november

emotion (feat. Equinox)

My second album, "november" is a more introverted and focused take on electronic music. Produced over the course of four months, these 12 tracks range from lofi hip-hop to video game soundtrack, but all of them have the warm fuzzy feel of autumn

This music is available free to download and can be used for personal or commercial purposes as long as I am credited :)

so apparently i can sing now?

>> in a perfect world | spring 2022 <<

you know how it is

♫ we live on the edge, of the end of a story ♫

★ ad astra forever ☆

Vocals, Keys, Guitar, Production, Mix/Master: Will Malec

>>LYRICS>>

there’s a fixed limit  on how long i’m here
you didn’t think to tell me this

but i have to live, to live with the knowledge
with the power to keep moving on

and i know you’ll worry
about me when i say this
but it’s ok, I’m ok

we live on the edge
of the end of a story
walk on the stones
of the place at its close

we see what may be here, 
their only legacy
no one deserves
to be forgotten by the earth

to be one with nature
it’s a beautiful place
i could spend a life time here
but they spend more

so i’ll keep going, so that those before me
don’t think that it’s a waste of time

and they might worry
about how i say this
but it’s ok, i’m ok

we live on the edge
of the end of a story
walk on the stones
of the place at its close

we see what may be 
here, their only legacy
no one deserves
to be forgotten by the earth

after the end

maybe this is perfect
maybe this is worth it

maybe this is perfect

maybe this is my world
so maybe i should like it

is it a philosophical question to unconditionally love the planet you live on?

maybe this is perfect

♫ how'd i end up here, elliot street station ♫

>>LYRICS>>

i don’t know where i’d go to hide
i never had a reason why
i don’t know how to say goodbye
i need a way to feel alive

i wanna see the world around me again
i don’t wanna listen to you tell me i can’t
everyone would worry but i know i’ll be fine
you know i hear your concerns, do you get mine

you know they lying when they say you can’t buy time
most people can’t afford it if they save all their lives
we dream of being different, in the same way
just like everyone else you’re a special snowflake 

i don’t know where i’d go to hide
i never had a reason why
i don’t know how to say goodbye
i need a way to feel alive

never know when i want to go
i wait until the winter snow
i’m inside when the wind it blows
i don’t feel like i’m in control

that’s what we all say
sit here waiting all day
pretend we’re doing something
procrastinate till someday
some way
i think they find me boring 
is there someone else i can be 
to show them that i’m somebody 

if all that we could see are shadows on the wall
then we would wonder how she got there at all
feelings the same and that’s what tells me to stay
and so i don’t tell anyone i want to run away
(every day)

i don’t know where i’d go to hide
i never had a reason why
i don’t know how to say goodbye
i need a way to feel alive

never know when i want to go
i wait until the winter snow
i’m inside when the wind blows
i don’t feel like i’m in control

how did i end up here
elliot street station
it’s 5 in the morning
parking lot is vacant
how can i face my fears
if i don’t know what i’m chasing 
sorry there was no warning
i promise i’m not faking 

(so how’d i get here, to elliot street station)
(it doesn’t really exist, my little secret)
(kind of a metaphor for how i keep waiting)
(but if i give you this thought, you might keep it)

elliot street station, 4:51 a.m.

♫ i tried to laugh about it, cover it all up with lies ♫

♫ am i a boy? am i a star? ♫

Vocals, Guitar, Keys, Production, Mix/Master: Will Malec

★ ad astra forever ☆


{LYRICS}
Am I a star, am I a boy?
I’ve fallen this far, was I made to destroy?
When I came here, I fell from the sky
I didn’t understand why they made me a guy 

In outer space, the distance among
The galaxies, and their planets and suns 
It’s an uncharted sea, but we understand
Some boys want to be in this in-between land

That’s where I want to live
In this in-between land

But I fell to earth, where my self-worth 
Is measured in footballs and toy guns
I don’t understand, why the in-between land
Is gone and scattered to stardust

I guess i’m stuck here
I guess i’m stuck here

Am I a boy, am I a star
I think I’m okay, the way things are
You called me a he, that’s who I’ll be
But I wouldn’t really mind if you could see

The nebula, a star destroyed
Is it a girl, is it a boy?
Did it explode, into a man,
Or did you find the in-between land?

