First composed March 2016, and had an odd code name for a while that was randomly generated text: 'manysipivu' and later it went by the code name 'Phoenix' for a long time. However after other instruments were added, we felt the mood was more of being caught in a daydream in which you have a ton of ideas, and how that feels. In 2022 Masha mixed and mastered the song and named it 'Swept Away By Stunning Inspiration', with the song art by Masha alluding to the fact that it's a companion song to both of our tracks 'Autumn Breeze' with a similar theme to 'When Passion Conquers Fear'.
Synth work by Rob and Masha.

Lyrics:
It is almost 17 o’clock, work is done, I need a walk
On a chilly eve of a beautiful autumn day
Trying to breathe deeply negativity away
Into the woods I went to try and clear my head,
(Exhale the memories…)
Want to erase the worry, and put joy into its stead,
(Exhale the memories…)
As I was strolling towards the bay,
(Exhale the memories…)
I took a seat on a bench along the way
Setting my thoughts back to the present time
Hearing the distant village clock’s timely chime
Made me do a double-take,
I take in the view of the nature that surrounded,
I found myself astounded!
At the rays that shone brightly through the multicoloured trees
(I found myself astounded!)
Orange, amber, yellow, and copper, bright red, and green,
Orange, amber, yellow, and copper, bright red, and green,
As the wind blew rustling countless leaves,
They made the finest natural choir,
Some drift down, with feather light graceful ease,
I figured out that nothing in my life is truly very dire
Since I have caught a glimpse at this spectacular scene
If I were not here, it would have gone completely unseen
Like a vision but so clear and so very pristine
I take in the view of the nature that surrounded,
I found myself astounded!
At the rays that shone brightly through the multicoloured trees
Orange, amber, yellow, and copper, bright red, and green,
Orange, amber, yellow, and copper, bright red, and green,
I take in the view of the nature that surrounded,
I found myself astounded!
At the rays that shone brightly through the multicoloured trees
Orange, amber, yellow, and copper, bright red, and green,
Orange, amber, yellow, and copper, bright red, and green
(Exhale the memories…)
