The Sound Of Calm

"Bourbon Memories" is a haunting tale of love lost and the struggle to move on. Drenched in whiskey-soaked sorrow, the song paints a vivid picture of late-night loneliness, where old photographs and broken promises resurface with every drink. Memories linger like ghosts, and while bourbon offers a temporary escape, it can't erase the pain. As the night fades into morning, the realization sets in—some lessons are never learned

"Bourbon Memories"

---

[Intro]
The amber glow of bourbon, the silence of the room,
Photographs and letters, scattered like old wounds.
The clock ticks past midnight, as I pour another glass,
Trying to drown the echo of a love that couldn't last.

---

[Verse 1]
Your name's still in my phone, though I can't bring myself to call,
Your jacket's in my closet, your picture on my wall.
They say that time's a healer, but they never felt this pain,
So I let the bourbon whisper lies that keep me sane.

---

[Chorus]
Bourbon memories, they haunt me like a ghost,
The taste of your kiss lingers, the thing I miss the most.
I'm burning bridges nightly with every drink I pour,
Bourbon memories, they're knocking at my door.

---

[Verse 2]
Remember that December, we danced beneath the snow?
You promised me forever, how was I to know?
That forever's just a moment, and promises just words,
Now empty conversations are all that can be heard.

---

[Chorus]
Bourbon memories, they haunt me like a ghost,
The taste of your kiss lingers, the thing I miss the most.
I'm burning bridges nightly with every drink I pour,
Bourbon memories, they're knocking at my door.

---

[Bridge]
This bottle can't replace you, though heaven knows I've tried,
Each sip reveals the truth I've kept buried deep inside.
That loving you was easy, forgetting's the hard part,
So I let the bourbon numb the pieces of my heart.

---

[Final Chorus]
Bourbon memories, they haunt me like a ghost,
The taste of your kiss lingers, the thing I miss the most.
I'm burning bridges nightly with every drink I pour,
Bourbon memories, they're knocking at my door.

---

[Outro]
The bottle's nearly empty, the sun begins to rise,
The bourbon's lost its magic, can't hide these bloodshot eyes.
One more glass, one more memory to burn,
Bourbon memories, lessons I never seem to learn.

Bourbon Memories

Look Me in the Eyes
---

[Verse 1]

Neon lights paint shadows on your face,
Eyes are drifting, lost in endless space.
Fingertips write silent words,
But no one speaks, no one’s heard.

---

[Chorus]

I remember laughter, wild and free,
Echoing beneath old oak trees.
Now it's just an empty sound,
A message read but never found.

---

[Verse 2 ]

We used to dance in summer rain,
Run through streets, barefoot and brave.
Now we scroll through secondhand dreams,
Trading touch for empty screens.


---

[Chorus]

Look me in the eyes, tell me what you see,
Not a filtered version, but the truth in me.
Put the world on pause, let the silence speak,
Hold my hand, hear my heart, let the moment breathe.
---

[Bridge ]

Forget the signal, forget the feed,
Talk to me ‘til sunrise, tell me what you need.
No emojis, no distractions, just your voice and mine,
Let’s write this story between the lines.


---
Outro

Look me in the eyes…
Let the moment breathe…
Be here with me…

Look Me in the Eyes

„Flow of Emotions” is the fourth track from the album „Spring Awakening: Songs of Renewal.”
Like water, emotions are meant to move—they flow, change, and leave quiet traces behind. This song invites you to let them pass without resistance, to soften into their rhythm, and rediscover the peace that lies beneath.

Gentle, flowing melodies and soft harmonies reflect the nature of emotional waves—sometimes still, sometimes intense, but always moving.

Flow of Emotions

“A Song No One Hears” is a tender and introspective acoustic folk ballad, baroque in tone and lyrical in spirit. Set against soft fingerpicked guitar and delicate strings, it tells the story of a song meant for no one—and yet sung with quiet conviction. Melancholic yet warm, the music captures the quiet power of expression, even when unheard. It is a gentle ode to solitude, memory, and the unseen resonance of the soul.

A Song No One Hears

Warm and radiant. This track celebrates the joy and courage of stepping into a new day, with uplifting textures and soft rhythm.
Energy without rush. Presence without noise.

In your arms

Never Go Hungry Again

Kyk net vir my, ek sal jou nooit versuim
Kom lê by my, dan vertel ek jou my geheim
Jy's my oggendstêr, my lig by sonsonder
sagte somersbries, as die warrelwind donder

Jy praat die woorde, van harstog in my ore
Van sonskyn en soene, en sipressie suurlemoene
Jy's die een wat luister 
As ek my emosies fluister

Volg net vir my, hierdie voete ken die pad
Deur die donker paaie, in n soektog na die hart
Verskoon my wandeling, want my vooruitsig is sleg
Gevoelens raak my gids, maar my hart ken lank die weg

Jy praat die woorde, van harstog in my ore
Van sonskyn en soene, en sipressie, suurlemoene
Jys die een wat luister 
as ek my emosies fluister

My onselfsigtige wandeling 
het my niks in die sak gebring,
Die onkeerbare kanteling
van wie ek is en wat ek bemin.
Die onkeerbare kanteling
van wie ek is en wat ek bemin.

Die Kanteling

BITTERSWEET LONGING

“Dream in Reverse” is a bleak, slow-burning portrait of a man pushed to the edge—unemployed, unseen, and unraveling. Every line drips with quiet despair: ghosted job apps, mounting debt, chronic illness, and the cold indifference of a world that’s moved on without him.

Driven by sparse instrumentation and cracked vocals, the track walks the line between resignation and decay.

There’s no light at the end of this tunnel—just the fading hum of an Uber engine, the scratch of a pen on bankruptcy forms, and a whisper that says, “Maybe next never.”
