My own songs
“MY UNIVERSE” album
Having named the first album “MY UNIVERSE”, I wanted to emphasize the significance of each song that it contains. There I tell the story of my life, open the most hidden corners of my soul and share joy and sorrow.
The songs included in the album were written at certain stages of my life, which I captured in music. When feelings overwhelmed and the right words are not enough, a melody comes to the rescue. Writing a catchy song with deep meaning and a beautiful motive is not an easy task. That is why it took me 7 whole years to gain the necessary experience which I am now sharing with you. My songs are united by love to life, faith in goodness and a bright future. In each of them, even the most minor one, I leave room for hope of a happy continuation. I want to believe that my music will resonate in many hearts because it is taken from the depths of my own. The main motive of the entire album is a call to live in the present, to enjoy every moment and not to look back. It is important to correctly set priorities and values and not focus on the bad – life is too short to spend it on this.

PAIN OF LOVING YOU (English verison)
Music: Artyom Kashkin
Lyrics: Alesya Vlasenko, Artyom Kashkin
I VERSE:
Time froze the rhythm, silence prevailing
Driving us crazy yet.
Seems I just met you, now you are leaving –
Hard for me to forget.
Don’t fade away when tears are useless,
We can revive the past.
CHORUS:
Pain of loving you
Stop hurting my tormented heart.
Let us save that time we knew
I promise, we won’t fall apart.
Know that I’ll be here
Forever all I need is you.
Stay with me and leave your fear,
My love will be enough for two.
II VERSE:
Each word reminds me moments we shared
Present is hard on us.
Walking away like you never cared
Telling me that you must.
Eyes never lie and yours – they show me
That you want to hold on.
CHORUS:
-//-
BRIDGE:
Trust me we can make this love work again,
Feelings much stronger will always remain.

TOMORROW (lyrics)
Music and lyrics by Artyom Kashkin
I VERSE:
I’m torn with the question –
What remains after us?
Need to find a direction
That I’ve had already once.
There is pain inside my heart
That I let no one ever see.
There’s a storm within my head
That always will remain with me.
CHORUS:
Who knows what will come tomorrow?
This life is too short for sorrow.
Look up to the clouds above you –
There is always sunshine breaking through.
A new day will come tomorrow
Your aim is what you should follow.
As long as you feel the heartbeat
There’s nothing to fear, go for it!
II VERSE:
You never surrender
When the world falls apart.
And always remember –
You should listen to your heart.
Our life runs fast and fleetly
There is not much time to wait.
Make your dreams come true completely
Leave the shadows you create.
CHORUS:
-//-
BRIDGE:
Every day, every night
I have to get up and fight
Despite all the fright.
It’s up to me to achieve,
The only rule – is I need to believe.
CHORUS (with modulation):
No matter what comes tomorrow
There’s no reason to feel sorrow.

Whatever will come tomorrow…

STAY WITH ME (lyrics)
Music and lyrics by Artyom Kashkin
I VERSE:
I see the same dream every night,
It’s stuck inside my head –
You come out of the glowing light,
I pray it never ends.
When every time I see your face,
I’m only asking why
I cannot find in real life
Your beauty and your smile.
CHORUS:
Stay with me forever,
I’ll never let you down.
Hand in hand together
Let’s keep the sacred vow.
Every day and always
I’m here by your side.
Love will last, I promise,
Until the end of time.
II VERSE:
No matter where, no matter how
I’m gonna find you soon.
I’ll turn the whole world upside down
And even check the Moon.
I’d give you both my love and soul,
We’d meet the rising sun.
Two loving hearts in river’s flow
We’ll be combined in one.
CHORUS:

TIME (lyrics)
Music and lyrics by Artyom Kashkin
I VERSE:
I thought it was a game
In which we live forever.
And every time I play
I’m reaching the next level.
But then I realized
This life is only one.
You don’t have many tries
Before the game is done.
CHORUS:
Why do we have to die?
Why do we need to leave?
Life quickly passes by –
Truth that we can’t perceive.
What if there’s no escape?
What is behind the line?
Everything that we make
Dissolves in eternal time.
II VERSE:
Another day has gone.
How many are still there?
Beyond the edge of dawn
I’m hiding my despair.
If I could buy some time,
If I could change the past
I would have been with you
Each day as our last.

IN MY MEMORY (lyrics)
Music and lyrics by Artyom Kashkin
I VERSE:
Reaching for the sun,
Burning flame grows high.
All we’ve had is gone –
It’s on fire.
Emptiness inside
Rips my soul apart.
Shadows of the night
Play with broken heart.
CHORUS:
There’s nowhere to run,
There’s no place to hide.
What else can be done
If our hope has died?
No reason to breath,
No willing to live.
God, show me the way.
I need to see her again.
II VERSE:
Moments that we’ve had
Rushing through my mind.
So much left unsaid,
So much left behind.
Words you’ll never hear,
Tears you’ll never see.
It’s in the past forever,
In my memory.

LIFE IS ONE (lyrics)
Music and lyrics by Artyom Kashkin
I VERSE:
You work all night, you work all day
It looks like never ending circle.
You take a step – you have to pay.
They made you think that it is normal.
Pull off the blinders you’ve been worn and meet all wonders.
There’s so much more this life can give.
CHORUS:
Tell the world your story,
Fight for glory,
Leave all doubts behind.
Every day keep dreaming
And believing
In a better time.
Do not chase fake treasures.
Bright and precious,
They ain’t worth a dime.
Tell the world your story,
Fight for glory.
Life is one.
II VERSE:
You may be thinking it is great
When your life spins around money.
But what’s the point in this grace
If being rich, the soul stays crummy?
You’ll never find a golden mine, but don’t feel sorry.
Your pure heart remains with you.
CHORUS:
-//-
BRIDGE:
Don’t be a hostage to your money,
Gutted like a hunted bunny.
You weren’t born to be a slave,
The time for change must start today!

БОЛЬ ЛЮБВИ МОЕЙ (Russian verison)
Music and lyrics: Artyom Kashkin
I VERSE:
Время застыло в тихом молчаньи,
Сводит меня с ума.
Ещё недавно были в начале,
А теперь у конца.
Не торопись, постой прощаться,
Помни, ты мне нужна.

Боль любви моей
Пускай уйдёт из сердца прочь.
Сохраним мотив в душе,
Что согревал нас день и ночь.
Знай, я буду здесь,
Моя любовь всегда с тобой.
Слышу голос твой вдали,
Он сквозь года летит со мной.
II VERSE:
Каждое слово напоминанье –
Прошлого не вернуть.
Неосторожный шаг к расставанью,
И завершится путь.
Не отпускай в сомненьях руку,
Чувства не обмануть.
