Concrete Ghost is a raw, emotional piece about life on the fringes — unseen, unheard, but still standing. It’s for those who wander city streets like shadows, carrying memories heavier than their steps.

Homelessness was a big part of my life that's why I wrote this song as outlet and for the people still out there.

This track continues the story I started with Ashes in the Grey — giving voice to the ghosts we become when the world stops seeing us.

🎧 Listen. Feel. Share.

Concrete Ghost | Echoes of the Pavement

A retro-modern love letter to sunshine harmonies and kaleidoscopic pop. Golden Airwaves glides from beach-bright mornings to neon boardwalk midnights.

streets of cambodia

You can do it
You can stop it
You can fight it
You can end it

You can do it
You can stop it
You can fight it
You can end it

Overcome it again
And do it again

Overcome it again
And do it again

Give yourself credit
Give yourself love
Give yourself credit
Give yourself love

You've been there before
You've been there before
You've been there before
You've been there before

Overcome it again
And do it again

Overcome it again
And do it again

This Time I Win

A spark unfolds in the quiet night  
Silent currents, hidden light  
Echoes rising through the dark  
A gamma wave, a shining mark  

It’s the end, it’s the start  
Shockwave shaking fragile hearts  
 
Burst, burst — gamma burst  
Cracking open all the universe  
Let it flow, let it stay  
Ride the rhythm night and day  
Burst, burst — gamma burst  
Echo loud across the earth  

Colors bend in violet streams  
Atoms falling into dreams  
Radiate, illuminate the skies  
Cosmic roar, no compromise  
 
It’s the end, it’s the start  
Shockwave shaking fragile hearts  

Burst, burst — gamma burst  
Cracking open all the universe  
Let it flow, let it stay  
Ride the rhythm night and day  
Burst, burst — gamma burst  
Echo loud across the earth  

Shadows scatter, stars collide  
Time is folding, open wide  
Every signal, every sound  
Gamma rising all around  
  
Burst, burst — gamma burst  
Cracking open all the universe  
Let it flow, let it stay  
Ride the rhythm night and day  
Burst, burst — gamma burst  
Echo loud across the earth  

Silent night, the spark remains  
Through the pulse, nothing’s the same  

Gamma Pulse (Indie Pop reload)

In this silence
I sit here and think
When will the day come
When will I be unique

What can I do
To make things happen
Do I let them believe
Or do I fake a happy

I want the best
That life has to offer
I want the best
That life has to offer

In the silence
I dream of the greatest
Affecting the world
Injecting the latest

This love is for the world
This love is for you
This love is for the night
This love is not blue

I find that I still care
I find that I still love
I find that I can believe
I find that I can rise above

The fire
The ashes
The rubble
The torn
The destroyed
The damaged
The devastation
The burn

I want the best
That life has to offer
I want the best
That life has to offer

In the silence
I dream of the greatest
Affecting the world
Injecting the latest

This love is for the world
This love is for you
This love is for the night
This love is not blue

I find that I still care
I find that I still love
I find that I can believe
I find that I can rise above

instrumental intro, dark synths, triangels, clock's sounds]

Verse 1
Shadows bend beneath the skyline,
a crooked moon begins to weep.
Echoes hum through hollow doorways,
[ bridge ]
dark secrets stir but never sleep.

Chorus
Sleepy Hollow, keep me near,
whisper truths I cannot hear.
[ bridge]
Every step, a haunted sound,
[ bridge]
lost in silence underground.

Verse 2
Lanterns flicker, streets are empty,
ghosts of laughter fill the air.
Every mirror hides a story,
[ bridge]
every glance a hidden snare.

Chorus
Sleepy Hollow, do not call my name,
burning voices,  silent whispers -endless flame.
Every secret, every scar, do not question me  too far [ bridge]
guides me back, [ bridge] to who we are.

Bridge
Slowly drifting, hypnotized,
in this world of dark disguise.
Cinematic shadows fall,
[ bridge]
Sleepy Hollow knows it all.

[ instrumental outro ]

RAIANE é um soco carinhoso — um mergulho entre luz e sombra, onde o brega encontra o futuro.
Future Brega mistura batidas minimalistas, corais distorcidos e emoção crua.

lembrança que fica - RAIANE

Lyrics: 
A simple moon ray
Lit up my room
A fragile whisper
Dissolved the gloom
The steady thumping of my heart
Made me wonder why you never came back

Why do you make it seem so easy
To break the oaths, to shatter the glass
I can’t accept the anatomy of absence
I still sense your skin almost all the time

I stare at the abyss of the night sky
I see us in a vision, the remnants of your touch

In the gravity of your absence, I drift through the void
Dark matter thoughts where the light is destroyed
And I lay here… love deployed.

Come on, don’t leave me with my cryptic parables
It can’t be so easy to live your life as if I was never yours
I’m here, trying to poetize this burning feeling
To romanticize what’s fleeting
To make some sense of why you’d go

One moment you believed it, the next you were leaving
You left me feeling small, so pathetic
All I have is to cling to some dignity
By telling this story like it’s prophetic…

In the gravity of your absence, I drift through the void
Dark matter thoughts where the light is destroyed…

All I want to say is I hate that you’re gone
And I loathe that you forgot
And I hope that you regret it,
That your heart can’t forget it,
When my shadow appears, may you endlessly dread it

Lyrics by C Redmond
Verse 1
Saw you first in a dream
Your face in the silver light
Woke with your name on my lips
In my soul it felt so right
Chorus
But dreams are liars
And hearts can break
The night betrayed me
Fantasies it will take
I will never dream again
Never dream again
Verse 2
Held you close in the dark
It was real and in my hands
Then I found you in the world
And nothing went as planned
Chorus
But dreams are liars
And hearts can break
The night betrayed me
Fantasies it will take
I will never dream again
Never dream again
Bridge
Your love was never mine
It belongs to someone else
Lost inside a desperate wish
Talking to myself
Final Chorus / Outro
Dreams are liars
Hearts can break
The night betrayed me
Fantasies it will take
I will never dream again
Never dream again
Never dream again
Never dream again

This Time I Win
