~~LYRICS~~
(Music and lyrics by Zoe Konez)

All I want 
Is to live
In the way 
That I want
And for that
I will fight
For us both
‘Cos I want
To choose love
I choose love
Choose love
Choose love 

I can't change 
Who I am
Not for you
Or your God
I can give 
You my love
I can live
Like I should
I choose love
I choose love 
Choose love
Choose love

Can we find a way to be together in the same room again?
I'm still the same me (underneath)
You're still the same you (underneath)
Can we fight together for somewhere in the middle we can meet?
I'm still the same me (underneath)
You're still the same you (underneath)

I don't feel 
I'm extreme
But I fear
Your beliefs 
You just need
To meet me
And my friends
‘Cos we want
To choose love
I choose love
Choose love
Choose love 

I was just
Questioning
What it means 
To be me
And I think 
You should live
And let be 
All we need is this 
I choose love
I choose love 
Choose love
Choose love

Can we find a way to be together in the same room again?
I'm still the same me (underneath)
You're still the same you (underneath)
Can we fight together for somewhere in the middle we can meet?
I'm still the same me (underneath)
You're still the same you (underneath)

I choose love 
Choose love

~~LYRICS~~
(Music and lyrics by Zoe Konez)

I know, I over-romanticise 
The me and you, the us I fantasised
It’s true, I tried, there’s nothing there - you say it died
But there is a hesitation I cling to

Forever isn’t just a friend of mine
It keeps me from running wild 
Knowing that I’ll see you again
And everything will reconcile
Just in time to watch the world burn out

I’ll meet you at the end
We can be friends there
We can be anything we want
When everyone is gone
And we have nothing left
Alive, in the infinite
Forever there in the afterglow
I’ll meet you at the end

We do - we wait to find a resolution
Not how, just when, we know it won’t come yet
Comforting thoughts we make believe, just to get through life 
That we will find our place and make it right

Forever isn’t just a friend of mine
It keeps me from running wild 
Knowing that I’ll see you again
And everything will reconcile
Just in time to watch the world burn out

I’ll meet you at the end
We can be friends there
We can be anything we want
When everyone is gone
And we have nothing left
Alive, in the infinite
Forever there in the afterglow
I’ll meet you at the end

I’ll prove to you, you know the truth 
That we were always special, special
Just hold on to that piece of me, let me find you
Remember how we were so very special
I’ll meet you at the end
We can be friends there
We can be anything we want
When everyone is gone
And we have nothing left
Alive, in the infinite
Forever there in the afterglow
I’ll meet you at the end

Why do new ideas come wrapped in self-doubt? Every act of creation is an act of courage, a delicate balance of ambition and anxiety.

PROOF OF CONCEPT
©2025 Brian Hazard (ASCAP)

The craziest notion lurks inside my mind
(Come to the fore greatness)
The dream of a dying afterthought
(Light the fog)
Got nothing to prove to anyone but me
(Some of you may hate this)
A pioneer has to walk the walk
(Should I fall)

The here and now (ever after)
The why and how not yet aligned (twisting)
The strings we pull (tying knots our)
Conceptual visions defined
Enshrined

A novel idea becomes a prototype
(Here is my grand vision)
A complex machine of gears and cogs
(Interlocked)
With beaker in hand, wearing a white lab coat
(Chemical magician)
I beg that you won’t think me a fraud
(Should I fail)

DARKNESS
(Written by Zoe Konez)

I counted to ten
Just like you said
It comes round in circles
So now where?
I spaced out my breath
I wound the cassette
I waited forever for the end

So take another look into the darkness
You will find me
Out there
Take a little walk into the darkness
Come find me
Out there

When everything is
Overwhelming
Slip further towards her
My alternative
She’s just what you need
What you need to hear
Need to sink in deeper to release

So take another look into the darkness
You will find me
Out there
Take a little walk into the darkness
Come find me
Out there

And in the end we’ll say
We loved who we loved
And in the end we’ll say
I wish I’d felt it more

So take another look into the darkness
You will find me
Out there
Take a little walk into the darkness
Come find me
Out there

So take another look into the darkness
You will find me
Out there
Take a little walk into the darkness
Come find me
Out there

The wait is over.. “What Should I Become” is finally out!
If you want to support me, make sure to comment and share it with your friends… it helps so much more than you might think!

Instead of uploading a standard lyric video, I tried to find stock footage that suits the vibe of the song. Let me know if you prefer this type of video over the usual artwork videos I post.

Meaning of the song (for me):
This one is pretty personal, so here’s the backstory behind the lyrics.
After finishing school, I worked part-time at a supermarket for 8 years, always with one goal: to eventually quit and live off music. Long story short.. I quit my job 3 years ago and have been making a decent income ever since, purely from music.

But as my income grew, I realized I had to ask myself the most important questions all over again: “What is my goal?” “What kind of music do I want to make in the long run?” … “What should I become?”

For context: I sang on a lot of tracks for DJs and even started my own DJ project back then, simply because it was bringing in the most money. About a year ago, I started shifting my focus back to this project. It was a risky move, and I invested a lot of time and money to make it happen independently.. but it was sooo worth it.

For the first time, I gained real fans, and no label was telling me what kind of music I had to make. It’s a privilege to be able to do this. I mean, I worked in a shitty supermarket for a loooong time, and no one believed I’d ever be able to quit.

But I also realized it was kind of silly to think that making enough money with music would solve all my inner conflicts. Out of that spirit and those thoughts “what should I become" was born.

I don’t know if any of you even care about this kind of stuff, but if there’s anything you can take from it, it’s this: Never stop dreaming, because everything’s possible. And always ask yourself… “What should I become?”

What should I become

Living somewhere between The NeverEnding Story and The Chronicles of Narnia, “Find Me” tells the story of a youthful promise, a secret hiding place, and the years in between.

FIND ME
©2025 Brian Hazard (ASCAP) & Rainer Aschemeier (GEMA)

You know me
I’ll chase a shooting star
Even when it disappears

A childhood pact
A test of loyalty
We’ve endured for all these years

Beyond the wasteland dune
In the lair of the dragon rune
Under the mighty sea
Will you find me?

In the eye of the hurricane
In the notes of the last refrain
Inside the lion‘s den
Will you find me?

A secret place
We never said out loud
Where we vowed to meet again

I hold on tight with all my might
Somehow I still believe in magic
And reckless schemes

Far from the land where we began
Somehow I still believe in magic
And whispered dreams
