The Moment... - Reýem
A moment that changes everything.

“The Moment...” is an intense sound painting - a song that takes its listeners on a deeply emotional journey. Gentle piano sounds and delicate strings open up the space for inner images, memories and feelings that have long been hidden.

But this moment does not remain quiet: Deep, vibrating bass and the raw grinding and scratching of guitars break in - unadorned, honest, powerful. Every note, every nuance gets under your skin and makes you feel the emotional moments with all your senses.

The powerful melody combines sensuality with strength, gentleness with depth - and creates a unique moment that touches, moves and resonates.

“The Moment...” is not just a song. It is a feeling.

The Moment...

Prelude 5 (D♭) is in my favourite key. Like Chopin’s Prelude Op. 28 No. 4 (E minor), this shifts harmonically in a subtle way, one note at a time. The left hand has the melody until the climatic moments. Augmented chords help to provide more colour. Sheet music at https://www.australiancomposers.com.au/search?q=rachel+hocking

Echoes of Tomorrow

didn’t get the invite?
cool.
they’re the ones missing out 🐍💅🏽

cold-blooded is a reminder that you’re not uncool just ‘cause someone else is cold 🍃

Cold Blooded is a power pop/indie pop anthem that came out of a moment that felt both ridiculous and real. I had a writing session the same day as a party I wasn’t invited to—thrown by people I once considered friends. I’d known about it for a while, but when the day actually came, it still stung. Instead of spiraling, I brought that energy into the studio, and the song poured out with my co-writers.

Produced by Nico Lapitino, the track is built on gritty, chugging guitars and layered with atmospheric textures. Cold Blooded balances punchy pop-rock energy with space to feel—it captures that blend of empowerment and vulnerability, feeling hurt but choosing to own it with confidence and bite.

This one’s for anyone who’s ever been iced out, betrayed, or underestimated—and came back stronger. A reminder that your time, presence, and loyalty are valuable. And anyone who doesn’t see that? Their loss.

Cold Blooded

[Intro]
I turned off the noise, let the silence in
Stepped outside and let the real life begin

[Verse 1]
No more headlines shouting through my phone
No more scrolling while I sit alone
I found my smile in a puppy’s face
Chasing tails in the backyard space

[Chorus]
It’s the simple things that make me whole
Like a child’s laugh or a heart-felt goal
Not a screen or a stream, just love on display
Watching the world in a natural way
I feel alive, I feel so free
The simple things mean everything to me

[Verse 2]
We played old board games on the porch that night
Fireflies dancing in soft twilight
Kittens curled up on my open lap
Kids spinning stories, sharing snacks

[Chorus]
It’s the simple things that make me whole
Like a child’s laugh or a heart-felt goal
Not a screen or a stream, just love on display
Watching the world in a natural way
I feel alive, I feel so free
The simple things mean everything to me

[Bridge]
Now I see the blessings in the mess
The messy joy, the sweet unrest
The little hands, the muddy feet
They bring me joy no post could beat

[Chorus]
It’s the simple things that make me whole
Like a child’s laugh or a heart-felt goal
Not a screen or a stream, just love on display
Watching the world in a natural way
I feel alive, I feel so free
The simple things mean everything to me

[Outro]
So I’ll stay here where the real things grow
With wagging tails and hearts that glow
Turn off the noise, and just be me
In the moment, wild and free

The Simple Things

The woodchip, old atari, moths. 
Footsteps on the pavement.
The lemon curd, a kerb, sunny spots. 
A chip on my shoulder.
I can not list what I've forgot.
I was not reaching for the top.

You gave me the eyes to see?
You showed me the recipe?
There's a remedy for you.
Perhaps if you gave me clues.
Does any of this count for you?
Nothing I do is on you.
Learned the rules.
After school.

I, windchill. Long walks in the rain. 
High heels on the pavement.
A thunder storm, forgetting names. 
Laying down in the rain.
Not many start out with a lot.
It would be nice to have had a shot.

You gave me the eyes to see?
You showed me the recipe?
There's a remedy for you.
Perhaps if you gave me clues.
Does any of this count for you?
Nothing I do is on you.
Learned the rules.
After school.
