Needless (2008) – Dealing with self-pity and doubts
Driven by an electric piano, Needless is an indie pop ballad that explores a silent heartbreak. Self-doubt can destroy the best relationship, especially when you feel inferior to your partner. Dreamy synthesizers meet picked acoustic guitars, an anthem for anyone who ever felt too small to be loved and chose to disappear.

Descent to the Abyss

Broken Waltz (2007) - Classical waltz meets synth pop
Most pop and rock music sticks to the 4/4 time signature — steady, predictable, and easy to groove to. But after multiple years of songwriting, I felt the itch to break away from the norm and shifted into 6/8, a time signature that instantly reminded me of a classical waltz. However, classical music was never my territory, so I layered some simple pop drums. In the end, the track landed somewhere unexpected. It‘s an outlier in my discography, something I never wrote before. It feels like the soundtrack to a movie I haven‘t seen yet, and probably never will.

Lyrics:

Verse 1
Neon veins across a rusted sky
The data weeps, the circuits start to die
Synthetic prayers fall flat and cold
No algorithm can save a soul

Pre-Chorus
Circles spiral into dust (We traded truth for mirrored lies)
Faith corroded into rust (Then watched the sun implode inside our eyes)
History repeats with sterile grace 
A mirror cracked across all space

Chorus
We find the truth we left behind
No light, no gods, no grand design
Just echoes in a dead skyline
Collapse becomes our only friend
We are the end


Verse 2
Oceans rise with a frozen scream
Time unfolds like a broken dream
A paradise we forged in flame
Now no one's left to speak its name

Pre-Chorus
Circles spiral into dust (We traded truth for mirrored lies)
Faith corroded into rust (Then watched the sun implode inside our eyes)
History repeats with sterile grace 
A mirror cracked across all space

Chorus
We find the truth we left behind
No light, no gods, no grand design
Just echoes in a dead skyline
Collapse becomes our only friend
This is the END

THE END!

The End

Late at night he sees her face,
A reminder of his sin,
Forever more,
He feels her scorn,
Writhe beneath the skin,
Down hollow halls,
He hears her calls,
The echos of her weeps,
Until this day,
He'll see her ghost,
Pull him from his sleep,

Can they start again,
or does it all just end,
Together till the end,
Until it starts again

Her Ghost

Written, Performed and Produced by Sarah Paradise-Brown

I’ve been tracing shadows where we used to stand
Familiar places slipping through my hands
I feel your heart though it’s just far away
And I wonder if you feel the same

But I’m reaching out trying to close the distance
I’m holding on through the fear and resistance
With every step I take I’ll hold you near
Cause I’m not giving up I’ll be right here

Sometimes I feel the weight of things unsaid
The silent spaces bring doubt in my head
I’m learning to quiet the voice that feeds my fear
But I need to know you'll always here

So I’m reaching out trying to close the distance
I’m holding on through the fear and resistance
With every step I take I’ll hold you near
Cause I’m not giving up I’ll be right here

I know I’ve got my own fight inside
But I see the struggle you try to hide
We’re two souls searching for common ground
So let’s meet in the middle, let’s turn this around

So I’m reaching out trying to close the distance
I’m holding on, through the fear and resistance
With every step I take I’ll hold you near
Cause I’m not giving up I’ll be right here

Close The Distance

Hello, voidlings. It took a bit of more time than usual, but I finally composed another original song. Thematically, this is sort of a parallel song to "The Girl with Silverine Eyes", but featuring a different character perspective (Lore Side Note: Contrary to what it may seem like, "Elle" is not actually the girl with silverine eyes). This song is sort of a mix of the usual post-rock style I make, but with hints of metalcore, and some orchestral instruments. Heavily inspired by the band Maybeshewill, so I suppose this is sort of an homage of sorts.

As you can see, this is also the first song featuring my original artwork. Can you guess the character?

Moving foward, all my songs will feature both my original music as well as original artwork, or an IRL live recording/guitar playthrough. This means my release schedule will be a bit slower since I also have to draw the art now too, if not record myself playing a specific guitar part. Also, some videos will have some nerdy lore drop portion, like below.
