Ad Infinitum

Jumping on the trampoline, reaching for the sky

"Ashes in the Rain" is a gothic post-punk song that explores the lingering traces of a lost love, haunting the protagonist like a shadow. Inspired by the melancholic and minimalist style of The Cure during the "Boys Don't Cry" era, the song blends clean and reverberated guitars, pulsing bass, and painfully restrained vocals, sometimes layered with ghostly echoes.

The lyrics navigate nostalgia, loss, and obsession. The sonic world is introspective and timeless, dominated by sensations: rain, ashes, silence, haunted sleep.

Sound effects amplify this atmosphere: distant whispers, heavy reverberations, subtle vocal modulations. The bridge loses its melody, giving way to ghostly percussion and distorted murmurs, before the final chorus returns in a kind of emotional catharsis.

"Ashes in the Rain" is both a lament and a dance frozen in memory. It touches those who love sadness set to music, with elegance and restraint.

« Ashes in the Rain » est une chanson post-punk gothique qui explore les traces persistantes d'un amour perdu, hantant le protagoniste telle une ombre. Inspirée par le style mélancolique et minimaliste de The Cure à l'époque « Boys Don't Cry », la chanson mêle guitares claires et réverbérées, basses pulsées et voix douloureusement retenue, parfois parsemée d'échos fantomatiques.

Les paroles naviguent entre nostalgie, perte et obsession. L'univers sonore est introspectif et intemporel, dominé par des sensations : pluie, cendres, silence, sommeil hanté.

Des effets sonores amplifient cette atmosphère : murmures lointains, réverbérations lourdes, subtiles modulations vocales. Le pont perd sa mélodie, laissant place à des percussions fantomatiques et des murmures distordus, avant que le refrain final ne revienne dans une sorte de catharsis émotionnelle.

« Ashes in the Rain » est à la fois une complainte et une danse figée dans la mémoire. Il touche ceux qui aiment la tristesse mise en musique, avec élégance et retenue.

„Ashes in the Rain“ ist ein Post-Punk-Gothic-Chanson, das die anhaltenden Spuren einer ewigen Liebe erforscht und dem Protagonisten ein Ombre erzählt. Inspiriert vom melancholischen und minimalistischen Stil von The Cure aus der Epoche „Boys Don't Cry“, ist der Chanson eine Mischung aus Gitarren, Klar- und Halltönen, pulsierenden Bässen und zurückhaltenden Stimmen, parfümiert durch fantasievolle Echos.

Die Parolen navigieren zwischen Nostalgie, Frechheit und Besessenheit. L'univers sonore ist introspektiv und intemporel, dominiert von Empfindungen: Pluie, Cendres, Stille, Sommeil Hanté.

Die Klangeffekte verstärken diese Atmosphäre: Lendenwirbel, laute Widerhall, subtile Modulationen und Gesang. Der Brückenkopf liegt in der Melodie, an einem ruhigen Ort mit fantasievollen Perkussionen und verzerrten Geräuschen, bevor der letzte Refrain in einer Art emotionaler Katharsis wiederbelebt wird.

„Ashes in the Rain“ ist eine Klage und ein Tanz, der im Gedächtnis ertönt. Es berührt die Tristesse der Musik, mit Eleganz und Zurückhaltung.

Ashes in the Rain

"No You and I" doesn't have a traditional 'verse/chorus/verse' song structure. Rather in the vein of songs like "Happiness is a Warm Gun" by The Beatles or "Paranoid Android" by Radiohead. It's a dreamy, Indiepop/rock vibe with elements of psychedelic and synth sprinkled in.

Lyrics:
Who will catch you when you fall?
When all those you love have betrayed you.

Who will be there by your side?
And who can you count on this time?

When there’s nothing left to fear
But the rage in your heart uncontrolled

When you know the end is near
The fire in your heart will run cold

Who knows why you cannot see?
And who knows what weighs on your mind?

Who knows why love can’t break free?
And who knows the secrets you hide?

The Secrets You Hide (Ghost Edit)

//Lyrics//

Verse:
 
Beneath the dust of silent years,
A leather heart still hums with tears.
The pages crack, they call my hand,
A glowing line through shadowed land.

The ink it burns, it pulls me close,
A map of dreams, of ghosts, of hopes.
The ink it burns, it pulls me close,
Till I, I lose control.

Chorus:

Line of light, you break, break through the dark,
A fleeting spark, to guide my lonely heart.
No road, no end, just paths to roam again,
I’ll chase that glow, that glow thats' callin' me back home.

Break: 

It hums through veins of ink and stone,
A song of stars I’ve never known.
The map is alive, it breathes my name,
Each line a fire, each line a flame.

Verse 2:

Each curve unfolds a stranger’s pain,
A whispered storm, a lover’s chain.
The atlas sings of worlds unseen,
Where broken hearts and hopes convene.

Its edges fray, yet still it speaks,
Of fleeting joys and truths we seek.
Its edges fray, yet still it speaks,
Of fleeting joys to me.

Chorus:

Line of light, you break, break through the dark,
A fleeting spark, to guide my lonely heart.
No road, no end, just paths to roam again,
I’ll chase that glow, that glow thats' callin' me back home.
