Smooth Classicals

lyrics:
have you ever not slept while they slept?
have you ever not ate while they ate?
do their feet get cold in the middle of the night?
do you hold them til’ it’s alright?


are you ever unsure how they feel?
are you worried you’re just helping them heal?
are you scared you’ll wake up and they’ll be gone?
you’ll kick yourself for doing something wrong


3 weeks on and i need a rest 
i sift through all i need to do but i digress
and i can distract myself with sugar nicotine and sex
but that won’t stop the questions in my head 


and when you’re with them do you still need the light on?
do they bury their head in your hair so that it’s darker in there?
and do you still share water with the plant inside your room?
does it remind you to eat at noon?


3 months on and i need a rest 
i sift through all i need to do but i digress
and i can distract myself with sugar nicotine and sex
but that won’t stop the questions in my head


an’ now when they sleep do you sleep?
n’ now when they eat do you eat?
an’ is it summer? n’ do their feet hang out from the sheets?
and are the answers to my questions at my feet?

LYRICS: 
A thousand years i've got time i've come a long way. 
A thousand years i've lost time, i've come a long way. 
A thousand years, i am life, i've come a long way. 
A thousand years, i am life, i've come a long way. 

A thousand years,  i've got time, i've come a long way. 
A thousand years , i've lost time, i've come a long way. 
A thousand years, i am life, i've come a long way. 
A thousand years, i am life, i've come a long way

My arrangement of this beautiful song by Patrick Watson. 
"The Great Escape" recorded live 24.8.11

Patrick Watson "The Great Escape" (Piano Cover)

“Still, It Echoes On” is a tender folk ballad built on acoustic guitar, soft piano, and expressive cello. It tells the story of a man whose voice and humor brightened countless mornings. A man who lifted spirits simply by speaking into a microphone. The song captures the quiet that follows his departure — a moment of realization of how much light he brought into everyday life. Yet his laughter, warmth, and presence continue to echo within those who loved and listened to him.

This track blends human songwriting with AI-assisted sound design.
All lyrics, vocal phrasing choices, and creative direction were developed by Olja Arthur.
The result is a unique artistic expression shaped by emotion, atmosphere, and storytelling. The style blend folk, ballad, singer-songwriter, a haunting, introspective ballad in the style of a timeless folk poet, delivered with a raw, gravelly voice, The song weaves a philosophical tale of youth’s fleeting dreams, lost love, and the relentless march of time, With sparse acoustic guitar, melancholic piano, and soulful cello, it evokes a deep sense of longing and bittersweet acceptance, The verses paint a vivid story of a life once vibrant, now faded, while the powerful hook—“Still, It Echoes On”—soars with raw emotion, lamenting dreams turned to ashes, Perfect for reflective moments, this track captures the universal truth of mortality with poetic grace.

Harry Styles - When I Get You

This is an absolutely smashing song by "Drive Like I Do" (aka the 1975. Smashing. I think that's the first time I've said "smashing" unironically. *shudders*. Seriously though, it's really good, and I just wish they remaster it and put it on an EP or something - you know, give it the "Lostmyhead" treatment. Because this track fucking rocks. That was an unironic "rocks" and I feel strange.

Bella's Lullaby (Twilight Soundtrack Version Official )

a song about contemplating life & the confusions of teen life
lyrics:
i'm doing just fine if anyone was wondering
i think my life has finally fell into place
i've got you by my side, for you i'd do anything
but anxiety's my best friend these days
eleven-thirty pm, my mind won't go to bed
she's thinking about all the things that she should've said
i wanna go up to space and float next to the stars
but i know i'd lose oxygen and fall apart
i'm laying down on the floor, my body won't move at all
maybe things aren't working out after all

(chorus)
i need some reassurance that everything will be alright
i'll need a little time to fall asleep tonight
i wanna be with you

are you ever afraid that you'll never be in love
that you won't end up with who you're dreaming of
i wanna be by your side, i wanna hold your hand
but this big old universe doesn't seem to understand
that you're the one that i want til we're ninety-nine
it would be the greatest pleasure to call you mine

(chorus)
i need some reassurance that everything will be alright
i'll need a little time to fall asleep tonight
i wanna be with you

i wonder where you are in the world tonight
do i occupy any space at all in your mind

loving and losing by Delaney Bailey

lyrics:
home is wrapped uncomfortably beneath  my toes 
the same four walls watch me;
get up, shower get dressed go...

sleepin’ deeper than i ever did before
drinking for the sake of drinking,  chainin’ on the floor 
i made a vow with the mirror 
this year you’re gettin’ fitter d’you hear

-

n’ the whisky inside my chest
is searchin for somethin stronger 

n’ my mind is pushing 90 n’ still 
runs a red right  in front of the camera

off licenses are open all night
n’ if it’s a chain it’s free rein 

mm’

-

started’ helpin out the hungry
found rhythm in impulses n’ fear 
i stopped drinking coffee
told myself you’d like my teeth when they’re clear
erased the number of my dealer  
sat in Leicester Square n’ longed for a beer 


-


an’ the chain around my neck
screams my mantra
as my ego ago agrees to step down
as the designated driver 
n’ three weeks into march 
i’ll be 10 months sober 
an’ I’m scared,  that i’ll throw it all away
