(Verse)
Golden sand stuck to my skin
You laugh louder than the waves crashing in
I trace the freckles on your shoulder
But every day
The nights get colder

(Chorus)
I love you
Summer boy
Will you still be here when summer is over
When the leaves fall
Will you stay closer
I love you
Summer boy

(Verse 2)
The ice cream melts faster than we can eat
Your hand in mine
We walk these quiet streets
You tell me stories like they’re secrets to keep
But will you still whisper when the world falls asleep

(Chorus)
I love you
Summer boy
Will you still be here when summer is over
When the sky turns gray
Will you pull me closer
I love you
Summer boy

(Bridge)
Seasons change
But hearts can freeze
Promises hang like leaves in the trees
Will you be the sun in my winter’s chill
Or just a shadow
A maybe
A thrill

(Chorus)
I love you
Summer boy
Will you still be here when summer is over
When the warm fades
Will you stay or wander
I love you
Summer boy

Summer Boy

Lyrics:

I found a map in the stars tonight
But it led me nowhere
Just dim light
Every road was you
Every turn was blind

Do I follow the pull
Do I stand still
You’re the only gravity I feel

Lost in your eyes
No need to be found
World fades away
No up no down
Lost in your eyes
It’s where I’ll stay
No path
No plan
Just drift away

Your gaze
A maze
No end in sight
A riddle wrapped in velvet twilight
No escape
But I don’t even fight

Lost in your eyes
No need to be found
World fades away
No up no down
Lost in your eyes
It’s where I’ll stay
No path
No plan
Just drift away

Every blink’s a door I’ll never open
Every tear’s a word you’ve left unspoken
I’d stay forever in this ocean

Lost in Your Eyes

A haunting acoustic journey through the darkness of memory and regret. "Midnight Memories" strips everything down to its emotional core with dark solo acoustic guitar and subtle vocals that draw listeners into an intimate late-night confession. The song explores how darkness awakens painful memories from the past, painting vivid imagery of shadows stretching long and secrets whispered soft and low. With intricate guitar work providing the only musical backdrop, this slow-tempo piece captures the cyclical nature of memories that fade with dawn but return each night to hide deep within. Raw, minimalist, and deeply personal.

Midnight Memories

A Softer Kind of Love

Down in the Pines

Die, Die and Die Again

On the Porch isn’t just a record, it’s a conversation. It’s the sound of old souls and weathered hands, of stories told long after midnight under a sky full of stars. It’s music played on borrowed instruments, with creaking floorboards for percussion and a rusted steel guitar crying in the background. It’s imperfect on purpose, because so is life.

This album is about the roads that shaped us, the ones we chose and the ones that chose us. It’s about scars that never quite fade and memories that refuse to leave. It’s about love that breaks us and saves us, wars fought far from home and battles fought deep within, about grief we carry and grace we try to find along the way.

This isn’t a polished studio album meant for neon lights and perfect mixes. It’s the sound of boots on a wooden porch, of a low, raspy voice telling the truth because there’s no reason to lie anymore. It’s a celebration of the beauty in imperfection and a reminder that some of life’s greatest songs are the ones played simply, honestly, and without apology.

So pull up a chair. Pour something strong. And sit with us a while because every note, every word, and every story here was meant to be shared on the porch.

Piper in the Distance

In a Minor Key

This dark pop ballad explores the raw, imperfect nature of love—not as romance or perfection, but as a quiet act of endurance. The lyrics trace the emotional terrain of forgiveness, patience, and vulnerability, revealing how love survives through silence, bruises, and the courage to stay. With whispered confessions and cinematic restraint, the song moves through intimate verses, fragile choruses, and a haunting instrumental section that breathes like memory. It’s a portrait of love as a slow, painful, and beautiful process of learning to breathe again.

Lyrics – Learning to Breathe Again

Intro  
soft breath, the room folds in on me  
clock ticks sideways, the light leans in  
you trace the edge where silence lives  
I breathe slow, pretending to begin

Verse 1  
you hold my jacket like a borrowed shield  
your smile folds secrets we refuse to yield  
we count the cracks and tape them with our hands  
we map the quiet places where the night expands

Pre Chorus 1  
I catalog the pauses and the small lies  
soft mercy whispers where the gentle truth dies  
forgiveness tastes like someone else’s name  
I practice saying sorry when I’m to blame

Chorus 1  
love isn’t sunlight perfectly framed and hung  
it’s bruised and patient, learning how to breathe and run  
it’s faith that holds when laughter turns to steam  
it’s staying through the ache, it’s keeping the dream