I hope that I can find
The in-between land 

But I fell to earth, where my self-worth 
Is measured in footballs and toy guns
I don’t understand, why the in-between land
it’s gone and scattered to stardust

I can’t go back, I can’t backtrack
Along the cycle of rebirth
If I never see, the place in between
I’ll make it for myself on earth

I’ll build a home here
I’ll build a home here

{LYRICS}
I wanted to thank you for opening my eyes
To the things I didn’t want to see
I wanted to thank you for teaching me the way
Just by being the way 
That you are

I hope you stay okay
You’re a good person, stay that way

I hope that I see you again
I hope that this isn’t the end
If I never see you again
Thank you for being my friend

But for now, this is goodbye
But for now, this is goodbye

♫ if nobody wants to listen, i'll make music for the trees ♫

★ ad astra forever ☆

Vocals, Keys, Guitar, Production, Mix/Master: Will Malec

{LYRICS}
There’s nobody watching, 
So what’s the point?
When I pour heart and soul 
Into things that you’ll never hear

What’s the point of wasting 
My precious time
I should go and get paid
Instead of hiding away in here

Twenty million seconds
Might seem like a lot
Am I spending it well
If I don’t stop to smell the rose

I never aimed for perfect, 
But I won’t give up
I’m not gonna miss,
That’s not how this one goes

If nobody wants to listen
I’ll make music for the trees
Won’t let anybody stop me
When i’m following a dream
If I make one person happier
My purpose here is done
I don’t care who you are
If i’m not the only one 

In the evergreen
In the evergreen

If it doesn’t echo 
From your stereo
It’ll ring from the hills
And find itself a home

If I never make it
If i’m not well-known 
Well that’s fine by me
I’ll be happy on my own

It’ll happen sometimes
I’ll mess things up
Keep moving ahead
Keep my confidence afloat

When I think i’ve fallen, 
And no one’s there for me 
When i’m lost in my head
I find what matters most

If nobody wants to listen
I’ll make music for the trees
Won’t let anybody stop me
When i’m following a dream
If I make one person happier
My purpose here is done
I don’t care who you are
If i’m not the only one 

In the evergreen
In the evergreen

{LYRICS}

Across the road, once upon a dream
Different faces, different people
Different places, different me

A different tone, all the way back when
You were bolder, you were colder
I think you were better then

Saw you today, I sat next to you
You were laughing, you were smiling
You were happy, it was true

You talked so free, not the way I knew
If things had worked out for the better,
But I know that it’s no use


To be friends
What would I have been
If our time together
Never came to an end

We used to be friends
I have no regrets
But I sometimes look back
To how it was back then

The way we used to be
Used to be, used to be friends

You were filled with fire, you were made of ice
You were hoping, you were open
But you were never nice

You were the first in flight, with a heart so strong
You were weathered, kept untethered
Where did everything go wrong

Why am I this way? why am I so sad?
Shouldn’t I suffice with grateful
That I wouldn’t be like that

Should I be this way? I don’t wanna be you,
You make decisions, cause divisions,
And I know that it’s no use to be friends

We used to be friends, but we were co-dependent
Leaning to heavily on one another
You only wanted a shoulder to cry on
And I only wanted to be your lover
(We used to be friends)
You learned to stand on your own two feet
And you found you no longer needed me
While I accept that you deserve to be free
I sometimes think about how it used to be

We used to be friends
What would I have been
If our time together
Never came to an end

We used to be friends
I have no regrets
But I sometimes look back
To how it was back then
The way we used to be

Used to be, used to be friends
(Was it better then? Was it better then?)
Used to be, used to be friends
(Was it better then? Was it better then)
Used to be, used to be friends

♫ if i turn to silver, are you there for me? ♫

★ ad astra forever ☆

Vocals, Guitar, Keys, Production, Mix/Master: Will Malec

{LYRICS}
I’m losing my patience
I can’t just keep waiting
For things to change, they stay the same
I want to cry

They say “it’s a time thing”
That it won’t stay like this
But you don’t know, if I can grow
I need to let it out

When I look in the mirror
Tell me, why are you always there
If I turn myself silver
Can I find myself anywhere

If I can’t see the forest 
Then i’ll cut down all the trees
Till I don’t feel so empty
Till the rivers run with green

Red like inferno
Tie myself to the ground
It’s a shade you know
Silver river of sound

I’m losing my patience
I can’t just keep waiting
For things to change, they stay the same
I want to cry

They say “it’s a time thing”
That it won’t stay like this
But you don’t know, if I can grow
I need to let it out

You can see your reflection
But for me there’s no one there
Just an empty promise
Tell myself one day, i’ll care

Is the air getting colder 
Or is that just what I assume
As the leaves fall around me
But I never left my room

My room for improvement
Things I say i’ll do
One day imma lose it
Lose the things I knew 

About myself

About the world, about the trees
About the sky, about the sea
About the stars, about the sun
About the wind, but never me

I see the world, I see the trees 
I see the sky, I see the sea
I see the stars, I see the sun
I see the wind
(But why can’t I see?)

I’m losing my patience
I can’t just keep waiting
For things to change, they stay the same
I want to cry

They say “it’s a time thing”
That it won’t stay like this
But you don’t know, if I can grow
I need to let it out

If I turn to silver, are you there for me?
If I turn to silver, then who will I be?

