🎶 Lyrics – "When We Were New"
by Martin Oliver Beinersdorf c2025 a.r.r.

Verse 1  
I saw you once across the street  
A fleeting glance, a heart skipped beat  
You smiled like you knew the sun  
And I stood frozen, coming undone  

Verse 2  
We talked beneath the autumn skies  
Your laugh was soft, your words were wise  
A coffee shared, a nervous grin  
The kind of start where love begins  

Chorus  
And oh, how fast the seasons flew  
From strangers into something true  
From quiet walks to dancing slow  
To places only hearts can go  
I didn’t know what love could do  
'Til I was falling into you  

Verse 3  
That first date under city lights  
You held my hand, it felt so right  
A kiss that lingered on my skin  
The world fell out, and you fell in  

Verse 4  
The night we lost the need for words  
Just breath and touch and hearts unheard  
You traced your name across my chest  
And I knew then, I’d never rest  

Bridge – Female Voice  
I loved you from that very start  
You saw the corners of my heart  
You held me close when I was scared  
You stayed, you listened, you always cared  
I never dreamed I'd find this grace  
But now I see it in your face  

Final Chorus – Duet  
And oh, how fast the seasons flew  
From strangers into something true  
From quiet walks to dancing slow  
To places only hearts can go  
We didn’t know what love could do  
'Til it became our point of view  

Outro  
So here we are, not just passing through  
You’re not a moment — you’re my truth

When We Were New

A Little Higher Ground

Wild Birds

“Fiona” is a stark and haunting acoustic ballad from The Wool-Lites, based on a true story. Told through the voice of a sheep left in silence after the world moved on.
It’s an aching portrayal of loneliness, time, and self-awareness — the sound of someone calling out just to prove they still exist.
Sparse guitars, whispered harmonies, and a raw, trembling vocal delivery make it one of the band’s most emotional pieces.
There’s no polish here, just pain — laid bare, echoing across an empty pasture. #Fiona

The battle - Worship

“Different on Purpose” is a gentle yet powerful folk-worship anthem about finding peace in who God made you to be. It’s a song for anyone who’s felt out of place — chasing approval, losing themselves in expectation, only to be found again by grace. With its earthy acoustic tones, ambient textures, and heartfelt honesty, it celebrates the beauty of living authentically, resting in God’s design rather than the world’s demands. It’s not rebellion — it’s redemption. A quiet declaration that you’re set apart on purpose.

I tried to fit where I didn’t belong
Wore a smile, but I felt so wrong
Ran through the years chasing approval
Lost myself in what looked useful

I hit the bottom more than once
Tried to fix what time had done
But You met me where I lost my way
And turned the night into a brighter day

I’m different on purpose
Set apart by grace
Don’t need the same rhythm
To run this race
You found me wandering
And called me Yours
I’m learning to rest
In a life that’s raw

I burned out on the noise and show
Religion took more than it ever sowed
But You came whispering peace again
You found me hiding deep within

Now mornings start with bread and wine
Your Word and pen and quiet time
I walk these streets with love to give
And call it purpose — because it is

I’m different on purpose
Set apart by grace
Don’t need the same rhythm
To run this race
You found me wandering
And called me Yours
I’m learning to rest
In a life that’s raw

I don’t need a title
I don’t need applause
The smallest kindness
Can shake the walls
A gentle word, a quiet grace, a song
This is the kingdom
Where I belong

I’m different on purpose
And that’s okay
You’re writing my story
In Your own way
You found me wandering
And called me Yours
Now I’m finally home
Where my heart feels more

Different on purpose
And perfectly Yours

Different on Purpose

You’ve entered the sequence.
Each track is a mirror — what you hear depends on what you bring.
Same face. Same name. Different fate.
There are no random songs here — only messages chosen for you.
If it reaches you, it was meant for you.


It's a Hard Life

A fun, reflective pop song about two people falling in love and facing their own challenges.

She Knows (He Knows)

hello this is the first scott is okay album to come out!!! it's called Turning up the Draw Distance and it's about my inability to see anything past my own stupid life :) 

thanks to me for producing it and me for writing it, and me for playing all the instruments, and me for attempting to mix and master it, and HURU and blenum for lending their voices, and brad for a clip of you talking in my room like 8 years ago, and ben for a second of you talking on a voicemail like 3 years ago, and james and sean my managers who have unwavering patience as i literally had this sitting at 99% finished for two years and didn't do nothing with it, and absolute for distributing it (shoutout lucia), and props, bonzai florists, conor, tragic sasha and a few others (sorry i forgot rn) for listening ahead of the release and giving me encouragement.... i think that's it.

i like soundcloud because it's basically free so people can listen freely BUT the gapless transitions between songs don't work because in 10 years of uploading to their site, they still don't support gapless albums and i always make my albums gapless because of the energy never dies by black eyed peas, (shout out the energy never dies by the black eyed peas) and they never sound as clean so if you have the opportunity to listen somewhere else (like apple music, youtube [when i upload the full album sometime this week], tidal, etc.), this is me suggesting you do that instead for the full listening experience

follow me on things if you want to stay updated when i release stuff i don't really post unless i'm releasing something (that can be a good thing or bad thing depending on your preferences), but i do share memes and (rarely share) musings on my IG stories sometimes. honestly, i fuck w/ letterboxd out of all social medias the most right now so that's probably the place to keep up with what i'm up to
