We all know this kind of relationship, where we actually know: It's not good for us. This relationship is toxic. And yet we stay in these relationships for longer than would be good. Do you know that? Have you ever experienced a toxic relationship and been able to get out of it? If yes - or even if no: then this is YOUR song!

Cilla says about the song: It's about this kind of toxic ex-partnership in which you stayed longer than would have been good for both of you, because neither of you were good for each other. But feelings were still there, hence the final kiss... goodbye.

Hey Boy!

This song is about forgiving ourselves and others more often. And if we have done something wrong, we should forgive ourselves and do better next time. It makes no sense to look back and regret things we can no longer change throughout our entire lives.

Illusion

A peaceful, slow classical piano piece that I wrote at a time when I wasn't doing very well and was going through a personal crisis. 

Whenever I can't manage to put my emotions into words, music helps me. Music is my form of expression and afterwards I feel better when I hear the result. 

So I wrote this piece primarily for myself. And perhaps it will also touch other people. Who knows for sure.

Keep Dancing

This song is about the fact that the path to a great performance is never easy, but it is possible. And it is also about the fact that there is no such thing as overnight success. The path I like is not always the one I end up on. But if I remain open to many different ways to reach my goal, I can achieve it.

The Way I Like It

With the energy and positivity of this track, I want to motivate everyone to rely on their intuition, search for something that matches their passion and not give up. The song has a very specific message: You can do it. Regardless of your social background, which country you come from and what qualifications you have. If you really want something, you will find a way to realise it.

You Make It

We all love nature. But do we do enough to protect what we love? The massive destruction of nature and the signs of climate crisis, everyone can see nowadays, inspired me to write this instrumental song.

Nature?

Do you know the feeling too? You're sitting somewhere with your best friend, your girlfriend or boyfriend, and it just feels nice to sit there and be silent. You don't always have to say much. Silence and enjoy. Sometimes it's a wonderful feeling, I think anyway.

Don't Speak

We live in a time of multiple crises. Even in my own life, not everything is going the way I would have wished. What helps me to process negative experiences is my music. When I don't know what to do, I compose and produce music. And with all the negativity around me, it's best to create positive, motivating and inspiring music that gives energy.Even if I am currently living life on a razor's edge – and maybe you are too – it is important to let go of everything and just enjoy and dance and celebrate life. Dancing On The Edge.

Dancing On The Edge

I don't particularly like winter. Okay, there is one exception. Ice-cold days, lots of snow, bright sun. Far north. Sweden, Norway, THAT kind of winter. But what I like even better are spring and summer and my sweet spot is somewhere between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius / 68-77 degrees Fahrenheit. 

Since I live in Northern Europe, I can't wait to be outside again with the first rays of sunshine and enjoy the sun (which, admittedly, rarely happens as a producer because I spend most of my time in a dark studio). 

This week, spring sounds to me like my new instrumental song. Link to streaming and download in my LinkTree.

Good Dreams, Bad Dreams" is a song about the beautiful, powerful dreams we carry deep inside — the ones that shape who we are and who we want to become. These 'good dreams' are the big visions for our lives that we should never let go of, no matter how distant or impossible they seem. But chasing these dreams isn't always easy. Sometimes, the fear of taking the first step, the insecurity about the unknown, or the struggles along the way turn our good dreams into bad dreams — into doubts, frustrations, and even nightmares. Many people give up before they see their first real success. This song is a reminder that even when the journey gets hard, the dream is always worth fighting for.

World Traveller is about the balancing act we all sometimes have when we move in different worlds and sometimes feel like we don’t belong anywhere.

Sunset Beach

Hey, I'm DAN. 

I'm a music composer, producer and a guitarist.

I'm producing music in various genres with a focus on pop music with shots of Rock, Rap and other genres.

On SoundCloud I show unreleased music and demos of my work - mostly instrumental pieces (because I can sing, but I don't like to sing and I don't really like my voice). 

And this matters to me a lot: 

I don't use AI platforms to compose my songs. Every song is handwritten and composed without using any of the already well-known AI music platforms. 

I believe in the power of creativity and I strongly condemn AI platforms using music to train their models that is subject to legal copyright. Stop it! You're illegally using artists' work and profiting from it through subscription fees. 

You like one of the compositions shown here and you'd like to work with me to produce your pop songs?
