Name: The Shadow of Your Own by North Of Neon
Duration: 3 min 8 s
Description: About coming of age. The feeling of being both a young adult and an old child. Exciting and scary at the same time. And to be an adult witnessing this process. We all have at some point been in the shadow of our own.

Verse 1:
You always start a show
And I fall asleep
You like to hog the bed
While I steal the sheets
The kitchen light is on
But we forgot to eat
It’s alright
It’s alright

We’re always making plans
Then we change our minds
I forget the date
You forget the time
But somehow babe
It all works out fine
It’s alright
It’s alright

Chorus 1:
Cause when it’s all been said and done
Take the doggies on the run
Together we have so much fun
Before the party has begun

Verse 2:
Sitting on the porch
Strumming my guitar
While you paint the house
Splashing on the car
We don’t have a clue
Who the neighbors are
It’s alright
It’s alright

Chorus 1:
Cause when it’s all been said and done
Take the doggies on the run
Together we have so much fun
Before the party has begun

Chorus 2:
Cause you say come and hold me tight
And you say everything’s alright

Verse 3:
You call me on the phone
I don’t answer
I never can remember
The password
You never let me get in
The last word
It’s alright
It’s alright

Chorus 1:
Cause when it’s all been said and done
Take the doggies on the run
Together we have so much fun
Before the party has begun

Chorus 1:
Cause when it’s all been said and done
Take the doggies on the run
Together we have so much fun
Before the party has begun

Chorus 2:
Cause you say come and hold me tight
And you say it just feels so right
And you say it’s a lovely life
And you say everything’s alright

Chorus 1:
Cause when it’s all been said and done
Take the doggies on the run
Together we have so much fun
Before the party has begun

Before The Party Has Begun

I hate being so cynical
I hate feeling so
Cautious and jaded and scared

What has made us this way?
Who has led us so far astray?
Surely this can’t be
All we can be

Can we undo it all?
Lay down the armor
Of smooth and easy insincerity

Oh, how good would that be?  

I hate being so hard
I hate going through motions
And feeling so dead inside

Sometimes this isolation is crushing me
And it’s hard to figure out how I should be
How I can be
Different

Can we undo it all
With openness, courage and love?
Can I reach out to you?
And you to me?

Oh, how good would that be?

Different

I Know This Turn
You stop asking for signs. You start recognizing the rhythm.
The spiral isn’t confusing anymore. It’s yours.

Lyrics:

"They’ll call you crazy," 
they always do,
say you’re chasing 
things no one pursues.
They’ll roll their eyes, 
they’ll shake their heads,
“Who are you to dream that big?” they said.

They don’t understand,
you were made for this.
They won’t see it coming,
you carry the gift.
You hold the strength,
you bring the shift.

“You know nothing,” 
they will shout,
“Where’s your title? 
What’s your route?”
They’ll laugh and point 
from their safe ground,
while you’re building storms 
without a sound.

They don’t understand,
you were made for this.
They won’t see it coming,
you carry the gift.
You hold the strength,
you bring the shift.

You walk alone, 
but not in fear,
your fire speaks 
when none will hear.
Born with light 
they tried to dim,
but stars don’t ask 
the world to grin.

Let them doubt, let them resist,
true change was never born to fit.
The wheel of life won’t place you high or low
it takes you where you’re meant to go.
But only a few know how to draw
the map that leads through fire and flaw.

They don’t understand,
you were made for this.
They won’t see it coming,
you carry the gift.
You hold the strength,
you bring the shift.

So stand your ground 
and face the fire,
you were never meant 
to just admire.
The world will change 
because you stayed—
not when they clapped,
but when they swayed.

The wheel of life

Intro is from 1946 film ‘Its a wonderful life’

V1:
I saw a shadow in the rain
It spoke to me
It wore your voice and knew my name
Never to leave

PC:
Try to see things from my side
How much I put on the line
I don’t think that you noticed
Doesn’t matter either way
What I do nor what I say
It never did 

C1:
Said it’s pulling me in 
I will let down
Everything you love
Until I’m not around
Don’t step in my direction
Coz all I’ve ever found
Is how to make you bleed from shutting you out

Bridge:
Give me something to burn

V2:
I run but when it rains it pours
Are you surprised 
She hides the clock beneath the floor (8)
I lose the time

PC:
Try to see things from my side
How much I put on the line
Have you ever noticed 
Seems not to matter either way
What I do nor what I say
It never did 

C2:
Said it’s pulling me in 
I will let down
Everything you love
Until I’m not around
Don’t step in my direction
All I’ve ever found
Is how to make you bleed from shutting you out

Said it’s pulling me in 
I will let down
Everything you love
Until I’m not around
Don’t step in my direction
All I’ve ever found
Is how to make you bleed from shutting you out

Give me something to burn

Burn

The enchantment of long distance love. Connection and creativity in a magical dimension.

Come Closer

Deepest Desire - Stay (Just coffee)

New album "Heart & Mind" out August 29th, where you stream music.


North Of Neon is a mix of variety.

The songs are based on texts, lyrics, poems, melodies, beats andbideas made and developed over two decades.

If you have any questions how the music is made and the process, just feel free to ask.

And thank you so much for all the listens, likes and reactions. I do this first and foremost for myself, but it's really fun if anything is in the likes of others.

I guess NoN is offering some Neon Lights. Some winter nights.
And surely some crap as well.

Take care out there!:)
