Heartless Places

Heartless Places (feat. Nina Persson)

We’re often told to forgive and forget, but is that first part really necessary? Why can’t we just move on?

All sounds were produced using hardware synthesizers — no softsynths or samples or God forbid, AI.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO FORGIVE
©2025 Brian Hazard (ASCAP)

You carry a heavy weight
Like a bag of stones
When fate throws a rock your way
Well then, in it goes
Weighing you down

Each stone is a scar you bear
From when you were wronged
A symbol of stale despair
You’ve held for too long
Dragging you down

You don’t have to forgive to let go
The sky is so blue
As far as the eye can see
Get what you deserve
You don’t have to relive every low
Surrender the past
See what the future brings

The burden is yours to keep
Or to throw away
To finally know real peace
Will it be today?
Lifting you up

You Don't Have to Forgive

Every screen in every scrapyards started to show the same message... more than an advice

“The Rehearsal” is about compulsively practicing conversations in your head—what you’ll say, how you’ll say it, and replaying it until it all feels just right, even if you end up never saying a word.

THE REHEARSAL
©2025 Brian Hazard (ASCAP)

I deal in daydreams
I traffic in text
Endless predictions of
What you’ll say next

I pick my battles
And I take my licks
At the rehearsal
I rewrite the script

There’s something I have to get off my chest
But I don’t know how to say it best

Tape decks chew on old cassettes
Restless pacing wears the floorboards
Grasp at smoke and call it home
Shape my thoughts like molten chrome

Stories aching to be told
Every silence must be broken
But I bottled the eclipse
From my umbra to your lips

It’s a compulsion
A cognitive trap
At the rehearsal
I polish my act

I’m the sole architect of each pause
I preach my gospel to empty halls

Why not let the words find their own flow?
I can make it all up as I go

Improvisation
Is the skillful way
Trust when the time comes
I’ll know what to say

Let go of scenes
That may never exist
Live in the moment
And welcome the risk

BTTR (Phil Gonzo Remix)

Lost

Telecompn[今夜] is the latest single from Gridluster and Johnatron, blending ethereal textures with a futuristic pulse. With haunting synth pads, glitchy digital artifacts, and a steady, hypnotic rhythm, this track transports you into a neon-lit late-night dream. Lyrics (where present) drift between clarity and abstraction, leaving space for reflection. Imbued with elements of ambient, chillwave, IDM, and cyberpunk aesthetics, Telecompn[今夜] captures that liminal space between introspection and the electric hum of the city at 3 AM.

I lost my father last year to Alzheimer's and my mom is in the advanced stages. If I’m to befall the same fate, at least I left instructions.

WHEN I CAN'T REMEMBER YOU
©2025 Brian Hazard (ASCAP)

In the gathering dusk
I will fade to a husk
Vital systems will fail
Trains of thought will derail

What you think of as me
[in a healthy body]
Will in time cease to be
[promise]
Can you give me a clue
When I can’t remember you?

Every name, every face
[every precious moment]
Getting harder to place
[over]
Like a verse left unsung
On the tip of my tongue

We all end up as dust
[out of love or duty]
So we do what we must
[help me]
Hold my hand, guide me through
When I can’t remember you

“You’re going to lose it all”
A whisper in the gloom
Feel like I should apologize
For what I’ll put you through
The faithful will testify
That true love never dies
But nobody knows for sure
What’s going on behind those lost eyes

Recollection recedes
[in the final stages]
Strangers tend to my needs
[helpless]
Play this song in my room
When I can’t remember you
