Across The River

Across The River My new album “Arcadia” is a collections of songs that are built around the Greek legend of a mythical and unspoiled wilderness known as Arcadia where there is harmony and peace in abundance………

This is the first track “Across The River” which begins the journey to Arcadia - There is much turmoil and danger. The music is dark and foreboding the video set within a dangerous and raging river.

Across the river
You can see the trees bending to the winds
Across ocean
You cam look beyond to where the world ends

The journey to Arcadia takes us through the past present and future. A constant theme is the quest for love that exits only in this unspoiled land……where the lines between desire and reality become blurred [“From Love Is Here To Stay”]

Why I am I drawn to you
It makes no sense at all
you are miles away
but all I know is
This love is here to stay

At the end of the Album the traveler realizes and accepts that Arcadia can never exit as place we can physically be- but instead is a destination that we are constantly searching for. From the last song “Journey” [Already on Fandalism with Kathy Short]

All we are hoping for
All we are reaching for
and all we are waiting for
is there is there……………

The complete piece is available at iTunes Apple Music and Spotify - so If you are already signed up for these services just search Martin Valins then Arcadia.

I hope you enjoy. - Martin Valins
