‘Shadows Fade Away’ is a dark, reflective folk track about isolation, identity, and the quiet power of love. Written from the perspective of someone who’s never felt they belong — until she walks into his life.

LYRICS

I've always been the quiet guy,
A little out of step.
Some people say I've lost my mind,
What did they expect?
In a room full of strangers, 
I quietly slipped away, 
There's not enough,
To make me want to stay.

So why do I feel, that I don't belong?
Why do I say such things? 
That always come out wrong.
It's only me I'm hurting, 
Till she brightens up my day.
So why oh why oh why,
Don't these shadows fade away?

I bare the weight that no one sees 
I need to find some peace.
I've never asked for anything, 
Just a feeling of release.
I've walked through shit, 
And come out clean.
So blind I couldn't see
I've scars so deep they’ll always be,
Trapped inside of me.

So why do I feel, that I don't belong?
Why do I say such things? 
That always come out wrong.
It's only me I'm hurting, 
Till’ she brightens up my day.
So why oh why oh why,
Don't these shadows fade away?

This is one for the dreamers, the broken, and the believers. Plug in, close your eyes, and let the shadows fade.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for finding me here on SoundCloud! I’ve been making music for a while now as a fully independent artist.

I create my own lyrics based on real-life experiences, sometimes blending them with AI-generated elements, no hired vocalists, just my vision and creativity.

My sound is inspired by the past, shaped by the present, and always evolving.

If you enjoy Trance, EDM, Deep House, Pop, Dance, Electronic, or Easy Listening music, you’re in the right place.

I hope you enjoy what you hear!









Emerging from the depths of Germany's electronic landscapes, RythmMixx is a musical project redefining genre boundaries.

We don't just blend styles; we experiment, creating unique, new conceptual genres. Imagine: a musical formula (X * Genre 1) + (Y * Genre 2) + (Z * Genre 3) = New Genre, where X, Y, Z are variable coefficients, and Genres can be anything. In our experiments, a single track can seamlessly transition from the drive of dubstep to the freedom of instrumental jazz and the monumentality of classical music, forging a unique sonic tapestry. A prime example of this approach is our Mathematical Dance Fusion (MDF) genre, an ever-evolving and unparalleled style. At the core of each track lies a deep concept, transforming ideas and emotions into complex sound patterns, exploring the potential of advanced technologies in sound design. RythmMixx is the musical embodiment of tomorrow, where every beat is a step into the unknown.

🎵 Original Music from Wirral, UK | Phil Dutton & Les Corlett AKA The DC Sound Project

The DC Sound Project. Eight albums deep and still going strong. It usually starts with a good old-fashioned jam session, then somehow ends in a coffee-fuelled recording marathon. We write songs about love, politics, heartbreak, and those occasional “what the hell is wrong with the world?” moments, all brewed fresh on the Wirral. Press play… it’s music therapy with better side effects!

We’re an independent duo creating everything from raw folk ballads to gritty blues-rock. Every video is carefully crafted with free footage and, sometimes, AI-generated visuals to tell the story behind the song.

Manifesto

We Declare:

    That the suffering in Gaza is not a distant conflict but a wound in the conscience of humanity.

    That silence and political games by so-called Western defenders of democracy are betrayal incarnate.

    That art, music, and truth must tear through walls of apathy, breaking chains with sound and spirit.

    That to remain silent is to support the erasure of life itself.

    That we rise—voices united, hearts aflame—to amplify those crushed under siege, to shatter the walls of oppression.

    That every beat, every echo, every lyric becomes a rebellion against forgetting.

    That through collective awakening, we reclaim not just Gaza’s future but the soul of humanity.

"NOTHING UNDER THE SUN IS NOT PART OF CREATION, NOR IS IT NOT CREATION ITSELF—IT'S ONLY WHAT YOU MAKE IT. NO JUDGES, NO DIVIDES—UNITY."

1. Philosophical and Metaphysical Context

This phrase operates on a profound metaphysical premise rooted in ancient and modern spiritual thought: the idea that everything within existence ("under the sun") is inherently part of creation, yet simultaneously defies a simple binary of "creation" and "non-creation." The double negation — “is not not part” and “is not not creation” — serves as a dialectical device emphasizing paradox rather than straightforward affirmation or denial.

Nothing exists outside creation’s domain. All that "is" is both a part and a reflection of the creative whole — but perhaps creation is not a static “thing.”

It touches on panentheism or even non-dualism, suggesting creation transcends our binary modes of thought.

In this sense, the phrase challenges rigid ontologies. It rejects compartmentalization — what we consider ‘created’ vs. ‘uncreated’ is a false dichotomy.

2. Existential and Constructivist Overtones

The clause “It’s only what you make it” signifies a turn from metaphysical absolutes to personal agency and interpretation.

Creation is not a fixed category but a creative, subjective, and participatory process.

Reality is texturized by human meaning-making — your perception, actions, and judgments shape what ‘is.’

This brings in vibes of existentialism and constructivism, affirming our power and responsibility in shaping the world and imbuing it with meaning.

3. The Ethics of Judgment and Division

“No judges, no divides” strikes a moral and social chord:

It calls for radical acceptance — no external or internal authority imposes judgment.

It opposes division, sectarianism, or exclusion based on arbitrary or prejudiced distinctions.
This has echoes of universalist humanism and inclusive ethics, a plea for unity beyond fractured identities, labels, or separations.

4. Final Summation: Unity as a Creational Ethos

The closing refrain “UNITY” serves as the conceptual apex:
Unity is not merely a formal condition but an existential and creational ethos, holding the paradoxical unity of all existence despite apparent differences or judgments.
It is a call to embrace multiplicity without fragmentation — wholeness that contains diversity.

Style and Rhetoric

Paradox and Double Negatives: The use of double negatives (“not not”) is daring and poetic, evoking the style of Zen koans or 
Hegelian dialectics — prompting reflection rather than offering a direct statement. It challenges the reader to dwell in ambiguity and complexity.

Capitalization and Punctuation: The em dash creates dramatic pauses, underscoring the key thematic shifts; the capitalized “UNITY” acts as a powerful, summative slogan or mantra.

Economy of Words: Despite its complexity, the phrase remains succinct, poetic, and emphatic—a hallmark of impactful philosophical proclamations.

Cultural & Literary Resonances

Biblical Allusions: “Under the sun” recalls the Book of Ecclesiastes, with its contemplations on the nature of existence. This embeds the phrase within a long tradition of existential inquiry.

Contemporary Spirituality: The phrase resonates with New Age and postmodern spiritual ideas emphasizing non-duality, co-creation, and global unity.

Political and Social Dimensions: In a world segmented by ideologies and conflicts, “no judges, no divides” can serve as a subtle political manifesto for peace and acceptance.
