"I See You" is a heartfelt folk ballad that speaks to the silent struggles we all face in life. This song emerged from a simple yet powerful idea: sometimes the greatest gift we can offer someone is to truly acknowledge their pain and stand beside them through it.

Through gentle acoustic fingerpicking and soulful male vocals, the lyrics follow the perspective of a friend who observes someone battling their inner demons. While many might pass by without noticing, this friend sees the daily courage it takes just to face the world. The authentic folk melody carries the emotional weight of recognition - "I see your silent struggle, each day, each morning."

The song builds gradually, with the acoustic arrangement allowing space for the raw emotion in the vocals to shine through. There's an intentional simplicity to the production that mirrors the straightforward message: you are seen, you are heard, and you are never truly alone.

"I See You" reminds us that in our most isolated moments, genuine connection can be life-changing. It celebrates the quiet resilience of the human spirit and the healing power of being truly witnessed in our struggles.

"Je Te Vois" est une ballade folk sincère qui parle des luttes silencieuses que nous affrontons tous dans la vie. Cette chanson est née d'une idée simple mais puissante : parfois, le plus grand cadeau que nous puissions offrir à quelqu'un est de vraiment reconnaître sa douleur et de rester à ses côtés.

À travers un délicat jeu de doigts à la guitare acoustique et des voix masculines pleines d'âme, les paroles suivent la perspective d'un ami qui observe quelqu'un luttant contre ses démons intérieurs. Alors que beaucoup passeraient sans remarquer, cet ami voit le courage quotidien qu'il faut simplement pour affronter le monde. La mélodie folk authentique porte le poids émotionnel de cette reconnaissance - "Je vois ta lutte silencieuse, chaque jour, chaque matin."

La chanson se construit progressivement, l'arrangement acoustique laissant place à l'émotion brute des voix. Il y a une simplicité intentionnelle dans la production qui reflète le message direct : tu es vu, tu es entendu, et tu n'es jamais vraiment seul.

"Je Te Vois" nous rappelle que dans nos moments les plus isolés, une connexion authentique peut changer une vie. Elle célèbre la résilience tranquille de l'esprit humain et le pouvoir guérisseur d'être véritablement témoin de nos luttes.

One day you blink an eye and the
Whole world is paralyzed and we
All stop to staralyze as we
Slow fade to normalize and we
Make up a paradise in our
Own way at least we try but we
wake up to realize that we
Mask up to go outside

And we ask ourselves
how long can we endure these times

Today I pray that we're stronger
And have the will to go longer
And live each day for the moment
and as we love may we show it
Even in these times

There's a fear of the great unknown anna
Fear of being alone so we
Must try to understand that we
Can't do it on our own It's a
Cliche I know they say there's a
Reason for everything now uh
God showed us how to love and the
Rest doesn't matter much

And we ask ourselves
how long can we endure these times

Today I pray that we're stronger
And have the will to go longer
And live each day for the moment
and as we love may we show it
Even in these times
ooooo ooooh
Even in these times
ooooo ooooh
Even in these times
ooooo ooooh
Even in these times

These Times

Running to the Light

"When the World Gets Loud" is a quiet, thoughtful acoustic ballad rooted in the same heartbeat as Mike Baker’s blog post, “When the World Gets Louder, Get Kinder.” Written in a fingerpicked, singer-songwriter style, the song was born out of a growing tension Mike felt — the volume of the world rising, the noise getting sharper, and the emotional cost of it all. Rather than raising his own voice to match it, this song became his way of answering it with grace.

It’s about choosing gentleness even when it’s hard, speaking softly when the world shouts, and standing your ground not with volume, but with quiet conviction. The lyrics reflect that spirit of calm defiance — the idea that kindness isn’t weakness, it’s courage. Just like the blog, this track is a reminder that when the chaos swells, there's strength in stepping back, listening, and leaning into empathy.

This is a song for long drives, porch sits, and soul-deep exhales. A song to remind yourself: you don’t have to get louder. You just have to get kinder.


When the World Gets Loud

I'm Theo Cenere, a folk singer-songwriter.

I write songs about memory, silence, rust, and all the things we carry but never say out loud. My music is simple, stripped down — mostly just voice and guitar — because that’s how it feels most honest to me.

Rust is my first album. I recorded it in quiet rooms, during long nights, and it’s full of little truths.
