I'll Stand By You

*Lyrics

Golden rays upon my skin,
Another day about to begin.

Curtains dance with the morning breeze,
A quiet hum, a sense of ease.
Coffee drips in steady time,
Yet I’m still lost inside my mind.

The world wakes up beyond my door,
But I just stay, needing more.
Do I chase the light outside?
Or stay where memories reside?

Morning light on the windowpane,
Soft and fleeting, never stays.
Do I move, do I remain?
Drifting through another day.

Books half-read, a thought left bare,
Echoes of laughter in the air.
I trace the dust on window glass,
Like time that slips but never lasts.

If I step outside, will I change?
Or will the past just call my name?

Morning light fades away,
Yet here I stay, yet here I stay.

Morning Light on the Window

In a world where memories live forever in the cloud, where WiFi signals once connected hearts, and where love lingers in unread messages, Disconnected captured the ache of digital-age heartbreak with cinematic scope.

But some stories deserve to be told again—quieter, closer, and even more vulnerable.

Disconnected (Echo Sessions) is a reimagining of the original album, a collaboration between R.U.D.Y. and the hauntingly soulful vocalist KennedY, whose voice wraps around each track like a memory you’re not ready to let go. These aren’t just acoustic versions—they’re emotional retellings, stripped to their bones, wrapped in warmth and reverb, letting every breath and silence carry meaning.

KennedY brings a new kind of ache—soft, ethereal, and intimate. The space between notes is filled with ambient textures, room noise, and the quiet hum of reflection. Every guitar strum feels like a sigh. Every word sounds like it’s being sung just for you, late at night, when the signal is gone but the feeling still lingers.

From the pinned conversations that no longer light up to the echoes of laughter trapped in old voice notes, this version of Disconnected leans in closer. It’s not just what was lost—it’s what’s still left behind.

For those who’ve heard the digital ghosts in their hearts—this is the unplugged séance.

🔹 Play it with headphones. Play it alone. Let it echo through you. 🔹

[Verse 1]
I said goodbye like it was just another day
Didn’t feel the weight 'til you walked away
Laughed at the little things you used to do
Now they echo loud in an empty room

[Pre-Chorus]
I thought we had time
Thought you’d always be near
But life has a way 
Of not playing fair

[Chorus]
If I only knew 
That was the last time
I would've held you longer
Made your hand fit tighter in mine
If I only saw 
The truth behind your smile
I would've stopped the world 
To stay a while
If I only knew 
The end was coming soon
I’d have changed it all...
If I only knew

[Verse 2]
I hear your voice 
In every quiet breeze
Your shadow dances 
In the autumn leaves
I replay moments 
Like a worn-out song
Hoping somehow 
I could right the wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
I thought we had time
But I was blind
Now I'm chasing ghosts 
You left behind

[Chorus]
If I only knew
That was the last time
I would've said I love you 
Just one more time
If I only read the silence 
In your eyes
I wouldn't have let 
The moment pass me by
If I only knew 
How fast it all would fade
I’d have made you stay...
If I only knew

[Bridge]
Now I carry you 
In everything I do
But it’s not the same 
As being next to you
No rewind, no second chance
Just the echoes 
Of a missed romance

[Chorus]
If I only knew 
That goodbye meant forever
I would've stitched our hearts 
A little tighter together
If I only saw the cracks 
Before they grew
Maybe I'd still be holding you
If I only knew...

[Outro]
If I only knew how short the story’d be
I’d have written it in fire, not in ink that fades on me
But time don’t wait, and love can slip right through
So hold them close...
While they’re still with you
If I only knew...
If I only knew...

IF I ONLY KNEW

"Hearts Aligned" is an intimate acoustic pop-emo ballad that captures the fragile beauty of unspoken love across distance. Anchored by tender, heartfelt male vocals, the track leans into the rawness of confession—each word delivered like a page torn from a diary. A gently fingerpicked steel-string guitar forms the emotional core, while light string swells and soft percussive taps add warmth without breaking the song’s vulnerability.

Inspired by early 2000s acoustic emo but infused with a modern French twist, Hearts Aligned walks the line between melancholy and hope. It’s a song for those who’ve ever carried someone in their heart from afar, who’ve whispered feelings into the dark hoping they might one day be heard. The slow tempo allows every emotion to breathe, building gently toward a chorus that aches with longing—but refuses to give up on love.

Stripped-down, yet sonically rich. Diary-like, yet universal. A quiet storm of affection, waiting for its echo.

"Someone Cares" [Version # 16] [SCAR16]

We all set a place at the table for the parts of ourselves we fear have wandered too far. Even when it feels like no one returns, life quietly invites us to keep the door open. Sometimes, hope is simply the act of waiting with an open heart — trusting that, one day, we’ll find our way home, or that home will find us.

I built a shelter out of wishes,
Lit candles for the ones I lost.
But no footsteps echo in my hallway,
No voices call me home.

No one comes home,
No one comes home,
I wait and I wait,
But no one comes home.

Night after night,
I set the table for my missing self.
I sing to the shadows on the wall,
But only silence answers.

No one comes home,
No one comes home,
I wait and I wait,
But no one comes home.

Maybe I am the ghost
I keep waiting for,
Turning the key
In an invisible door.

No one comes home,
No one comes home,
I wait and I wait,
But no one comes home.

No One Comes Home
