Cold on the concrete, boots worn thin
Eyes like glass, soaked in gin
No name, no plan, no fight left to win
But he used to drive freight through the Oregon wind
Verse 1
He lost his job in a company slide
They said, "we’re downsizing," and smiled while he died
Mortgage unpaid, then she walked out the door
Now he sleeps with the rats near the grocery store
Verse 2
There’s a girl in the alley with eyes like fire
Numbed out on fentanyl, dressed in barbed wire
She talks to ghosts and sings in the rain
Used to dance ballet before the veins gave way
Verse 3
And the suits pass by with their collars tight
Averted gazes in the neon light
They clutch their phones like holy charms
Afraid to see themselves without their arms
Chorus
We’re just a few steps down,
From the edge of town
Where the cold don’t care
And the snow comes down
When your world caves in
And there’s no way out
You’re just a face in the crowd
Just a few steps down
Bridge
What do you do when the fire’s gone black
When the world don’t wait and it won’t look back
Do you shiver alone in the subway’s hum
Or curse the sun when the morning comes
Chorus
We’re just a few steps down,
From the edge of town
Where the cold don’t care
And the snow comes down
When your pride gives way
To a cardboard crown
Outro
And the Strat still wails like a midnight train
While he fades like steam in the winter rain
One more name that no one says aloud
Just a few steps down…
Just a few steps down…
Just a few steps down…
Just a few steps down…
Just a few steps down
Just a few steps down…
Just a few steps down…

Just a few steps down. Requiem

last night (going commando)

The song tells the intimate story of a young couple sitting on the beach, holding hands and watching the sun set over the bay. As the waves roll slowly to shore, they share quiet laughter, tender touches, and deep gazes that speak louder than words. The soft evening light and warm ocean breeze set the stage for moments of growing closeness, where playful affection turns into a more passionate connection. With every touch and whispered glance, the world around them fades, leaving only their hearts, the sand beneath them, and the sun melting into the horizon.

Lyrics:

[Intro – Acoustic guitar picking, soft waves in the background]

[Verse 1]
We found a place where the waves roll slow
Feet in the sand, and nowhere to go
Your laugh’s like the tide, pulling me in
The sky’s painting stories on our skin

[Pre-Chorus]
Every little touch feels like the first time
Every heartbeat dancing in the sunshine

[Chorus]
We’re just two souls on the edge of the day
Holding on, letting the moments stay
Your hand in mine, and the world fades away
Watching the sun melt into the bay

[Instrumental 1 – Acoustic guitar strumming, gentle shaker rhythm]


---

[Verse 2]
Salt on your lips, the breeze in your hair
The warmth of your body, the way that you stare
Our knees brushing close, sparking quiet flames
Every glance you give whispers my name

[Pre-Chorus]
Every little word feels like a love song
Every second tells me I belong

[Chorus]
We’re just two souls on the edge of the day
Holding on, letting the moments stay
Your hand in mine, and the world fades away
Watching the sun melt into the bay

[Instrumental 2 – Fingerpicking guitar, soft humming harmonies]


---

[Verse 3]
The glow on your skin in the evening light
Sets the ocean on fire, makes the world feel right
Your hand on my cheek, slow as the tide
Pulls me deeper in where our hearts collide

[Pre-Chorus]
Every gentle breath tastes like forever
Every move we make, we’re moving together

[Chorus]
We’re just two souls on the edge of the day
Holding on, letting the moments stay
Your hand in mine, and the world fades away
Watching the sun melt into the bay

[Instrumental 3 – Light guitar arpeggios with warm strings]


---

[Verse 4]
Your fingers trace lines on the curve of my back
The air turns heavy, there’s no turning back
We kiss like the night might steal us away
Breathing in the heat as the colors decay

[Bridge]
No need for promises, no need for plans
Just your heart and mine in the soft white sand

[Instrumental 4 – Slow guitar strums, soft ocean ambience]


---

[Final Chorus]
We’re just two souls on the edge of the day
Holding on, letting the moments stay
Your hand in mine, and the world fades away
Watching the sun melt into the bay

[Outro]
We found a place where the waves roll slow
And I’ll never let this feeling go

[Instrumental 5 – Gentle guitar outro with fading waves]

No One Can Ever Tell

Right Behind You

This new indie album is my way of capturing the feeling of autumn nights, quiet rooms, and the strange beauty of being close to someone while the world fades outside. The songs are minimal in words but heavy in mood — sweaters, rain, shadows, and light all becoming part of the story. It’s melancholic but also cosy, a blend of intimacy and distance, memory and desire. These tracks live somewhere between Fleetwood Mac’s mysticism, Beach House synths and the hazy trance of indie and dream-pop.

The Popguns - Oh Harry

The song title says it all, well almost all. The complete sentence is "Regrets serve no good if no lesson's understood." It's a dreamy dream pop tune but with a message many people could benefit from...not you of course.
