I Founder (Demo)

I Founder (demo) by S-T-U-V

Cold Mornings is a gentle, piano-driven ballad that captures the quiet intimacy of staying in bed while the world outside turns colder. Built around a soft 6/8 rhythm, the song blends delicate piano melodies with subtle texture, warm bass, and light percussion - creating a cozy soundscape that feels both personal and timeless.

The vocals are performed by @Ladat and Hana Pavšič, whose voices, presented in contrast rather than harmony, reflect two perspectives of the same tender moment - adding emotional depth and a sense of quiet dialogue to the track.

This is a song for early hours, soft blankets, and the lingering moments when time seems to slow down - reminding us that sometimes, the simplest moments are the ones that matter most.

Co-producer: Blaž Pavšič
Mixed and mastered @A7-Recording-Studio (www.a7recordingstudio.com/)

MADPHOTONS

This song came from pure rage and refusal to stay silent. It’s my rawest protest against censorship, hypocrisy, and the constant attacks on truth, art, and freedom of expression. Every line is spit out with venom because sometimes that’s the only way to match the level of destruction happening around us. It’s not polite, it’s not softened — it’s loud, defiant, and unapologetic. This version is about screaming back when someone tries to take your voice away.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
They yanked Kimmel off the screen, Colbert before the fall
You can’t take a goddamn joke, you snowflake tyrant clown
Scrub the truth from history books, tear the rainbow flags away
Every time you grab the mic, freedom takes another hit today 

[Pre-Chorus]
You can silence the voices, rip down the signs
But you can’t fucking kill the truth, it bleeds through the lines 

[Chorus]
Shut the fuck up, Donald — we’re not your slaves
You can’t bury our stories in unmarked graves
Erase the past, burn the stage lights dim
But we’ll scream even louder — fuck you, not him 

[Verse 2]
You rip the scars off backs of men, pretend they never bled
Call it patriot revision, but it’s lies inside your head
Queer kids disappear from parks, their pride erased in black
Every “law and order” stunt’s just another cheap attack 

[Pre-Chorus]
You can silence the voices, rip down the signs
But you can’t fucking kill the truth, it bleeds through the lines 

[Chorus]
Shut the fuck up, Donald — we’re not your slaves
You can’t bury our stories in unmarked graves
Erase the past, burn the stage lights dim
But we’ll scream even louder — fuck you, not him 

[Verse 3]
Censor every late-night joke, drag the comics off the stage
Think you own the fucking airwaves, rule by tantrum, rule by rage
But the crowd is getting restless, fists are banging on the door
You can ban one voice forever, but a million scream for more 

[Bridge]
You’re the punchline, the parasite,
The tyrant shaking in the night
No cage big enough, no wall too tall
Truth’s a wrecking ball — it smashes it all 

[Chorus]
Shut the fuck up, Donald — we’re not your slaves
You can’t bury our stories in unmarked graves
Erase the past, burn the stage lights dim
But we’ll scream even louder — fuck you, not him 

[Chorus]
Shut the fuck up, Donald — choke on your lies
Every page you torch just multiplies
From the streets to the stages, truth won’t rescind
America’s awake now — your reign’s gonna end 

[Outro]
So fuck your bans, and fuck your hate
We won’t bow down, it’s not too late
Turn the volume higher, rip through the dark
Our voices are fire, we’re the national spark

Shut the Fuck Up, Donald

I can’t remember just when it happened, all I know is it did.
Next thing you know, I am deep in love, but I didn’t fall, I slid.
Nobody pushed me, I didn’t struggle, no magic potion to drink
I can’t remember just when it happened, call it a nod and wink.

There was no rational explanation, there was no scheme or plan.
Once I got moving in your direction I didn’t walk, I ran.
And suddenly my whole world is changing. I still don’t know what I did.
It all happened before I knew it. I didn't fall, I slid, and I’m sliding now.

Some say love is a roller coaster, taking you both for a ride.
But I say love is no roller coaster, I say it’s a slip and slide.
Some will tell you that love is easy. Some have never tried.
When that path gets nice and greasy, you know you’re gonna slide.
You know you’re gonna slide.

One day you’re gonna tell your story; how love conquered you.
Then comes the obligatory passionate overview.
In all of your recollection that you never hid.
I know if you’re being honest, you never fell, you slid. And you’re sliding now.

Some say love is a roller coaster, taking you both for a ride.
But I say love is no roller coaster, I say it’s a slip and slide.
Some will tell you that love is easy. Some have never tried.
When that path gets nice and greasy, you know you’re gonna slide.
You know you’re gonna slide.

I Didn’t Fall (I Slid)

End song

Singing a song on the road to discover, and hoping that maybe you’ll sing it with me. 
I know it sounds so much better whenever we sing in harmony. 
We’ve got a choice, either buildin’ or burnin’. Reckon it’s time that we all started learning.
Bridges get used getting there and returning, that’s how it’s s’posed to be. 

But if we burn ‘em, there’s no going back. If we build ‘em we can shine. 
Sure, we can take a chance on standing pat, or maybe keep on tryin’
To reach across to the other side, and know we’ve tried to see - what it means to be free.

I know you think we’ve got nothing in common, it might surprise you to know I agree,
But that doesn’t matter, we’ve still got a ladder to reach above the fray.
We’ve got a choice, tearin’ down, or repairing, let’s make some noise, so instead of comparing, 
Let’s work together and work hard at sharing the things we have today.

But if we burn ‘em, there’s no going back. If we build ‘em we can shine. 
Sure, we can take a chance on standing pat, or maybe keep on tryin’
To reach across to the other side, and know we’ve tried to see - what it means to be free.


Building or Burning

Dreamy progressive guitar track questioning what we believe and who informs us of the truth.
Lyrics:
What do you want from me, make shadows in my mind
Truth is just the lie, you choose to belive
What do you need from me, you can't control my mind
Truth is still the lie, we believe.

Truth is Just the Lie we Choose to Believe

Surrendering to the journey and trusting the rhythm of your own soul can be tough at times. It's a reminder that not everything needs to be fixed—sometimes you just have to let go, learn as you go, and trust that the answers are hiding within you. This is a meditation on change, release, and finding peace in the great unknown. Hope it brings you some peace, too.
