Name: Watching From Afar by Jarle-T
Duration: 5 min 16 s
Description: Watching your children grow up from a distance is both good and bad. Those who used to come running to you with outstretched arms grow, get older and you feel like you are losing a whole life that you don't get to be a part of. It hurts a father's heart not to be able to contribute.

Candy Clouds & Sweet Dreams (REMIX)

Hate That I Love You

“Empty” is a bold, electrifying anthem about living fully and dying with nothing unused. It urges listeners to pour out their gifts, overcome fear, and fulfill their purpose before their time runs out. Poetic, urgent, and emotionally charged, the song turns mortality into motivation — and mediocrity into a warning.

Empty

A breezy, female-led uptempo Contemporary R&B groove blending the warmth of Retro Soul, the intimacy of Singer-Songwriter storytelling, and a touch of Pop Rap phrasing. At 96 BPM in A minor, Keep It Easy and Slow carries golden-hour energy—sunset streets, warm winds, and rhythms that feel like home. Every lyric moves with an easy sway, from the streetlight shimmer of Verse 1 to the late-night glow of Verse 2, tied together by a chorus that invites you to relax into the moment. Smooth yet vibrant, this track celebrates connection, presence, and the joy of letting the music guide you. Perfect for evening drives, rooftop sessions, or anywhere the night feels alive.

[LYRICS]

Sun slips low, throwin’ gold down the streets
Warm wind hums where the day and night meets
Steps keep time, let the sway fill the air
Every beat knows what stories we share

Let it roll, let it ride, keep it easy and slow
Like the tide on the sand, let the rhythm just go 
Every move, every glance, feels a little like home
In this groove, in this light, we are never alone

Shadows lean, in the glow of the night
Sweet notes fall, turnin’ cool into light
Hands draw lines that the night understands
Every heart sways to beats it commands

Let it roll, let it ride, keep it easy and slow
Like the tide on the sand, let the rhythm just go
Every move, every glance, feels a little like home
In this groove, in this light, we are never alone

No rush, no fight, just the breath that we keep
Your smile in the hush settles soft and deep
We’re here, we’re now, and the world can wait
It’s real, it’s ours, let it show and celebrate

Let it roll, let it ride, keep it easy and slow
Like the tide on the sand, let the rhythm just go
Every move, every glance, feels a little like home
In this groove, in this light, we are never alone

Keep It Easy and Slow - Uptempo Contemporary R&B with Retro Soul & Singer-Songwriter Vibe

MidNight Confessions

Temptation Calling

Cherry Baby

(Verse 1)
I was thinking ’bout the weight of life,
How the pressure cuts like a knife,
Wish I was less restless some days,
Smiling for miles in my Sunday clothes,
I miss the beaches down in France,
I love the lights of New York glow,
Guess I’m still fucked after all.

(Chorus)
Hope is a dangerous thing,
But I still want it,
Hope is a beautiful dream,
That I can’t hold on to.

Hope is a dangerous thing,
But I still crave it,
Hope is a fragile flame,
That I can’t lean on.

(Verse 2)
I try to be stronger than you,
But I never really have to,
You move so free, you move so wild,
And I keep trying, like a child.
But baby, what will happen when you leave?
Tell me, darling, what will happen to me?

(Pre-chorus)
Changing like the weather,
Oh, that’s so like us.

(Chorus)
Hope is a dangerous thing,
But I still want it,
Hope is a beautiful dream,
That I can’t hold on to.

Hope is a dangerous thing,
But I still crave it,
Hope is a fragile flame,
That I can’t lean on.

(Verse 3)
You took my sadness out of context,
When I told you that I’d had enough,
I miss the nights we used to spend,
On the sofa laughing,
Living for hours,
Back when forever felt so close.

But something changed,
These past two years.

(Chorus)
Hope is a dangerous thing,
But I still want it,
Hope is a beautiful dream,
That I can’t hold on to.

(Bridge)
I once had hope,
When you held me and let me in,
I once had hope,
When your love was still a hymn.

(Post-chorus)
Hope is dangerous,
Hope is dangerous,
Still I’m hoping,
Still I’m hoping, babe.

Hope is dangerous

Watching From Afar

A middle-aged man with experience from band playing and songwriting in the 80s and 90s, from the glory days of vinyl. Recording songs based on lyrics from the last 30–35 years of my life with its ups and downs. If someone likes something in my lyrics, they become thoughtful, happy, sad or upset. Then it works as intended. It is also nice if someone can identify themselves or others in the lyrics. A mix of happy songs with irony, mixed with strong emotions from reality. My story, only I own the right to convey.
