"Out of my heart flowed many songs; I sought them not, they were inspired in me."
- Frithjof Schuon
​Anar Rajabali is the lyricist on the full-length concept album Epiphany−a collection of intimately evocative songs spanning over a decade. Moved by mysticism and inspired by life's journey, Anar infuses her own search and spirituality into contemplative lyrics. Epiphany is intended to be an introspective experience where each song in itself is a pilgrimage.
"As Schuon sees poetry as song, I have written both lyrics and poetry, and poetry becoming song, and song becoming poetry, and by delving and dancing in both forms I am responding to the music that words carry, attuned to both the tone and the tune. In the privilege of creating this Music, my own purposing comes in living a lyrical life that is always in a place of searching. And in a sense, my own search for strength, beauty, grace and revelation became these lyrics. If there is one central theme of this album it would quite simply be: Desire. In creating and collaborating on these songs, was always a place of love—both human and divine—where poetry, spirit and music became one." (Rajabali, 2017) ​
