Caspian - "Separation No. 2"

Evangeline

A live piano cover of Big Thief’s How Could I Have Known; recorded at home in one take; close and unpolished

I love how this song moves from that first meeting by the river to standing alone by the Eiffel Tower; holding a love that feels timeless even as it ends. It feels like watching a whole relationship in a few moments of memory; part heartbreak; part spiritual wake up

This is my late night version; intimate; reflective and a bit raw

Original song by Big Thief

PAROLES - LETRAS - LYRICS :

Je le sais
Sa façon d'être à moi parfois vous déplait
Autour d'elle et moi le silence se fait
Mais elle est
Ma préférence à moi

Oui je sais
Cet air d'indifférence qui est sa défense
Vous fait souvent offense
Mais quand elle est parmi mes amis de faïence
De faïence
Je sais sa défaillance

Je le sais
On ne me croit pas fidèle à ce qu'elle est
Et déjà vous parlez d'elle à l'imparfait
Mais elle est
Ma préférence à moi

Il faut le croire
Moi seul je sais quand elle a froid
Ses regards ne regardent que moi
Par hasard elle aime mon incertitude
Par hasard j'aime sa solitude

Il faut le croire
Moi seul je sais quand elle a froid
Ses regards ne regardent que moi
Par hasard elle aime mon incertitude
Par hasard j'aime sa solitude

Je le sais
Sa façon d'être à moi parfois vous déplait
Autour d'elle et moi le silence se fait
Mais elle est
Elle est ma chance à moi
Ma préférence à moi
Ma préférence à moi

A melancholic, peaceful melody and beautiful lyrics.

In Gowan Ring - Moonlit Missive #30: Tendrils of the Vine

olliray makes emotive, cinematic music that sits between intimate piano ballads and modern electronic soundscapes. A singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from London, he blends live piano and guitar with textured production to create songs that feel close and expansive at the same time.

Alongside his original work, he records stripped-back piano and guitar covers of songs he loves. These late-night performances sit naturally beside his own writing, shaped by the same focus on atmosphere, storytelling and emotional detail.

He had a short spell of violin lessons when he was younger; everything else on piano, guitar and production is self-taught. That instinctive path runs through his music; he writes, plays and shapes his songs by ear, chasing what feels honest rather than what follows the rulebook.

His debut single BoxRox and first album Stuck in Traffic captured a raw, lyric-driven phase where he produced and sang everything himself. Between followed, pushing further into experimental electronic textures. He then released Piano for Yoga, a live, meditative piano recording created in a single continuous flow for a yoga video soundtrack.

In 2024 he returned to his roots with Lost Romance, an album built from songs written 18 years earlier and revisited with a more reflective, nostalgic perspective. It moves between gentle piano pieces and fuller arrangements, tying his early ideas to the sound he has grown into now.

He is currently working on new music that continues to blur the lines between acoustic songwriting and electronic production, always searching for the balance between warmth, space and emotional weight.

For a first listen, start with Stuck in Traffic or How Long if you want reflective, cinematic songwriting, then explore the Covers Playlist to hear his take on songs by artists he loves. Fans of Bon Iver, Ben Howard, Nick Mulvey, Coldplay and M83 may feel at home in his world.
