I’m releasing a 60-second preview of “The Love Of A Time Traveler,” Track 6 from Winter Rhapsody Volume 2: Echoes of Medina, offering an early listen ahead of the album’s full release on December 26.
Echoes of Medina is an all-instrumental album and my second release in this format, forming part of a six-album instrumental series that spans my entire music catalog. The record is deeply influenced by Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Moroccan musical traditions, creating an atmospheric landscape that allows emotion and narrative to exist without words.
“The Love Of A Time Traveler” is based on my poem of the same name—a story rooted in loss, faith, sacrifice, and unconditional love. It follows a narrator who endures a devastating tragedy, only to be granted an impossible second chance: the opportunity to return to the past and save the life of the person they love most. The cost of that miracle, however, is profound—love itself must be surrendered in order for life to continue.
Within the album, this track occupies one of the most emotionally weighty spaces. It reflects the idea that love is sometimes proven not through presence, but through absence; not through union, but through restraint. The music carries the quiet grief of remembering someone who no longer remembers you, and the strength required to accept that sacrifice without resentment.
The 60-second preview introduces listeners to the emotional gravity of the piece—its slow unfolding, its sense of suspended time, and its underlying tenderness. Even without lyrics, the composition mirrors the poem’s journey: tragedy, divine intervention, heartbreak, and acceptance, all held together by a steady sense of devotion.
This preview is an invitation to reflect on love that transcends time but accepts its limits. Some acts of love are never seen, never acknowledged, and never returned—but they matter all the same. In “The Love Of A Time Traveler,” love is portrayed as selfless, enduring, and quietly heroic.
The full version of “The Love Of A Time Traveler” will be available with the release of Winter Rhapsody Volume 2: Echoes of Medina on Friday, December 26. Until then, this brief preview stands as a meditation on sacrifice and remembrance—a reminder that some loves are worth every regret, even if they must be lived alone.
