Curate, connect, and discover
There's not much to describe about this track. I had created a chord progression and decided to make a house track out of it that is more mellow and laid back compared to other things I wrote. The title doesn't hold too much significance, I just decided to simply name it after one of my favorite actors who I sampled towards the end.

"Merlot" is a House track I made that sort of belongs in the same universe as "Boulevardier"; a track that pays homage to the original house/deep house movements in Chicago and New York in the 1980s. To put a modern twist on it, I decided to experiment a little bit by alternating between swing and straight eighth notes as well as trying out a 3/4 section as well.

VURGUN
⠀
Gözlerim uykuyla barıştı sanma!
Sen gittin gideli dargın sayılır.
Ben de bir zamanlar sevildim amma,
Seninki düpedüz vurgun sayılır!..
⠀
Yalan mı söyledin göz göre göre?
Ne zaman dolacak verdiğin süre?
Gönülden gördüğüm takvime göre,
Aldığım her nefes bir gün sayılır...
⠀
Armağan ettiğin kutsal mendile
Akarken içimi dağlayan çile,
Manavgat denilen çağlayan bile,
Benim gözyaşımdan durgun sayılır!..
⠀
Ne kadar zulmetsen ah etmem sana,
Her iki cihanda gül kana kana...
Seninle İstanbul ödüldür bana,
Sensiz Ankara bile sürgün sayılır!..
