Si bien fue poco

This song was inspired by someone I know who lost her soulmate. From time to time, I read her posts, and the depth of love she expresses for him is unlike anything I've encountered before. Typically, expressions of heartbreak are filled with sorrow and repetition, but her words delve profoundly into her emotions. Her reflections compelled me to capture the essence of their love and the pain she endures.

While I can't change her circumstances, I aimed to offer a moment of remembrance through this song. Utilising AI and my own consciousness, I sought to encapsulate the enduring love she holds for him, whether he's beside her in body or exists in the ether. True love is eternal, and witnessing such devotion makes one reflect on their own experiences. It prompts the question: how would someone write about you in a song? This is my attempt to honour that profound connection.

I Will Always Love You

Streets To The Beat

[Intro]
London rain on the glass… another Tuesday.
You know, for a while… I was your little bit of spice. Your… exotic.
But I guess everyone goes home in the end, yeah?
(uh)

[Verse 1]
You left no time for regret, no
Kept your next one wet
With your same old Brixton bet
Me? I keep my head high
Make sure all my tears stay dry
I'll get on without my guy
You went back to what you knew, yeah
So far removed now
From the world we tried to build through
And I'm on a troubled track, babe
Feels my future's stacked
Guess I'll go back to black

[Chorus]
We just said goodbye with words
Felt like I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to…
Yeah, I go back to us

[Verse 2]
Said I love you so much
But my love was not enough
You craved your rum punch, I sipped my quiet puff
And our life… it felt like a pipe dream
Now I'm a tiny kopek rollin' up the walls inside, it seems
I was your Polish prize, your little Slavic surprise
But novelty wears off before your English eyes
You’re back to your Sunday roast, the girl you know the most
And I’m just a heartbroken, Eastern Bloc ghost.

[Chorus]
We just said goodbye with words
Felt like I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to…
We just said goodbye with words
Felt like I died a hundred times
You go back to her
And I go back to…

[Bridge]
Black, black, black, black
(The colour of your skin, the colour of my mood)
Black, black, black
(The cab that took you home to her)
I go back to…
I fall back to…

[Chorus]
We just said goodbye with WORDS!
Felt like I died a thousand TIMES!
You return to HER!
And I go back to…
(Yeah!) We just said goodbye with words
I swear I died a thousand times
You go back to her…
And I go back to black.

[Outro]
Back to black…

London Rain On The Glass

She needed someone to talk to
Just as you happened to walk by
You marked the day and the hour
As if you had no scars to hide

She brought you silver and sunshine
You thought she opened up the sky
Don’t let her bright eyes delude you
Your sun and moon will soon collide

You’re headed for a heartbreak
All your stars are falling, falling
Falling all the wrong way
Headed for a heartbreak
I hope you know it breaks my heart
To see you headed that way
Uh-uh-uh-uh-oh!

When she decides to undo you
No doubt you’ll be the last to know
As walls come crashing around you
Just understand you’re not alone

You’re headed for a heartbreak
All your stars are falling, falling
Falling all the wrong way
Headed for a heartbreak
I hope you know it breaks my heart
To see you headed that way
Uh-uh-uh-uh-oh!

Headed for a heartbreak, Uh-uh-uh-uh-oh!
Headed for a heartbreak, Uh-uh-uh-uh-oh!

Headed for a Heartbreak

So Petty

If You Give Me a Choice

So Give it away

Summertime Blue

“Reasons Why You Should Love Me”
A vintage soul confession wrapped in cinematic elegance.
Waltzing through lace-bound memories, poetic flaws, and midnight longing, this ballad is for the romantics out of time — the ones who love deeply, imperfectly, and beautifully.
Think strings, soft light, and a voice that aches like old film.

If you've ever been a storm in silk or a quiet heart in a loud world — this song is for you.

Reasons Why You Should Love Me

(Retro Pop Elegance – 3/4 waltz tempo)

[Verse 1]
Because I wear perfume no one can name
And cry at the endings no one else claims
I dance in my kitchen like I’m on stage
In slippers and secrets I never outgrew

[Verse 2]
Because I keep letters tied up in lace
From lovers who left but still haunt this place
I dream in old movies and black-and-white grace
And believe that a promise can still come true

[Chorus]
So if you're looking for reason or rhyme
To love a girl a little out of time
Here I am, bruised and blooming slow
With a heart too deep, and nowhere to go
Wouldn’t you want a love like mine?
That burns through velvet and waits in line?

[Verse 3]
Because I’ll forgive what I never forget
And laugh like a dare when my eyes get wet
I’ll read your silence like cigarette ash
And write you in lyrics I haven’t sung yet

[Chorus]
So if you're counting the stars and flaws
Still wondering if I'm worth the cost
Here I am, soft where the world gets mean
In lace and longing, somewhere between
Wouldn’t you want a love like mine?
A storm in silk, a kiss in time?

[Bridge]
You don’t need a reason carved in stone
Sometimes, love is a house with the lights left on

[Final Chorus]
So if you’re tired of less-than-true
Of hollow hands and skies too blue
Here I am, a midnight bloom
A question mark in a crowded room
Wouldn’t you want a love like mine?
A rare old song, just slightly out of line?
