Apstājies | |
Bet dzīvē viss ir savādāk | |
Ēnas tvērējs | |
Lai mainās viss | |
Pieskāriens | |
Pilnmēness naktī | |
Sapnis | |
Tears For Free | |
Tu mani uzrunā | |
Turn Around | |
Vai esmu šeit | |
Vēl diena nesākas | |
Vēlos | |
Čuksti uzmodināja pilsētu | |
Manā istabā | |
Vakars pazūd debesīs | |
Pagaidi mazliet | |
Blūzs | |
Nevaru sadzirdēt | |
Ēnas zīmē mūsus stāvus | |
Ar tevi | |
Par klusumu | |
Mirklis | |
Naktī | |
Cerību laiks |
