Here are some more pics form the making of music video animation for the song It’s meant to be. The story takes place in a magic wonder world/forest,  where nothing is what it seems to be and there is plenty of opportunities which can or can not be seen.

I’ve almost frozen up I couldn’t breath enough

I’ve seen the beautiful gold

I almost wanted to steal I couldn’t believe it was real

And I knew it was meant for you

But what is left for me

When will I get the reward

Why isn’t it for me

Why isn’t it meant to be

Surfing waves of liquid love

Dropping in from above

The sun is setting in the sea

I’m feeling you in front of me

Taking off the biggest sets

Riding life without regrets

The moment equals virgin gold

We are never getting old

I’m a product of my past

I think I’m going to last

I’m following my soul

I’m doing what I must

But I m not under you control

Surfing waves of liquid love

Dropping in from above

The sun is setting in the sea

I’m feeling you in front of me

Taking off the biggest sets

Riding life without regrets

The moment equals virgin gold

We are never getting old

Telling

They tell me to move on

I will follow my Corazon

They tell me to let go

I know where my soul flows

She’s one of the best things in my life

And she turns me on whenever I think about her

Sucking me sucking my energy

The biggest task I now embrace

Preparing all my life

To love see it dissolve into lines

There are worlds between in one space

I want to tell you how I feel

I want to tell you what I dream

I want to tell you that I don’t sleep

I want you to be happy

I want to tell you what I know

I want to tell you how I show

That I want you to

Go forward with love

Women dream to learn what loving is

It s my destiny to teach

There can be no jealousy

Every flower wants a bee

All attachments are in vain

I want to tell you how I feel

I want to tell you what I dream

I want to tell you that I don’t sleep

I want you to be happy

I want to tell you what I know

I want to tell you how I show

That I want you too

Go forward with love

If You Were Me

I am streets and sand a thousand men

I am the poison and the seed the sound and a necessity

I am a little bit of jealousy and self-respect

I m temples and air Maple

No body no body else

Can make me understand

That I cannot pretend

If you were me

You wouldn’t ask me how it feels

To climb those falling stairs

Spinning on those wheels

If you were me

You’d be loosing your mind

Loving everything you’ve lost

As much as what you find

I am a little bit of disregard I’m someone to discover

I am a deep wild river I want to be your lover

I am not your enemy I’m not your friend

I am so imperfect I’m not a superman

I am an interesting book I’m lost in the neighborhood

Of illiterate thirsty people

I m everything else a heavens message

Nobody nobody else

Can make it clear to me

That I am amazing

If you were me

You wouldn’t ask me how it feels

To climb those falling stairs

Spinning on those wheels

If you were me you d ne loosing your mind

Loving everything you’ve lost

As much as what you find

Morning session

The soil is waiting for the seeds to fall

The sky is ready to cry on us all

You’re mine

My cool mind most of the time you are mine

My cold mind most of the time you are mine

I m looking for her and she’s already living

A thousand miles away

Wondering what and whom she’ll be giving

And she has me in her mind

And she knew in her heart she was going to be fine

What you are looking for you’re going to find

What you re looking for is looking for you

What you re looking for is

What you re looking for

Is looking for you

My cool mind most of the time you are mine

My cool mind most of the time you are mine

I woke up this morning

With the fog still over my mind

Question the sun today will it shine

Or will I pretend this day has never really begun

My cool mind most of the time you are mine

My cool mind most of the time you are mine

I m looking for her and she’s already living

A thousand miles away

Wondering what and whom she’ll be giving

And she has me in her mind

Fucking OK

You always wear the same perfect face

Emotions are so hard to trace

But you just seem ok

So fucking ok

I tease you with stupid words

I squeeze you with my both hands

I touch you I want to take

So much you