♫ every day i look into the lightbox, it might make me happy but it might not ♫

Vocals, Guitar, Production, Mix/Master: Will Malec

{LYRICS}
Wake up and put my brain out
I need to stay awake now
Go downstairs, hope it’s not loud
It’s quiet for everyone else

It’s cold despite the bright sun
Distracted as the bus comes
It’s blasting queen, it won’t stop
Ten minutes feels like so long

Every day I look into the lightbox
It might make me happy, but it might not
I can live for hours with my brain rot
Why do I come back

Every day I look into the lightbox
I might be productive but I might not
There goes another hour I lost
Why can’t I look away

A, B, C, D, E, F, G
The day goes by without me
Walk in the cemetery
But it got dark already

I want to feel the thunder
Lightbox just pulls me under
The fire calls me closer
Everyone’s a boy wonder

Look away from the light
Look at me, try to fight
Look away from the light
(Why do I come back)
Look away from the light
Look at me, try to fight
Look away from the light
(Why can’t I look away)

Every day I look into the lightbox
It might make me happy, but it might not
I can live for hours with my brain rot
Why do I come back

Every day I look into the lightbox
I might be productive but I might not
There goes another hour I lost
Why can’t I look away

{LYRICS}
I wanna go outside
I’ll dye my hair blue, for my first debut
I wanna feel the fire
I wanna break through, I can impress you

I wanna see the world
Get up off my feet, on elliot street
I wanna find a pearl
Don’t know what that means, i’ll feel my own beat

but I sit all alone, in my bedroom
I feel so at home, in my bedroom
I don’t want to go, from my bedroom

But there’s a voice that says 

Earth to cosmo,
There’s a whole world waiting for you
Things that you never knew
There’s so much out there
Follow me, let’s find the truth
We’re coming out of the blue
So wake up and stand up
‘Cause there’s so much for us to do, ooh

I’m gonna leave this town
As soon as I find, the energy i
Need to get off the ground
If we can all fly, then i’ll touch the sky

Don’t be afraid of the dream
I’m gonna be real, life’s kinda surreal
Exactly what it seems
I want nerves of steel, I wanna take the wheel

But I sit all alone, in my bedroom
I feel so at home, in my bedroom
I don’t want to go, from my bedroom

But there’s a voice that says 
Earth to cosmo,
There’s a whole world waiting for you
Things that you never knew
There’s so much out there
Follow me, let’s find the truth
We’re coming out of the blue
So wake up and stand up

{LYRICS}
It seemed pretty normal at the time
I met you for a week on top of a hill
But that summer things were out of line
I couldn’t shut my mouth you couldn’t keep still

I wish I told you how I really felt
Now it’s all too late and i’m kicking myself
I still regret the way it all went down
They’d always say that i’ll find somebody else

And they’re probably right

I didn’t think I was in love
But I couldn’t get enough
Of the faded shade of green
That we both used to be
All the best times of our lives
The year the hills died
And turned red and gold and brown
And now you’re never around

We pretended to be brothers
But I never got your number

Up there we could see for miles and miles
We used to hike the hills, you were my number-one
It was august and the sun smiled
I didn’t realize how special this was

There was no fire, there were stories
Of when you fall right back down into this mess
I promise they were never boring
I got distracted by you doing your best

and you were always right

I didn’t think I was in love
But I couldn’t get enough
Of the faded shade of green
That we both used to be
All the best times of our lives
The year the hills died
And turned red and gold and brown
And now you’re never around

And the smoke on the mountain is so cold
I don’t think I can get through it alone
The trees are on fire but it’s so cold
I can’t admit that i’m on my own

I didn’t think I was in love
But I couldn’t get enough
Of the faded shade of green
That we both used to be
All the best times of our lives
The year the hills died
And turned red and gold and brown
And now you’re never around

I didn’t think I was in love
But I couldn’t get enough
Of the faded shade of green
That we both used to be
All the best times of our lives
The year the hills died
And turned red and gold and brown
And now you’re never around

I didn’t think I was in love
But I couldn’t get enough
Of the faded shade of green
That we both used to be
All the best times of our lives
The year the hills died
And turned red and gold and brown
And now you’re never around

