Spécial thanks to Badword for his vocal.....

LOST TILL I AM WITH U.  feat  Badword

The time we have to live and be with our loved ones is actually very short, but there are many people who ruin it by destroying themselves. I wish I wasn't like that.

a ruined wish

I wanted something fun and uptempo for my album that always seems to be one song away from complete 🫢  A while ago I was going through some health issues and I purchased a pill box for all the drugs I was taking and I thought this could turn into a good song idea.  I dusted off the banjo and mandolin for this lol.  New mic has arrived and I quickly recorded the vocals after spending the week on the other stuff.  It's a demo as I know it might need better mixing, singing, playing etc etc....

P.S Re-recorded vocals.. sounded like Calamity Jane!!! 😱

Written, Performed and Produced by Sarah Paradise-Brown

I woke up stressed my brains on fire
My nerves are wired
My thoughts conspire
Doctor says “Take one a day”
Now I’m poppin’ ‘em like it’s a buffet

Blue ones for the Monday grind
Pink ones to help me unwind
I’m a pharmacy VIP
Living life chemically carefree

Prescription addiction
I’m living the dream
Riding that serotonin dopamine stream
Side effects? 
Oh, they don’t scare me
Small price for feeling anxiety-free!
Prescription addiction
Oh what a thrill
Swallowing my problems like a daily refill

Friends all say, “You’re way too chill”
But that’s the magic of a little pill
Anxiety’s gone
Floating high
Like a zen master with a medicated supply

Capsules for my inner fears
Tablets for my overthinking gears
I’m mixing colours like the  artist does
Picasso of pharmaceuticals

Prescription addiction
I’m living the dream
Riding that serotonin dopamine stream
Side effects? 
Oh, they don’t scare me
Small price for feeling anxiety-free!
Prescription addiction
Oh what a thrill
Swallowing my problems like a daily refill

They say “Maybe you should slow it down”
My happy pills keep me off the ground
Sure my memory’s a little bit hazy
Who needs details when you feel this crazy?

Doctor, doctor, what’s the new fix?
Give me something fun let’s remix
I’ll take a side of focus hold the shakes
Maybe throw in pill for cake!

Prescription addiction
I’m living the dream
Riding that serotonin dopamine stream
Side effects? 
Oh, they don’t scare me
Small price for feeling anxiety-free!
Prescription addiction
Oh what a thrill
Swallowing my problems like a daily refill

Swallowing my problems like a daily refill
Swallowing my problems like a daily refill
Swallowing my problems like a daily refill
Swallowing my problems like a daily refill

Beneath the Shell (2025) - If life were a bug...
Inspired by Kafka's surreal novels, this song is questioning our very existence. What if life has no purpose at all and everything boils down into a cacophony of accidents? Some bugs undergo metamorphosis, others will stay the same. Heavy metalcore riffs meet synthesizers and weltschmerz.

You Want Fire

Enigmatic

Concept
The Hunger is the moment the Abyss reveals its true face.
After being lured by familiar voices and memories, the protagonist finally sees the entity that has been stalking him since the moment he crossed the threshold.
It is not a creature of flesh or bone, but a vast, ancient intelligence made of shadow, instinct, and need.
It shapes itself from fear.
It learns from longing.
It feeds on broken hearts and the pieces of the self left unguarded.
“The Hunger” is not just something in the Abyss.
It is the Abyss.
The soundscape is suffocating, immense, and relentless — the embodiment of something that has waited ages for a soul to wander too far from the light.
Visual Concept
The cover art depicts a lone figure facing a colossal shadow-beast, its glowing eyes burning like coals through the darkness.
Volumetric blue lighting reveals only hints of its form:
curling tendrils, jagged silhouettes, a shape too large and too wrong to fully comprehend.
The man stands small, illuminated only by the faint glow around him — a spark of resistance against a world designed to consume him.
This is the instant where fear becomes revelation.
Place in the Album Narrative
At this point in THE ABYSS:
The protagonist has seen memories, ghosts, and illusions.
He has survived predators and temptations.
He has followed a voice he hoped was real.
Now he encounters the truth behind it all:
a being that hungers not for flesh, but for identity, longing, and hope.
This track is the turning point where survival becomes a question of will rather than escape.
For the Listener
Listen in the quiet between notes.
Feel the air tighten around each breath.
Let the weight of the dark press inward.
This is not just a monster.
This is the Abyss…
and it is hungry.

The Hunger

Multi-genre composer and producer. I write full band rock, metal, pop and blues arrangements to collaborate with vocalists and instrumentalists. 100% human made art.

⚠️Technical issues
My distributor's contract with SoundCloud only offers uploads for 30 countries. There is not much I can do about that, because I need their services for my complex collab situation. If you can't play my songs here, please follow me on any other streaming platform. Just follow the buy link of the individual song.

🎵November 2025
Creatively, it's been a bit quiet lately, so I'm focussing on finishing projects from the last 3 years, and re-releasing my discography. I won't be writing and collaborating until I'm feeling inspired again. In the meantime, feel free to listen and comment. Thank you so much for your support!
