Heavy Air
A musical expression of my memory of prisoner camps during the war in Bosnia – the cruelty, the indifference, the humiliation…, but most of all faces of men stripped of their dignity – all because of their names.

Nocturnal Flower
There are flowers that only blossom at night, which makes their splendour go unnoticed and unappreciated. This piece is about hidden beauty that is so often overlooked. It is dedicated to my mother.

Too Cool for This World
For all the musicians who have touched and influenced me – too cool for this world!
Too Cool For This World
You Mesmerize Me So
To the love of my life.
You Mesmerize Me So
This Way Please
My best attempt at expressing feelings of mutual acceptance – a hymn, of a sort, to empathy and the joy of sharing time, purpose and faith.
This Way Please
Julia
Inspired by George Orwell’s classic 1984. The out-of-tune lamentful melody, contrast of harmony and chaos, beauty and deconstruction are meant to express the novel’s unique vision of dystopian future, and ultimate loss of humanity. But it doesn’t have to be that way…

Do You Mind?
Loneliness is tough, but sometimes there is nothing like it – it calms the nerves, comforts the heart and heals the wounds.
Do You Mind
Wrong Conclusion
Inspired by the film noir cinema and the detective stories, especially by Roman Polanski’s masterpiece China Town.
Wrong Conclusion
Dead End
It’s funny how we sometimes insist on things even though we know they’ll yield no results. I guess it’s hard to get off a dead end road.
Dead End
Follow Me
“And Jesus said to him: “Go sell everything you have and give it to the poor, and you will have treasures in heaven. Then come, follow me.” (Mark 10:21)
Follow Me
Scars
Tragedies of life leave all kinds of scars on a person, and while the physical ones are difficult, the scars left on one’s soul are just as permanent and haunting.
Scars
Waste My Blood
Jesus pleaded for forgiveness for those who were unjustly killing him. There has never been a greater expression of love, compassion, forgiveness and truth than the one that we find in him.
Waste My Blood
Beirut
I wrote this song thinking of all the oppressed humanity, victims of pointless conflicts, wars, cruelty and injustice. When will the wheel of pain stop turning? For how long shall the righteous weep and the wicked rejoice?
Beirut
