WATCH THE MUSIC VIDEO HERE BEFORE READING :). Thank you.
Grateful if you take a second to leave a comment on youtube if you can.Spring has unleashed and everywhere splatters of colours are painting the landscape. Flowers blooming, leaves unfolding. The bleak scenery from winter has transformed entirely.
Close your eyes and imagine yourself in a magical forest, with thousands of purple flowers blooming in a tapestry of colors beneath your feet. As you wander through this fairytale scenery, you hear the melodies that emanate from nature itself, The notes of the tin whistle are like the birds that rise in flight, the voices inviting and carrying you along on this journey through the senses. Hope you find it uplifting and feel the blooming energy of the season. Spring is here! You are blooming

Where there is light, there is growth
These flowers only bloom during April, such an ephemeral fleeting moment but also a reminder and lesson that where there is light, there is growth. And I know this is a recurrent message in my music, but I create it also as self-therapy and it's a message I need to insist on reminding myself
So I hope this little original tune fills your heart with hope, joy, and inspiration. And remember that even in the darkest moments, there is always a way forward, and that growth and renewal are always possible and Nature's constant flow of seasons are constantly reminding us of those endless cycles.
The beauty of the forest in bloom is a reminder that we must seize every opportunity to experience joy and happiness, some are fleeting, we're constantly shifting.

Which is the species of flowers?
I'll edit this little snippet of the article if my fellow nature lovers can narrow it down. We call them generically wood hyacinths but I believe this particular species is Scilla bifolia. I'm posting a detail of the plant in case you want to help me to specify. I will edit with a correction if my guess is wrong.
If so the genus Scilla (or Scylla) shares name with a sea monster of Greek Mythology as Enchantres Circe, jealous of beautiful nymph Scylla, as the Sea God Glaucus was in love with her, transformed her into a creature with six heads. Because of this some day these flowers are associated with witches and even can be an ill omen to walk among them, honestly it's just superstition, there's greater symbol of renewal and growth as a forest blooming. I was FORTUNATE.
Find the 3 fufunchis
As always as it happens with every single one of my videos (you may know this if you know my work) there are 3 hidden rats in the video, they're like the Easter eggs to be found. I'm going to give away of one them. Tell me if you spot the other too
