An introspective track from Poetry and Zouk, exploring how we drift through uncertainty while clinging to the things that ground us. Built with virtual instruments and AI assistance, it’s a digital meditation on control, surrender, and the quiet truths that surface when the noise fades. Still synthetic… but anchored in something real.

LYRICS

Silent streets, echoes of the past  
Choices made, shadows cast  
We walk the line between wrong and right  
In the grey, we find our light  

We’re drifting, but we’re anchored still  
Searching for more, yet feeling the chill  
In a world that spins, we seek control  
But it’s in the letting go, we find the soul  

Masks we wear, they fit so tight  
Truths we hide, in the fading light  
We question what we once believed  
In the answers found, we are deceived

We’re drifting, but we’re anchored still  
Searching for more, yet feeling the chill  
In a world that spins, we seek control  
But it’s in the letting go, we find the soul

Reflections on the paths we tread  
What’s said in whispers, what’s left unsaid  
In the noise, we find our voice  
In the quiet, we make our choice

We’re drifting, but we’re anchored still  
Searching for more, yet feeling the chill  
In a world that spins, we seek control  
But it’s in the letting go, we find the soul

We’re drifting, but we’re anchored still  
Searching for more, yet feeling the chill  
In a world that spins, we seek control  
But it’s in the letting go, we find the soul

A gentle song about empathy, presence, and the unspoken signals that travel between us — across rooms, across time, and sometimes across silence. Built with digital tools but grounded in something deeply human. The lyrics are a bit longer than usual, but they’re the heart of this piece — a slow-burn tribute to all the ways we connect… even when words fall away.

LYRICS

In a quiet room, I hold your hand
No need for words, I understand
A touch that speaks in ways we know
Like signals sent where words can’t go

Signals beyond the words we say
In every moment, we find a way
Through joy and loss, and times apart
Invisible threads connect the heart

In crowded rooms, across the space
We tune into a silent grace
When tears fall quiet, I feel you near
Our signals clear, through the air we steer

Signals beyond the words we say
In every moment, we find our way
Through joy and loss, and times apart
Invisible threads connect the heart

A parting touch, a soft goodbye
The unspoken truth, beneath the sky
Like wireless waves, you’re always there
We send our love through the air

Signals beyond the words we say
In every moment, we find our way
Through joy and loss, and times apart
Invisible threads connect the heart

A glance, a touch, we understand
In silence, we stand hand in hand

A parting touch, a soft goodbye
The unspoken truth, beneath the sky
Like wireless waves, you’re always there
We send our love through the air

A glance, a touch, we understand
In silence, we stand hand in hand

A parting touch, a soft goodbye
The unspoken truth, beneath the sky
Like wireless waves, you’re always there
We send our love through the air

A soft, flowing track with a subtle Zouk pulse — not front and centre, but enough to carry the sway. In the Quiet was shaped using a mix of human intention and digital tools (including AI), allowing space for the imperfections to breathe. Fewer lyrics, more room — because sometimes, it’s the gaps that do the talking.

LYRICS

Stepped through cracks, found my way
Shifting notes, words in play
In the quiet, rhythm grew
Melody formed, thoughts anew

In flaws, I see the light
In doubt, I find my flight
Dancing through the haze, we glide
In subtle steps, I find my stride

Coloured beyond lines, bent the rules
Missed a beat, embraced the tools
In the flow, something grew
Truth in tones, a softer view

In flaws, I see the light
In doubt, I find my flight
Dancing through the haze, we glide
In subtle steps, I find my stride

Dancing through the haze, we glide
In subtle steps, I find my stride

In the gaps, I start to see
Beauty in uncertainty
Pieces blend, they slowly fit
Spaces make us, bit by bit

Pieces blend, they slowly fit
Spaces make us, bit by bit

In flaws, I see the light
In doubt, I find my flight
Dancing through the haze, we glide
In subtle steps, I find my stride

