Used an old GarageBand sample that I love to death for this...This song's  chorus is kinda messy but also as honest and raw as it gets... (sounds better with headphones)

"Broken" is a song I wrote a few months ago in late fall. It deals with feelings of abandonment, depression and low self-worth that are closely intertwined with the beautiful, yet sad and melancholic season of fall. Hope you enjoy!

Lyrics: 
Here we are amidst the broken
Thinking all about the past
New leaves fall
As our final words are spoken
The sky gets dark
As if to say it'd never last

Ooooh
Ooooh

The sunset casts lights of dark golden
I'm striding, solemn, through the park
A lonely girl
Bidding farewell unbeholden
The wound is cold
In the place it left it's mark

Oooh
Oooh

A wilted rose
The days of begging long forgotten
All alone
It's left to wither, scar and die

Oooh
Oooh
Broken, Broken, Broken, Broken

Broken

Unchain Me (Rough Demo)

I made this cover around last christmas! Hope you enjoy!

A Place Called Home

Unknown Pain

This is one of my latest songs.
It's pretty emotional and melancholic, and tells of the beauties of the night. Check it out, if you're into dark and heartfelt music ;)

Mirkwood (In The Night) (Ballad Version)

As I love 'My Immortal' by Evanescence, and because it's always been the most inspiring song to me, not only as a singer, but also as a songwriter, I've done a cover of it once again...It's almost become a tradition to record this song once a year, to see how I've improved , not only on vocals, but also on the piano :) Check it out and tell me what you think ;)

My Immortal (Vocal & Instrumental Cover)

The song 'Enjoy The Silence' is a huge inspiration to me, especially the cover version of the band 'Lacuna Coil'! That's why I decided to do a cover on it and upload it on here to share my love and passion for this song with you guys! Enjoy! ;)

Lyrics:
I have lost
Agony, you've won
And now just go away
There's just too much
I can't overcome
It's changed me to the point of no return
Sick of trying to give it a try

Chorus:
'Cause I'm gone
All alone

I feel no more
You sucked it all out of me
And now please let me go
Sick of people who don't understand 

Chorus:
That I'm gone
All alone
So cold
Let me go

Let me go...

Sick

Lyrics:
Hear me out
Doesn't mean leave me behind
I thought you'd know
How can I make you understand
Your eyes are full of fake concern
But now I can see your gleeful grin

Chorus:
Humanity's gone, no hope
For all eternity
You had your chance, to make amends
But you never cared at all

2.
Go on
Stare me down
You can't endure people like me
Take a look
At yourselves
You look like clones without a soul
Your eyes are full of fake disgust
But you cannot hide your envious core

Chorus:
Humanity's gone, no hope
For all eternity
You had your chance, to make amends
But you never cared at all

Bridge:
Heed my words
Don't make the same mistakes I made
Stand up, stand tall
This is the only way you win
They're lurking and waiting for their prey
So many puppets, no free will
Break through the wall

Chorus:
Humanity's gone, no hope
For all eternity
You had your chance, to make amends
But you never cared at all

Humanity's gone, no hope
For all eternity
You had your chance to make amends
But you'll never care at all

Lyrics:
It was the darkest night the world had seen, 
The wind was howling, strong with grief 
The trees were whispering in silence, 
Longing for moonlight's streaks

A mirkwood in all glory, 
The place I feel at ease 
So dark, so deep, so desolate; 
Reflecting my beliefs

'Cause I want to feel the magic of the night 
The mystery, the shadows on all sides 
Find my prince of darkness, oh could I 
Be the one who breaks the chains of ice
I want to live...

In the night 
It's where I do belong 
I'd like to be 
The Queen of Darkness and Night 
Let it go 
Daylight is like poison 
For moonlight is my call

The light takes all my energy, 
Too bright, too ordinary
The sun slowly burns me away

I couldn't stand this feeling;
The weight too much to bear 
It makes me long for peaceful silence, 
where I can be myself

'Cause I want to feel the magic of the night
The mystery, the shadows on all sides
Find my prince of darkness, oh could I
Be the one who breaks the chains of ice

'cause In the night
It's where I do belong
I'd like to be
The queen of Darkness and Night
Let it go
Daylight is like poison
For moonlight is my call

Lyrics of Chorus: Can Altundas

Savior ( feat. Joe Seigler)

Hey guys! I published a new song a few days ago, and it's called "Your Spell".

"Your Spell" is a song I wrote and recorded back in 2017 after being inspired by the beautiful artwork of a haunted and lonely-looking vampire lady by Anne Stokes. It's meant to be a goth rock song, but due to the lack of heavier instruments, I've decided to upload a piano version until I find the right people to collaborate with. The song deals with romantic feelings between a vampire and a demon killer. Both keep denying their love for each other, but in the end, they "break the rules" and escape the boundaries of their respective worlds.

