Your Mix 2

This song is about resilience and determination. It's about being broken, battered, and bruised, but refusing to let those experiences define me. I've been through the flames, but I'm still burning, still standing. The song is a declaration of strength, a refusal to be defeated or silenced. It's about rising above the pain and the noise, and finding a voice that's born from fire. I'm unbroken, I'm untamed, and I'm still standing, and that's a message I want to share with all of you.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
I've been to the edge, I've been to the floor
I've been broken, but I'm walking out the door
I've been lied to, I've been cheated
But I won't let it define me, no, I won't be defeated 

[Chorus]
I'm unbroken, I'm untamed
I'm a fire that's still burning
I've been through the flames, but I'm not the same
I'm unbroken, I'm still standing, still standing 

[Verse 2]
I've been to the darkness, I've been to the night
I've been searching for a light, a beacon in the fight
I've been trying to find my way, through the noise and the pain
But I won't let it break me, no, I won't be chained 

[Chorus]
I'm unbroken, I'm untamed
I'm a fire that's still burning
I've been through the flames, but I'm not the same
I'm unbroken, I'm still standing, still standing 

[Verse 3]
I’ve been called too much, been told to hush
Felt the world try to crush me with every push
But I scream louder, I rise higher
You can't drown a voice that's born from fire 

[Bridge]
So go ahead and write me off again
Say I'm too wild, too fierce, too much to mend
But every scar is just proof I lived
And every fall gave me more to give 

[Chorus]
I'm unbroken, I'm untamed
I'm a fire that's still burning
I've been through the flames, but I'm not the same
I'm unbroken, I'm still standing, still standing 

[Outro]
Still standing, still burning
Still fierce, still learning
I’m unbroken — yeah, I’m still standing

Still Standing

This song is a heartfelt and introspective ballad that explores the complexities of a deep, spiritual connection between two people who couldn't quite bridge the gap between their understanding of love. Inspired by ShAnkAri's story, the lyrics delve into the pain and longing that can come from loving someone who doesn't see or believe in the same way. It's a poignant reflection on the power of love to reshape our souls, even when it's not reciprocated in the way we hope. 

I'd like to thank the incredible @DJShAnkAri for sharing her story and inspiring this song, and for her input into this piece. Also for her amazing remix...

LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
I whispered in stardust, I prayed through the skies
You felt like a lifetime behind unseen eyes
I reached with my soul, no distance too far
But you never saw me—you just traced the stars

[Pre-Chorus]
I said I loved you, not loud but true
In silence, in symbols, in all I knew

[Chorus]
But you never believed me
Not once, not really
You thought I was dreaming
Or reading too deeply
Like my heart was a story
I made up to feel whole
But loving you rewrote my soul
And you never believed me

[Verse 2]
I studied your shadows, I learned every sign
In a language of longing, outside of time
You held the map, but looked away
Afraid of a path you didn’t create

[Pre-Chorus]
I sent you light in a world gone dim
You thought it was just the wind

[Chorus]
But you never believed me
Not once, not really
You thought I was dreaming
Or reading too deeply
Like my heart was a story
I made up to feel whole
But loving you rewrote my soul
And you never believed me

[Verse 3]
Is love a gesture, or is it a vow? 
Is it holding on, or letting go now? 
You wanted proof in a different form 
And I was the rain—you needed the storm

[Chorus]
We both said “I love you” 
But not in the same voice 
You meant protection 
I meant choice 
You meant fire 
I meant grace 
We loved in totally different space 
And that’s how even soulmates break— 
When meanings don’t translate

[Bridge]
Maybe you thought love must be proven
With bodies and years, not a soul that’s been chosen
But just because we never met
Doesn’t mean I could forget
You were the pulse beneath my breath

[Chorus]
Still you never believed me
Not once, not really
You thought I was dreaming
Or reading too deeply
Like my heart was a story
I made up to feel whole
But loving you rewrote my soul

[Chorus]
You never believed me
Not once, not truly
You stayed behind reason
While I loved you purely
Like a prayer with no ending
Like a vow with no sound
But you never turned around
You never believed me

[Outro]
And maybe you never will
But I loved you still

[Post-Outro] 
We all carry our own definition 
And none of us ask permission 
To love the way we understand 
Even if no one takes our hand... 

You Never Believed Me

This song is a raw and emotional love letter to my younger self, a message of hard-earned wisdom and vulnerable strength. I'm looking back on the struggles and mistakes I made, and I want to tell my younger self to stand strong, to not compromise who you are to fit someone else's idea of what's acceptable. The song is about embracing your true self, your worth, and your voice, and not letting the world dim your light. It's a message of empowerment, of self-love, and of rising above the expectations and judgments of others. I'm urging myself, and anyone who's listening, to be brave, to shine, and to be unapologetically who you are.