In the quiet

LYRICS

Take it or leave it the choice is yours
Locked in a moment behind closed doors
A spark ignites but it burns so fast
Are we the future or stuck in the past

Take it leave it make it seal it
Hold on tight or let me feel it
A game of hearts a twisted deal
Tell me now is this for real

The clock keeps ticking the stakes are high
You pull me closer then wave goodbye
A push and pull a tug of war
What are we fighting for anymore

Take it leave it make it seal it
Hold on tight or let me feel it
A game of hearts a twisted deal
Tell me now is this for real

Caught in a maze no exit sign
Your words are riddles your touch divine
Do we surrender or raise the stakes
Love’s a gamble what move will it take

Take it leave it make it seal it
Hold on tight or let me feel it
A game of hearts a twisted deal
Tell me now is this for real

The clock keeps ticking the stakes are high
You pull me closer then wave goodbye
A push and pull a tug of war
What are we fighting for anymore

Take it leave it make it seal it
Hold on tight or let me feel it
A game of hearts a twisted deal
Tell me now is this for real

Hold on tight or let me feel it
A game of hearts a twisted deal
Tell me now is this for real

Take it Leave it (80bpm)

A poetic Zouk track at 75 BPM, “Butterfly” explores the feeling of being caught in a love that’s both alluring and destabilising. The lyrics draw on the imagery of wings, nectar, and storm winds to express the emotional turbulence of trying to break free — but always being pulled back. Soft vocals and saxophone add to the introspective and bittersweet feel of the song.

LYRICS

Wings twitch quick, I’m tangled in your net,
Every flap a map to regret I can’t forget.
Pollen on my tongue, but the taste bittersweet,
Chasin’ nectar dreams while I stumble on repeat.

Butterfly flap, I am in your trap,
Every move I make, the world collapse.
Spiral in the breeze, caught in your snap,
Butterfly flap, I am in your trap.

Your love’s a storm, my wings can't take the gale,
A gentle kiss turns into a hurricane's trail.
Flutters in my chest, chaos in my veins,
Caught in the cycle, your grip remains.

Butterfly flap, I am in your trap,
Every move I make, the world collapse.
Spiral in the breeze, caught in your snap,
Butterfly flap, I am in your trap.

Micro shifts, ripples in the air,
One wrong move, the damage everywhere.
Wings beat frantic, but the web won’t break,
Your love’s a maze, every turn a mistake.

Petals close, but I’m stuck in the bloom,
The nectar’s poison, but I crave the perfume.
Flight erratic, direction’s a myth,
Every move I make just tightens the rift.

Butterfly (75bpm)

Get Down (80 BPM)
In this track I aimed to capture the essence of the Zouk rhythm using more modern, bass-driven textures and percussive layers. AI helped with the initial outline and vocals, while heavy remixing brought it to life — chords analysed, structure reshaped, instruments added, groove refined. The Zouk feel is still there, but filtered through a darker, punchier lens.

LYRICS

Get down, down down
(Get down on the floor)
Get up, up up
(Get up from the floor)

Comin' through, it's the god
Get down on the floor, let's party
Money in the air, let's get it started
Do the shoulder lean and retarded
Get down on the floor, like what's happenin'
Toot that ass up and get clappin'
I know I'm finna blow, and it's gon' happen
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy

Get down, down down
(Get down on the floor)
Get up, up up
(Get up from the floor)

Hoppin' out the big body Benz, though
Baby girl, I'm the man, though
Got me drinkin' out the can, though
I don't think you understand, though
Wrist glistenin', it's all that
Pop a bottle, then we fall back
Got the baddies all on that
Yeah, she know where the call at

Get down, down down
(Get down on the floor)
Get up, up up
(Get up from the floor)


Get down (80bpm)

This track blends punchy percussion with a hypnotic low-end groove and sparse lyrics. At 80bpm, it rides a Kuduro-inspired rhythm filtered through a modern, bass-heavy lens.

