My Best One Ever…?

Seagull is not tied to a single genre. However, I must say that my main inspiration comes from the British pop and rock scene I grew up with.

It also reflects the way I work: mood-driven, image-based, atmospheric. Music as scenery. Music as a space you step into rather than something that demands your attention. Some tracks lean ambient, others more melodic, some carry a sense of motion, others are almost suspended in the air.

What unites them is intention.

Seagull is an introspective album about love, loss, memory, identity, and the quiet tension between staying and letting go. Across its songs, the narrator drifts through emotional landscapes shaped by longing, nostalgia, fractured relationships, and self-reflection. Nature imagery—forests, oceans, skies, leaves, wind, and light—serves as a recurring mirror for inner states, transforming personal experiences into symbolic environments.

The album moves between romantic devotion (Seagull, Silver Dust), emotional decay (Dead Weight, Falling Leaves), existential detachment (Satellite, Kites), and fractured identity (Two Suns, The One True Love). There is a persistent awareness that nothing stays fixed: love fades, people change, time bends, and certainty dissolves. Yet even in loss and loneliness (Lonely), the music holds space for tenderness, humor, resilience, and quiet acceptance.

Rather than offering resolution, Seagull embraces ambiguity—honoring both the beauty and the pain of connection, memory, and impermanence.

The red thread running through Seagull is the struggle between attachment and release—between wanting to hold onto love, identity, and memory, and knowing that everything is transient.

Across the album:

  • Nature becomes a metaphor for emotion
    Forests rot beneath artificial green (The Emerald Forest), leaves fall (Falling Leaves), kites fly or crash (Kites), tides split reflections (Two Suns), and silver trees hold frozen memories (The Silver Trees). These landscapes externalize inner conflict.
  • Love is both refuge and wound
    In Seagull, Silver Dust, and Still You’re There, love feels pure, intimate, and timeless. In Dead Weight, Falling Leaves, and The One True Love, it becomes something heavy, damaging, or impossible to sustain.
  • Identity is unstable and divided
    Two Suns presents the self as split but coexisting, while Satellite and Kites explore emotional distance and the desire to drift free rather than remain tethered.
  • Time is fluid, not linear
    Past, present, and future blur in Still You’re There, Dead Weight, and The Silver Trees, suggesting that memory is not something we move past—but something we carry.
  • Nothing lasts—but that doesn’t make it meaningless
    It’s a Fad addresses impermanence directly, while the entire album quietly accepts that fleeting things—trends, love, youth, identity—can still be real, beautiful, and worth experiencing.

In essence, Seagull traces the emotional arc of someone learning to hold without gripping, remember without being trapped, and love without owning—standing between longing and letting go, and finding meaning in the space between.
