As I'm still diving into the fallout stories of Grenfell, this afternoon my coworker called my cell phone and she asked if we could talk, so we met at a Timmy near her place. She was a very emotional person and I happened to comfort her a lot at work. But this time it felt like something had happened. I saw her eyes were red and dried from tears. We talked for hours. Her parents lived in Grenfell Tower for 5 years, and her mother killed in the fire.

I just wanted to write something to pay respect to the 100 lives that were murdered in the inferno. Murdered by the system. Killed for being poor. After my coworker left, I could not feel my hands for a while, my body was numb.

I wanted to write something...

if life gives death meaning rather death giving life meaning , then we fail . for this reason , the fact you choose not only to sing history through your electronic box but also choose to live history , gives me peace . ,^,-,^,

What can I say... An art, whatever kind of art it is, is a mirror of not only an artist's soul, but i mirror of a society, the way it is felt by the artist. And it's always sad to see this kind of reflections. I'm kind of familiar how corrupted system works and how much lives it takes each year, each day, so I'm not that sensitive for this already and that's sad too. You do great and important work by not only attracting attention to the tragedy but also by reminding that we should not get used to this, by waking up our emotions. My biggest respect and all the possible stars to you.

Thank you for your words of truth. Thank you again for your reviews.

This is the most beautiful track that i ever heard... Woah... A really nice piece of art and a proof that art can talk for the heart. You have my deepest respect.

zybor responds:

Thank you for your review bro. :D

This song perfectly represents horror of the tragedy and infinite sorrow.
Art is definitely the best way to express your emotions and your music is overwhelming with them. I guess it's safe to say that you play not instruments but feelings, truly rare gift. Thank you for the purposes you compose for and for masterpieces you compose.

zybor responds:

i haven't written orchestra in a while so it's quite choppy. had that weird TSFH Heart of Courage vibe. glad people like it.

Thank you very much for your thoughtful review! :)

Even with one recovering ear I can tell this is a good piece. Very emotional. I like the runs you have starting at 1:09. You are also very good with loops; I must have listened to this a dozen times without realizing it.
I'm glad you were there for your coworker. There are never enough good people in the world comforting those who need it.

zybor responds:

Thank you for your review.

I hope your ear will recover. take care and stay safe! :(