Verse 2  
you laugh and the ceiling forgets the rain  
for a minute we are whole, unmarked by pain  
the tide pulls secrets till they show our hands  
we fold the truth until it barely stands

Interlude  
thin light through curtains, half a song above  
we hum the missing lines like they might be enough  
the room inhales slowly, keeps our small deceit  
we breathe the empty spaces where our halves meet

Verse 3  
you say forever in a voice that almost breaks  
I keep a list of promises and the mistakes  
I count the tiny mercies nobody sees  
your hand on my low ribs when the storm agrees

Pre Chorus 2  
every small forgiveness feels like brave repair  
we learn the tender language of the dare  
we stitch the nightly fractures into seams  
we barter fear for faith and borrowed dreams

Chorus 2  
love is not a picture kept inside a frame  
it’s the bruise that breathes and whispers out your name  
it’s patient, faithful, gentle when it hurts  
it’s leaning toward the wound and keeping it from worse

Verse 4  
midnight confessions clog the sink with doubt  
we polish off the empty places, wipe them out  
you press your head into the hollow of my chest  
we practice being strangers learning how to rest

Bridge  
sometimes love is a punch that lands beneath the ribs  
it knocks the air and leaves a bruise that keeps  
sometimes grace arrives as small, cheap light  
a quiet hand that stays to learn the night

Instrumental Section  
hmmm, a long breath held and then released  
ahhh, wordless shapes that learn to intercede  
mmmh, a pulsing quiet grown to full air  
huhh, the chest remembers how to care

Reprise Pre Chorus  
count the pauses, how the small things lie  
count the mercy that we both deny  
count the tiny sorries folded in the night  
count the courage that keeps choosing right

Chorus Reprise  
love is not a picture, not a perfect frame  
it’s the bruise that learns to breathe and speak your name  
it’s patience, faith, forgiveness when we break  
it’s staying when the harmless pieces shake

Interlude Reprise  
we hum the missing lines until they fit  
we draw the cracked edges with a softer wit  
we fold the light around the places torn  
we hum until the shape is newly born

Outro  
soft breath, the room folds out into the night  
your shadow learns the fragile edges of light  
we hold the hush between the heart and skin  
we let the small forgiveness live within

Learning to Breathe Again

Elysium is a spiritual, cinematic folk ballad by Luminor, blending lush, intimate instrumentation — finger-picked guitar, banjo, cello, and upright bass — with a reflective and redemptive vocal style. The song explores themes of love, loss, and the enduring journey toward peace. Written in F♯ minor, the track builds through natural, organic textures, capturing the haunting beauty of life’s quiet yet powerful connections.

There’s a light that waits beyond the grief,
Where the air still hums with what we leave.
I’ve tried to name it, I’ve tried to stay,
But love won’t fade, it just changes shape.

Elysium — I hear your song,
Through the silence, I belong.
If the heart must break to find what’s true,
Then let it break — I’ll follow you.

In the dark, I saw your face,
A quiet fire the night can’t chase.
You said no truth is ever gone,
It just becomes what carries on.


All that I’ve lost, I give to the flame,
All that I’ve found, I whisper your name.
If heaven’s not above but through,
Then every breath is proof of you.

Elysium — where shadows fall,
I’ve seen the light behind it all.
If love survives the passing through,
Then I am home — because of you.

Elysium

She's resplendent, so confident...
La Seine, La Seine, La Seine
I realize, I'm hypnotized...
La Seine, La Seine, La Seine
​
I hear the moon singing a tune...
La Seine, La Seine, La Seine
Is she divine, Is it the wine...
La Seine, La Seine, La Seine

I don't know, don't know, so don't ask me why
That's how we are, La Seine and I...
I don't know, don't know, so don't ask me why...
That's how we are, La Seine and I...

I feel alive when I'm beside...
La Seine, La Seine, La Seine
From this angle like an angel...
La Seine, La Seine, La Seine
​
I don't know, don't know, so don't ask me why
That's how we are, La Seine and I...
I don't know, don't know, so don't ask me why
That's how we are, La Seine and I...

Upon the bridge..
My heart does beat..
Between the waves..
We will be saved..
The air we breathe
Can you believe...?
Learn to forgive upon the bridge

That's how we are, La Seine and I...
That's how we are, La Seine and I...
That's how we are, La Seine and I...
That's how we are, La Seine and I...
