First Move

Fade to Gold is that final act of strength — where sorrow becomes soul, and heartbreak becomes heat. With jazzy brass stabs, vintage textures, upright bass and smoky vocals, it channels Amy Winehouse energy into a redemption story. This is the black that glows. This is how we rise.



Fade to Gold

Cigarette smoke

Scarlet Letters on My Soul is a slow-burning soul confessional — a whispered reckoning of love marked by guilt, longing, and irreversible touch.

Over brushed drums, velvety Rhodes, upright bass and torchlike vocals, the song unfolds like a prayer too bruised to be answered. Jazz-blues guitar and organ breathe through the verses, while punchy horns lift the chorus into emotional clarity. A vibraphone bridge slows time before the final descent into silence and surrender.


Scarlet Letters on My Soul
---

(Verse 1)
I wear no chains, but I feel the weight
Of every glance that came too late
You touched me once and marked me deep
With vows too wild for me to keep

My skin is clean, but still I burn
Each step away is one return
Your name is carved in chapel stone
But it’s my heart that bears the tone


---

(Pre-Chorus)
I tried to pray, I tried to hide
But grace won’t wash what’s seared inside


---

(Chorus)
These scarlet letters on my soul
Ink that time can’t make whole
Branded by a holy fire
Lit by hunger, lit by choir
No absolution, no control
Just scarlet letters on my soul


---

(Verse 2)
I kissed your mouth in sacred dark
Each touch a sin, each sin a spark
I swore I’d walk the narrow way
But love like this can’t learn to stay

You left with guilt and left me bare
The cross was light, but not the stare
Of all the truths I’ll never speak
It’s yours that makes my silence weak


---

(Pre-Chorus)
I closed the door, I wore the veil
But you still haunt beneath the hail


---

(Chorus)
These scarlet letters on my soul
Whispers carved in burning gold
I never asked to wear your flame
But now it flickers with my name
No absolution, no parole
Just scarlet letters on my soul


---

(Bridge)
If love is wrong, then so am I
But saints have sinned with softer lies
And if you’d knock, I’d let you in
To write your name on me again


---

(Final Chorus – stripped down)
These scarlet letters, deep and red
They live in everything I’ve said
No priest can cleanse, no law console
Just scarlet letters
on
my
soul.

Scarlet Letters on My Soul

“Didn’t Know I Was Lonely” is a smooth, groove-centered anthem about discovering love’s true depth after years of emotional detachment. The song rides a mellow funk-soul beat with falsetto vocals full of gratitude and revelation. Subtle trap snares and lush saxophone runs frame the shift from surface charm to real connection. It’s not just a love song—it’s a moment of growth, of unmasking. Perfect for anyone who’s ever mistaken independence for fulfillment… until real love showed up.

Didn’t Know I Was Lonely

This is a lil sum I cooked up about my current feelings -- a musical diary entry, if you will. Let me know what you think it should be titled! Also it's missing some elements like bass so I'm gonna work on it and come back but here's an amuse oreille in the meantime ;)

5/23 [demo]

"Still Made of Light" is a poetic, emotionally introspective ballad about finding strength through vulnerability. The narrator reflects on pain, growth, and healing—not by hardening, but by remaining soft, open, and true. Wounds are not hidden but embraced as part of their transformation, showing that resilience can exist without rage or bitterness. Through rich imagery and graceful melodies, the song reveals that real power lies in staying tender, glowing quietly even after the fall.

Still Made of Light

Unu sola bato
 
Verso 1
Infano ploras ie en la mondo
Tio estas mi, tio estas vi
Sub la sama ĉielo, doloro profunde
Kiam la homa koro perdas la fidon

Antaŭ-ritornelo
Sed se ni etendas manon, sen timo, sen flago
Ni vidos ke espero ne vivas nur en parolo

Ĥoro
Unu sola bato
Por milionoj da animoj
Unu sola ĵuro
Ne plu levi armilojn
Ami sen kondiĉo
Kiel evidenteco
Paco estas la kialo
De nia ekzistado

Verso 2
Muroj falas kun la vento
Malnovaj malamoj jam ne havas sezonon
Kiam ni elektas ami vere, libere
Ni malarmas la koro(j)n, rompas la prizonon

Antaŭ-ritornelo
Rideto donita valoras pli ol oro
Sincera pardono estas vera trezoro

Ĥoro
Unu sola bato
Por milionoj da animoj
Unu sola ĵuro
Ne plu levi armilojn
Ami sen kondiĉo
Kiel evidenteco
Paco estas la kialo
De nia ekzistado

Ponteto
Ĝi ne estas revo, nek iluzio
Estas longa vojo kun horizonto
Kaj en niaj manoj, mondo por formi
Sen timo ami

Lasta ĥoro (milde, poste kreskanta)
Unu sola bato
Por milionoj da animoj
Unu sola ĵuro
Ne plu levi armilojn
Ami sen kondiĉo
Kiel evidenteco
Paco estas la kialo...
De nia ekzistado


Unu sola bato

This song was inspired by someone I know who lost her soulmate. From time to time, I read her posts, and the depth of love she expresses for him is unlike anything I've encountered before. Typically, expressions of heartbreak are filled with sorrow and repetition, but her words delve profoundly into her emotions. Her reflections compelled me to capture the essence of their love and the pain she endures.

While I can't change her circumstances, I aimed to offer a moment of remembrance through this song. Utilising AI and my own consciousness, I sought to encapsulate the enduring love she holds for him, whether he's beside her in body or exists in the ether. True love is eternal, and witnessing such devotion makes one reflect on their own experiences. It prompts the question: how would someone write about you in a song? This is my attempt to honour that profound connection.

I Will Always Love You
