what a gem. makes me wanna wander NYC and listen to jazz. the line "A jazz man with a saxophone playing Satchmo as we take our stroll through the city streets" made me outright grin. gorgeous tune Mark!!

this is super groovy! And I realized after a while that this sounds like it could be on the radio. :) :)

Well HOT DAMN. Better get me some Kontakt. And a side of Mark's tastiness. That bass?? It's like a pool of frequencies coating my ear. So smooth my friend, SO smooth. Sign me up for vocals next!!!!

Also, very artsy lyrics. It sounds like you're about to sit down and draw/paint a masterpiece.

had me smiling from word one... beautiful song...

Nice key change.  I feel like I'm floating, which I think is the effect you were going for!  A+

(Verse 1)
I gave you everything but everything was never much
You didn't notice but I never thought of giving up
Nice clothes nice car anything you need
It wasn't empty I was making you a part of me 

What's mine was yours and yours was mine we were inseparable 
I can't believe that all your love was only fictional 
I gave you took like the IRS 
But all I got from you was words of hate and disrespect 

I kind of wondered in the back of my mind
If you were thinking about creepin one more time 
But I dismissed it cause I couldnt believe you could be so unkind 

(chorus) 
Well Im so glad I stood my ground
And protected all the best of what I am
And I will never let go no never let go 
feels like a weights been lifted 
Im feeling room to breathe and spread my wings again
and I'm never going back.
Cause I'm alive for the first time and I got back my youthful mind this time

(Verse 2)
i left behind the world I knew to share the one you had
I was committed to it all no matter good or bad 
Sacrificed my life my home my time. 
I had no reason not to think that we were doing fine. 

But then as time went on your started acting differently 
Whatever things you put inside you started hitting me 
We used to be everybody's favorite pair 
Till you started acting like you didn't even want me there 

I never wondered never questioned never had a doubt 
Until you shattered everything I ever cared about 
Until you ripped the rug from underneath my feet and went around behind my back and changed my whole reality. 

(chorus) 

(Bridge) 
Fool me once shame on you
fool me twice you and I are through
If it wasn't bad enough you put the blame on me
But it's not like Ididnt know
thats the way it was gonna go all along
I only asked you to give what I gave
how could that be so wrong?

(chorus)

My Younger Dreams
Music and Words by Mark Magram (2021)

(verse 1)
when i …was …just …a kid
i dreamed id find a perfect love
oh yes i did
woke up with emptiness
realized my mind just made her up
what a nasty trick

(chorus 1)
but now 
i see what I had done
way back when I was young
defining my ideals
and everything I wanted to feel
when I found that love for real
ive always had a basis for comparison
cuz I met her in 
my younger dreams

(verse 2)
its not ….so …obvious
that I’d be wiser then
without experience
but heck, in retrospect
when I was in that place
i wasnt jaded by a love misplaced

(chorus 2)
and now
ive been trying for a while
to bring back my inner child
so i can talk to him
and once again
remember what I wanted then
and I’ve
been burned and bruised by life
but i drew a map to reach my destination
cuz I met her in 
my younger dreams

(bridge)
i must have gone astray
between back then and today
life made me cynical
i gave up for dead
but when I was naive
I knew better what I’d need
without the heavy chains I wear around my neck now

(verse 3)
i dug….my…self….a….grave
to burry all my sorrow in
so I can try to redefine what I want 

(chorus 3)
now
and no longer disavow
what my younger self nailed down
in fantasies
I created in my sleep, when she came to me to show me what I want
and what happiness would feel like when it came
i will re-clarify her likeness in my brain
cause I already met her in
my younger dreams

My Younger Dreams

Honesty
Music and Words by Mark Magram (2021)

(v1)
Sometimes love is right before us
But we don't want to see the truth
We do our best to just ignore it
Good friends are always hard to lose

you might assume your heart a liar
too scared to tempt the hand of fate

(ch)
Honesty
doesnt come so easily
when it comes to love we hide the truth
we're afraid to lose
what we dont have, so we hold back

(ch2)
Honesty
can seem like such a trajedy
when a friendship can be torn apart
by a love-sick heart
we get shy, fail to try


(v2)
Sometimes it just comes down to timing
a perfect love can pass you by
we might have grabbed it and embraced it
but felt the risk was just too high


we tend to fear the worst of outcomes
and so we put up our facade


(br)
wouldnt it be so nice
if every time two hearts collide
we gave off signs and signals
we could see with naked eyes
but we're all flying blind
and we cant read each others mind
you wonder just how many times
true love can pass us by

(ch)
(ch2)

[Verse]

You wanna change,
Everything about me,

Your acting strange,
Is anybody else noticing,

I can’t breathe, 
I’m slowly, falling in my misery,

I know you won’t, fuckin’ care

[Chorus I]

My demons chasing me!

I need a new identity!

Everybody’s counting on me!
But I can barely see, 

My own reflection!

[Verse]

One day you’ll see,
What you have, done to me,

Or maybe you won’t,
Cause you never cared at all,

No I can’t see, no I can’t sleep,
I can’t breathe, when you’re with to me!

