The Drums - What You Were

And I’ll see you
Every now and then but I guess it’s not enough
Everything i do is not enough for me, so
I’ll be here, even if it hurts just because I hate myself
Even if it hurts doesn’t mean I don’t try hard

And I don’t hear from you and soon all I will be 

Every night I lose some more
And every day I hear it more
And every night I want some more 
And every night I lose my mind
And every night I lose some more
And every day I hear it more
And every night I lose control
And every night I lose my mind

Today, doesn’t seem so bad but I need some help 
Everything i do doesn’t seem the way I go
And you’ll be every thing you said you didn’t want to be
Every thing you said you didn’t want to be

Every night I lose some more
And every day I hear it more
And every night I want some more 
And every night I lose my mind
And every night I lose some more
And every day I hear it more
And every night I lose control
And every night I lose my mind

And I don’t hear from you and soon all I will be

Dont Turn Against Me

Hi there and welcome to the latest release from NEON MONOLITH, 'Beautiful You'

This track is inspired by friendship and all the beautiful people we are so blessed to have in our lives.

Lyrics, Composition, All Instruments, Arrangement, Vocals & Production: Matt Baker

Verse 1.
Sometimes I don't know what to do
Some days the sky's so grey and cold
Sometimes the world spins me round and round
I try to hold on, hope things slow down

Chorus:
Beautiful You, Like a beacon of light
Shining Love, that conquers the night
Through the chaos, and through the fear
I am safe when you are here

Verse 2:
The World outside, it frightens me
So many monsters, chasing after me
The light is blinding, the thunder roars
I try to hold on, forever yours

Chorus:

Verse 3:
The doubt that creeps in, Whisper fear
Telling stories I don't wanna hear
I run to find, tranquillity
Somewhere safe, where I am free

Chorus:

Verse 1

LYRICS
Brothers on his way
praying up to 10 times a day
till he finds that he has something more to say
Over the same old gal
Possible life long pal
but what did she mean when she said she'd be your pal?

Sweet and shy
Nice Nice guy
Forget the finish line
You're wasting someones time x2

Over the same old song
many moments making no sense
its Ramadan in the sun
everyone's at fault
Some will never last
waking up to break their fast
in the moment it seemed the day could easily pass

Sweet and shy
Nice Nice guy
Forget the finish line
You're wasting someones time ....

Nice Guy

Music has always been an integral part of my life. From my earliest memories, it has shaped how I express my emotions and bring my creative ideas to life. Whether it was hours spent with a slightly out-of-tune upright piano or strumming on my sister's guitar, I was hooked. While I struggled with traditional music theory and never quite mastered reading or writing music, my passion for sound and composition only grew.

My journey truly began with a Casio VL-Tone, a keyboard that allowed me to record simple melodies. Throughout my teenage years, I poured countless hours and resources into building my first collection of music gear, recording everything from theme songs to pop and punk covers with friends. In my early twenties, I played in several bands and immersed myself in the live music scene, which was a great experience but often came with late nights and long hours.

During this time, I also began exploring electronic music more seriously, acquiring my first proper setup: a Kawai keyboard, Technics sequencer, Alesis HR16 drum machine, and a Yamaha MT100 4-track recorder. These tools opened up new possibilities and inspired me to experiment with electronic music production and midi-based compositions.

A lifelong fan of science fiction, fantasy, and cinematic soundtracks, I soon found myself gravitating toward composing thematic music. Movies, being my second greatest passion, heavily influenced the direction of my creative work.

In my 30s, life’s demands shifted my focus toward career and family, but my love for music never waned. Entering my 40s, I had the opportunity to refocus, acquiring new gear and fully committing to my musical development. With the help of modern technology, I now have a home studio where I can bring my musical ideas to life with greater precision and depth.

My current setup includes a Korg Triton LE, Cubase 12, Nektar LE88, Steinberg UR824 interface, and an array of VSTs such as Kontakt, Halion Sonic SE, Retrologue, and EastWest Symphonic Choirs, among others. This home studio, built over nearly a decade, allows me to push creative boundaries and explore new sounds and compositions.

Based in Liverpool, I’m currently writing is almost every style. Rock songs for my band Inner Fire. Pop tracks inspired by the 80's and 90's. Theme music inspired by film and literature with the aspiration of one day scoring a full-length production. 

Since joining SoundCloud, I've had the privilege of connecting with talented musicians and creative minds from around the world. One of the most fulfilling collaborations has been with John Styles, where we’ve explored a wide range of musical genres. 

I’m also proud to serve as the principal composer for Music for Brains, a project dedicated to healing through music and creativity. Working on this project has been deeply rewarding, as it has allowed me to connect with individuals on an emotional level, crafting compositions inspired by their stories.

I’m always open to feedback and collaboration, as it helps me refine my craft. While working in the music industry is a dream, I am also a grateful family man, and the support of my loved ones plays a crucial role in fuelling my passion. I am thankful to have such a strong network of family and friends who encourage me to keep pursuing my musical ambitions.

If you're in need of music for a production or project, feel free to reach out. I would be excited to contribute my creativity and help bring your vision to life.

Thank you for taking the time to explore my music—I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Matt
