Unutursun (12.7.25)

“Dream in Reverse” is a bleak, slow-burning portrait of a man pushed to the edge—unemployed, unseen, and unraveling. Every line drips with quiet despair: ghosted job apps, mounting debt, chronic illness, and the cold indifference of a world that’s moved on without him.

Driven by sparse instrumentation and cracked vocals, the track walks the line between resignation and decay.

There’s no light at the end of this tunnel—just the fading hum of an Uber engine, the scratch of a pen on bankruptcy forms, and a whisper that says, “Maybe next never.”

All our heroes are dying 
And my friends are taking pills
The way I’m denying 
The way I love you still 
And I’m crying 
Kicking doors down to let you in 

My brother got married 
And my sister settled down 
And I find it scary the way I need you around 
You say you love me 
And that’s good enough for now 

And since you know me 
Tell me why I can’t let go 
Instead you hold me 
I’m caught inside your undertow 
And we play the game 
And we always played it well 
One hell of a story and it’s my favorite one to tell 

It’s six in the morning 
And you ask if it’s alright 
If you lay beside me
If it’s only for the night 
I’m awake and dreaming 
In the glow of the light 

And since you know me 
Tell me why I can’t let go 
Instead you hold me 
I’m caught inside your undertow 
And we play the game 
And we always played it well 
One hell of a story and it’s my favorite one to tell 

All our heroes are dying 
And my friends are taking pills 
The way I’m denying 
The way I love you still

Heroes / Dying

Charlie Cunningham has emerged as a truly under-the-radar success story. He has headlined London’s iconic Queen Elizabeth Hall and has become a regular fixture in Europe’s most prestigious concert halls. Splitting his time between piano and nylon string guitar, Charlie creates melancholic yet rhythmically driven songs. When expressed with his warm voice and characteristic restraint, something timeless takes shape.

Despite his dyslexia making it near impossible for him to read music, Charlie earned a music degree and by his mid-20s worked a variety of odd jobs and wrote songs in his free time. Eventually, he moved to Seville, immersed himself in Flamenco music and focussed intensely on his guitar playing. Planning to stay for 3 months, he stayed for 3 years. Once home, Charlie found work playing in bars across London and Oxford ¬—eventually returning to songwriting. Charlie has subsequently released 2 albums and 4 eps which have garnered over half a billion streams.

Next on the horizon is his third album Frame. A collection of lush, delicate pop songs brimming with references to art rock, golden era jazz, and neo-classical composition—all the while maintaining the pared-back and clear-eyed musicality for which he is so well recognised. Throughout the album, Charlie and long-time producer, Sam Hudson Scott, create the fragility, power and tension found in timeless songwriting, reanimated through a modern lens.
