As we live our lives, it's important to express to others how you feel, for none of us can read minds.

Never Told [ShadeFade]

Some Trance Techno and Bass / Electro House styles bended into something I called Technomagical!  Might have gotten a little carried away with some frantic vibes at the end but I liked it!

Techno Magical [ShadeFade]

Sometimes love is painful, sometimes people are not ready, sometimes we are afraid. Everyone can regret the timing of it all, the choices they made, wishing they had been different.

Strings of Time [ShadeFade]

A blend of various influences, trance, dance, pop and electronic with some heavy vocal processing.  We all want to break free from the mundane, the normal, sometimes just be free from the restraints and tribulations of our daily lives.

Synth/Retrowave vibe about when your mind just goes blank no matter what you do, and nothing seems to break the spell.

Let Go [ShadeFade]

The ice retreats, the rivers break  
A silver dawn, the earth awake  
From shadowed sleep, the roots arise  
Emerald flames in newborn skies.  

A trembling earth, a roaring tide,  
The slumbered heart now opens wide.  

Rise, oh forest dragon, wreathed in gold and green  
Winds obey your whisper, storms bow where you breathe  
Crowned in leaves and thunder, veins of verdant might  
Spring is now your kingdom, bask within its light!

With every step, the roots entwine, 
The mountains shake, the stars align,
Wings unfurl, eclipse the sun,  
The frozen age is dead and done.  

A trembling earth, a roaring tide  
The slumbered heart now opens wide  

Rise, oh forest dragon, wreathed in gold and green  
Winds obey your whisper, storms bow where you breathe  
Crowned in leaves and thunder, veins of verdant might  
Spring is now your kingdom, bask within its light  

No more chains of frost remain  
Only fire in your veins,  
No more silence in the trees, 
Only songs upon the breeze .

Rise, oh forest dragon, wreathed in gold and green  
Winds obey your whisper, storms bow where you breathe  
Crowned in leaves and thunder, veins of verdant might  
Spring is now your kingdom, bask within the light!

Home To Me is a cinematic and poetic tribute to the harsh yet sacred desert world of Dune, told through the voice of a Fremen. It combines orchestral depth and tribal percussion choices with synth organ ambiance to evoke both the ancient and futuristic aspects of the planet Arrakis. The lyrics express a deep, spiritual bond between the singer and the desert—its unforgiving nature, its role in shaping identity, and its profound, almost divine significance. It's a love song not to a person, but to the desert itself, venerating it as both home and holy ground.

With gentle acoustic instrumentation, a little piano, tied together with low key bass and a mellow thumping tropical house-type beat to keep the energy going.

Pocket Full of Stars [ShadeFade]

Something very different for me, inspired by my past addiction to fun and playful genre's like electro-swing (think Caravan Palace vibes). Some vintage-meets-modern electro-swing fun that celebrates how history and culture are recycled and reinvented including some humorous references - jazzy horns, glitchy beats, and time-traveling swagger collide in a playful remix of past and future.

A visceral descent into cosmic inevitability, The End fuses bone-rattling and hard heavy bass, fragmented glitch percussion, with both heavy and warped synths with eerie, processed vocal samples that echo the voices of long-dead physicists pondering the universe's final fate.

It’s a sonic eulogy for existence itself, both terrifying and beautiful in its scale and potential end.

What I Like is a modern electro-swing romp - punchy brass stabs, upright bass grooves, and crisp electronic percussion drive the floor while playful vintage-inspired female vocals glide over chopped swing with playful sass and euphoric harmonics. From cheeky scat breaks to some sample-rich breakdowns, it’s a wild, off-beat celebration of rhythm, joy, and dancing ‘til morning light.

What I Like [ShadeFade]

"I'm Your Villain Now" is an energetic dark pop/trap anthem with female lead vocals, mixing sly rap-slung verses, electronic glitch/trap textures, explosive choruses, and swagger-filled dance breaks.  My homage to the likes of K/DA (League of Legends) and other styles.