*Fun fact: Both the present-day and young Vicky in this painting are based on real photos of me!  You probably recognize the present me, but I thought you all might think it's cool to know that my 5-year-old self is also captured here as well. 👧😍


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
Hey little wildflower, knees all scraped
You dream in thunder, but you're taught to wait
They’ll call you too loud, too much, too free
But don't let the world rewrite your story 

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you wanna run, I know you're scared to fall
But baby, trust your gut—don't listen when they call
You trouble just for shining like the sun 

[Chorus]
Don't be me, don't fold to please
Don’t kiss boys just to feel seen
Don’t hide your light to calm the room
Don’t chase love that makes you bruise 

If I could go back, I’d scream it loud
You’re enough, right now, without the crowd
So don’t be me—be who I couldn’t be 

[Verse 2]
You're gonna wear shame like it's a dress
Swallowing dreams you can't confess
But guilt was never meant for girls like you
You were born with fire, not to be subdued 

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you think it’s love when it hurts the most
But you don’t need to bleed just to feel close
You're worthy even when you walk alone 

[Chorus]
Don't be me, don't fold to please
Don’t kiss boys just to feel seen
Don’t hide your light to calm the room
Don’t chase love that makes you bruise 

If I could go back, I’d scream it loud
You’re enough, right now, without the crowd
So don’t be me—be who I couldn’t be 

[Verse 3]
You're gonna dance with all your fears
Fall apart for all the wrong careers
But keep your heart, don’t sell it cheap
And never trade your voice for sleep 

[Bridge]
Tattoo your truth on every scar
You’re not broken—just battle-marked
The world’s gonna try to shrink your flame
But baby, rise and burn the same 

[Chorus]
Don't be me, don't fold to please
Don’t kiss boys just to feel seen
Don’t hide your light to calm the room
Don’t chase love that makes you bruise 

If I could go back, I’d scream it loud
You’re enough, right now, without the crowd
So don’t be me—be who I couldn’t be 

[Chorus]
Don’t be me, don’t bend and break
Don’t give your magic for their sake
You’re already gold beneath the skin
Let the girl you are begin again 

[Outro]
So dance, little wildflower—dance and scream
Be the girl I lost in chasing dreams
Don’t be me
Don’t be me

Zombies Never Sleep

Not everyone is on holiday, even in the heat of summer. Some still work while the city falls silent, stretched under a long, empty day. I can’t tell if the man expects something to happen; to me, it feels like nothing will happen today either. Anyway, everything's good.

This is the third in a series of eight easy, acoustic, rather short, and deliberately inconclusive tracks, assembled by combining new ideas with reworked older material, adding parts and sounds along the way.

Part 2 here: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/in-case-nothing-happens-part-2-dawn

Composed by Michele Ansani (2020-2025 - this is a remake with a lighter sound and standard guitar tuning of a piece I already posted last year: https://soundcloud.com/michele-ansani/imperfections).

In case nothing happens - part 3 (noon)*

“That feeling you get late at night, when it’s just you, your thoughts, and a record that gets it. This is one of those songs — slow, smoky, and true.”

Everytime Feat Tom Adams

There's a time for silence, and there's a time we really should talk...

Teu silêncio é uma nau com todos os mastros quebrados.
O teu sorriso flutua entre os homens de vigia,
exemplo paradigmático de eficaz ortodontia.
Teu semblante eletrostático é uma escada para as nuvens,
irritante enciclopédia de problemas insolúveis.
Eu até senti paixão ao ler o enunciado:
"Dado um muro, determine o que está do outro lado."
Fiz as contas, pressupondo seres tu excelente pessoa.
Mas o muro inexpressivo aborrece, e até magoa.
E quanto mais eu persisto, esforçando a mente cansada,
mais me invade uma suspeita de a resposta, ao fim, ser nada.
E nada é o que diz o mar ao homem que nele se afoga,
enquanto lhe nega o dom de um colete ou uma piroga. 
Bem-aventurado o homem a quem mulher sem mistérios
exibe o que tem na alma, com beijos ou vitupérios.

