A hushed, a cappella journey through loss, memory, and renewal. Echoes of Yesterday layers a luminous female lead with tenor and baritone harmonies.

The Last Goodbye

"Free Like a Bird" is an emotional acoustic pop ballad that explores freedom, self-discovery, and hope. With heartfelt raspy vocals, the song unfolds over gentle acoustic guitar picking, soft cello textures, and light percussion, creating a cinematic and uplifting atmosphere.

Lyrics:

The sunset paints the sky in red
The wind is whispering where I tread
My mind recalls the days before
My heart is ready to feel once more
The city lights are far away
Just waves and silence here today

Time stands still — no fear, no pain
Something inside awakes again
I look at stars, they show my way
I know where my heart will stay

Free like a bird that flies so high
Dreams on wings that cross the sky
No fear, no borders, sea and air
It’s me and my story there
This is the moment, this is the place
To find my power, my time, my grace

I’ve walked through roads where shadows play
Searching for truth along the way
Now I’m here, no rush, no race
Just beauty filling up this space
I leave behind the weight and pain
And trust what feels so real again

Time stands still — no fear, no pain
Something inside awakes again
I look at stars, they show my way
I know where my heart will stay

Free like a bird that flies so high
Dreams on wings that cross the sky
No fear, no borders, sea and air
It’s me and my story there
This is the moment, this is the place
To find my power, my time, my grace

The waves keep crashing to the shore,
Reminding me what life is for.
I can hold on tight or trust the flow,
Let all the darkness turn to glow.
That little voice that speaks inside,
It’s my truth, my only guide.

Free like a bird that flies so high!
Dreams on wings that never die!
No fear, no limits — sea and sky!
Me and my story — it’s real this time!
This is the moment, this is the place,
To find my power, my time, my grace.
(Breathe it in, and let it go...)
Free... Today...

Free Like A Bird

“Big Time, Baby” captures the bittersweet moment when someone who once shared your world now shines under brighter lights. It’s a reflection on success, change, and the quiet ache of seeing someone trade their true self for the spotlight. Beneath the swagger and champagne lies a story of lost connection and the price of chasing dreams. With smoky vocals and anthemic energy, the song walks the line between admiration and melancholy — a reminder that growing up doesn’t always mean growing whole.

„Big Time, Baby“ fängt den bittersüßen Moment ein, wenn jemand, der einst Teil deines Lebens war, nun im grellen Rampenlicht steht. Es geht um Erfolg, Veränderung und die leise Traurigkeit darüber, dass jemand auf dem Weg nach oben ein Stück seiner Echtheit verliert. Hinter Glanz, Lächeln und großen Gesten verbirgt sich die Sehnsucht nach dem, was einmal war. Mit rauchiger Stimme und hymnischer Energie erzählt der Song von der schmalen Linie zwischen Bewunderung und Melancholie – und davon, dass Erwachsensein nicht immer Ganzsein bedeutet.

Big Time Baby

You showed up late, shades on inside
Talking like you built the east side
Told the bartender, “Put it on my name”
Like anyone here remembers the game

You used to laugh till the lights came up
Now you sip slow from a silver cup
You act like life’s one long red carpet
But who you waving at in that empty market

Big time baby, you made it, right?
Same old face under brighter lights
You got your stories, you got your style
But I ain’t seen the real you for a while

Heard you’re living somewhere by the coast
Posting sunsets, making toasts
Looks like fun, yeah, looks just fine
But your eyes still talk like they used to mine

You say, “It’s all good, I’m doing great”
But your smile’s running twenty minutes late
You keep the noise turned up too loud
Guess it helps when you miss the crowd

Big time baby, you made it, right?
Same old face under brighter lights
You got your stories, you got your style
But I ain’t seen the real you for a while

I ain’t here to call you out
Just saying, you don’t need the crown
You were golden when you were broke
Now you’re shining through the smoke

Big time baby, take a bow
You’re all grown up, look at you now
Guess the world gave you what you need
Just hope it still lets you breathe


Big Time Baby

these are songs you’ll probably never hear, and I’m not saying that as some cute thing to grab your attention, that is just a fact of the matter.

they’ll never get some big fancy premiere, or have a beautiful expensive video attached to them.  they will probably never get uploaded to a big playlist or be heard on the radio.  and honestly that’s fine, you have no reason to care about these. there's a folder on my computer though, and it’s cleverly titled “songs you will probably never hear” because I know that they'll never come out. i hate that because even though they are demos they were definitely made from a real place, and they mean something, and they make me feel good.

so that's that, I don’t care if they aren’t produced out, or commercially viable, or have a catchy hook… i'm putting them out.  I could say they weren’t written for anyone other than myself but that would be a lie, they were written for someone else. and just like you, these are songs he'll probably never hear.

Mistakes, they catch up

this edition of “songs you’ll probably never hear” is really special to me because it touches on some topics that are really close to home right now… obviously the normal heartbreak bullshit but also the struggles of growing up, pressures of life and specifically the music industry, and fragile status of the world. anyway if u do hear them maybe you'll see what i mean..

ruin it
