Only the Light

Only The Light

everytime we touch

all I want.

Be here now.wav

A soft hymn for those who have dared to believe.

"If We Are Wrong (The Radiant Mistake)" is not a lament—it is a celebration of loving despite uncertainty. A song for those who would choose resonance over silence, every time.

We would rather be wrong with love than right without song.

Ein Song wie eine Sommernacht – voller Fernweh, flüsternder Wälder und goldener Sterne. Inspiriert von Joseph von Eichendorffs Gedicht (1834), erzählt Sehnsucht von der stillen Kraft der Träume und dem Wunsch, einfach aufzubrechen. Zwischen Posthorn und Mondschein, Mmh Mmh Mmh Mmh – ein musikalischer Spaziergang ins Herz der Romantik.

A song like a summer night – full of longing, whispering woods, and golden stars. Inspired by the poetry of Joseph von Eichendorff (1834), Sehnsucht captures the quiet power of dreams and the urge to escape. Between distant horns and moonlit gardens, Mmh Mmh Mmh Mmh – a musical walk into the heart of romantic yearning.

Sehnsucht

Some words come too late. This song is for every heart that held back until love slipped away. Minimalist, honest, and raw—“Didn’t Say It” traces the ache of unspoken feelings and the silence that follows. The heartbreak is real, the lesson is forever: say it before it’s gone.

Didn't Say It

Nog ’n kalender word op die hoop gegooi,
Tyd draai sy arm asof dit waai en nooi.

Ver oor verlore paaie dwaal ek en jy saam,
Hand in hand, my sielsgenoot, maar ek ken nog nie jou naam.
Sirkels in die gedagtegang verlei my na die boos,
Van kinderjare en grootmensgoed, van passie en van troos.

Vergete skadu’s val nou teen die muur,
Faal figure, strek by elke uur.

Ver oor verlore paaie dwaal ek en jy saam,
Hand in hand, my sielsgenoot, maar ek ken nog nie jou naam.
Sirkels in die gedagtegang verlei my na die boos,
Van kinderjare en grootmensgoed, van passie en van troos.

Onthou jy nog die dae
Ek en jy was altyd saam,
Maar die afgelope jare
Kom ek nie meer aan jou naam.

Die son verduister, verdwyn tot ’n donker nag,
Stilte fluister, soos ’n laksman wat vir jou wag.

Ver oor verlore paaie dwaal ek en jy saam,
Hand in hand, my sielsgenoot, maar ek ken nog nie jou naam.
Sirkels in die gedagtegang verlei my na die boos,
Van kinderjare en grootmensgoed, van passie en van troos.

Ver oor verlore paaie dwaal ek en jy saam,
Hand in hand, my sielsgenoot, maar ek ken nog nie jou naam.
Sirkels in die gedagtegang verlei my na die boos,
Van kinderjare en grootmensgoed, van passie en van troos.

“Just Who You Are” is a love letter to self-worth. It’s the voice we all need in the quiet moments—the reminder that we don’t have to prove anything to be lovable. With a gentle groove and soulful delivery, Tim Cooney offers a message of unconditional acceptance, not just to a lover or a friend, but to anyone who's ever doubted their value.

Part of The Journeyman soundtrack, this song is a soft anthem of healing and a celebration of authenticity. It doesn’t shout—it uplifts. And in a noisy world, that might be the bravest thing a song can do.