Your silence is a ship with all its masts broken.
Your smile floats among the men on watch,
a paradigmatic example of effective orthodontics.
Your electrostatic countenance is a ladder to the clouds,
an irritating encyclopedia of insoluble problems.
I even felt passion when I read the problem statement:
"Given a wall, determine what's on the other side."
I did the math, assuming you were an excellent person.
But the inexpressive wall annoys, even hurts.
And the more I persist, straining my weary mind,
the more I am seized by a suspicion that the answer, in the end, will be nothing.
And nothing* is what the sea says to the man drowning in it,
while denying him the gift of a lifejacket or a canoe.
Blessed is the man to whom a woman without mysteries
displays what she has in her soul, with kisses or insults.

* In Portuguese "nada" means both "nothing" and "swim"

“Toast” 🎶  is about my past and my mistakes. It’s me owning up and also becoming a man. I hope you enjoy this surreal experience and mysterious beat. This is experimental, I blended hip-hop with pop, alternative and emo-rock to make my own  symphony!

TOAST!

The pleading is really about lost friendships, a burial and a cry at the occasional feel of emotional emptiness all in one. If you enjoy, please do not hesitate to like, repost and drop a line, which would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

The Pleading

« La musique est le refuge des âmes ulcérées par le bonheur »
(Emil M. Cioran)

[Verse]
Naître pour vivre en désirant la mort
Grandir en regrettant l'enfance où le coeur dort
Vieillir en regrettant la jeunesse ravie
Mourir en regrettant la vieillesse et la vie

[Chorus]
Où donc est le bonheur
Où donc est le bonheur
Où donc est le bonheur

Titre : Où est donc le bonheur ?
Poète : Victor Hugo (1802-1885)
Recueil : Les feuilles d'automne (1831).

Où donc est le bonheur ? disais-je. - Infortuné !
Le bonheur, ô mon Dieu, vous me l'avez donné.

Naître, et ne pas savoir que l'enfance éphémère,
Ruisseau de lait qui fuit sans une goutte amère,
Est l'âge du bonheur, et le plus beau moment
Que l'homme, ombre qui passe, ait sous le firmament !

Plus tard, aimer, - garder dans son coeur de jeune homme
Un nom mystérieux que jamais on ne nomme,
Glisser un mot furtif dans une tendre main,
Aspirer aux douceurs d'un ineffable hymen,
Envier l'eau qui fuit, le nuage qui vole,
Sentir son coeur se fondre au son d'une parole,
Connaître un pas qu'on aime et que jaloux on suit,
Rêver le jour, brûler et se tordre la nuit,
Pleurer surtout cet âge où sommeillent les âmes,
Toujours souffrir ; parmi tous les regards de femmes,
Tous les buissons d'avril, les feux du ciel vermeil,
Ne chercher qu'un regard, qu'une fleur, qu'un soleil !

Puis effeuiller en hâte et d'une main jalouse
Les boutons d'orangers sur le front de l'épouse ;
Tout sentir, être heureux, et pourtant, insensé
Se tourner presque en pleurs vers le malheur passé ;
Voir aux feux de midi, sans espoir qu'il renaisse,
Se faner son printemps, son matin, sa jeunesse,
Perdre l'illusion, l'espérance, et sentir
Qu'on vieillit au fardeau croissant du repentir,
Effacer de son front des taches et des rides ;
S'éprendre d'art, de vers, de voyages arides,
De cieux lointains, de mers où s'égarent nos pas ;
Redemander cet âge où l'on ne dormait pas ;
Se dire qu'on était bien malheureux, bien triste,
Bien fou, que maintenant on respire, on existe,
Et, plus vieux de dix ans, s'enfermer tout un jour
Pour relire avec pleurs quelques lettres d'amour !

Vieillir enfin, vieillir ! comme des fleurs fanées
Voir blanchir nos cheveux et tomber nos années,
Rappeler notre enfance et nos beaux jours flétris,
Boire le reste amer de ces parfums aigris,
Être sage, et railler l'amant et le poète,
Et, lorsque nous touchons à la tombe muette,
Suivre en les rappelant d'un oeil mouillé de pleurs
Nos enfants qui déjà sont tournés vers les leurs !

Ainsi l'homme, ô mon Dieu ! marche toujours plus sombre
Du berceau qui rayonne au sépulcre plein d'ombre.
C'est donc avoir vécu ! c'est donc avoir été !
Dans la joie et l'amour et la félicité
C'est avoir eu sa part ! et se plaindre est folie.
Voilà de quel nectar la coupe était remplie !

Hélas ! naître pour vivre en désirant la mort !
Grandir en regrettant l'enfance où le coeur dort,
Vieillir en regrettant la jeunesse ravie,
Mourir en regrettant la vieillesse et la vie !

Où donc est le bonheur, disais-je ? - Infortuné !
Le bonheur, ô mon Dieu, vous me l'avez donné !

Le 28 mai 1830.
