Years are passing, yet the silence grows heavier.
The fires never faded - instead they spread, and the cries beneath the rubble echo louder than before.

This new recording of Underneath the Ashes is not just a song —
it’s a lament for lives uprooted, for homes turned to dust, for hope buried beneath the weight of war.

With haunting strings and raw emotion, this piece mourns what should have ended — but hasn’t. It is for Ukraine. It is for Palestine. It is for whoever is next.

For every name we’ll never know.
For every voice buried in the ruins.
For peace that still hasn’t come.

LYRICS
Whispers in the wind, skies painted gray
Empty streets where children used to play
Silent cries beneath the shattered light
The world keeps turning, but it don't feel right

In the ashes, hope flickers and fades
Dreams like shadows slip further away
Cold hands reach for something they can't find
Still we're breathing, holding on to time

Underneath the Ashes, we're searching for signs
A spark in the shadows, a flicker of time
Though the world is burning, we won't fade away
Underneath the ashes, we'll find our way

Voices break like waves upon the shore
We've been here before, yet we still want more
Through the darkness, searching for the day
Maybe love will guide us through the fray

Underneath the Ashes, we're searching for signs
A spark in the shadows, a flicker of time
Though the world is burning, we won't fade away
Underneath the ashes, we'll find our way

In the quiet, we mend what's torn
From the ruins, something new is born
In the cracks, we see the stars above
Even in the wreckage, there's a trace of love

Underneath the Ashes, we're searching for signs
A spark in the shadows, a flicker of time
Though the world is burning, we won't fade away
Underneath the ashes, we'll find our way

Underneath the Ashes (2025 Redux)

Welcome! I’m a Lyricist, Composer, and Producer based in Stockholm, Sweden, passionate about creating music that resonates deeply with listeners.

My work spans a variety of styles and genres, from heartfelt pop ballads and high-energy rock anthems to soulful country tunes and cinematic instrumental pieces. Every song is crafted to tell a story, blending poetic lyrics, rich melodies, and captivating arrangements that evoke emotion and spark the imagination.

My tracks bring life to stories of love, loss, resilience, and the beauty of the human experience. Whether it’s an ethereal ballad or a gritty country tale, each piece reflects my dedication to creating music that connects on a personal level. Utilizing a combination of my own lyrics and stylings with AI technology and manual editing to bring my vision to life. On some of my songs I also work with talented vocalists to bring the final piece of the puzzle.

New songs are released regularly, so follow along to join the journey and discover your next favorite track. Thank you for listening, and I hope my music becomes a part of your story.
