“Alchemy: a seemingly magical process of transformation and creation, taking grief and pain, turning them into hope and light”
“So these past couple years, I’ve been grappling with the concept of impermanence and the heart-breaking notion of leaving loved ones behind” says Hawk. And on a more positive hopeful note, Hawk also explores what it is to live in the now, in the present moment and being the best that one can be.

More friend to be – more things to see
More tears to cry – more wondering why
More air to breathe – time to be free”

When You Fall Asleep Before I Do (Hawk Björn)
Hawk: Lead Vocal, Harmony Vocals, Piano, Keyboards, Bass
Winston: Acoustic Guitars
“At night, when you fall asleep before I do, I look at you and feel a pang of sorrow. My heart stops for just a minute, knowing that you will be gone one day, away from me and our steadfast, loyal bond. Our love is so strong but not strong enough to defy death. Not powerful enough to beat the odds of the disease that is slowly but surely claiming you. My love, my best friend, my soul partner, may you live, if not long, then well and as fully as possible.”
