Music: Avalkis – The Lynx at My Home (2016)

Here’s my newest song – an electric guitar ballad: “The Lynx at My Home” (2016).

This song is dedicated to my cat and all the cats I have loved in my life.

The track will be in the upcoming album Tree of Love – and Other Ballads from the Darkened Sun. Featuring f.ex. acoustic/electric guitar and piano ballads, celt and medieval inspired songs.

• [download or play the mp3, if the player above doesn’t show up] (8:00)

PS. Points and glory to the person who gathers what the beginning and end of the song “means” (the ambient sound waves from 0:00-0:36 and 7:43–8:00)… Hint: listen to the lyrics… You can write a comment on your thoughts. (I’ll reveal my intentions later.)

Answer:  The ambient soundscape in the beginning and in the end refers to the 2nd verse about sinking to the bottom of the sea… That’s how I imagine it to sound like. It also represents the inner world of cat – that we can only dream about of ever understanding (no more than ourselves)…

Of course the whole song itself also tells about life, women and broken relationships.

EDIT February 25th, 2017: Song version updated – some tuning issues were fixed.
