ARK

A SONG

by Tünde Jakab

Ark (Mix, Pre-Master)

the story

Attending the ARC conference with my husband at Maxlrain Castle this past summer left such a lasting impression on me that I felt a strong need to immortalize this inspiration in the best way I know how, in a song. The message of the song is one of hope for a better future, of striving upward and onward. The power that gives life and turns ashes into beauty is a force that is difficult to comprehend.

 

„You are (an) enigma.“

 

The idea of "turning the ship around" anchored the image of Noah's Ark deep in my mind. I couldn't get rid of the idea of "silent sirens in the distance" representing the voices just before "midnight" telling all who will listen that "the flood" is near. The harmonic change to a major chord at the end of the chorus represents hope and brings in "the sunlight" as the confession is made that "I am willing to believe in" and "I want you to take me to the ark. 

 

The second verse symbolizes my desire to go higher and know more. The number seven represents fullness and completion and the proverbial high one experiences once fully satisfied. 

 

I hope you enjoy this song as much as I enjoyed writing and recording it. This song has become so special to me personally that I have decided to make it the title track of my upcoming 2nd album entitled ENIGMA. 

With love,

Lyrics

This world doesn´t give you much

Everybody´s fighting

They would leave me for the dogs

I can give you that in writing

You have found me in a wreck

Pulled me out of the rubble

Loved me all through the struggle

I don't think I'll ever understand

You are an enigma

 

Silent sirens in the distance 

The clock is ticking midnight

Everybody´s sleeping

Everybody´s silent

The rain has started falling

(There´s) rumours of a flood

I´m willing to believe in 

Take me to the ark

​I´m willing to believe in

Take me to the ark

​I´m willing to believe in

 

I´ve been watching you get high

And I want what you´re having

Seven days and seven nights

Your loving is like drugs on fire

I would leave this place behind

If you teach me how to fly

Teach me how to win

To win them over like you do

 

Silent sirens in the distance 

The clock is ticking midnight

Everybody´s sleeping

Everybody´s silent

The rain has started falling

(There´s) rumours of a flood

I´m willing to believe in 

Take me to the ark

​I´m willing to believe in

Take me to the ark

​I´m willing to believe in
