“‘Breathing Underwater’ is a reflection of reverence for the vastness of nature, an overwhelming force of which I’m only a tiny fragment. At the centre is the element of water, which for me is a symbol of calm and safety, yet also of isolation and numbness. This ambivalence mirrors the timeless inner journey toward self-reconciliation and wholeness. Underwater, everything feels different — like being suspended in a surreal state. To escape it, I must rise to the surface. Until then, I breathe underwater.”

– Calida Ray, 2025

On his new EP “Breathing Underwater”, Berlin singer, producer, and pianist Calida Ray continues to explore immersive worlds between R&B, ambient textures, electronica, and experimental jazz.

LYRICS
You Promised Me – by Lorraine Baron

Verse 1
Your moondust settled in my eyes
Your magic took me by surprise
You said you’d move heaven and earth
And I believed what I preferred

Chorus
You promised me the stars
You said the world was ours
You promised me the moon
I only wanted you

Verse 2
You said you needed some more time
I thought I’d maybe heard that line
You said love comes to those who wait
And now I fear what trust erased

Bridge
Why can’t we have it all
The splendid and the small
Why can’t we just believe
In magic guaranteed

You Promised Me

You Promised Me - 2021 Mix

a C÷M song (collaboration with https://soundcloud.com/allopenelectrics)

Space – you never told me ‘bout the pastures in your head
Face – you never told me ‘bout the actor's life you led

Walking through the silent timeline

Time – you never told me ‘bout the time it takes to learn
Crime – you never told me ‘bout the wasted time you burn
Hate – you never told me ‘bout the need to let it go
Wait –you never told me ‘bout the rustic lies you know 

Walking through the silent timeline

In your imagination, the fields and the sky, the wind  in your hair, in your mind’s eye
With nature your soul-mate, your bountiful friend, your loyal companion, love without end
A life without worries, anxiety free, a life without danger, a life without me
But that’s just a dream, a construction, in vain
The cruel rustic silence would crush you again

Rustic Silence (by C÷M )

"Diane, something happened last week that proved to be life changing. I went to a local music store in a town where I was holed up on an 
undercover mission. Nothing too intense, just some normal stake out kind of procedures. My cover allows me to practice my drums while I'm 
on duty. Best case ever. 

Anyway, Diane, while at said music store, trying to find a certain obscure ride cymbal, the store clerk who was helping me managed to drop a 
drum machine on my kick foot, giving me two hairline fractures. Diane, remind me to send a thank you card to the store clerk. I believe his name was 
Bradlee. He was very kind and helpful. 

While laying on the floor in pain, realizing I wouldn't be able to drum for a while, even if I did find that cymbal when I made it back to me feet, 
I decided I should let fate intervene and buy the drum maching that landed on my kick foot. Diane, D3 was right, the digitakt is a machine not to be 
taken lightly, pun intended. 

Needless to say, I've been anti drum machine my whole life until now. The guys jaws dropped when I sent them some fine soothing 
energy transferring electronic beats to play with for our new single. Diane, remind me to designa  foot cast that doesn't itch. 
- Coop."

Passenger Braking

if I were to cop a ride with you
I would brake so hard
you would die by shards

I shouldn't be mean
my mouth just won't stop
don't drive me crazy
I will crash your car
with my motherfucking mind power

if I could find pedals on my side
I would brake so fast
you would fly right past

I shouldn't be mean
my brain just won't stop
if you make me hate
I will crash your car
with my motherfucking mind power

passenger fails, my patience pales
I would brake so quick
that would do the trick

I shouldn't be mean
my jaw just won't stop
want to test your fate
I will crash your car
with my motherfucking mind power

Wolf Widow

In Marfa, Texas.
On the third day of May 1973.
A dust devil tore part of the dome off the Presidio County Courthouse.
During the subsequent repair a wax roll flight recorder was found attached to one of the roof spars.
The apparatus was brought to Marfa physics teacher Sul Ross for analysis.
Ross observations were the following:
The wax roll was partly melted.
Probably from flying too close to the sun due to the high content of Helium-4 iosotopes.
Embedden in the wax were also a profused amount of pollen.
The closest match for the very specific morfology of pollen is only to be found in the foothills of the Atlas range.

Uppon being played back on a Edison wax reel machine the roll crumbled to grains as it was rolling.

This is what Ross was able to transcribe in this one of session:

"Born by helium balloon
Infusion soon
Come, clear your creedence
Hail the balloon, the Led Zeppelin gloom
The clone war
Hail the balloon war
It is not a feature of this
It is not a feature of that
Le Singe royale
Elle e amoreux fou
Le Singe royale
El é amoreux fou
Half way house
We need a day and night place in time"

Then the apparatus caught fire and Ross passed out, intoxicated from the fumes.
He awoke the next day only to find the ruined roll and apparatus.
And his transcript.