Your Spell

"All Forgotten" is a heartfelt song about all the various emotions and feelings that I'm dealing with at the moment. It deals with my feelings of abandonment, the soothing effect winter has on me, my anger directed towards people that have disappointed me in the past, and towards the hypocritical way our society functions. Hope you can relate to some level and find some solace in knowing you're not the only person in the world who's having a tough time at the moment....Or maybe you'll just enjoy the ambient melody / music if nothing else works for you, whatever lol. Hope you enjoy! :)

All Forgotten

A rough demo of a song I've been working on :) It's not perfect yet, but I'm working on it ^^

Descend To Rise Again

Legacy (Rough Demo)

Here's the latest roughly mixed demo song of mine <3 It's called "World of Music". And, as the name suggests, this song is dedicated to my longest and most treasured friend in my life, Music. Music has always been a steady companion of mine throughout my life. It was a shoulder to cry on, a way to express deepest thoughts and feelings I'd never dare say out loud otherwise, and a way for me to deal with hardships, mental issues, grief, joy, and basically everything that's hard to express with mere words. I don't think about which chords to use, which notes to use, or which rhythm to go for when composing a song. All I think of during the writing process is what music would be suitable for a sad moment, for a happy moment, for a moment of grief, and so on....what would my personal sadness sound like? what would my personal joy sound like? If I were in a movie, what would the soundtrack be like.....in a nutshell, I don't see music as something theoretical. I perceive it as something magical, ever-changing and unpredictable, changing its color and shape depending on my mood and on my feelings. It's not something that can be truly grasped, not even with the most detailed notation.  Music, much like feelings in general, shouldn't be measured or analysed. It should be felt, treasured and remembered....fondly.... or not.....

World Of Music (Demo)

"Your Eyes" is a song that is dedicated to a person that is very special to me; someone I dearly admire, and someone with an outstanding personality which has captivated me. This person is known to have beautiful, but sad eyes....eyes that are expressive and soulful to me.....

Lyrics:
It’s all in your eyes
Your look seems so tortured 
I don’t know what has happened to you
But you’re looking so hopeless

Please just do not look away 
Tell me what I can do 
Nothing 
Nothing 
I’ll show you that we can make it

Why are you being so cruel 
Your eyes 
Your eyes speak volumes to me

Why won’t you show 
What’s going on inside 
You’re trying so hard to ignore 
It all with just a smile

Please just be honest to me 
I will be there with you 
With every step that you’ll take 
You can hold on to me

Why are you being so sad 
Your eyes 
Your eyes speak volumes to me

Please just smile

Your Eyes

"If Only" is a song I wrote a while back. I put every ounce of emotion into it, as it reflects the feelings and struggles I'm currently dealing with. Hope you like it!

Lyrics:
Why am I so afraid 
To walk the rightful way 
What’s going on inside
Why do I have to hide? 
When will I understand 
That my life will decay 
Lying on my bed
Only leads to loneliness

I take one step 
Only to take several thousand back 
I could erase my mistakes on my own 
If only I was strong

Oh how I now regret
The days I wasted for so long 
I didn’t realize 
I’ve shunned the entire world 
How can I help myself? 
If there is nothing left for me 
Lying on my bed
Has only taught me misery

I take one step only to 
Take several thousand back 
I can’t erase my mistakes on my own 
I take one step only to 
Take several thousand back 
I could erase my mistakes on my own 
If only I was strong

Just look around 
You’ve confined yourself in 
Make-believe
And thoughts that nothing ever changes
For too long

I take one step only to
Take several thousand back 
I could erase my mistakes on my own
I take one step only to 
Take several thousand back 
I could erase my mistakes on my own 
If only I was strong 
I gotta be strong 
If only I was strong 
If only I was wrong

This song was made after enjoying the beauty of nature on a beautiful spring day last year. There's something so magical about a breeze of fresh wind sometimes, don't you agree? Experiencing a fresh amount of wind and sunlight on a day that's neither hot nor cold, but just the right temperature is unbelievably amazing....it gives me a sense of freedom and pleasant "lightness" that I don't experience all too often nowadays...and it makes it all the easier to have beautiful daydreams.