LYRICS

Blow it up
Blow it up
Put your money where your mouth is
Tell me who your boss is
Show me where your house is
Don't be with that bullshit

Don't be with that bullshit

A smooth, bilingual Zouk track blending Spanish and English lyrics over a mellow, flowing groove. Built for dancing but easy to enjoy on a relaxed listen too. Vocals and some musical elements were generated by AI, with the structure refined through manual remixing and arrangement.

LYRICS

Hija de la vida
Déjame, déjame
Todo te lo di
No queda na’ que ver

Take your time
No rush, no fear
If you're gone
Why cry right here?

The long goodbye
Un cafecito
The long goodbye
And then te vas
The long goodbye
Mañana es otro día
Un cafecito
And then... you pass

Walking solo
Laughin' loud
My heart's still warm
But I blend with the crowd

Breathe me in
Let me go

Take your time
No rush, no fear
If you're gone
Why cry right here?

The long goodbye
Un cafecito
The long goodbye
And then te vas
The long goodbye
Still feel your ritmo
Un cafecito
And then... you pass

The long goodbye
Un cafecito
The long goodbye
And then te vas
One last sip
Then let it drift
Un cafecito
And then you pass

The long goodbye (80bpm)

A 72 bpm Zouk track with the unusual inclusion of a violin hook that adds a ‘classic’ touch to an otherwise modern and danceable track. Vocals and some musical elements were AI-generated, with the final structure and mix shaped by hand.

LYRICS

La la late night
Under neon skies
You and me
Shine in our eyes
We’re a spark
We’re a flame
We ignite
Ignite
We ignite

No words
Just the rhythm
Feel it now
Heartbeats
Like a drum
Don’t slow down

La la love
La la love

La la love
It’s all we need
La la love
It sets us free
Spin me ‘round
Don’t let it stop
La la love
We’re burning hot

La la lost in
The way we collide
Every move
It’s a trip
It’s a ride
We’re the edge
We’re the high
Let it slide
Slide

No rules
Just the heat
Take the lead
Right now
Feel the fire
Let it breathe

La la love
La la love

La la love
It’s all I need
La la love
It’s all I need
La la love
Set me free
Spin me ‘round
Don’t let it stop
La la love
I’m burning hot

La la love
It’s all I need
La la love
It’s all I need
La la love
Set me free
Spin me ‘round
Don’t let it stop
La la love
I’m burning hot

La la love (72bpm)

"It’s Complicated" is a stripped‑back acoustic track at 76bpm that can be danced to Zouk. It has intimate female vocals reflecting on love’s contradictions, balancing tenderness and melancholy in a simple, understated way. Lyrics below.

Was it the silence
Or were we too loud
That was the problem
Now I'm the lost one
In the crowd
But you know it's complicated

I guess I needed space

Was Venus and Mars
Now a galaxy
I should've known from the start
But it's always been complicated

Now it's back to silence
After a whirlwind of sound
That's the problem
It's all on me
I'm out
But you know it's complicated

I guess I needed space

Was Venus and Mars
Now a galaxy
I should've known from the start
But it's always been complicated

It's complicated (76bpm)

👋 Hi, I’m Ed — and this is where I share original music I’ve produced using a mix of digital techniques, including some AI-generated elements (especially vocals in some tracks).

My main focus is creating or remixing music for Zouk dancing, but like most producers, I love to tinker — so you’ll also find a few outliers that don’t follow the same beat.

Some of these songs are also available on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, but I particularly enjoy SoundCloud for the ability to receive comments and critiques — it really helps shape the creative process.

All of this is non-commercial. I’ve enabled downloads and sharing on most tracks so others can pull them apart, remix, or use them for non-commercial purposes — or even just to practice mixing (which I’m still learning too!).

I welcome honest feedback, suggestions, or just some relaxed listening. And hey — if it makes you smile, even if it’s a little cringe… that’s still a win. 😉
