Though he is not bound, nor does he aim to work under any specific genre, he has worked-out his own authentic homebrew of electro-pop, rock, and folk, as he shares with others, songs that aim to put them in the right mood for the message, relieve the shenanigans of stress, and inspire them to have a positive outlook towards themselves and towards their surroundings. A messenger who communicates through music; he gets a sense of fulfillment when listeners allow themselves to interpret his message in their own way. And what is his message? He offers, not only world music that can be enjoyed, but an attached genuine message of love. With his work, he aims to increase the communication with his audience through music, and share with them his vision of the world.

This is his mission, this is his music, and this is the man, Buddhuza.

Born and raised in the musical-nest of Zugdidi, Georgia; Buddhuza, with only two broken guitars, a tape recorder, and a single bedroom, formed his very first band with his brother at the age of 13. The songs were merely written and performed as entertainment for neighbors and friends; however, these experiences would serve a more important unseen purpose for him - these moments provided him with hands on experience in song-writing, arranging, and performing. Previously, at the age of 6, he and his brother attended Georgian-folk choir classes which allowed him to witness, first hand, the importance of spontaneity in music. To him, music has been a soundtrack through every phase of his existence; however, once he searched in his father's vinyl collection and heard the progressive-rock of the late '60s, it gave him shivers and sent blood to veins that he didn't even know that he had! It was then, at that moment, that he realized what he was going to write and play music for life.

His forthcoming album, Zer0, is an elaborate meeting point of end and start, as reincarnate as a musician, offering fresh looks at our uncanny environment in coming releases. A collection of 14 songs recorded by Buddhuza himself through 2008-2010, these tracks, previously, were scattered among his projects, New Demos and NowHere. The title, spelled with the number '0' instead of the letter 'o', reflects the idea of "point zero" - how every moment is an ultimate here and now, and a fresh start to our present. He states himself, "this is a project with many doors." The songs vary in sound but are all attached with a single thread that connects them like a bead; he calls this an "incurable joy," as he enjoys the process one hundred percent.

His music is a result of positive emotion-filled charges released to his listeners. This particular attribute, or niche, is reserved for those seeking melodious alternative-music with an emphasis on lyrics. And after receiving an honorable mention in the prestigious International Songwriting Competition, he has his eyes set on a much greater prize - your ears. Simply put, Buddhuza is the real deal.

Cross Where You Like
Buddhuza Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whatever you see,
They build the rhymes,
Whatever you hear,
They constantly chime.
It's so sad that we're all busy learning to climb,
Well I'm not really catching the initial design.
Wherever you go,
Draw your own line,

And cross where you like.
Oh, it's a long way to go,
Yeah, it's a long way to go.

Whatever you see,
They build the rhymes,
Whatever you hear,
They constantly chime.
Whatever you are after, baby,
You're only getting what you paid for
And it's wrapped in Time.

Coming on in you've gotta leave your reason,
Coming on in you've gotta leave your reason,

Coming on in you've gotta leave your reason,
Coming on in you've gotta kill your reason.

Overall Meaning

In "Cross Where You Like," Buddhuza expresses a sense of disillusionment with society's preoccupation with fame, material success, and the constant noise of distractions. Whatever we see and hear in the world around us is carefully constructed, and we are taught to constantly strive for more, to climb the ladder of success. But Buddhuza feels disconnected from this pursuit and wonders if we really understand the grander plan or original purpose of it all. He encourages listeners to forge their own paths, to draw their own lines and cross wherever they choose. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the idea that the journey is a long one and won't necessarily be easy.

Line by Line Meaning

Whatever you see,
No matter what you witness or perceive,

They build the rhymes,
Others construct patterns and expectations for you,

Whatever you hear,
Each message that reaches your ears,

They constantly chime.
Is a recurring sound, often pressuring you to conform.

It's so sad that we're all busy learning to climb,
It's disheartening that we are all focused on climbing the societal ladder,

Well I'm not really catching the initial design.
Because I can't fully comprehend the original plan.

Wherever you go,
Wherever life takes you,

Draw your own line,
Create your path and purpose,

And cross where you like.
And cross it wherever and whenever you choose.

Oh, it's a long way to go,
The journey is long and full of challenges,

Yeah, it's a long way to go.
Yes, the distance traveled will be great before reaching the destination.

Whatever you are after, baby,
No matter what you crave and desire,

You're only getting what you paid for
You will only obtain what you work for,

And it's wrapped in Time.
And this reward is limited and dependent on the fleeting nature of time.

Coming on in you've gotta leave your reason,
As you move forward, you must abandon your logical thinking,

Coming on in you've gotta leave your reason,
And continue to do so repeatedly,

Coming on in you've gotta leave your reason,
Until it becomes a habit to forego rational thought,

Coming on in you've gotta kill your reason.
And ultimately, you must destroy it entirely.

I made it late to the show thanks to a late night at work. Looking forward to seeing how this episode turns out. Getting my ritual ramen ready!

Arguably, if you Dark Souls it hard enough levels ultimately don’t matter. But yes, being in the approximate level range is generally a good idea.

Perhaps the fact she didn’t flee implies she’s not that put off by his flirting...

mm t back where that priwen command center you took out for the girl who thinks she's a vampire there's another and better stake that you can upgrade a lot more.

also a hint for clay by the entrance of one of the tents. also you really should talk to Swansea and ashbury more. there's an exclamation mark on the map not sure if you've noticed it but it notifies you when there's new dialoge available with some people mostly Swansea.
