This song is a title track of my 20th single PLAY LOUDER. The genres are Alternative rock / Lo-Fi / J-ROCK. The moods are Happy / Motivational / Upbeat. The style is Experimental. The category is Happy & Upbeat. I wrote and recorded this alone in my room with a guitar, a synth, a mic and a PC in 2017. Bass by synth.

PLAY LOUDER

"Once"
Music by Mihail Yossifov

Original composition by the first eponymous album of the Bulgarian-Greek jazz quintet Balkan Surprise

Balkan Surprise is a jazz quintet founded by five prominent and charming musicians from Bulgaria and Greece, who share not only their love for jazz and their diverse experience in this music of free expression, but also do share profound respect and appreciation of the authentic and rich music of the Balkans - this colourful and vibrant part of Europe where all the band members are from. 
Balkan Surprise is a meeting between colleagues, neighbours, friends and its music reflects it. It is warm and honest, it is beautiful and vivid, it is calm and dynamic. 
Balkan Surprise creates and performs jazz - contemporary and modern, harmonious and rhythmic, yet sincere and without any pretense, music that with ease touches the senses. And while talking at the language of jazz, Balkan Surprise in a subtle way pays tribute to the wealth and the variety of the sounds of the Balkans.

Balkan Surprise members are:

Mihail Yossifov – trumpet
Antonis Andreou - trombone
Vasil Spassov – piano
Kimon Karoutzos – double bass
Alexandros - Drakos Ktistakis – drums

Composers of the original music in the album are Mihail Yossifov and Vasil Spassov

The Way Of Dreams

🎶 you just stand there

(Cinematic | Emotional | Orchestral)
Sometimes silence hurts more than words.
This piece was born from that very silence — the moment when love collapses, and the one you trusted most just stands there, watching you fall.
It’s not about revenge, it’s about realization.
When love dies, hate doesn’t destroy — it repairs what’s left of a broken soul.

A fragile piano carries the memory of warmth, while Bohemian violins cry softly between the shadows.
Her voice drifts through the fog — neither angel nor ghost — whispering what’s left of connection.
This is not a song of anger. It’s the echo of what remains when everything else is gone.

🎻 Production Notes
Lead lines use Virharmonic’s Bohemian Violin for feather-light bowing, intimate vibrato, and fluid legato phrasing — creating a breathing, human tone that weaves between sorrow and strength.
Abbey Road One forms the cinematic backbone, while Native Instruments Piano Noire shapes the emotional pulse.

Female vocals were rendered in ACE Studio, as no suitable singer was available in time.
Melody, phrasing, dynamics, and emotional design were all composed by me.
🎧 I care about real, honest music — composition, arrangement, performance design, mixing & mastering are entirely handcrafted.
No AI, no Suno, no Udio, no Mubert — everything you hear was created by me.

I believe AI should never replace the artist — it can assist, inspire, or speed up a process, but it should never define the creative vision.
When you hand over the full creation to AI, you surrender your growth as an artist and become dependent on a machine that doesn’t feel, dream, or doubt.
Real art is born from imperfection — from human emotion, not automation.
Stay real 🎶❤️🎶 
🖋️ Lyrics (English & German)

You were my fire,
now I’m cold in the light.
Between love and rage,
you fade out of sight.

Du warst mein Feuer,
jetzt frier ich im Licht.
Zwischen Liebe und Zorn
verblasst dein Gesicht.*

Your name’s a poison in my chest,
my heart’s a grave that never rests.
I hate you ‘cause I still need you,
and love just dies when it bleeds through.

Dein Name – ein Gift in meiner Brust,
mein Herz – ein Grab, das niemals ruht.
Ich hasse dich, weil ich dich noch brauch,
und Liebe stirbt, wenn sie hindurchblutet.*

I fall — you just stand there.
Broken — but still fair.
I scream — no one cares.
Love is dying, and hate repairs.

Ich fall — du stehst nur da.
Gebrochen — und doch so klar.
Ich schrei — und keiner hört.
Die Liebe stirbt, der Hass sie heilt.*

I wear your face under my skin,
burned and scarred where you’ve been.
Swore I’d never let you go —
but had to break you just to grow.

Ich trag dein Gesicht unter meiner Haut,
verbrannt, gezeichnet, wo du einst warst.
Ich schwor, dich nie gehen zu lassen —
doch ich brach dich, um zu wachsen.*

Everything in me — still pieces of you.
I see your ghost in everything I do.
If you can hear me, curse my name —
but don’t forget it.

Alles in mir — noch Splitter von dir.
Ich seh dein Gespenst in allem, was ich tu.
Wenn du mich hörst, verfluch meinen Namen —
doch vergiss ihn nie.*

When it’s done, it’s just stone and dust.
I hate you now — ‘cause I must.

Wenn alles vorbei ist, bleibt Stein und Staub.
Ich hasse dich jetzt — weil ich’s muss.

A Time To Reflect

Cast of Characters:

J.J. Terrell– @j-j-terrell – organ, synth and composition
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)– @josh-clary-1 –Josh – custom five string fretless bass and PRS SE semi-hollwbody electric guitar
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara –Ken -- drums
Sunnybeck-- @sunnybeck — Beck — synth and MIDI composition
TexMex Shaman– @texmex-shaman –Stephen — Tom Anderson custom T model electric wah guitar
The Beautiful Dark -- @thebeautifuldark -- Carl — vocals and lyrics
Llanpsych -- @llanpsych -- Tez – production, mix, and mastering

This song began as a looper beat that Josh created in BandLab. He does that often to start an idea. However, this beat sat on the shelf for almost a year, until he shared it with JJ for one of his Saturday night music sessions. JJ put an arrangement on it with his organ and bass. Josh quickly replaced the bass idea with his own version of it, though.
Now it was Ken's turn to replace the dull looper beat with something alive and organic, which he did in the most creative and solid way possible. We had a skeleton now, and it was time to share it with Beck, with whom this is Eclectic Collecitive's first song. She added her magic via the synth you hear sprinkled throughout. Stephen weighed in next with his funky wah guitar.
It was almost done at this point, but of course, we wanted Carl to add his greatness to it, as well, which he did by writing and singing some compelling vocals. He took the working title, which Josh came up with having just read The Odyssey, and wrote a whole song about it!
Once it was all laid down, we asked Tez to do his expert work with the mix and production, which he did perfectly, as always. We're very lucky to have two very talented producers in the group, and grateful to Tez for ironing this one out for us.
This is, as mentioned, the EC's first go round with Beck, and we couldn't be more thrilled to work with her. Not only is she a skilled, creative musician, but she is a delightful ray of sunlight to work with, too. We have another collab with here we plan to release in the coming weeks, as well. There will be more to follow. We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed creating it.
Original lyrics by The Beautiful Dark
Hold on dear crew
Cruel winds fly north
Our tenth foul day
Land found fresh worth
Untameable sea
We survived people
Ashore
Fresh water
Food
Lessen our feeble

Three of company
Greet these inhabitants
Find what land lends their habitance
Trio arrive and find not hurt
Then found local food
Good offering flirty

Three watered mouths by nicest taste
Who needs home
We stay
No haste
Love lotus buds
Don’t mind the captain
Let’s stay and munch this tuck of trapping

Captain bemused All aboard!
No more shall eat this food mind sword
What of home!
What of love!
Weep not dear three
Cold turkey tough

Smite that sea
Hold tight your oars
Now heave to Ithaca
South-westwards
Bye Lotus eaters
Trip like land
Love lesson lives
Myth mystery scanned
