to be, surrender me I'll beat to your frequency like a drum All under the waves of this heat, you fit to my deepest parts, and when I hear your Heartbeat Loud Heart beating so Loud - like your stereo Heart beat - are you ready to breathe this deeper Heart beat - two pieces found, you make me a stereo sound

EXTRAORDINARY Took a ride and it’s rainin’ here again Slow motion fade to sunlight Lookin out as the pieces start to fit But I’m lost in the thoughts that keep me warm at night It’s that Extraordinary way about you I’m seeing straight but my eyes still openin’ All haze and the lazy poet, So unfade me to wrap me round again Taste test me to clean your palate well In that Extraordinary way about you It’s that Extraordinary way about you It’s that Extraordinary way about you Slow rain as you whisper to me Your name like a shiver ‘cross my skin I’m high on the bliss you threw me Washed in all the quivering descent Slow rain as you whisper to me Your name like a shiver cross my skin I’m high on the bliss you threw me In that Extraordinary way about you In that Extraordinary way about you In that Extraordinary way about you In that Extraordinary way about you They say you shook as the smile crept on your face All hell breakin’ loose in beauty Until the sea set the sunlight off again I’d feel the whole horizon through me With summer breeze and the lull before the breath My heartbeat skips and falls into The day I could tell you knew me In that Extraordinary way about you That Extraordinary way about you Slow rain as you whisper to me Your name like a shiver ‘cross my skin I’m high on the bliss you threw me Washed in all the quivering descent Smile back and I’m goin’ under Milk spills and I feel it pull me in Swept up like the rollin’ thunder And that Extraordinary way about you That Extraordinary way about you I took a ride and it’s rainin’ here again Slow fade to a sea of sunlight I’m Lookin out as the pieces start to fit I’m lost in the thoughts that keep me warm at night In that Extraordinary way about you I’m seeing straight but my eyes still openin’ All haze and the lazy poet, So unfade me to wrap me round again Taste test me to clean your palate well In that Extraordinary way about you Slow rain as you whisper to me Your name like a shiver ‘cross my skin I’m high on the bliss you threw me Washed in all the quivering descent Smile back and I’m goin’ under Milk spills and I feel it pull me in Swept up like the rollin’ thunder And that Extraordinary way about you It’s that Extraordinary way about you It’s that Extraordinary way about you About you, About you,

NIGHT IN MY DREAMS Night surrender, come be my friend, Spin the world around to meet the sun again You lie awake and stare up at the wall,  and you wonder why your body won't fall,  but lucid you'll find me - and I'm here ready for the flight Those bloodshot eyes from lying awake  all these sleepless nights that you can't explain Coz you stole me away to find a billion places,  All in my mind,  you spent the night in my dreams...  Heavy-lidded I let you in, Breathing all the states of you in shedding skin, For constellations ending our divide,  Or a supernova to bend space and time and I'm always ready for the ride Those bloodshot eyes from lying awake  all these sleepless nights that you can't explain Coz you stole me away to find a billion places,  Freeze me in time,  you spent the night in my dreams...  Though your eyes are heavy this won't be like anything you've known,  Those bloodshot eyes from lying awake  all these sleepless nights that you can't explain Coz you stole me away to find a billion places,  Freeze me in time,  you spent the night in my dreams...

ULTRA VIOLET LOVE We burn burn burn like roman candles, glow-oh oh oh oh-ing in the dark you light me up and i can barely handle, these thoughts of you my Ultra Violet Love For obvious displays of my affection Each mirror turns to you to call my bluff But how I come alive in your reflection I’m all for you my Ultra Violet Love and everybody wants a love, someone they can hold.. hold out for the human touch,never letting go and everybody wants a love, someone they can hold.. hold out for the human touch, never letting go this madness my incendiary companion, you spark it like a match and burn so bright and all the world is grey by your comparison and i'm alone, lost in endless night… and everybody wants a love, someone they can hold.. hold out for the human touch, never letting go and everybody wants a love, someone they can hold.. hold out for the human touch, never letting go My Ultra Violet Love, love, love My Ultra Violet Love, love, love and everybody wants a love, someone they can hold.. hold out for the human touch, never letting go

Pockets 04:04
POCKETS Don’t you wish you could have known, Guess it’s funny how it gets you sometimes Travel in the come and go, With the shadows whispering fast behind To feed you to your gods So you fill that empty cup you carry with all the things you should have known, but let it go You only reap what you sow, So love the way that you know And line your pockets with gold Pockets with gold Though loves a pleasure to hold Some things are better let go So line your pockets with gold Pockets with gold I can see how far it goes When you lose yourself you bleed into me So teach me how to breathe below In the dark you left your laugh behind To fall in furrowed sense When you’re all at peace and still like diamonds Gathering your magic slow So let it go You only reap what you sow, So love the way that you know And line your pockets with gold Pockets with gold For love’s a pleasure to hold So lose the critic in tow And line your pockets with gold Pockets with gold

Human Race 04:10
HUMAN RACE Running in the human race, I fear I can't run fast Running in the human race, I fear I might run last I can feel the humans, running past In the human race In the human race Running in the human race, I fall behind Running in the human race, I get brushed aside I can feel the humans, and all their pride In the human race In the human race Ahhhh ahhhh ahhhhhhh Running in the human race, for such a funny prize Running in the human race, Everybody dies I can feel the humans flying by, flying by, flying by In the human race In the human race In the human race In the human race

Raise Me 05:20
RAISE ME for Savannah I know what it's like to see his face cold dark nights & bitter taste Thought this time he'd push me past the edge felt that body pressed against my chest cold air breathing down my neck giving in to consequences  til you came to raise me from the dead til you came to raise me from the dead I Followed that familiar creature to Wallow in the waste of my regret But Time is such a cruel teacher Wish all i knew now i knew it then Waking to a dark surrender Well without the strength to lift my head For dreaming that i can't remember And you said No i won't let go no i don't mind & i'll be here waiting til you remember hope I won't let go we'll give it time & i'll be here waiting til you find your way home  i won't let go no i don't mind & i'll be here waiting til you find your way home I can feel you gaze upon me But I don't have the strength to lift my head Wish i could raise my eyes to meet yours But i don't have the strength to lift my head I can feel you warm as witness But I don't have the strength to lift my head you say i'm worth my weight in weakness You Love as if to raise me from the dead

about

Dear Listener…

It’s such an honour to have you on this musical journey with me.

Some of these songs are my most personal musical exploration to date. Maybe this is the most personal I will ever get - I’m not sure. But what I can say is, making these songs did something to me. It’s hard to explain but somehow they changed me. I guess in some way it was a lifelong goal of mine to create music in this way and more than any other thing I have done I feel like a different person after making it. I don’t really know what that’s about and I guess it’s not my job to question it. But needless to say I’m so grateful for you, for your love and support over the years, til I finally had enough of whatever that stuff is called - courage, gumption, creative insanity - to see this through.

The songs are all quite different in a way but I hope they pull you in. I hope they speak to you and take you somewhere.

If life has taught me anything to this point it really is this - Whatever your dream is - do it. Just decide and do it. It might not make sense to anyone but you - it might feel impossible but I promise you - once you commit, amazing things will rally to your aid. Lean into it. Start small and let it grow. Trust in the making. It will make sense in the end. And as my mum says… if it doesn't make sense… it’s not yet the end ;-)

Love and gratitude always

Fiora
