Description: A song about a person coming into ones life for a brief period of time, yet leaving a huge impact.

In a world where AI often evokes fear, it’s important to remember that it is shaped by human hands.
In the right hands, AI can be a tool for healing and self-discovery.
For me, it has been a lifeline, reconnecting me with my passion for writing and music after years of silence.
These songs are not just melodies; they are my legacy, a way to share my stories and perspectives.
Through this journey, I’ve learned to embrace my past and nurture my inner self.
My hope is that this music resonates with others who feel lost, offering a reminder that they are not alone.

Bridge To My Soul

“Nebula Nightshade” is a psychedelic electro-pop track that takes listeners on a cosmic journey through swirling synths, dynamic tempo changes, and intense vocal layering. The song’s lyrics describe a mesmerizing and almost hypnotic experience, where the protagonist is drawn into the enchanting and chaotic embrace of the Nebula Nightshade. The music builds tension with pulsing beats and soaring vocals, creating a sense of being lost in a colorful, otherworldly spiral. The chorus emphasizes the duality of the Nebula Nightshade as both a curse and a crown, pulling the protagonist deeper into its spell where gravity no longer holds sway. The track concludes with a haunting outro, leaving a lingering sense of being adrift in the vastness of space.

Nebula Nightshade

I can't do the magic.
.....Magic is a trick.
It's a little bit tricky-
tricky, tricky, tricky.
I can't do the magic.
.....Magic is a trick.
It's a little bit tricky-
tricky, tricky, tricky.

I am only human.
Being human is tricky
and I can only do the best I can.
I cannot hold the moonlight.
I can't hold the moonlight.
I know. I know.
.....I know that's right.
But it won't stop me holding you,
.....holding you
through the darkest of nights.
Holding you is what I do.
Holding you is what I do.

I can't hold the moonlight.
......I can't kiss the Sun.
......I can't live alone.
But I can do my level best
to dress you in the starry sky.
I can do my level best
to dress you in the starry sky.
And I can give your heart a home.
I can give your heart a home.

I can't do the magic.
.....Magic is a trick.
It's a little bit tricky-
tricky, tricky, tricky.
I can't do the magic.
.....Magic is a trick.
It's a little bit tricky-
tricky, tricky, tricky.

I am only human.
Being human is tricky
and I can only do the best I can.
I can't hold the moonlight.
I can't hold the moonlight.
I know. I know.
.....I know that's right.
But it won't stop me holding you,
......holding you
through the darkest of nights.
Holding you is what I do.
Holding you is what I do.

I can't hold the moonlight.
......I can't kiss the Sun.
......I can't live alone.
But I can do my level best
to dress you in the starry sky.
I can do my level best
to dress you in the starry sky.
And I can give your heart a home.

I can't live alone.
I can give your heart a home.

I can't live alone.
I can give your heart a home.

I Can't Live Alone

I CAN'T LIVE ALONE

"The Burning Bridge" is a powerful and emotive ballad that weaves a heroic narrative of sacrifice and courage. Set at a slow tempo, the song artfully blends the soulful grit of blues rock with the modern beats of trap music, creating a unique fusion that is both timeless and contemporary.

Cinematic in scope, the composition features rich orchestral arrangements that heighten the emotional impact, transporting listeners into the very heart of the story. Resonant vocals deliver the poignant lyrics with depth and sincerity, capturing the essence of heroes standing firm against overwhelming odds.

The track opens with a haunting guitar riff characteristic of blues rock, setting a melancholic tone. As the song progresses, trap-inspired percussion subtly introduces a rhythmic complexity, while sweeping strings and atmospheric synths add layers of cinematic grandeur.

"The Burning Bridge" culminates in a stirring crescendo where all musical elements unite, mirroring the climax of the heroes' journey. The resonant vocals soar over the instrumentation, leaving a lasting impression of valor and selflessness.

This ballad is more than just a song—it's an epic tale set to music, celebrating the indomitable spirit of those who dare to stand against the tide for the greater good.

You're Still Here

Lyrics by Aaron Howard

Empty halls but I feel your touch
In the silence I miss you so much
Your laughter echoes in the air
Even when you're gone you're everywhere

[Chorus]
In the night I see your glow
In the wind I hear you blow
No matter where you are so far
You live forever in my heart

[Verse 2]
Your memory's a sacred flame
A whisper calling out my name
Though the distance keeps us apart
You're still here with me in my heart

[Chorus]
In the night I see your glow
In the wind I hear you blow
No matter where you are so far
You live forever in my heart

[Bridge]
Shadows fade but you remain
In every joy in every pain
Our bond's unbroken it's divine
In this space our souls entwine

[Chorus]
In the night I see your glow
In the wind I hear you blow
No matter where you are so far
You live forever in my heart

You're Still Here

One and Only

Great thanks to my friend and fellow artist Rizzi Myers and my producer Brandon, this song came at a time of a fresh new season of beginnings and transitions, living and chasing my dreams as an artist.  We were made for so much more!

I like experimenting with sounds. Most of my songs are going to be #melancholic and influenced by #rnb, #rock, #pop, #edm, #blues, #electronic and #trap. I often blend genres into #fusion. I like to incorporate #romantic, #dark and #cosmic themes into my songs. But I plan to experiment with more themes and genres in the future.
I am currently a university student so my uploads might be somewhat irregular, but feel free to follow if you like my work!
