Save Your Excuses

hear the silence, hear the sound,
Echoes spinning all around,
Hold my breath, the moments freeze,
Wrapped in warmth, just you and me.

[Chorus]
When we're lost beneath the stars,
Will you guide me through the scars?

[Verse 3]
Through the dusk, where shadows play,
Every whisper leads the way,
In your gaze, I find my light,
Together we ignite the night.

[Chorus]
When we float on this sweet breeze,
Will you promise me with ease?
In the stillness, hearts collide,
We'll embrace this cosmic ride.

As we wander through the dreams,
Catching glimpses of what seems,
Every heartbeat, every sigh,
In this moment, we can fly.

[Chorus]
When we're dancing on the shore,
Can you give me even more?
In the twilight, feel the spark,
Guide my way through light and dark.
 
In the morning's gentle hue,
Every sunrise feels brand new,
As we chase the dawn's embrace,
In your eyes, I've found my place.

[Chorus]
When we step into the day,
Can you promise me you'll stay?
Through the laughter and the cries,
We'll find magic in the skies.
 
In the whispers of the wind,\
Every promise held within,\
As we wander through the dawn,\
With your hand, I will be drawn.\
\
[Bridge]\
Through the storms and through the rain,\
Every joy and every pain,\
In your heart, I find my home,\
With you, I'll never roam alone.\
\

In the twilight, shadows play,
Every heartbeat guides the way,
With your laughter, colors bloom,
In this dance, we'll chase the moon.

[Chorus]
When we're lost in the gentle sway,
Will you promise me to stay?
Through the echoes, hand in hand,
Together, we'll make our stand.
 
As we wander through the night,
Every star, a guiding light,
In the silence, dreams will weave,
Magic moments, we believe.

[Chorus]
When we dance under the skies,
Can you see the love in our eyes?
In the stillness, hearts embrace,
We'll leave behind our dreams of grace.
 
In the stillness of the dawn,
Every breath feels like a song,
We’ll explore the paths untried,
With your hand, I feel alive.

[Chorus]
When the world begins to wake,
Can you promise me, no quake?
Through the beauty, through the light,
Together we’ll embrace the height.

In the morning's gentle hue

Briefly Looking Back as I drive Away

chicago memories

🖤 The Miracle Syndicate — “Room Without a Mirror” 

Woke at four,
shoes still by the door.
One light flickers,
floorboards warped and sore.

Numb from skin to sound,
clock has no more hands.
Staring at the ceiling cracks,
I still don’t understand.

Call me — dare you.
Feed the thought, undo me.
Fall through — dare you.
One breath away from losing.

This is a room without a mirror,
no one to face, no one to fear.
Days fold over, thin as air.
I speak, but no one’s there.

Three missed calls,
numbers I don’t save.
Voice notes haunt
the space I crave.

Can’t read my own reflections,
shades drawn tight.
My voice a slow infection,
folding out of sight.

Call me — dare you.
Feed the thought, undo me.
Fall through — dare you.
One breath away from losing.

This is a room without a mirror,
no one to face, no one to fear.
Days fold over, thin as air.
I speak, but no one’s there.

Every word’s a wire,
pulled too thin.
Every look’s a fire
I won’t let in.

Room without a mirror,
face without a name.
Lie here in the static,
feed the frame.

Room Without A Mirror

an edit and slight remaster, trying to familiarize myself more with peak limiters and clippers so i'm not relying solely on Ozone for such things. Shelley says the song is essentially about rumours and madness. original can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/david-attic/birds-1?in=david-attic/sets/the-sisters-sournois&si=2689976fc5714f779c4f5161f128d13d&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

Boogie in the Dark (with you)

love the dark, sad, experimental and hazy side of things, hypnotic loops and damaged sounds. massive horror geek. not without a sense of humour. partner in crime with Shelley and Loren.

if you're questioning why or how i'm able to upload on a frequent basis, simply put - i have A LOT of time on my hands at this point in my existence, a wealth of music/sounds to draw upon, and a decent collection of software to make things (e.g. both the synth and fx arturia vst collections). i'm not just auto-generating ai pieces ad nauseum, at the same time i have nothing against using ai in the creative process, but not as an outright replacement for creation. i really think the witch hunt over it all is a bit ridiculous, fueled by the greed pig corporate media companies mostly. 

one thing i've learned about making at least a little bit of money from streaming my music beyond measley penny scraps, i have to upload frequently and i've been experimenting with reuploading/reposting my tracks for better play counts (for now), if even it only results in cutting costs.