These Fantasies

This song was heavily influenced by the relationship (with a creepily romantic undercurrent) between two individuals in a thriller I watched a while ago. A sociopathic and two-faced serial killer tries to turn another person into one of his accomplices by slowly making him lose his sanity. The person tries to escape, but he's already within the serial killer's grasp and is more and more turning into the very thing he's trying to escape without even realizing it. This song is written from the sociopath's point of view. I recommend you all to watch it if you're into scary stuff, it's a korean thriller drama called "Strangers From Hell". Hope you enjoy!

Lyrics:
Here in this town
Hidden away 
All of my pain 
For so many years 

Now the time’s come 
No longer prevail 
All of this mess 
Will fade away 

So I’ll 
Go, through all those fears 
The ones that keep holding me back from my way 
The time has come 
Becoming a monster 

All of my dreams 
All that I am 
I’ll cast it away 

For a new life 
For a new fight 
Who will prevail 
Who will survive 

And I will repay 
(All the things that you did and I’ll)
Make you regret 
Your damaging greed 
The dreams that you killed 
And I’ll stay strong 
I’ll go on ain’t nothing gonna stop me in the end 

Hear me just once 
Here in the dark 
Praying so hard 
Salvation’s not far

Everything I’ve done 
To be the one I am
So long I’ve prevailed 
And now it’s my time 

So I’ll 
Go, through all those fears 
The ones that keep holding me back from my way 
The time has come 
Becoming a monster 

All of my dreams 
All that I am 
I’ll cast it away 

For a new life 
For a new fight 
Who will prevail 
Who will survive 

And I will repay 
(All the things that you did and I’ll)
Make you regret 
Your damaging greed 
The dreams that you killed 
And I’ll stay strong 
I’ll go on ain’t nothing gonna stop me in the end 

Prayers, and wishes, and dreams they all kept me in line 
Swirling so fast 
The hope of the blessed 

Sickness, and nightmares, and weakness 
They tore me apart 
I couldn’t prevent the hurt of the damned 

All of my dreams 
All that I am 
I’ll cast it away 

For a new life 
For a new fight 
Who will prevail 
Who will survive 

And I will repay 
(All the things that you did and I’ll)
Make you regret 
Your damaging greed 
The dreams that you killed 
And I’ll stay strong 
I’ll go on ain’t nothing gonna stop me in the end

Lyrics:
In the rain 
My tears will all wash away 
The cold preserves me 
From all the years to face 

Aaah, oh rain don’t go away
Aaah, oh rain don’t go away

Who needs all the sun 
If darkness is my home 
Like a sweet lullaby, these soothing sounds

Aaah, oh rain don’t go away 
Aaah, oh rain don’t go away

Suddenly I feel the sun has given in 
And now we’re lost and all just wandering on the streets 

Aaah, oh rain go away
Aaah, when will the rain go away

Aaah, oh rain go away
Aaah, when will the rain go away

Lyrics:
We’re done 
There’s no use 
Let’s go 
It’s all the end 

I thought there was 
A way for us 
But no, it’s all too late 

Hear the voices of harmony 
It’s time for the choir to sing  
And it goes 

Now 
Let’s close our eyes 
The pains of our would left behind 
And now we will 
Embrace the flames 
A pain we’ve been longing to face  

Hear the voices of harmony 
It’s time for the choir to sing  
And it goes

Neliya (formerly “Nikki Angels”) is a 28 year old Singer-songwriter from Cologne, Germany. Since the age of 3, she's been exposed to English and Persian ballads, as she was born to Persian parents who enjoy both traditional and international music. Consequently, her music is heavily influenced by both western and oriental tunes. At the age of 10, she started taking vocal and keyboard lessons for about three years before taking lessons at a more professional music school at the age of 15. As she loves both classical and pop/rock music, she started to combine elements from these genres to create her own unique sound. In 2013, Neliya participated in the german music competition 'Jugend Musiziert' and won the first prize in the regionals, as well as the second prize in the nationals.
In 2015, she started collaborating with the German music producer Florian Maier and his independent label kms, working on several of her own songs.
Neliya puts strong emphasis on emotion when she writes and performs. She believes that music has the ability to be everything humans desire, especially during their darkest times: Be it a shoulder to cry on, a portal to a more beautiful and colorful world, or simply a wonderful masterpiece to delve into like a good book. She wants her music to captivate and touch the heart and soul of her listeners. Instead of trying to adapt to the world of music as it is today, she's striving to make a change. Her musical influences include Breaking Benjamin, ABBA, Evanescence, Enya, and composer John Williams.

“My songs are like a diary to me, my voice serves as the pen I use to write. At the end of the day, the memories and feelings I relive when re-reading that diary are what makes it all so special to me. Every song is a fond memory. As I start to perform each, they instantly remind me of a particular feeling I experienced during the writing process. Music truly transcends the dimension of time.”
