Four original songs: Living Ledger, TRUE LEDGER, Budapest Panoráma and Pave It With Your Heart
Four songs, one songwriter. Two grew out of the documentary book RIPPLE, one is about Budapest, and one is about choosing your own road. All four in one place: what each song is about, where to listen, and where to watch the official video.
Some chapters would not stay on the page. While the documentary book RIPPLE was being written, a few lines turned up that did not belong in a footnote – they belonged to a melody. That is how Data Analytic Investments came to have a music side.
Today four songs stand in a row. Every lyric is written by a person – Szabó János – and the music is set with AI. The songs are not about prices and they give no advice about anything. They are about what a song can be about: a word you keep, a record anyone can read, a city, and a road.
Magyarul: Négy saját dal
1. Living Ledger
A public ledger is never closed. We usually imagine a ledger as something finished: a book on a shelf, a column of numbers that nobody reopens. A public ledger is different. Every entry stays readable, anyone can check it, and new entries are added every few seconds.
Living Ledger follows that idea. The official video starts with the book on the table, moves through people reading in a café and on the street, and ends on the cover and the source apparatus. The song was written for the RIPPLE book, but it is not an advertisement: the book is the subject, and the ledger is the subject.

2. TRUE LEDGER
"The world got faster. The feeling did not."
TRUE LEDGER moves in four parts. The first is about a world that went digital: money, messages and records moved onto screens faster than people could follow. The second is about slowing down – one page, one date, one source at a time. The third is about machines that take on more of the work every year, and about why the record matters more because of them, not less. The fourth is the line the whole song is built on: what is written on a public ledger can be checked. It is not a myth.

3. Budapest Panoráma
The only Hungarian-language song of the four. Words and music: Szabó János.
From the Buda side, Budapest is not a map. The Danube is right at your feet, the lights of the bridges move on the water, and the city is far away and very close at the same time. Budapest Panoráma is a love song in which the city is not a backdrop – it is the other person. The chorus says it in a single image: I fell for you all at once, like a bridge falls across a river; the whole panorama of Budapest is in your eyes tonight.
Here a bridge is more than a crossing. It is the moment two banks finally find each other.

4. Pave It With Your Heart
"A wish is only weather. A choice is what you do."
A slow soul ballad about choosing your road: laying the stones yourself, and listening to your heart even when the truth hurts. Of the four, this is the first one that reached the streaming services.

Where to listen
Pave It With Your Heart is already on Spotify. The other three releases are in progress: each streaming service processes them on its own schedule, so they do not appear everywhere in the same hour. Each song's HyperFollow page always shows where it can already be played.
