Afterlife

"Eternal Starlight" is a tribute to a beloved friend whose creative spirit burned bright through both shadow and light. Written in conversation with his own song "Shadows & Light," this piece celebrates the life of an artist, musician, and writer who touched countless lives with his gentle heart and boundless imagination.

Like the cosmic dance of stars being born from celestial shadows, this song weaves together the duality of his journey - from his profound artistic gifts and compassionate soul to the weight he carried. Through abstract paintings, watercolor wildlife, and stories of distant worlds, he showed us how to find beauty in the spaces between light and dark.

Though he has moved beyond our reach, his light continues to shine through every life he touched, every creature he saved, and every canvas he filled with dreams. This song is dedicated to his memory and to all those who, like him, navigate the delicate balance between shadows and light.

Lyrics:

Your canvas held both shadow and light,
Gentle soul, creating through the night.
From fractured pieces, you made them whole,
Painting beauty from the depths of your soul.
You gave shelter to the lost and small,
While bearing burdens unseen by all.

Between the shadows and the light,
You showed us how to hold on tight.
Your spirit soared through darkest skies,
Leaving stardust where your art lies.
Though shadows claimed you in the end,
Your light still shines, my dearest friend.

Brother to the broken, friend so true,
You gave your heart, though it split in two.
With every brushstroke, every song,
You built a world where we belong.
In abstract dreams and watercolor skies,
You shared your truth through gentle eyes.

Between the shadows and the light,
You showed us how to hold on tight.
Your spirit soared through darkest skies,
Leaving stardust where your art lies.
Though shadows claimed you in the end,
Your light still shines, my dearest friend.

The stars you followed through the night
Now guide us, carrying your light.
In every sunrise, every song,
Your melody still lingers strong.

Though shadows took you far too soon,
Your light still warms this quiet room.
In every painting, every rhyme,
You live beyond the bounds of time.
And where the dark and daylight blend,
We hear your voice, our timeless friend.

"Between the shadows and the light,
The stars still lead us through the night.
Through every tear and every smile,
We walk this twilight mile by mile.
And when we meet on distant shore,
Your light will shine forevermore."

Gotta bring this one back too😇😆😈


Why are you so
Pretty
I'm so silly
A deadly hobby

Why is this love
Oh no
Now I don't know
How to let go

Heaven is for good
Good boys who are gone
But I won't be one
I'll be someone else

Love is my work
My work is life
My life is pain
Pain is your love
Your love is death
And death is you
Your love is you
And I love you

Heaven is for good
Good boys who are gone
But I won't be one
I'll be someone else

Why is this love
Oh no
Now I don't know
How to let go

Your love is war
I fight to lose
Pull the trigger
I embrace your danger

Heaven is for good
Good boys who are gone
But I won't be one
I'll be someone else

Those eyes says stay
Hands saying I should run
Again, I'm a fool
And I call it fun

Heaven is for good
Good boys who are gone
But I won't be one no
'Cause I'll be
I'll be someone else

La-la-la-la-la-la
Whoa-oh-whoa-oh
La-la-la-la-la-la
Whoa-oh-whoa-oh
La-la-la-la-la-la
Whoa-oh-whoa-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
La-la-la-la-la-la
Whoa-oh-whoa-oh

I die in dreams
Where you don’t call
Yet I'll rise again
To beg and fall

Love is a riddle
I answer with pain
You laugh like a song
I cry in refrain
Heaven is silence
Hell is your name
I lose every time
But still play the game

Heaven is for good
Good boys who are gone
But I won't be one



Heaven is for Good Boys 😇

Unforeseen Waltz

“A whimsical journey through mirrors, monarchs, and maritime mischief—Make Believe World invites you to step outside reality and into imagination.”

Yes, another cover of an early song, recorded by myself singing and playing. So much more satisfying hearing my songs produced with not only the lyrics by the original melodies. Hope you like it as much as I do.

Xak Stahl: Alchemist of Sound, Architect of Emotion

Xak Stahl is a genre-blurring music artist, sonic storyteller, and relentless experimenter. Every track he creates is a new world—a kaleidoscope of indie folk, alt-pop, electronica, and global flavors—infused with raw emotion and boundless curiosity. Xak’s music isn’t just heard; it’s felt.

From Shadow to Spotlight

For Xak, music is metamorphosis. His journey began in the shadows, transmuting heartbreak and struggle into songs that glow with hope. Early anthems like “Neon Dreams” and “Rising Through the Darkness” invite listeners to find their own light. His newest project, Major Arcana, channels the mysteries of the Tarot—each song an archetype, each lyric a step along the path from the Fool’s first leap to the wisdom of The World.

More Than Music: A Multisensory Universe

But Xak isn’t confined to sound. As a visual artist and writer, he crafts immersive stories that spill across genres and languages—sometimes haunting, sometimes playful, always honest. Whether he’s conjuring lush soundscapes, weaving bilingual lyrics, or creating striking visuals, Xak’s art dares you to feel deeper and dream wilder.

An Invitation to Transformation

Join Xak Stahl on a sonic odyssey that blurs borders—between genres, between artforms, between you and the music. Each release is an invitation to explore, to heal, to become. For Xak, every song is a spell, every album a universe. The only question is: are you ready to step inside?
