A poignant acoustic journey through time as a young boy speaks to his future self, asking life's biggest questions and receiving wisdom from across the years. Through gentle fingerpicking and raw, emotional male vocals, this song explores the universal human experience of growing up and facing life's complexities.

"How We'll Be" unfolds as an intimate dialogue between innocence and experience, hope and reality. A child wonders about wealth, success, love, and happiness, while his older self responds with hard-earned wisdom about life's unpredictable path.

This stripped-down acoustic arrangement intentionally keeps the focus on the emotional narrative, allowing the conversation between past and future to resonate with listeners who've walked their own winding roads through joy and heartbreak, wealth and struggle, dreams and their sometimes bittersweet fulfillment.

Written as a reminder that life rarely unfolds as we imagine in childhood, but carries beauty even in its imperfection.

Lyrics:

Little eyes full of wonder, looking ahead
Ten years old with a million questions in my head
Will I grow tall and strong? Will I find my way?
Hey future me, what can you say?

Will we be rich with treasures and gold?
Will we find success before we grow old?
Will we find someone to hold through the night?
Will we be happy? Will everything be alright?
Tell me, future me, what will our life be?

I see you there with your innocent heart
I wish I could shield you from where we'd start
Yes, we'll have money, then watch it all go
The richest moments? They won't come from what we own

We'll taste wealth and we'll know hungry days
We'll find success, but in unexpected ways
We'll find love – deep and true – but feel its sting
Happiness comes and goes on broken wings
Trust me, younger me, that's how our life will be

Will we have lots of friends to laugh with and play?
A faithful few who stay through the darkest days
Will we be all I dream we can be?
Not quite, but someone stronger than you'd believe

There'll be mistakes and failures, scars on our soul
Moments when pieces break, never again whole
But there's beauty in the breaking, in starting again
In finding your feet after the rain

We'll know wealth in the things money can't buy
We'll find triumph in simply choosing to try
We'll know love that's worth all of the pain
Happiness found in dancing through the rain
This is us, this is life, this is how we'll be

If I could tell you one thing to hold onto tight
It's that you're stronger than you know
And though the path isn't straight
The journey makes you whole
Little me, it's all going to be alright

How We'll Be

Reflections on life

ЖУРАВЛИ   /   CRANES   (Reminiscence)

"I See You" is a heartfelt folk ballad that speaks to the silent struggles we all face in life. This song emerged from a simple yet powerful idea: sometimes the greatest gift we can offer someone is to truly acknowledge their pain and stand beside them through it.

Through gentle acoustic fingerpicking and soulful male vocals, the lyrics follow the perspective of a friend who observes someone battling their inner demons. While many might pass by without noticing, this friend sees the daily courage it takes just to face the world. The authentic folk melody carries the emotional weight of recognition - "I see your silent struggle, each day, each morning."

The song builds gradually, with the acoustic arrangement allowing space for the raw emotion in the vocals to shine through. There's an intentional simplicity to the production that mirrors the straightforward message: you are seen, you are heard, and you are never truly alone.

"I See You" reminds us that in our most isolated moments, genuine connection can be life-changing. It celebrates the quiet resilience of the human spirit and the healing power of being truly witnessed in our struggles.

Française

"Je Te Vois" est une ballade folk sincère qui parle des luttes silencieuses que nous affrontons tous dans la vie. Cette chanson est née d'une idée simple mais puissante : parfois, le plus grand cadeau que nous puissions offrir à quelqu'un est de vraiment reconnaître sa douleur et de rester à ses côtés.

À travers un délicat jeu de doigts à la guitare acoustique et des voix masculines pleines d'âme, les paroles suivent la perspective d'un ami qui observe quelqu'un luttant contre ses démons intérieurs. Alors que beaucoup passeraient sans remarquer, cet ami voit le courage quotidien qu'il faut simplement pour affronter le monde. La mélodie folk authentique porte le poids émotionnel de cette reconnaissance - "Je vois ta lutte silencieuse, chaque jour, chaque matin."

La chanson se construit progressivement, l'arrangement acoustique laissant place à l'émotion brute des voix. Il y a une simplicité intentionnelle dans la production qui reflète le message direct : tu es vu, tu es entendu, et tu n'es jamais vraiment seul.