We pretended to be brothers
But I never got your number
Goodbye is such a bummer
But I’m not ready for another

the emerald green of the spring
it fades and dies, to yellow
it blazes again, and rises to red
and then dies again, and dies again

emerald green, remember me
sky blue eyes, a picture
a memory, before you leave
it dies again, it dies again

i’m waiting for a spark
i’m hiding from the dark 
i miss the thought of leaves
oh emerald green, come back to me

the emerald green, reality  
we’d write our names in constellations
and when it’s gone, all lost in thought
it dies again, it dies again 

the emerald green, doomed to repeat
there’s no way i can change it
so every year, i wait in fear
it dies again, it dies again

i’m waiting for a spark
i’m hiding from the dark 
i miss the thought of leaves
oh emerald green, come back to me

a place at the front of your mind

‘cause you’ve got nowhere left to hide
it’s perfect here
get out of here

there’s no way you’re in danger

it’s perfect here
get out of here

here in sunnyside
relax and let the sun take you away
out of our way
here in sunnyside
crushed coral and crushed dreams, it’s all the same
a better place
here they say it never rains
from the middle of a hurricane
it’s all the same

there’s a place, you can have some fun
a place that’ll cure all your ails
get some sun, like everyone

and i started to fall
would i realize, would i recognize 
myself at all, nowadays
and i’m hitting a wall, i’m so tired of the fall, the time i change

there’s a voice in my head
and i hear sometimes, he says the lines,
he says to give in, but i don’t
i can’t stop seeing them, i’m so tired of my head
the way i change, the way i change

it’s another season song
i keep coming back, i keep running back, 
‘cause it feels like home, in my head
like i can’t go wrong, but i’m tired of this song, it’s time i change

(woah-oh, oh-oh)
this time it’s gonna be different
(woah-oh, oh-oh)
this time i’m not gonna listen
(woah-oh, oh-oh, woah-oh, oh-oh)
so can you hear it?

i’m waiting for my life to start
i’m waiting for my my heart to stop again
it’s my summer song,
it’s my summer song
it’s my summer song,
it’s my summer song

and i’m falling apart
they say fear is fleeting, but summer’s leaving 
a hole in my heart, i can’t fix
and i’m back to the start, i’m so tired of my part, why do we change?

but i’m growing back whole
and i know with time, i’ll return to my song
healing my soul, and my heart
and i’m back in control, i’m so tired of not being whole, so now i changed
i’m back in place

(woah-oh, oh-oh)

i was here
have no fear
watch it fall
can’t recall it back

always changing, always moving
promising no answers or lies
always speaking, always listening
at least they’ll know that i tried

the church of oaks
will take you home
when it’s all over
the sycamore
grows no more
in this forest

i’ll plant a pine tree
to symbolize stability
for them 
but not for me

always changing, always moving
won’t let it turn to ashes and bones
always speaking, always listening
the world remembers its own

the church of oaks
will take me home
but it’s not over
the sycamore
will grow once more
in this forest

(church of oaks) (church of oaks) 
the church of oaks
will take me home
when it’s all over
the sycamore
will grow once more

you were born to fix what they broke you’ve carried the world in your arms
they told you to do what you could

don’t you dare to dream
don’t forget to

breathe in, the world is waiting
there’s a heart in your chest that’s beating
a reminder that fear is fleeting

breathe in, the war is over
your head and your heart are fighting
for the world you love

breathe in, breathe in
breathe in, breathe in

you fight, and you fight
and you win, and you win
and it’s all for what
you say you defend
but you don’t comprehend
what it means to live

breathe in, the world is waiting
there’s a war in your heart you’re losing
you don’t realize what you’re doing

breathe in, come back to the real world
feel the peace in the wind and the air
you’re not the only one who cares

in the world you love
for the world you love

the king

My version of "Seawall," by @neevdmusic on the record label @trappedanimal, more of a cover than a remix. A lovely original track that was a joy to learn for myself.

the king, pt. 2

it's that dream again, it's that dream again
it's that dream again, it's that dream again

the year is nineteen eighty-two, 
a boy turns eighteen, what does it mean?
drinking and driving and living and dying, 
whatever occurs in between

the time is twelve-o-six p.m., and he turns and says, 
you know i hate it when i'm free?
when you say "back in my day," you're not even trying, 
'cause time didn't stop in the nineties

great stones, i can feel the weight of the meaning
the bones of the earth being laid on my chest
i know, oh-oh
the meaning of life is worth more than just living
so why does it feel like it's so unforgiving

the clock is moving in a blur, i know the minute hand 
stabbed into my chest, it should hurt
but seconds keep ticking, awareness is picking up
with soft heartbeats interspersed

why do i always need a name, number and home address?
what more do they all want from me?
their library bookshelf knows more than i myself
could ever remember 'bout me

this is your first time here
(you haven't been here before)
got a whole life to fear
(what are you saying that for)
i don't wanna wait longer, help me keep myself longer
i can't stand

great stones, i can feel the weight of the meaning
the bones of the earth being laid on my chest
i know, oh-oh
i'm trying to prove that my life is worth living
so when will i feel like i'm more than existing?

great stones

this is all that you put on me
i don't want to be your hero
tell me that your heaven's calling
tell me this is where the tree grows

when am i supposed to grow it
if the world is done exploding
bring me here and say you need me
i don't want to be your hero,

now, need you now
how, can i fall down
i won't grow up and die

now, need you now
how, can i fall down
i won't grow up and die

i'm not your hero