But you are like the perfect one

I’m wondering how you look

When you come

When you come

I tease you with stupid words

I squeeze you with my both hands

I touch you I want to take

So much you

But I am also fucking ok

So damn ok

Made A Promise

Just answer the question

Without acting higher

Your head will explode cause you’ re so consumed by

What people may think

And what is your label

Your body’s not perfect just like mine

But still don’t be still

Waiting for the tide to come don’t be still

Stand up if your sitting

Come out if you re hiding

Don’t trust words they have no meaning

They can’t explain what you are feeling

Grasp for your chances

You innocent creatures

Willing to learn to walk on thin ice

And never break it

Like dodging bullets you know when to leave

But you’ll learn when you are ready to take it

Speak up if you re whispering

Move on if you re standing still

I don’t buy into this system

I care for you and the universe

Universe

Let people know you re shining from inside

Do you want your dreams to come true or not

You are a pearl and you found yourself

It’s meant to be

My star I’ll find you

Fingers crossed I’ll meet you down

That part where you can’t fly

I’ll lead you we’ll make it through

We’re the kings of consequence but we won’t reign over this world

We’re the queens of all our roots and we gave birth to all the Gods by

Talking with the hearth

Living with our hands

Rising with the sun

Like you and me it’s meant to be

Glowing with the stars

Loving our souls

Learning from a child

It’s meant to be it s going to be

The sound of satellites I’d love one

I hope to hear them fly

Tide is coming up

Fingers crossed the waves are getting higher

We’re the kings of consequence but we won’t reign over this world

We’re the queens of all our roots and we gave birth to all the Gods by

Talking with the hearth

Living with our hands

Rising with the sun

Like you and me it’s meant to be

It s meant to be it’s going to be

Glowing with the stars

Loving our souls

Learning from a child

It’s meant to be it’s going to be

It s so hard to make a change but keep on

To je Maj

Kaj skrivaš tam pod obleko

Ko se sukaš nežno ob meni

Kje tavajo tvoje misli

In pogledi ki niso narjeni

Kaj skrivaš tam pod kožo

Daj mi nasmeh in mavrico

Vodi me po tem svetu bom mižal

Se prepustil tvojemu cvetu bom mižal

Ostal bom nedolžen me boš odpeljala

mi svoje nežne izvire boš izdala

Se odprla v dežju mojih sanj

V tišini vprašanj

V sneg izklesan srebrn tulipan

Izgubljeni metulj ki ga iščem zamanj

Da bi mi pomahal če smisel imam

Izgubljeni metulj, ki ga iščem zamanj

Da bi mi pokazal če smisel imam

To je maj in to je tvoj položaj

To je maj in to je pravi raj

Tu in zdaj, čeprav nevem zakaj

To je maj

To je maj

Glorious design

Desert knows your name

It’s whispered on the wind

Lizard drags her tail

Calling for the rain

Oh would you come around

To wet this ground

My eyes are drying

But I long to feel them crying again

Ice is melting down

It’s sure that you will drown

Water s everywhere

And I need to rest my head

Oh would you raise this ground (take us higher) just one last time

For one last look at the glorious design

This city is standing proud

Love is inside out

The word is on the street

There’s water around their feet

But you are a beggar with a crown

And isn’t it profound

You’re on your knees and praying

To raise this ground just one last time

For one last look at the glorious design

Sail away

It s hard to find to be someone

To look behind someone’s eyes

To understand what’s done sun sea sun

To let you close to mine

Sail away sail away

Sail away

I am someone and I can’t decline

That I m still trying to find

That someone not yours not mine

And I need to dig deep inside

Sail away sail away

Sail away

Album reviews:

“Maple’s album ‘Made A Promise’ sounds like brit-rock sun tanning on Britain’s surf
beaches.  Coloured musical trip where the vocal is liable to constant
experimentation.  A digitalized futuristic touch can be perceived and that’s what
makes you pay attention while dancing on the ceiling.” Playboy.si
“’Made A Promise’ is an album with a great sense of melody, which shows in sound
track and a recognizable, charismatic vocal. Maple is a huge talent, who proves
that depth and melody are compatible. ” Rock on net, Slovene music website
