Stuck by The Independent Sound

When everything good is perverted
And every loving thought is diverted
By the hatred of a few who can put their hands in their wallet
And buy out all the grace and all the beauty that is in this world
I’ll be there for her, and Ì’ll be there for him and I’ll be there for them

You’ll be there for her too and be there for him too and we’ll all be there for them
And we wont’t move an inch, no we won’t flinch a pinch
Cause their wallet are full but their hearts contain only void
And they can dig  in their pockets as deep as they can, 
But they’ll never dig deep enough and find money enough 
To buy your heart and my heart and their heart

Cause our hearts are not for sale and their currency is monkey money and it has no value here
There can be kindness in subversion, but there will always be subversion in kindness
Cause kindness is subversion

Love to my sisters and love to my brothers
Trans rights are human rights

Lyrics:

RAVEN RED

Red sunrise paints the window pane,
another day begins
I trace the lines of your face 
And I can smell you in my skin

Chorus
Raven red the shadows talk
Every thought’s about you
Remembering our smiles together
Struggling to get through

Scattered morning light
Remember the cold so hot
I still feel your heartbeat
The memories never stop

90's inspire rock produced in Metro Detroit.

Look at you save the day pushing weary souls out of the way.
I guess I'm on my own.
It's not your call, it's not your lie. Excuse yourself from action all the time.
It doesn't have to be this way.
10 years of being sore. Leaves you wanting so much more 
Who will help you?

Cast aside the broken laws, and saddle up for one more cause.
Painting picture you want to see, like a bag of candied misery.
A can of whoop-ass it's all the same. Common sense is so mundane.
Learn the lesson. Who will save you?

Why try to help me when ribbons in your hair is all they see.
You're not the one that they deceive. 
Unmarked grave for one you love, viewing history from high above.
Above another moral line.
Dime store economists say salvation cannot exist.
Who will help you?

Cast aside the broken laws, and saddle up for one more cause.
Painting picture you want to see, like a bag of candied misery.
A can of whoop-ass it's all the same. Common sense is so mundane.
Learn the lesson. Who will save you?

And then we walk away. Honest wage and simple ways left behind.
And then we run away. You decide who will fly, learn the lesson.

Lessons

Following the release of The Rising Sun's orchestra version, which was basically an experiment, I decided to bring new versions online for The Suns set featured in The People of The Sun. They are still true to their original synthwave versions, but arranging a piece for orchestra is a completely different thing, so there are adaptations and new parts too, which I like.

The Falling Sun is a more dramatic counterpart to The Rising Sun, and they work in tandem. The latter representing our rise, the first representing the subsequent fall. I do not intend to remake the whole People of the Sun album in orchestral form, only the Sun songs. I hope you enjoy this one, because damn, it was a struggle to make, but I'm ultimately happy with how it turned out - a far superior version to the original one, I must say.

Lemme know what you think, hit me in the comments or my DM! Thanks and enjoy.

The Falling Sun (Orchestra Version)

It's a long drive to Kentucky  
And the signs you can read above you say
"Wrong way home"

You try to focus on the greenery
While the green, mean mile markers scream
"Turn a-round"
"Turn a-round"

In the slow-ass traffic patterns
Oh, the road work doesn't matter
on I-sixty four
            
I can see you now in the construction zones
While yelling to the traffic cones
"We both know"
"We both know"

That this thing here between us
We gotta keep it whole as the asphalt erodes
That this thing here between us
Doesn't need to involve all these goddamn roads
Goddamn roads
Goddamn roads

You may be in West Virginia
But you still have to avoid the drivers of
O--hi-o

This road goes on for miles
And you don't want what's at the end of that
Long white line
Long white line

So park it, dear
Get your head clear and turn around
I need you here
Put that thing high gear and gain some ground               
I'll pay the ticket babe     
Just give those green mile markers one last wave
‘Cause we know!

That this thing here between us
We gotta keep it whole as the asphalt erodes
That this thing here between us
Doesn't need to involve all these goddamn roads
Yes, this thing here between us
We gotta keep it whole as the asphalt erodes
Darling, this thing here between us
Doesn't need to involve all these goddamn roads
Goddamn roads
Goddamn roads

It's a long drive to Kentucky 
And the signs you can read above you say
"Wrong way home"

From Here To Everywhere

NO GEN AI.

Hip Hop, Electro and Folk. Yes, this makes no sense, but I like it like that. Everything here is DIY, composed, written , produced, played and sung by me unless mentioned otherwise. The weird instrument you hear in a lot of my tracks is not an harmonica or an accordion, it's a melodica.

My first EP is available on all platforms: https://ffm.to/sailors-ep

If you want to chat, I'm on bluesky most of the time, there's a very nice musician community over there.

Open for collabs, don't hesitate to reach me by DM if you need a voice on the lower ends :)
