Story
Music, lyrics, vocals, piano, bass, flute: Victoria Lye
Drums: Jannik Schubert
“My Path” is the first song I’ve ever written in my life. I was at home with my third child as a baby. For the first time I gave myself a permission to take this freedom and to try to write something on my own.
With this song I also made my very first video on YouTube. It was not even a video, but just a series of photos of me in the nature. There I used an older recording of the song without drums, bass and flute.
The structure of the song is ABA. It means that it has no verse and chorus, but a middle part (B) which is different from the rest.
I asked my colleague Rhona, who is a native English speaker, to review the lyrics. She helped me to improve some phrases. I also changed the melody a little bit, after ill factor from The Beat Academy, from whom I learnt a lot about music and EP production online, gave me his feedback.

Lyrics
Singing birds and blossoming trees
The world of sounds and pictures is divine.
I’m walking in the spring, enchanted by the beam,
The light of the sun on my path,
The sounds of the nature and its breath.
Moments of our life are so damn precious,
Living them, enjoying them is gracious,
I forgive myself for wasting life on things that don’t deserve regard.
Loving me, admiring me
And listening to the song that my soul sings.
It tells me ‘bout my dream and makes my life flash and gleam
Steps of the lightened path shine,
The voice that I hear is divine.
