Acoustic Ends

A powerful, heartfelt ballad rooted in folk storytelling and punk grit, Beneath It All A Fire Burns There Still channels the quiet rage and resilience of working-class lives. With stripped-back acoustic instrumentation and weathered, emotionally raw vocals, the song captures the ghost of lost industry and the enduring spark of defiance.

Lewis Stevenson blends social realism with poetic flair, evoking comparisons to Billy Bragg and early Springsteen. A lament for a disappearing way of life, and a rallying cry to remember what still smoulders beneath the ashes.

Some truths aren’t spoken — they’re felt.
“Between the Lines” captures the quiet space where words fade and emotion takes over. It’s the sound of reflection, of reading the heart rather than the page.

Just guitar and voice, steady and unguarded. Each note hangs like a thought unfinished, each silence filled with meaning.

✨ Love isn’t always written — sometimes, it’s understood.

Between The Lines

You (2025)

Hello! 
I'm Ricky Helfgen, a passionate guitarist and singer from the picturesque town of Illingen in Saarland, Germany. For 35 years, music has been my loyal companion, guiding me through countless moments of joy and inspiration. Now, I'm thrilled to embark on a new adventure: My Acoustic Project. This journey, which began in June 2023 with the release of my song 'On the Sea,' is an exciting exploration of new melodies and musical landscapes. I create both instrumental pieces and singer-songwriter compositions. While the destination remains a mystery, the path is filled with endless possibilities. I can't wait to see where the music will take me next. I would be delighted if you would join me on this journey.
