Creative Inspiration

Songs for the Bodhisattva section of Chapter 7 from the novel Seven Reincarnations. This song was composed based on the plot and atmosphere of the novel's chapters. Understanding the novel's content will help in grasping the imagery and emotions the song seeks to convey.

Even if dreams are not real, the pain felt within them is undeniably real. The only anticipation of the enlightened is that all those who are still unawakened in their dreams will come to realization as soon as possible.

Music Style

  • Modern Zen Style: Blending Eastern Zen aesthetics with modern musical elements, creating a pure, ethereal, elegant, and dreamy sound atmosphere.
  • Ethereal Female Vocal: The beautifully dreamy, angelic female voice perfectly expresses the sincere emotion of this piece.
  • Piano: The piano serves as the melodic lead.
  • Bamboo Flute and Guzheng: The interlude features the bamboo flute as the main instrument, evoking a sense of timeworn nostalgia and vast spatial atmosphere, while the guzheng complements it to create an exquisitely beautiful Eastern Zen-inspired ambiance.

Lyrics

[Verse]

through rugged paths of life and death, all beings
under the galaxy's vast dome, stars flicker
seeing through purity and impurity, a guest in dream, staying in Suchness
all beings one by one, just do it yet nothing to explain

ah, embarking on the journey, ah, so deep
empty as I am, yet meeting the Unborn
but I cannot cease this wandering
every moment a dream, every moment alive

[Verse]

with deep faith and thought, my mind is serene and tranquil 
the subtle celestial sound, responds within the mind
my mind has reflected its clarity
ah, how profound the mountain of Wisdom, how profound the path guiding all beings

yet through a lifetime, like the wind I roam
this rugged road, meeting the rain
ah, which path is the one I came by
ah, gains and losses, layers of dust in the air
