“The Alchemist” is about connections that go beyond words, about feelings so intense they seem like a chemical reaction. IRAIDA speaks about those vibrations you feel only with someone special, transforming emotions into music. With a hypnotic vibe and lyrics that stay with you, the song immerses you in the magic of true love. Through this piece, IRAIDA wants to pause the daily rush and remind us of what truly matters: love.
The song was written by IRAIDA and produced by Petre Octavian Ioachim (Achi).
“We’ve all had an alchemist in our lives. Someone who could turn black into white with a single touch. Someone beside whom nothing felt too heavy, too dark, or too far away. ‘The Alchemist’ is the person who will always remain deep in your heart, no matter where life takes you; a tribute to love. For me, love means magic… and without magic, everything would be dull. In the times we live in, love has become extremely underrated. We’re busy making money, climbing the social ladder, addicted to distractions that drown out the present moment. Everything moves so fast, feelings burn out quickly, comparisons are just a click away, and we strive for perfection. Hug your loved one. Compliment them. Tell them how much they mean to you. Send them a message. Make time. Be present. Enjoy what you have. Apologize if you’ve made a mistake. Pride won’t hug you back or give you the longer side of the blanket. At the end of the day… you might have everything, in theory. But you’ll realize that without love… you have nothing 🙏🏻,” says IRAIDA.
