Arlen Yanch – Traverse (Audio Only)
July 12, 2025, in Music > Recording Artist, by Sonjel Vreeland“Traverse” is a musical piece composed and performed by Arlen Yanch who said he had two things in mind when creating it: the journey of the soul and also the journey of the power of one’s prayer.
He said:
The first part represents the prayer being said and then the second part is the power of that prayer on its journey as it gets fainter and fainter as it travels away from the person who uttered the prayer and moves toward whoever was prayed for. Similarly I had the thought of the soul moving farther away from this physical realm and closer toward the other spiritual realms.
