Signal in the Noise

neon halos on the avenue
ghosts in headphones passing through
swiping left on déjà vu
but i still dream in analog of you

my shadow’s walking out of sync
i feel the static when i think
of how your voice would barely blink
in a world that’s talking, but won’t link

can you hear me now?
or am i just a phantom file?
echoes in the algorithm
smiling through a frozen dial

i’m a signal in the noise
reaching through the silent void
hearts are buffering their choice
while i replay what we destroyed
city lights but none are real
every screen just hides what we feel
someone stop this spinning wheel
before we forget how to feel

you said, i’ll call, but you just typed
feelings now come pre-applied
staring through the glass divide
i fake connection, but i’ve died

blue ticks say you’re doing fine
but you were more than pixel lines
our playlist froze in ‘99
still searching for that dial tone sign

i keep leaving signs
but no one reads between the beams
stuck in endless timelines
of curated plastic dreams

i’m a signal in the noise
crying through a cordless voice
where’s the warmth we once employed
before love turned into a choice?
faces fade behind a screen
all that’s left is might have beens
whispered through machines that glean
but never know what humans mean

i’m still dreaming in analog of you…
just a signal…
in the noise…
fading through…

(Summary)

Signal in the Noise, is a haunting retro futuristic ballad about trying to hold on to love in a digitized world. It explores emotional solitude, fading human connections, and the aching search for something real behind the screen glow. With vocoded harmonies, analog synth textures, and cinematic orchestration, the track echoes the spirit of a modern lens. I wrote this as a reflection of what it feels like to be present but unseen in today’s hyper connected world.

Signal in the Noise

🎶 From Cassette Tapes to Creating My Own Sound 🎶

When I was a kid, music was more than background noise, it was my escape, my teacher, and my first real love. I’d sit with two cassette players, playing the Beatles on one and singing into the other, trying my best to match artists like Paul McCartney or Barbara Streisand’s range (sometimes successfully, sometimes not so much) 🤣. Homework could wait, lyrics in my wide rule notebooks couldn’t.

Life took me through winding roads, retail, hospitality, consulting, caregiving, but music never stopped calling. 45 years later, after many personal losses, and loosing one of my sons last year, I turned back to songwriting as therapy. Inspiration is all around me. Every song I create starts with raw lyrics, usually scribbled in one shot as I choreograph in my mind, then evolves into a fully produced track through hours of refining vocal coding,  instrumentation, and feel. I blend personal stories with AI driven music tools, letting technology and emotion work together to capture what I hear and see in my head and heart.

Now, I’m finally sharing it. Not perfect, not polished to death, just real. This is me, finally putting the music out there for you to hear.
Peace & Love ❤️
