ABOUT BEACON:
Beacon is the opening song of Shireen latest released CD ELYTRA.
The story behind it is a motivating one, about inner journey towards healing. The beacon is lit and light shines on the landscape that is our inner world. through this illumination we find knowledge that helps us out of the darkness, and into a lighter state of mind. The light shines on our dark places, showing us that what is in this darkness is not as scary as it seemed. It is all part of us, and we are part of it. Beacon is a message to every person that we can overcome our darkest night.

ABOUT ELYTRA:
The word Elytra refers to the shields protecting the delicate flying wings of a beetle. To us naming our release thusly, it symbolises the protected creative space of the band that allows musical evolution and facilitate “flight” in SHIREENS ongoing musical journey, exploring new musical landscapes. On top of that it refers to the anatomy of a song; the colourful beautiful outer shell that i the music, sound, artwork, that covers and sometimes reveals the delicate veined structure of emotions and deeper meaning within.

LYRICS:
Light the beacon of serenity
in the dark night I’ll take note of it
free the mind of hopes and dreams
breathe in, shine in the moment
the inner world is dark and deep
it is frightening but i’m part of it
lose your fears in calm and peace
and notice it’s all worth it

message sent to every man
dawn replaced by dusk and dread
step out of the shadow
you can make it all disappear
Just learn to let go
the pain is just a thing of the past

Walk the streets barefoot and free
in the darkness i'll take note of it
free your heart and let it be
breathe in, shine in the moment
be the light we all can see
it is blinding and you're part of it
lose your fears and feel relief
and notice it's all worth it
