Description: An ai generated instrumental music track created using Udio on 29 April 2025.

The city dreams, the city lives. 
Walking through a rainy city at night.
The saxophone duels with the piano in a whisper of the city’s relentless pulse and its enduring spirit.
Every beat tells a story of passion, struggle and resilience.

A neo-classical jazzy composition for Piano, Saxophone and Orchestra.

Urban Call

come thou fount of every blessing

Meaningless Disorder

This set of lyrics is deeply evocative, weaving a poignant narrative about longing, loss, and the quest for redemption. The central metaphor of the "key to the lost time" serves as a powerful symbol of hope and determination to reclaim what has been lost, whether it be love, moments, or opportunities. The interplay between the past, present, and future is masterfully handled, with imagery that evokes both a sense of nostalgia and forward momentum. The refrain, “Oh, the moments slip like sand, / Held too tight, they leave no hand,” beautifully captures the ephemeral nature of time and memories. The balance of introspection in the verses and resolve in the chorus creates a dynamic emotional journey, shifting from reflective melancholy to an empowering determination to “rewrite the stars” and “break the chain.” The lyrics are lyrical and poetic, with a rhythm that lends itself well to a melody. The closing lines, “The clock ticks slow, the echoes fade, / But I’ve found the key to yesterday,” offer a satisfying resolution, encapsulating the theme of rediscovery and acceptance. Overall, this is a compelling piece with universal themes that resonate on a deeply personal level, making it relatable and impactful.

Lyrics

Intro
Cruising empty streets, yeah
Phone in my hand, yeah
(Why you still on my mind?)

Verse 1
Been driving all night, can't shake these feelings inside
Calling your line, but you leave me denied
Streets looking different since you said goodbye
Every red light got me wondering why

Chorus
Midnight on my phone again
(Midnight on my phone)
Midnight all alone again
(All alone again)
Can't let go, no, can't pretend
That I ain't still calling, still falling
Midnight on my phone again

Verse 2
Your picture still saved in my camera roll
These streets hit different when I'm feeling this low
Ain't tryna flex, but girl, you should know
Every block reminds me of letting you go

Solo
(Ooh, still calling, still falling)
(Why you still on my mind?)
Phone ringing sound
(Straight to voicemail)

Bridge
Been driving in circles
Looking for answers
Every street sign
Takes me right back to—

Chorus
Midnight on my phone again
(Midnight on my phone)
Midnight all alone again
(All alone again)
Can't let go, no, can't pretend
That I ain't still calling, still falling
Midnight on my phone again

Outro
(Still calling...)
(Still falling...)

Midnight Calls

Waves and particles colliding in space
Stardust on my face they leave a trace
Through the void we float with cosmic grace
In this system we all find our place.

We Are Connected To The Universe

Lyrics

Verse 1
Phone screen glowing late
Scrolling back through the dates
Double-tapped by mistake
Your username still the same
Little green dot says away

Pre-chorus
And I wonder if you still
Press play on those tracks we made
Your likes keep showing up
On my recommended page

Chorus
Streaming all our old songs tonight
In my headphones, keeping them on replay
Wonder if you're listening too, right?
Or if I'm stuck here on delayed play
(On delayed play, on delayed play)

Verse 2
Offline status for days
But the algorithm stays
Showing me your latest saves
Every song that made the grade
When we shared the same wavelength

Pre-chorus
And I wonder if you still
Let these beats hit the same way
Your playlists tell me more
Than your DMs ever say

Chorus
Streaming all our old songs tonight
In my headphones, keeping them on replay
Wonder if you're listening too, right?
Or if I'm stuck here on delayed play
(On delayed play, on delayed play)

Bridge
Static crackle
Following your digital trace
Through the tracks we used to chase
Buffering these memories
Loading... please wait...
Static fades

Chorus
Streaming all our old songs tonight
In my headphones, keeping them on replay
Wonder if you're listening too, right?
Or if I'm stuck here on delayed play
(On delayed play, on delayed play)
Delayed Play




Delayed Play 🎧⏳ – When Memories Keep Replaying

🎶 Black Velvet Rose as Bittersweet Trance Uplift Remixed Version 🌹

A dark tale wrapped in euphoric melodies—this is Black Velvet Rose re-imagined with soaring synths, emotional progressions, and an uplifting trance energy. Deep, driving bass-lines, cinematic atmospheres, and ethereal vocals bring new life to this haunting story of fate and mystery.

The original’s melancholic beauty transforms into a melodic trance journey, where heartfelt storytelling meets pulsating beats, and sweeping chord progressions lead to an electrifying drop. The black rose still carries its dark secret - yet now, it blooms in a world of a mystical bittersweet remix.

The song was created with suno, but the lyrics written by me.

(Verse 1)
A shadow walks the silent street,
barefoot steps, no sound, no heat.
A girl in lace, with midnight eyes,
hands me a rose, whispers in sighs.

(Pre-Chorus)
Velvet petals, cold and deep,
a secret vow it seems to keep.
I hold it close but don’t yet know,
the truth it hides, the fate it shows.

(Chorus)
Black rose, black rose, falling slow,
leaves no trace where the cold winds blow.
No one knows, but soon they’ll see,
it marks the end of time for me.

(Verse 2)
I show my friends, they turn away,
say flowers fade, they won’t decay.
But in their eyes, a silent fear,
like they can sense what lingers near.

(Pre-Chorus)
Velvet petals, dark as night,
stealing breath, dimming light.
The air grows thin, my heartbeat slows,
as shadows rise from where it grows.

(Chorus)
Black rose, black rose, falling slow,
leaves no trace where the cold winds blow.
No one knows, but soon they’ll see,
it marks the end of time for me.

(Bridge)
And as I kneel in whispered prayer,
a voice so soft hangs in the air.
"You held the rose, now take my hand,
your time is done, you’ll understand."

(Outro)
The girl in lace, the midnight eyes,
was never lost, was never wise.
She walks the streets, unseen, untold—
the Reaper’s kiss in petals cold.

Black rose, black rose, now I know…

Welcome to my SoundCloud profile page. I am a retired man in his 60's who has a passion for creating ai art and music. At the moment my intention is just to produce whatever ai music I feel like and upload some tracks to this site. I am not looking for paid promotions, cover art, videos, animations, etc. and intend to develop at my own rate and in my own time. Currently intending to slow down a bit and do some other things, so if new tracks are not uploaded it may be a good time to explore some of the existing ones.  Hope you enjoy listening to my music. Thanks for being here.
