Google’s Deep Dive Podcast: The Passionate Ebb and Flow of Her Whisper
Onyx & Sapphire is a modern day, adaptation, inspired by Ravel’s Bolero, building tension and passion throughout the album in a way that mirrors the rhythm and flow of an exhausting, tantric river of the sacred act of love itself. Fifteen themes, phases, organically share five musical fusions, across fifteen tracks, carefully crafting the arc of a dynamic tide with your mate, starting soft, building in intensity, tension and release, as the music mimics the ebb and flow of the deepest of all waters, reaching a tsunami, then easing back into gentle, intimate waves and lapsing into shared dreams as first sunlight shimmers across the lake’s surface and into your hold. Run-on sentence, you say? Yep…

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She walked in like a tender breeze at night
Her eyes held galaxies, soft and bright
A quiet power wrapped in golden hue
The world fell silent, except for her view
[Verse 2]
Her laugh, a ripple in an endless stream
Like waking gently from the sweetest dream
No need for thunder, no need to proclaim
She softly whispered, and it lit a flame
[Chorus]
Oh, her presence steals my guarded soul
A whispered glow that finally makes me whole
She’s the quiet storm, the gentle tide
Invisible threads pulling me inside
[Verse 3]
Soft as feathers, her touch untamed
A fleeting breeze that can’t be named
Her voice, a current, silent stream
It lingers faint within my dream
[Bridge]
It’s not in the words, it’s the way she stands
Like the universe rests softly in her hands
An ancient magic, a hymn unsung
Timeless and wild, yet still so young
[Verse 4]
Her footsteps hold the weight of peace
Her laughter bends, and time’s release
Her silent storms, they light my skies
A paradox in her disguise
[Chorus]
She moves like tides, a cosmic pull
Breathes life into the worn and dull
In every glance, she plants a seed
Of something more, of something free
[Verse 5]
The quiet turned to music deep in me
She carved my heart like waves carve the sea
With every moment, her essence would bloom
I didn’t know love until she filled the room
[Bridge]
A subtle quake beneath my skin
She seeps through cracks where walls had been
Her whispers carve, they echo deep
Awake in love, I’ve lost my sleep
[Verse 6]
Her touch, it lingers, undefined
An ancient map my heart can’t find
A whispered light, a secret tone
That turns the night to flesh and bone
[Chorus]
Oh, her presence steals my guarded soul
A whispered glow that finally makes me whole
She’s the quiet storm, the gentle tide
Invisible threads pulling me inside
[Outro]
She walks in shadows, soft and light
A quiet echo in the night
Her breath, a star against my skin
The storm begins where she has been
