Rachel Grae - Outsider

Optimist- Crash Adams

Imagine it’s the 1960s all over again. You step onto a bus in Mississippi, fueled by love and passion, setting off on a journey toward your destiny. The road stretches ahead, each stop along the way marking your progress across the vast plains. You take in the scenery, the shifting landscapes mirroring your rising hopes, the feeling that with every mile, you’re getting closer to something life-changing.

The distance shrinks, anticipation swells—you’ve almost arrived. Then, finally, the bus halts. Heart pounding, you gather your things, step off, ready to embrace what’s ahead... only to find yourself standing exactly where you began.

The song captures that haunting realization—the illusion of movement, the cycle of hope and disillusionment, the feeling of chasing a dream only to end up right back where you started.

-----

🔥 Echoes in Deep Blue – A slow-burning blues ballad wrapped in longing, memory, and soul.

This track flows like a whispered confession, blending weeping blues guitar, warm Hammond organ swells, and gentle, heartbeat-like percussion to capture love’s quiet resilience. Every note lingers, carrying the weight of emotions too deep for words.

✨ Feel the ache. Embrace the silence. Let the echoes stay.

🎶 Part of the Eternal Echoes collection, this song belongs to the Fade phase—where love is felt most profoundly in its quietest, most fragile state—where words dissolve, but the feeling remains.

Echoes in Deep Blue - Fade Phase of Eternal Echoes

Light shall shine

Dancing with my eyes wide shut (Him)

"Echo in the Dark"

[Verse 1]
I gave you all my midnight thoughts
Left my heart in every note
You smiled like it meant something
But I was the only one falling

Watched you dance with someone new
Like I’m a ghost just passing through
You see the world, I see just you
Guess that’s the difference in the view

[Pre-Chorus]
And I pretend I’m fine
But I rewind every sign
You never noticed me
But I memorized your eyes

[Chorus]
I’m just an echo in the dark
Calling your name, you don’t hear my heart
You're the fire, I’m the spark
Burning alone from the very start
I loved you loud, you loved me never
Still I stay, hopeless forever
Like a song with no reply
You’re the reason why I cry

[Verse 2]
Told myself to walk away
But my shadow always stays
You're the drug I can't outgrow
Even pain can feel like home

You say “we’re just friends,” I nod
But inside, I’m breaking hard
Tired of being brave and small
Tired of waiting for your fall

[Pre-Chorus]
And I pretend I’m fine
But I rewind every sign
You never saw the storm
Behind my quiet smile

[Chorus]
I’m just an echo in the dark
Calling your name, you don’t hear my heart
You're the fire, I’m the spark
Burning alone from the very start
I loved you loud, you loved me never
Still I stay, hopeless forever
Like a song with no reply
You’re the reason why I cry

[Bridge]
If love was fair, you'd feel this too
But you don’t, and that’s the truth
I write our story in the rain
A one-sided love, a beautiful pain

[Final Chorus – Soft then Powerful]
I’m just an echo in the dark
Calling your name, you don’t hear my heart
You're the fire, I’m the spark
Burning alone from the very start
I loved you loud, you loved me never
Still I stay, hopeless forever
Maybe someday you’ll know why
But tonight, I say goodbye

Echo in the Dark

The road is long, the night is deep  
You cry in silence, lose some sleep  
But stars don’t shine without the dark  
And strength is found in every scar  

You’ve failed before, but still you rise  
With fire burning in your eyes  
No one can walk your path but you  
And every step brings something new  

So hold your breath and count to ten  
You'll find your way back home again  

[Chorus]  
Have faith in you, believe it’s true  
Have faith in you, you'll make it through  
Through every storm, the sky turns blue  
Have faith in you, have faith in you  

They say you’re lost, but they don’t see  
The dream you chase so endlessly  
It’s not their fight, it’s not their race  
You move with courage, style, and grace  
 
Your voice is small but heart is loud  
Don’t need to fit into the crowd  
One quiet step, one louder shout  
You’ll break the chains of fear and doubt  
 
So trust the fire inside your soul  
You’re not half, you are the whole  

[Chorus]  
Have faith in you, believe it’s true  
Have faith in you, you'll make it through  
Through every storm, the sky turns blue  
Have faith in you, have faith in you  

You are the flame in darkest hours  
You hold the keys to all your powers  
When all feels lost and hope is few  
The world still needs the light in you  
Yes, the world still needs the light in you  

[Chorus]  
Have faith in you, believe it’s true  
Have faith in you, you'll make it through  
Through every storm, the sky turns blue  
Have faith in you, have faith in you

Have Faith in You.

Trust issues album sings the pain of love, when faith in each other disappears.

Same circle

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I’ve been walking through the fire,
Searching shadows for the light.
Every road has led me higher,
To the moment we ignite.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every heartbeat calling,
Every wall falls down.
Love is the crown,
And I’m standing now.

[Chorus]
Forever begins tonight,
Under stars, under sacred skies.
Every tear, every fight,
Led us here where the truth can’t hide.
Take my hand, hold me tight,
Our souls are burning bright.
This is love, this is life —
Forever begins tonight.

[Verse 2]
Every promise, every trial,
Every scar that made us strong.
All the silence turns to fire,
When we find where we belong.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every fear is falling,
Every doubt undone.
Two hearts as one,
Now our time has come.

[Chorus]
Forever begins tonight,
Under stars, under sacred skies.
Every tear, every fight,
Led us here where the truth can’t hide.
Take my hand, hold me tight,
Our souls are burning bright.
This is love, this is life —
Forever begins tonight.

[Bridge]
No end, no goodbye,
Just you and I.
Heaven opens wide,
Forever tonight.

[Final Chorus / Outro]
Forever begins tonight,
The fire in your eyes never dies.
Every step, side by side,
We’re eternal, beyond all time.
Take my hand, hold me tight,
Our souls are burning bright.
This is love, this is life —
Forever begins tonight.

Forever Begins Tonight
