Who Are You When No One is Watching?

Indie

we are deep in the throes of cuffing season y'all! this is about that time where you start thinking, "maybe i should call them". i'm here to say thats okay. call that toxic ex. get "re-entangled". in fact, if you're feeling really bold, show up on their front lawn and play them this song from a boombox. best wishes! 

*ps - probably dont let your friends find out though? after all the times they stayed up late talking you through the last breakup with them, your friend may not be thrilled to see yall back together. but you gotta do what you gotta do, right?

lyrics

I'm stuck in my old ways, can’t stop thinking about you, yeah.
Just feels like the sun won’t rise any day i’m without you.
I'm stuck in my old ways, can’t stop thinking about you, yeah. 
And my friends say i’m crazy, i’m just crazy about you.

And the thing about you is i can’t resist your touch 
But will you stay true, or am i asking too much?
And when you’re with me, i gotta know. 
If you're gonna be down for me, at least like ten toes
(You know, you know)

I'm stuck in my old ways, can’t stop thinking about you, yeah.
Just feels like the sun won’t rise any day i’m without you. Yeah.
I'm stuck in my old ways, can’t stop thinking about you.
And my friends say i’m crazy, I'm just, woah.
Wooooo

And the thing about you
When I'm with you i feel complete
But I can't see through if you feel that way about me
I'm stuck in mind wishing i could be your man
So i gotta let u know any way that i can

And girl now I'm stuck in my old ways, can’t stop thinking about you, yeah.
Just feels like the sun won’t rise any day i’m without you
I'm stuck in my old ways, can’t stop thinking about you 
And my friends say i’m crazy, i’m just crazy about you

Crazy about you, yeah.
Crazy about you.
Crazy. Crazy about you.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah

Album Title: Barefoot Socrates
Genre: Smoky Jazz-Blues / Bohemian Noir / Retro Soul
Vibe: Sultry, Intimate, Late-Night, Cinematic
Description:
Barefoot Socrates strips away the marble and robes of antiquity to reveal the original bohemian wanderer in a dimly lit, smoky atmosphere. This album is a masterclass in mood, transforming the probing questions of the Agora into a sultry, late-night confession.
The soundscape is steeped in nostalgia and noir textures. Anchored by the warm, walking rhythm of an upright bass and the organic pulse of congas and bongos, the groove swings with a subtle gypsy-jazz influence that feels both timeless and raw. Over this rhythmic foundation, smooth retro guitar lines weave intricate melodies, echoing the Socratic method of endless questioning.
The defining element is the vocal delivery—deep, husky, and female. She delivers ancient wisdom not as lectures, but as soulful, emotional revelations. Tracks like "The Dreamless Sleep" and "The Gadfly" are reimagined as torch songs, where the search for truth burns with a slow, cinematic intensity.
Barefoot Socrates is a record for the midnight hour, capturing the essence of a man who owned nothing but possessed the ultimate wealth of the mind. It is philosophy felt in the gut, delivered with the heart of the blues.


Building the New

[Verse]
The rain taps soft on the windowpane,
A gentle rhythm, a sweet refrain.
Each drop a note in a secret song,
A fleeting moment, it won't stay long.
Grey skies hum, the world feels slow,
In the drizzle's dance, we let it flow.

[Chorus]
Oh, rainy afternoon, you're a quiet tune,
A smoky haze beneath the moon.
With every drop, the world renews,
Oh, rainy afternoon, it's just me and you.

[Verse 2]
The puddles shimmer, a liquid stage,
The city's script turns another page.
Umbrellas bloom like paper flowers,
Marking time through fleeting showers.
The muted horn cries, soft and low,
A wandering heart with no place to go.

[Bridge]
The rhythm skips, the tempo bends,
Time dissolves where the music ends.
A splash, a sigh, a whispered breeze,
The rain plays tricks; it teases, it frees.

[Chorus]
Oh, rainy afternoon, you're a quiet tune,
A smoky haze beneath the moon.
With every drop, the world renews,
Oh, rainy afternoon, it's just me and you.

[Outro]
The rain fades light, a lover’s goodbye,
The clouds retreat, revealing the sky.
But in my heart, your melody stays,
A rainy tune for my quiet days.

Rainy Afternoon Rhapsody

A collection of songs I did in collaboration with an Irish singer student who wishes to keep her name hidden for now.
Music and lyrics are by me.

This started as a comical journey where I tried to create parody lyrics of known songs and poems but since I am truly bad at those kinds of lyrics I stopped after several failed attempts. I did manage to twist the lyrics of "A Visit from St. Nicholas" by Clement-Clarke Moore into something a lot more sinister and with the gorgeous whispery and sultry voice of the jazz singer it truly drives the point (she hates that description but I'm sticking with it).

The rest of the songs are about the Icelandic Yule lads and my thoughts about the old ways transforming into a nicer and more modern way of thinking while also holding onto some of the sinister ways of both the Yule cat and my thoughts on what the Yule lads eat during their long months of resting.
