‘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.

SHADOWS FADE AWAY

Metal, all kinds, all kinds of compositions.  There is no such thing as a bad recording, only missed opportunities to explore ourselves and make ourselves better than the last cycle.  Love you all.  Metal forever.

Updates:  Re-recording (whoops :-D )

Here I would like to present music composed and produced by myself (multitracking guitars, bass, and drums) and pieces that were created in the context of various bands since 1990. Some of the tracks are completely worked out, some are demos, some are from jam sessions, and some are live recordings. When relevant, in each single track the band name is given, the respective players are listed, and details as to the background of the music are presented.
All drawings and paintings were done by myself and, in some cases, by my wife, Andrea.

🎵 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.
