I’m wondering why

“Волной (As the Wave)” is about how easy it is to lose yourself in someone -
when their presence feels like a tide pulling you under.
It’s not about love in a bright way, but about that quiet, consuming connection
where you fade, willingly, until you can’t tell where you end and they begin.

This is the demo version — raw, imperfect, honest.
No mixing, no mastering just demo.
Should I finish it and make a full release?

Волной

Aleh Adler - Волной ( As the Wave  demo)

Another song about the state of this sad world.

We’re looking for a place.

90's inspired guitar rock. Produced and recorded in Metro Detroit.

Saw him on the way to work, a face without a soul.
I see him grinding most every day.
When evening comes his day is done. He parks out on the road.
But when he's home, he's so alone. He's got no place to go.

I will ride when he drives.
Anyway I want to know, I've got no place to go.

The evening cracks. The man is on his own.
He clicks a belt and slips it into drive.
Where he goes, I just don't know. I'll help him find his way.
I decide he takes a ride just to get through one more day.

I will ride when he drives.
Anyway I want to know. I've got no place to go.
Will he die if I thrive.
Anyway I want to know. I've got no place to go.

My shadow's getting longer everyday.
Watching shadows past fade away.
My shadow's getting longer, that's no doubt.
Well that's just how life stretches out.

When He Drives

Composed, produced, sung and played by Carlos R (Carlos Rodrigues)

Teus olhos eram a luz da minha vida
Agarravas meu polegar ao adormecer
Foi aquela decisão irrefletida
Que sem pensar deitei tudo a perder

Na minha alma guardei a tua imagem
No meu caderno desenhei-te uma flor
Esta ferida que não cura com o tempo
Sabe a derrota e com ela vem a dor

Mas o que sinto mesmo estando distante, ás vezes penso que tudo podia mudar
Pudesse eu ser aquele amigo gigante para contigo sorrir e te abraçar
Deixei-te um dia sem nenhuma reserva, e uma voz me dizia que te iria perder
Agora vivo nesta imensa tristeza quando te vejo numa foto e não te posso ter

Passamos juntos alguns belos momentos
Da tua voz não me vou esquecer
Se o homem não revela os sentimentos
Falta coragem naquilo que quer dizer

Os anos passam e aumenta o silencio
Se ninguém fala não podemos escutar
Não existe nada contra um argumento
Se for sincero só devemos aceitar

Mas o que sinto mesmo estando distante, ás vezes penso que tudo podia mudar
Pudesse eu ser aquele amigo gigante para contigo sorrir e te abraçar
Deixei-te um dia sem nenhuma reserva, e uma voz me dizia que te iria perder
Agora vivo nesta imensa tristeza quando te vejo numa foto e não te posso ter

Não te posso ter
Nesta nossa distancia
Para dizer que te amo

Triste por não te poder ter
Nesta nossa distancia
Para dizer que te amo
Para dizer que te amo



Nossa distancia

Ode To Me

This music is the soundtrack to the film "L'aranya teixeix llum" (The Spider Weaves the Light).

It is therefore advisable to watch the film directly on YouTube, as the images and music complement each other, forming a superior whole (unfortunately, SoundCloud does not allow films), so it is better to watch the film than just the music:

This is a locally produced film centered on the Ripoll River, a small river that runs through the outskirts of Sabadell, a city near Barcelona (Spain). It is a short film (13') with a documentary approach but with a "artistic" style. We made it together with Nativitat Ayala and it is based on a poetic text written by her (with the same name as the film). She was primarily responsible for the plot idea and the script. I was in charge of the technical aspects (filming and editing) and, of course, also the musical composition.

The overall intention of this film was to highlight this river and its natural and wild environment, which is still preserved today and is currently in danger given the latest proposals to modify its industrial and tertiary uses by the City Council (which are not at all appreciated by most of the opposition and citizen movements).

Also, in the first part of the film, we sought to emphasize that the harsh conditions that the working women endured in the warehouses of the old factories of the last century are also part of the history of this river.

Thus, in this first part, we sought to create, both with the images and the music, a more somber and despondent atmosphere, which gradually transitions to greater luminosity and serenity, eventually achieving, in the final section, a liberating effect by showing that the natural and wild nature of the river ultimately prevails (at least for the time being). And all of this using a "poetic-artistic language" and modest and simple technical means.

Below are two PDF files, in English and Spanish, that explain the characteristics of the music:

The film's soundtrack


Thank you for listening to my music, I think I have found the right sound and I needed so much more practice.  The feedback has been amazing and helpful, we all need guidance and I need more than most. For me music is about self expression and I focus more on the emotion than been a Diva. What is fame?  A concept and for some it is important but for me my music is to bring solace to those who listen.  That is what years of music has done for me, helped me understand myself and fight my demons. The amount of tears I shed listening to music and how it helped me heal, that was the most important thing music helped me do, heal! Writing my own songs was cathartic and I released years of suppressed trauma and pain. Beautiful!
My timing is all over the place as I cannot do maths and my dyspraxia means my motor skills are rubbish and my guitar playing limited. Thank you for your support.  Keep on playing and singing! These tracks are my unplugged versions, as I am a musician but not a performer, so this is as close as I get to performing live! Thank you again for taking the time to listen!
