Arches 1 The Path To Love

Written, composed, and recorded in 1493 AL when Zina was 17 years old. It is the only song she released with her original singing partner, Sarena Clare, before Sarena's tragic death. This song resonates with the simplicity and idealism of youth yet speaks true to the feelings that come alive the first time we have a crush on another. Zina wrote the words to describe how she felt when she met a young man in Melian the year before while down from Larissa to visit Sarena.

 

Later on, she found out the man was Sarena's lifelong friend and beloved; at this, Zina was quite embarrassed and kept the incident to herself. Later on, Sarena found the lyrics and liked them so much that she put the words to music and arranged a duet for the two of them to sing. How ironic that they would share in singing about falling in love with the man who had captured both their hearts.

 

If you're wondering why the song is directed at falling in love with a woman, it's because this was Zina's way of hiding the fact that a song was about herself when she wanted. She also wanted the meaning of this song to be two-fold; she wanted to express both her feelings when she saw this man but also how she hoped he had felt when first seeing her - thus, the use of the feminine.

 

Regular text is sung by Zina; italicized text is sung by Sarena; bold text is sung by both.
