He and the woman he loves are still not “there,” but they’re walking side by side – past pain, toward a shared future.

Miles to the Dream

melodic storm, guitar sound based song in brit pop style, catchy melody, 

Intro – distant echoes]
In the dark, an island rises,
you walk toward the lighthouse flame.
But the light has drowned in shadows,
[Bridge ]
it no longer calls your name.

[Verse ]
The sky is heavy, filled with stars,
they lead you where no path remains.
Branches reach like ancient fingers,
[Bridge ]
whispering leaves remember pain.

[Chorus – strong, melodic, deep voice with reverb]
Echoes of the island,
footsteps fading slow.
The further that you’re walking,
the less you seem to know.
[Mantra – repeated softly, layered voices]
All around… all around… all around…

[Bridge ]
And you believe it’s not the ending, but the silence stretches wider than the sea, wider than the night, wider than the memory of everything you tried to hold.

[Chorus – darker, heavier instruments, deep male vocal]
Echoes of the island,
nothing left to shout.
The more you try to follow,
the less you work it out.
[Bridge ]
[Mantra – whispered and echoing in background]
No way out… no way out… no way out…

[Instrumental intermezzo – guitars with reverb, dark synth layers]

[Chorus – final, layered vocals, emotional climax]
Echoes of the island,
shadows twist and drown.
Your voice returns in silence,
your body’s sinking down.
[Dual mantra – layered, call and response]
All around… [main vocal]
No way out… [echo vocal]
[Bridge ]
All around… [main vocal]
[Bridge ]
No way out… [echo vocal fading]

[Outro – slow fade, ambient, distant reverb]
No lighthouse in the silence,
no shoreline to defend.
The night repeats forever…
[Bridge ]
and still it never ends.

Sweetly Broken