"Je Te Vois" nous rappelle que dans nos moments les plus isolés, une connexion authentique peut changer une vie. Elle célèbre la résilience tranquille de l'esprit humain et le pouvoir guérisseur d'être véritablement témoin de nos luttes.

Rituals For The Time
By DPmusicUk 

🎶 

Are we truly lost to this world...
Consumed with self, material and ego...
When did, did we all let go.

🎶 

There's a balance, something pure to see...
Nature can show us the way...
Open our hearts, our minds, our souls will be.

🪈 

🎶 

Letting go of the things we don't need...
Embrace change and the sowing of seed...
Enlightenment for the first time in me.

🎶 

So many sacred hearts...
Lost, industrialised...
Economic beast to feed the greed.

🎶 

There's a coming of a new age...
Deepness to be seen, in all the...
Past where we were born...

Rituals for the time...

🎶 

A selfless act of kindness...
Brings forth the kin, the humanity...
Compassion is a real friend who has been.

Connection repairs identity...
With optimistic hope, and thus...
Meaning and purpose fills the well.

Letting go of the things we don't need...

Economic beast to feed the greed.

Rituals For The Time

Film

There’s a part of you that drifts somewhere else when the house gets still — and I see it.
This one’s for the quiet you, the deep-thinking, hope-holding version you don’t always let out loud.
I don’t just love the way you live…
I love the way you dream.

When She Dreams

I'm Theo Cenere, a folk singer-songwriter.

I write songs about memory, silence, rust, and all the things we carry but never say out loud. My music is simple, stripped down — mostly just voice and guitar — because that’s how it feels most honest to me.

Rust is my first album. I recorded it in quiet rooms, during long nights, and it’s full of little truths.

Still I Rise

Title: Love Again?
Artist: MOBest


---

Summary:
This melancholic ballad tells the story of a chance encounter between two former lovers who haven't seen each other in years. Now both in committed relationships, they meet unexpectedly and are overwhelmed by unresolved emotions and a deep, lingering connection. As they catch up, memories resurface, revealing what they’ve built—and what they’ve lost. Despite their current lives, the emotional pull between them remains undeniable. The song explores the tension between loyalty and longing, past and present. It ends with the haunting, unresolved question: "Are we allowed to love again?"

Lyrics:

[Intro]
[Piano – soft and sparse, with distant ambient strings]

[Verse 1]
I saw you on the corner, just by chance
The years fell off like autumn leaves
Your smile still pulled me like a trance
I caught my breath, I couldn’t breathe
We laughed like nothing ever changed
But time has left its quiet range

[Verse 2]
You spoke of love and where you live
I nodded through a trembling grin
You said you've found someone to give
The peace I couldn't hold within
I told you I had someone too
But none of that felt truly true

[Chorus]
[Strings swell gently, building warmth]
[Are we ghosts of who we were?]
[Do old flames still know our names?]
[Is this moment just a blur,]
[Or the start of wilder flames?]
[We had our time, we lost our way]
[But here you are again today]

[Verse 3]
The street grew still, the lights went low
You looked at me like years ago
You said, “I still remember June,”
The lake, the stars, that silver moon
I whispered, “I remember too,”
And suddenly I felt brand new

[Instrumental Break]
[Piano and cello – nostalgic motif echoing first verse melody]

[Bridge]
[We stand in silence, hearts undone]
[By what we lost and what remains]
[The lives we built, the love that’s gone]
[Still echo softly through our veins]

[Verse 4]
We didn’t kiss, we didn’t touch
But every look still said too much
A thousand words in just one glance
An old unfinished, ghostly dance

[Chorus – Reprise]
[Are we ghosts of who we were?]
[Do old flames still know our names?]
[Is this moment just a blur,]
[Or the start of wilder flames?]
[We had our time, we lost our way]
[But here you are again today]

[Outro – Whispered, minimal instrumentation]
[So tell me now, my long-lost friend...]
[Are we allowed to love again?]


Love Again?

An anthem for surviving. Not thriving, not winning, just still here. And sometimes that’s enough.

Still Breathing
