Burn The Warehouse Down

Sometimes a change of mindset is all you need.

Silver Linings

Hold in On

"Shadows Whisper" is a moody synthpop track drenched in emotional tension and spectral beauty. With pulsing electronic rhythms and glistening synth layers, the song explores the quiet collapse of identity and connection. Lyrics speak of isolation, lost love, and the haunting presence of memory—mirrored in the cold stare of a reflection that no longer feels familiar.

Ethereal melodies float through a fog of reverb and static, as ghostly whispers blur the line between self and shadow. It's a slow descent into introspection, where every scar tells a story and every silence lingers.

For fans of darkwave, retro synthpop, and emotionally-charged minimalism.

Lyrics

[Verse]
In the mirror see her stare
Eyes like a stranger trapped in there
Hands reach out but touch the void
Love once pure now destroyed

[Chorus]
Falling deeper no escape
Shadows whisper take my shape

[Verse 2]
Footsteps echo down this hall
Memories rise and then they fall
Words unspoken pierce the dark
Your absence left a deeper mark

[Chorus]
Falling deeper no escape
Shadows whisper take my shape

[Bridge]
Every scar a line of fate
Every tear still resonates
Looking inward fractured light
Chasing shadows endless night

Shadows Whisper

Written and Produced by Sarah Paradise-Brown
Not sure what genre this goes under :-/

Thought you were the one
Heart open wide
Every secret shared
You were right by my side

But the truth hit hard
When the time drew near
Picking up pieces
To what I held dear

You had me believing
Every sweet lie
Now I see the cracks
And the reasons why
I trusted too deep 
I let my guard down low   

Weight
In the water
I feel weight
The pain you’d agree
It hurts
You know its not funny
When you have to dive
10 feet down
Just to stay alive

You painted a picture
Of colours so bright
But underneath the surface
It was never right
Promises led me
In the dark of the night
Now I'm standing strong
I’ll reclaim the light

No more tears falling 
For your empty charms
I’m building my walls
Keeping up my arms
Thought you could break me
Thought I’d never know
But I’m stronger now
Watch me steal the show

I’m dusting my suit
Stepping into my power
Taking back my heart
One beat an hour
Those sweet little words 
That dripped like honey
Turned bitter and cold
Ain't that just funny?

I'm shedding the past
Like skin on a snake
No more playing blind
I'm awake for my sake
Lifting my voice
I'm ready to sing
Cleansing the doubts
So I’m ready for spring

Weight
In the water
I feel weight
The pain you’d agree
It hurts
You know its not funny
When you have to dive
10 feet down
Just to stay alive

You played your game
Thought I wouldn't see
Now I know the truth
It's clear to me
Wrapped in your words
With a ribbon around
But those threads have unraveled
They can't keep me bound

Building my dream
On a foundation of trust
Now I'm breaking free
It's become a must
Thought I was broken
But I'm learning to soar
I'm not just surviving
I'm ready for more

Ready for more

You thought I was lost
Wandering blind
But I've found my direction
Left the past behind me
In the garden of heartache
I’ve planted my seeds
Growing roots of resilience
From the pain you decreed

The pain you’d agree
It hurts
You know its not funny
When you have to dive
10 feet down
Just to stay alive

Ready for more

Y ME PARECE MENTIRA

Te veo y no lo puedo creer:

detengo mis ojos en tu cara

intentando encontrar la mirada

que ayer tanto me hizo padecer

y descubro al instante el presente

que penetra con fuerza en mi mente

destrozando tu imagen de ayer.


Te observo y no consigo entender:

creía reciente aquel verano

salpicado de amores tempranos

teniendo la luna como juez

y la llama de mis ilusiones

que forjó mis primeras canciones

en los más profundo de mi ser.


Comparo, y me parece mentira, 

la frescura que en estos recuerdos

aún perdura y la inadvertida

pero brutal distancia que el tiempo,
 
con su vuelo, ha puesto en nuestras vidas:

todavía conservo el perfume

de aquellas mañanas de estío

y el sabor amargo del desprecio

socavando el alma de un crío.


Recuerdo y soy tu esclavo otra vez:

navego en los mares de tus ojos

inundando la noche de gozo

sembrando esperanza por mi piel

pero arribo a tu puerto y zozobro

y mi gozo se torna en sollozos 

al oír que no hay nada que hacer.


Comparo, y me parece mentira,
 
la frescura que en estos recuerdos

aún perdura y la inadvertida

pero brutal distancia que el tiempo,
 
con su vuelo, ha puesto en nuestras vidas:

¿quién no guarda la risa o el llanto

de aquel primer beso de ensueño?

risa para el que apuró buen vino

llanto el que brindó con veneno.

AND IT SEEMS LIKE A LIE

I see you and I can't believe it:

I fix my eyes on your face

trying to find the gaze

that made me suffer so much yesterday

and I instantly discover the present

which penetrates my mind with force

shattering your image of yesterday.

I watch you and I can't understand:

I thought that summer was recent

spattered with early loves

having the moon as my judge

and the flame of my dreams

that forged my first songs

in the depths of my being.

I compare, and it seems like a lie,

the freshness that still lingers in these memories

and the unnoticed

but brutal distance that time,

with its flight, has placed in our lives:

I still retain the scent

of those summer mornings

and the bitter taste of contempt

undermining the soul of a child.

I remember and I am your slave again:

I sail the seas of your eyes

flooding the night with joy

sowing hope through my skin

but I arrive at your port and capsize

and my joy turns to sobs

when I hear there's nothing to be done.

I compare, and it seems untrue,

the freshness that still lingers in these memories

and the unnoticed

but brutal distance that time,

with its flight, has placed in our lives:

Who doesn't remember the laughter or the tears

of that first dreamy kiss?

Laughter for the one who drank good wine

Crying for the one who toasted with poison.

Y me parece mentira

Mastered by A7 Recording Studio

This song is for Carolyn, who suggested I write it.

These sisters hung out with us on our dock last summer. Luanne disappeared for some time and Bluanne was quite distressed, quacking constantly. (The quacks on the track are hers.) When Luanne eventually returned, she was back to her old tricks of bullying her sister.

Lyrics:

I’m Bluanne, I’m waiting for my Luanne. 
I’m Bluanne, I’m lonely for my Luanne.
 I sit on the rock by the end of the dock 
And look for Luanne.

She’s out there, swimming by a shoreline, 
Her feathers, shaded by a red pine, 
We’re sisters forever both in good and bad weather,
 Clever Luanne.

Where oh where is Luanne Luanne? Hope that she’s OK.
 I’m on a stone beside this old man here inside the bay.

She found me, while flying past the oak tree, 
She called me, quackin’ out a “Yippee”, 
She flew in like a kite and then she gave me a bite,  unpleasant Luanne.

I’m Bluanne, and now I’ve found my Luanne,
 I missed her, my mean and rotten sister, 
I hide in the reeds while she eats all the seeds, 
She knows she can.

I’m Bluanne, and now I’m with my Luanne. 
I’m Bluanne, and now I’m with my Luanne.

Scream For Your Life

Old Man

From 2016, I didn't like the hard panning on the original version so I made some tweaks

Can't Work it Out  2025

Just me, posting stuff I do in my homestudio.

Down for colabs, I mostly do guitars (but also shitty bass/ keyboard/ programmed drums if I have to).


I love mixing music, if you like my work and ever need a mix  I'd be happy to help out (not going to ask for compensation, I just love working on audio)