[Chorus II]

My demons chasing me!

I need a new identity!

Everybody’s counting on me!
But I can barely see, 

My own reflection!

My demons chasing me!

Everybody’s counting on me!
But I can barely see!

Adored

I know what you’re doing
Despite you still hiding
I know what you love
Attention

I tried to be you friend
You came like an old enemy
Who can’t walk alone

I know what you like
I know about you kind

You raging eyes
Won’t stare at me
No more

I don’t need you fake smile
I’ve got joy in my heart
I know what you crave
Distortion
Look up to the light
Instead of crawling in the dark
Tied up to your own desires

Tell me what it’s like
To feel real bad inside

You raging eyes
Won’t stare at me
No more
Your double face
Won’t fool me
No more

It’s kind of windy
Too much for Wendy
Watch your skirt lady
I know what you like
I know about your kind

Tell me what it’s like
To feel real bad inside

You raging eyes
Won’t stare at me
No more
Your double face
Won’t fool me
No more
Your bloody mouth
Won’t lie on me
Anymore

Fear no more
Fear no more

NO MORE
NO MORE
NO MORE

Fear No More

Down The Hall - 16:03:2024

Alt, new and indie folk blend with pop, rock and poetic introspection on this new track from Emma Hynes which is evocative of what she describes as her “own brand of ethereal longing.”

Lightly reflective too of the combined Irish and Spanish influences infusing her previous single, Sierra, Hinterland offers a further tonal and thematic flavour of what can be expected from her album when it comes out in 2026.

You and Me in NYC

Music and Words by Mark Magram


I hear the Autumn breese
Flow through the crayon trees
Yellow sunlight in your golden hair
You didnt see me stare
But I think you felt it there
Cause I felt you smiling without looking at your face

She makes me smile with the way that she's acting
Alone in my head I cant help but think back and
Remember how lucky I was that I found her

We found a grey stone hill
On polished rocks we chill
Looking down upon a pond made out of glass
Skyscrapers peering down
Sweet smells from all around
I kiss your lips and pray this moment always lasts baby

And now the city lights
They dance across your eyes
We leave the forrest, concrete jungle calls our names
A jazz man with a saxophone playing Satchmo as we take our stroll through the city streets
Just you and me, just you and me

She makes me smile with the way that she's acting
Alone in my head I cant help but think back and
Remember how lucky I was that I found her

Sometimes it feels like I'm floating
through the dark of outer space
all direction has lost meaning
With you I feel like I'm tethered
all the lonely melts away
another universe exists in your soul

We lay down on the sheets
My cheek upon your cheek
I brush your hair back and I put it behind your ear
The moonlight paints your skin
I stare and take it in
Your beauty never ceases to amaze me

She makes me smile with the way that she's acting
Alone in my head I cant help but think back and
Remember how lucky I was that I found her

I just emerged from a deep dark place yet another time
but I persevered 
and yes I'm still here

Took some time for me to realize that I'm doin just fine
and I'll make it through
its what I always do

When things hit bottom that's when I tend to really respond
sometimes I dont even know how I do

but I can feel it
my time is finally here
I can feel it
I know that there are better days to come
cause I'll make em that way myself.

(vamp for 4 measures)

For some reason I look for help in family and friends
and theyre always great
they help carry the weight.

but in the end there's only one person on whom I can depend
and that person is me
think by now I would see

all your friends and your family will tell you what you want to hear
cause they love you and thats what they want you to feel

but only you can make you feel it
my day is finally here
I can feel it
all the clouds have dissappeared
I can feel it
I have crawled out from my hell
I can feel it
I know that there are better days ahead
cause I'll make em that way myself.

[Bridge]
I just need to have a little faith
Just look how far I've come
I've done it on my own


Well I can feel it
My Time has finally come
And I can feel it
I can see how far I've come
I can feel it
I know what I can do
I can feel it
I know that there are brighter days ahead
because I'll make em that way myself.

mmm mm mm
Just look at how well I've done so far....so far
Look at how far I've come so far....so far
mmmmm

I Can Feel It - Featuring Ray Prim

We Made the World
Music By Casie Luong and Mark Magram
Words by Casie Luong

We used to be a masterpiece, 

But now we hanging in abandoned malls, on the walls

When the love was strong 

They came to see us, photographs that made the people talk, off the walls


Everything I do, swimming being used, acting like a fool 

Don’t matter when it comes to you, 

Everytime they stare, l lose my freaking air, forget the world 

I swear, why it always come back to you


All the simple things, 

Made the world so easy 

I just call you up and you’re with me, you come with me

All the simple things, 

Was safe and easy, when you’re with me 


Well our story lives beyond a trace 

We’re like the kid who flew to outer space, unafraid

Can’t get enough of heartache pain, I trade it in for lidocaine

And pray, pray it’s ok 


All the simple things, 

Made the world so easy 

I just call you up and you’re with me, you come with me, baby

All the simple things, 

It was safe and easy, when you’re with me, it’s so holy no worries babe

When you’re with me, it’s so easy baby 

We made the world so easy

You And Me In NYC
