Valerie & Mert - The Light Was Somewhere (Dream Pop/Downtempo/Folktronica/Fusion)

"The Light Was Somewhere" is the opening track from Valerie and Mert Akyürek’s collaborative album project, "Stellar Pilgrimage". Drawing from Dream Pop, Downtempo, Folktronica and Fusion, the track brings together electronic production and traditional melodic elements. The result sits somewhere between atmospheric pop and folk-derived electronica, with a strong emphasis on melody, texture and space. #folktronica #ethnicfusion #traditionalfusion Lyrics: [Verse 1] I left before the morning came with nothing but a coat and something I could not explain still burning in my throat The houses disappeared behind me one by one, then all at once I kept walking without knowing what I was walking from [Chorus] There was a light above me I thought it knew my name I followed it through empty miles through cold and fields of rain Maybe I was chasing heaven maybe heaven wasn't there I only know I kept on going because the light was somewhere [Verse 2] I slept beneath unfamiliar skies with stones beneath my head I woke up calling someone whose name I never said The moon would disappear for days then find me once again I started counting all the stars and lost count around ten [Chorus] There was a light above me I thought it knew my name I followed it through empty miles through cold and fields of rain Maybe I was chasing heaven maybe heaven wasn't there I only know I kept on going because the light was somewhere Vocals, Lyrics: Valerie Synthesizers, Yamaha PSS-570, Korg Poly-800: Mert Akyürek More Folktronica / Fusion / Electropop tracks:    • Folktronica / Fusion / Electropop / Downte...
