Oh...
No matter what you desire 
Remember 
Oh no matter what you desire 
Jehovah says 
Acknowledge the Lord 
In all thy ways 
And He will accomplish your ways oh.
Oh no matter what you desire 
No matter, remember one day 
You will leave them behind 
So never make these things a do or die 
Oh.. Desire the heavenly things 
Desire the things that are holy
Desire the things that are Godly 
Desire the things that are worthy 
Make sure they are worthy things 
Oh... No matter what you desire 
Jehovah says 
Make them holy things 
When you celebrate 
When you are happy 
What things do you do?
Heaven rejoice when sinners repent of their sins 
Heavens rejoice when sinners repent let not the things you celebrate push you into sin 
Temptations come along 
But so not fall 
Deliver us from evils 
And lead us not into temptation the Lord's prayer said 
Oh fix your mind on things above 
Oh no Matter what we are running after 
A day is coming that we'll leave them behind 
We're gonna look at them and they'll make no sense 
So, don't, yeah I say don't 
Don't give your life to them vanity
I say don't give your life to them vanity..
Oh Desire peace
Desire love
Desire joy
Desire righteousness 
Desire holiness 
Desire love 
Desire salvation 
Desire Godliness 
Desire every good things 
Desire mind of Christ in you
Mind of Christ in me.

Lyrics

What I could have been.
Washed out by the salty sea.
Oh, it is just a dream.
A dream that's obsolete.

What a place to be.
A place where you can go and see.
The things that you could be.
All that you could dream.

Now you'll never know.
Anywhere's the way to go.
Oh, It's all for the show.
Now you'll never know.

Washed out by the sun.
This sun is just the current one.
The bun that traps the fly.
Now you wave goodbye.

Just wasted on the sand.
Wasted in a foreign land.
Wasted like you planned.
You wasted all your hands.

Time it ticks away.
Ticks away another day.
The days they will not stay.
The days they go away.

What I couldn't see.
Washed out by the salty sea.
Reminds me of the time.
I searched but couldn't find.

A scar that fades away.
Reminders of the former days.
The days that fade away.
The days they often change.

The salty sea imbibes.
More than you would care to mind.
You're full up to your eyes.
The salty sea revives. 


Salty Sea [2024 Remaster]

Jump the Trax

The core theme of this track is “Empathy and support” that revolves around people’s desire to understand and support their closest companion who appears sad. The repeated lines "We are on the same boat" and "We are on the same ship" emphasize a sense of shared experience and a willingness to navigate challenges together.
The mood of the song is calm, chill, sad, and ethereal.

The tempo is 100 bpm which goes with piano and a soothing vocal sound. Bridge part was touched with tenor saxophone which makes a strong connection between narration and musical emotion.

By adding rich reverb effects, sound became ambient while still maintaining a usual pop sound.

We are on the same boat

This unusual track is a mix of electronic and rock.

Circle of life and dead is naturally present in our life. For me to undestand it deep is part of my spiritual path.

The Cycle Of Life And Dead

Bandcamp

A cinematic confession from the one who takes every hit so the other never has to feel it.
A high-octane love song built from broken metal, bruised ribs, and devotion disguised as danger.
“Stuntman” is reckless tenderness — a vow to be the shield, the crash, the body, the fall. Explosive, emotional, and unapologetically intense.

Stuntman

Your still funny Surya Version (Shorter)

“The Quiet Inside” is Connor Charles stripped right down to the truth — no Echo story, no neon glow, no characters or worlds.
Just real emotion, real reflections, and the kind of songwriting that only comes when you stop running from what’s inside and finally sit with it.

Written in one day during a rare, lightning-strike moment of clarity, this album captures the full spectrum of what it means to survive, rebuild, remember, and try again.
Each track holds its own story — heartbreak, hope, nostalgia, loneliness, inner strength, quiet victories — all shaped through intimate lyrics and soft, atmospheric early-2000s production.

Warm pianos, fragile pads, heartbeat-kicks and cinematic ambience wrap around vocals that feel vulnerable but steady.
No polish.
No masks.
Just honesty.

These songs don’t hide behind echoes or metaphors — they look you in the eye.
They speak the way the heart actually speaks at 3am.
They comfort the way a friend does sitting beside you in silence.

This is Connor writing from the inside out — raw, grounded, fully human.
This is the Hopefire way.


What Would You Do_

Today is calling with a crooked smile
Just 5am and I walk a crooked mile
And you there sleeping like a little child
And me here working, and the thought it drives me wild
And oh no, got to make it through the day
It ain’t forever but I got to earn my pay
The kick inside you says it’s got to be this way and so I’m

Walking on a thin line, everyday just to join the line
Walking on a thin line for you just to see this through
Walking on a thin line 5am just to make you mine
Walking on a thin line for you, hope we’ll make it through

The sun it falling as I walk these dirty streets
15 below, I can barely feel my feet
Turn the corner and she’s waiting by the wall
My heart is beating and I’m waiting for her call
And I’m home and I’m taking in your smile
Is this forever, or is it just a little while
And if we’re guilty then I’m ready for the trial and so we’re

Walking on a thin line, everyday just to join the line
Walking on a thin line for you just to see this through
Walking on a thin line 5am just to make you mine
Walking on a thin line for you, hope we’ll make it through

Now you’re here dreaming, laying in my arms
3 hearts are beating, underneath the stars
But I’m not sleeping, ‘cause I got to find a way
To pack away our fantasies, our Dreams and fly away…..
