SILVERLINING

우리의 새벽은
아침이 올 거라는 믿음,
낭비한 청춘 속의 변명들,
점멸하는 불빛 속 깜빡이던 약속들.

기어코 쏟아버린 꿈과 사랑은
새벽 뒤 꿈속에선 전부 그대로였지.

이내 설명하지 못한 것들을 모두 펼쳐놓고
잊혀질 감정과 기억을 내내 입안에서 굴리다가.

Ordinary

drowning in words never said

I’m sowing seeds with the water and I’m ready to grow
I’m facing south so you know the process ain’t too slow
So tell me darling, do you know something I don’t know?
Are you hiding rain where the roots won’t go?
Are you saving blooms for a life I won’t know?
Where did the sun go…

I’ve been digging deep where the daylight won’t go
Watching shadows move while the garden still grows
Tell me darling, is there something you won’t show?
Are you chasing light down a path I don’t know?

Is the rain gonna fall or just stay in the clouds?
Will the roots break free or keep holding the ground?
I can feel the wind start to turn around
And the bloom’s so close that it’s shaking the sound

So tell me darling, do you know something I don’t know?
Are you hiding rain where the roots won’t go?
Are you saving blooms for a life I won’t know?
Where did the sun go…

Forget Our Earthly Cares

The harmony guitars are just too good to stay hidden. I've re-written this song 20 times so let's call it a demo

Solive Raye is the sound of solitude given form, quiet thoughts turned into raw, melodic truths. An engineer and lifelong observer, Solive Raye writes for those who feel alone in crowded rooms, where silence speaks louder than words.


Blending dark, atmospheric tones with flickers of hope, his music lives in the in-between: not quite despair, not quite light, but something honest.


Raised in movement, from football fields to refereeing lines, he now wanders more internal landscapes, shaping every lyric with the precision of an outsider looking in.


Solive Raye doesn’t shout. He resonates.
