wasn't even trying to get you

Over My Head

"Pax Resonans" – a powerful anthem for peace forged at the crossroads of celestial choral grandeur and subterranean bass might. Born from a personal call to create something truly original, this track channels my vision of unity: a haunting male vocal intro leads into an awe‑inspiring multi‑voice choir, only to be met head‑on by the arrival of a deep, wobble‑driven drop. It’s an invitation you can’t ignore - a sonic declaration that even the heaviest bass can carry a message of hope.

I was challenged to write “a song for peace” and I answered by fusing sacred vocal traditions with modern post-dubstep sound design. The choir’s ethereal harmonies evoke reverence and collective spirit, then the wobble bass crashes in like a beacon, urging you to stand up, listen, and resonate with its call. Every swell and sub‑drop is crafted to stir the soul and rally hearts toward harmony.

🔊 Why you’ll feel it:

Choral Majesty: Long, soaring harmonies that stir a sense of awe

Human Touch: A lone male vocal that bridges intimacy and scale

Bass Impact: Deep LFO-modulated wobble and stuttering sub-drops that hit you in the chest

Ambience & Space: Sparse, reverb-laden drums and airy pads that give everything room to breathe

Dive into Pax Resonans - let the choir uplift you, let the bass move you, and let the message of peace resonate through every beat.

PLAY IT SAFE

WE BOTH KNOW

They say I burn too fast to ever last— Keep my suitcase packed and my heart in the past.
But I’m done with hollow nights and neon truths— I want a slow dance kind of truth.
Had lovers who left like a jukebox song— Good while it played, then it all felt wrong.
Tired of lips that taste like lies— I need real. No alibis.
I’m not chasin’ fire just to feel the burn— This time, I want the love that learns…
I just wanna love somebody like that— Who don’t walk out when the lights go black.
Not a good-time high or a one-night fix, But a front-porch life and a kiss that sticks.
Someone real with no disguise… Who looks at me and sees the guy
They’d write a song about and never take back— I just wanna love somebody like that.
I ain’t the same boy I used to be— Ran from love ‘til love ran from me.
Now I know what I’ve been missin’— Not a thrill… but someone listenin’.
She ain’t gold chains or big city dreams— She’s barefoot truth in faded jeans…
I just wanna love somebody like that— Who don’t walk out when the lights go black.
Not a good-time high or a one-night fix, But a front-porch life and a kiss that sticks.
Someone real with no disguise… Who looks at me and sees the guy
They’d write a song about and never take back— I just wanna love somebody like that.
Not perfect, not polished… but we fit tight— Like hands held in the middle of the night.
And when she says my name that way… I know I’m finally here to stay.
I just wanna love somebody like that— Who don’t walk out when the lights go black.
Not a good-time high or a one-night fix, But a front-porch life and a kiss that sticks.
Someone real with no disguise… Who looks at me and sees the guy
They’d write a song about and never take back— I just wanna love somebody like that.

I’m about to drown

“Teach Me (And I Will Be Still)” is a modern rock testimony inspired by Job 6:24 — “Teach me, and I will be silent; show me where I have been wrong.”
It’s a cry from the noise of today’s world — from scrolling headlines and shallow praise — toward the stillness found only in God’s truth.

The song speaks to the restless heart of our time: chasing approval, living through filters, building worth on what won’t last. It’s about surrendering pride, rediscovering grace, and learning to be quiet enough to hear the whisper of wisdom again.

Job 6:24 – “Teach me, and I will be silent; show me where I have been wrong.”

Ecclesiastes 1:2–3 – “Meaningless! Everything is meaningless. What do people gain from all their labors under the sun?”

Proverbs 2:6–7 – “For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.”

Psalm 46:10 – “Be still, and know that I am God.”

Ephesians 2:8–9 – “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith... it is the gift of God.”
