Love how you let the track breathe; those pauses add real impact.

Lovely mood  and catchy melody, nice prod 👌

Nice tune . reminds me of les Cowboys Fringant

A very interesting fusion of genres that kept me listening even though I don't understand a word of what's being sung.

A selection of tracks I've discovered on Soundcloud.

Newly discovered music I'm really into

This song may appear simple, if not simplistic. This is right, it’s not a complicated, rather a common, story about opening the door to someone and having to let this someone leaves you one day through the very same door.
However, in life like in love, don’t let the ordinary fool you. The little things in life are the biggest ones and when you have to look back to realize it, you’re actually lost to those magical instants.
Zut doesn’t stand for « Zebra University of Technology », but for « damn! » or « oh, heck! » in French. Yes, in French! Writing in the language of Molière was an arduous choice. It took me a year or so to go from the original « kinda » French lyrics to the final ones, which were done in a bar, on a paper napkin, along a few drinks!

The melody and chords were the most intuitive to find, playing around for a few evenings. However, honestly, my accent didn’t suit the rhythms and atmosphere. Finding singers willing to contribute proved not to be an easier task! Finally, Oliver Neff aka Titanic Jack agreed to record the main vocals. Together with Maja Štebih with her nice back vocals, they made such a great work on this Indie folkish-poppish-rock track. 
Thanks to both of them for their time, trust and capacity to see, and bring, beauty into the world!

FORGOT MY TROUSERS

Experience the melancholic melodies and introspective lyrics of 'Foggy Glass,' a musical journey inspired by moments of solitude and reflection. Born from the simple act of staring into a fogged mirror after a morning shower during a long and tiring business trip with jetlag, this track delves deep into the complexities of everyday life and the relentless pursuit of dreams amidst the chaos.

With collaborative talents from Gregor Alič on bass and Blaž Pavšič on acoustic guitar, drums, and co-production, 'Foggy Glass' crafts a narrative of longing and quiet rebellion through its atmospheric soundscapes and intricate instrumentation.

Join us as we ride the wave of routine times, breaking the monotony with music that plays and a quiet riot of screams where dreams reside.

69twoZero and Cosmic Keanu - Nephilim

"Downhill" is a rock/pop anthem rooted in the frustration and heartbreak of watching a once-stable connection unravel. Inspired (surprisingly) by a fallout with my ex-landlord, the song explores shifting dynamics, emotional confusion, and the sting of unmet expectations. While it sounds like a breakup song—and is framed like one—it was actually born from a non-romantic fallout, which is part of my songwriting signature: turning everyday conflicts into grand anthems.

Produced by Jay Ives, Downhill blends gritty rock instrumentation with a polished pop structure and a soaring, catchy hook. Its dynamic build mirrors the inner turmoil of navigating miscommunication and power shifts in any kind of relationship—romantic, professional, or otherwise. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt blindsided by someone they once trusted.

Lyrics:

VERSE 1

We met the first time
And you were all smiles
I had great plans for us
Could be good friends, and then some
I wasn't looking for nobody new
But I was starting to 
warm up to you

PRECHORUS
Then you started mind-twisting
And you like to play the victim
The lies started out white, then turned gray
Now they're so dark, I can't find my way

CHORUS (x2)
I feel, I feel
Us go downhill
I build, I build
So you could break it down again

VERSE 2
I thought I got you
One moment you're so good
But then the very next
you're acting so sketch
You went back on everything you said
Went from rosy pink to seeing red

PRECHORUS
You have such a good facade
I wanna know who the architect was
Once so nice, not so much twice
I won't stay around for thrice 

CHORUS (x2)
I feel, I feel
Us go downhill
I build, I build
So you could break it down again

BRIDGE
We both got our lasts
You got the word 
and I had had the straw

Every word flashes past
The lessons learnt
The storms I saw     
         
CHORUS (x2)
I feel, I feel
Us go downhill
I build, I build
So you could break it down again

OUTRO(x2)
I feel, I feel, I feel, I
Feel us go downhill
I build, I build, I build, I
So you could break it down again

Downhill

The Shining One's - Oziumpoet & Robert Grigg

A melancholic yet atmospheric synthpop ballad, Echoes in the Hallway captures the haunting presence of lost past. With dreamy synths and haunting vocals, the song paints a picture of solitude—empty hotel rooms, long drives, and fading echoes of the past. As the beat pulses beneath introspective lyrics, it pulls listeners into a bittersweet haze of nostalgia and longing, lost between memory and reality.

DEVOTION / Cover of Pure Devotion by "Timbaland"

DEVOTION

Chasing the Wind Again is a soulful reflection on ambition, dreams, and the endless pursuit of something just out of reach. With atmospheric melodies and inspired lyrics, this track invites listeners into a world where hope and struggle dance together. Perfect for late-night drives and moments of deep thought, 'Chasing the Wind Again' captures the bittersweet beauty of chasing what we believe in — even when it feels impossible.
“Chasing the Wind” was my debut release—an introduction to a full catalog of music I’ll be unveiling piece by piece as each track is completed. "Chasing the Wind Again" is a more guitar-centric version designed to be accessible and emotionally resonant, while still maintaining a distinct edge that sets it apart. It blends melodic appeal with lyrical depth, offering listeners a pleasant and thought-provoking sound. The lyrics balance instruction and inspiration, inviting listeners to reflect, grow, and move forward. This is just the beginning of a larger artistic journey, and “Chasing the Wind Again” sets the tone for what’s to come.

[Verse 1]
Working, waiting, wasting time
Wanting what I cannot find
Water flowing to the sea
Seasons spinning endlessly
Same sun rising every day
Same stars fading far away

[Chorus]
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Finding peace from within
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Til I learn just to begin

[Verse 2]
Building towers made of sand
Counting coins in trembling hands
Time is turning, turning still
Like a wheel against my will
Everything I try to keep
Slips away while I sleep

[Chorus]
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Finding peace from within
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Til I learn to begin

[Bridge]
Stop - breathe - see
What's right in front of me
Stop - breathe - be
The truth has set me free
Stop - breathe - Heal
Finally I can feel
Stop reveal
What's simple can be real

[Final Verse]
Now I watch the birds in flight
Feel the breeze and hold it tight
See the flowers break and bend
As the morning starts again
In the simple, in the small
Find the meaning of it all

[Chorus]
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Finding peace from within
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Til I learn to begin
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
I'm chasing the wind again
Finding peace that lives within
I'm chasing the wind again
Round and round without an end
Now I know how to begin

Chasing the Wind Again

This track references (and paraphrases) W.B. Yeats poem "The Second Coming". Written in 1919, it reveals an apocalyptic prophetic vision from the shattered perspective of World War I and the 1918 flu pandemic. It's really starting to feel like this poem's time has come.
