A contemplative electronic piece from the EP Just Silence. “Observed” moves in the fragile space between being and memory, where sound and silence overlap. Built on minimal textures, deep atmosphere, and poetic lyrics, the track reflects on perception and what remains unheard.

Just Silence

Observed

Barbonus wrote this song about the one he never wrote.
It started as silence — a pause from creating — and turned into a melody that refused to disappear.
Recorded as a demo, “The Song I Never Wrote” isn’t about inspiration, but about the inability to escape it.

The Song I Never Wrote (Demo)

A quiet relapse in slow motion.
“Creeping Back Again” follows the return of an old ache — the one that pretends to be gone until it whispers again.

Minimal electronic textures, soft percussion, and a fragile vocal line circle around absence and memory.
Written in the same Tuscan silence that inspired The Song I Never Wrote, this track marks the moment when calm starts to crack.

Nothing dramatic, nothing loud — just the sound of something you thought had healed.

Creeping Back Again (Demo)

Written first as a poem about burning pain away, long before it had music.
The track starts in quiet electronic shadows and ends in a raw, rising flame.
A song about trying to outburn memory — and finding out it burns back.

Burning Matches (Demo)

Originally a poem from the early Barbonus years — a surreal image written long before it ever had music.
A quiet heat rising under the skin, a mind trying to break its own silence.
Minimal electronics, slow tension, and a voice pushing against a feeling that once existed only on paper.

On the Burning Stove (Demo)

A forgotten beer coaster from 1996.
A few scattered lines written after a long night in a rehearsal basement.
Decades later, the words return — quieter, clearer, finally honest.

What I Meant to Say is the conversation Barbonus never had,
rewritten from the distance of time,
where the boy he was and the man he became finally meet.

What I Meant to Say (Demo)

“Under” drifts like a whispered dream. Fragmented lines — half memory, half dissolution — flow over a minimal, atmospheric backdrop. Instead of a conventional verse-chorus form, the song unfolds in impressions: noise, breath, skin, space. It closes with the haunting line: I didn’t fall, I dissolved.

Under

Looking Down is a quiet turning-point within Fire and Distance.
Written as a poem long before the EP took shape, the song reflects on distance as perspective rather than escape. From above, pain becomes readable, memories lose their grip, and identity is no longer defined by the fall.

Minimal electronic textures, restrained rhythm, and a calm vocal delivery carry a sense of detachment that feels earned, not cold.
This is not resignation — it’s the moment after impact, when breathing becomes possible again.

Fire and Distance

Looking Down (Demo)

Still Hoping (Just a New Year’s Song) is not a holiday anthem and not a statement.
It’s a light melody carrying a quieter doubt.

It sounds like the kind of song we sing at the turn of the year — simple, familiar, almost comforting.
And maybe that’s exactly why it can hold a heavier thought underneath.

No grand answers. No fireworks.
Just the hope that enough might one day be enough — for everyone.

Released quietly on SoundCloud, where songs are still allowed to just exist.

Still Hoping (Just a New Year’s Song)

BC25 is a duo of Vela Sorell (voice) and Barbonus (lyrics & production).
Atmospheric pop fragments, whispered vocals, fragile loops, and echoes of songs that never fully disappeared.
Somewhere between electronics and intimacy — a space that only exists when everything else becomes quiet.
