Just a play
An eccentric blend of ambient post-rock replete with chilled mesmerizing vibes, Just A Play is the fruit of a five-year experimental music project in which the artist vehemently takes you through a dark journey of his life, bursting a jam-packed bubble of contrasting emotions. With its soliloquy poetry style and outlandish punchy grooves, this album introduces a new form of fusion and makes you play it on repeat.
This 6 track album speaks for itself once you listen to it and will introduce you to an unfamiliar genre which might sound eccentric and peculiar at first. However, the volume of emotions beautifully embedded in the lyrics will make you feel more intimate with the artist's story in each track."
R-SHIE
Having discovered his knack for music by constantly tapping on desks and other objects in his childhood, R-SHIE started attending music theory courses after he was given an acoustic guitar as a gift. However, he learned music mainly by ear and gradually took a keen interest in experimental sounds and began developing his own combination of grooves and rhythms. However, it was his father's coming down with a terminal illness during his late 20s that got him into the practice of sound healing and inspired him to create a whole new style by integrating sacred tribal instruments, including singing crystal bowls, custom-made jaw harps and kalimbas with his guitar playing style.
Although emerging in the music industry as a fresh artist, he has come fully equipped to introduce a unique fusion style by combining tribal sounding instruments and deep house beats with mesmerizing post-rock guitar lines. Inspired by his life-long music coach Sadredin Taheri, R-SHIE's recent album "Just A Play" introduces an authentic electronic post-rock style that has never been done before and contains a wide range of moods that will relate to everyday life scenarios thanks to the deep and thoughtful concepts behind his lyrics narrating personal experiences.

Lyrics:
You’ll Be Gone
Words and Music by R-SHIE
I deeply sigh, You say goodbye
Lost in the light of dawn
And I know why
Soon you'll be gone
but I can't cry
I'm like a small child
Left in the dark wild
Who saw the monster
But then he just smiled
Yeah he just smiled
I deeply sigh, You say goodbye
Wish I could tag along
But I... can't fly
I fade as I sing this song
The tale of a lonely guy
I'm like a small child
Left in the dark wild
Who saw the monster
But then he just smiled
Yeah he just smiled
I deeply sigh, you say goodbye
Just a Play
Words and Music by R-SHIE
Close my eyes to see
The vision within me
Of a child full of life
On a small green bike
It's just a memory
Carved on a tree
I'm feeling lost inside
My lonely mind
Take it on the chin
Cause I can't give in
I'll be keeping my head up high in the sky
Will take the sound of the storm as a lullaby
I won't be leaving the ring without a try
Certain things in life you can't defy
Take a deep breath
Let your fears shy away
Embrace your soul
Life is just a play
Here and there
I stop to stare
Into space, in sheer despair
Wonder why I'm feeling grey
Hide your pain and there's a price to pay
Now and then
I count to ten
Fall asleep and dream again
Dream in which all the stars are gone
Crying clouds and a looming dawn
Creeping on
Wonder if I'm well
I can't tell
Wonder if I'm well
No I can't tell
I'll be keeping my head up high in the sky
Will take the sound of the storm as a lullaby
I won't be leaving the ring without a try
Certain things in life you can't defy
Take a deep breath
Let your fears shy away
Embrace your soul
Life is just a play
Into the Blue
Words and Music R-SHIE
Hello my friend hope you're doing well
Tried to keep up with your pace but I fell
It's been a while I haven't heard from you
Vanished like a ghost into the blue
Wherever you are I want you to know
Like a wind you will always blow
Passing through the alleys of my mind
Oh friend you are one of a kind
Oh my friend, oh my friend
Stand Before You
Words and Music by R-SHIE
I'm all by myself
In this memory
Where did I go wrong
Why has it taken so long
Here I stand before you
Wishing that this moment was not true
But gotta let you go
Even though it's not what I want
Gotta let you go
It's alright
And I'm letting you go
Shade of Love
Words and Music by R-SHIE
Why don't you just try to love me instead
The shade of love is red
Why don't you just try to love me instead
Cause the shade of love is red
Correct me if I'm wrong
But the shade of love is red
Maybe one day you'll know
Why don't you just try to love me instead
The shade of love is red
Why don't you just try to love me instead
Cause the shade of love is red
Tell me if I'm wrong
But the shade of love is red
Maybe one day you'll know
Outside the World
(Poem by Rumi, Odes 1519 from The Divan)
Come for today I'm outside the world
Come for today I'm hidden from myself
I'm outside the world
Hidden from myself
Come dress in rags for a moment and see the light
Then you will throw away the silk and wear rags with us
I'm outside the world
Hidden from myself
Come dress in rags for a moment and see the light
When your eyes open with us you will see
