What if the world’s stories came not through screens, but through songs? Sing Me the Story by Dr. Elliot Lach is a reflection on how music can be a balm, a broadcast, and a bridge—delivering news, emotion, and connection without the eye strain or overload. Inspired by mornings in the kitchen, headphones on, heart wide open.

This track invites you to imagine a world where life is narrated in melodies—not headlines.

(Say It) On Repeat


I was walking with Elle
And Sunny in the Distance 
I have to admit
A lot I have dreamed

But Clara’ s soft 
And Christina’s looking for Love
Up on the hill where near 
The say is God

I don’t know
I’m just a man
Looking for a bonfire 
To restore my soul

He says he’s happy now but
His life’s been a struggle 
And he’s not even twenty yet 
What a man can say
When he’s still struggling
And his life’s almost empty 

Say it on repeat 
They’re gonna buy it 
Say it on repeat
They’re gonna buy it
Say it on repeat 
They’re gonna buy it

Windowsill

The lights blink slow on the ceiling
I fake sleep just to feel something
Your voice comes in through the static
But I know you’re not really calling

I open the door and it’s snowing
In the middle of July
The world bends in my silence
But no one asks me why

Everything I touch feels like glass
And I keep breaking in the past

I wasn’t there when it all fell down
Just a shadow on the edge of town
Left behind in a Polaroid glare
Fading fast like I was never there

I stitched stars into my sweater
So I’d feel less alone at night
But they burn holes through the fabric
Like your words through my mind

I watched the sun rise on a dead screen
Blue light washing out my dreams
I smiled in the mirror for no one
Hoping maybe it would mean something

I trace the silence in the air
Like I’m trying to prove I still care

I wasn’t there when it all fell down
Just a name in the lost and found
Echoed footsteps on a broken stair
I breathe in deep, but there's nothing there

Time is a tape stuck on rewind
I see your face but not your eyes
And every song feels like a lie
When it ends before the cry

Don’t wait for me, I’m just a glitch
In someone else’s dream
I whisper through the static hum
Like I was never seen

theres nothing there

Beautiful Stranger is about that instant connection — falling for someone you don’t even know.
Indie with a touch of wonder and a pulse of curiosity.

Beautiful Stranger

When the Flowers Start to Bloom
[intro]

[Verse]
The sky wears a dusty shade of blue
Wind whispers secrets no one knew
Shoes on the porch
Laces untied
The road ahead's got nothing to hide

[Chorus]
When the flowers start to bloom
Oh
I feel alive
Like the earth is humming
A buzzing hive
Every petal tells a story
Every leaf a clue
When the flowers start to bloom
I think of you

[Verse 2]
A bee stumbles drunk on golden wine
Clouds trace shadows
Lazy
Divine
Your laugh still lingers
A ghost in spring
The world awakens
And I start to sing

[Prechorus]
Roots dig deep
Branches climb
Heartbeats match the rhythm of time

[Chorus]
When the flowers start to bloom
Oh
I feel alive
Like the earth is humming
A buzzing hive
Every petal tells a story
Every leaf a clue
When the flowers start to bloom
I think of you

[Bridge]
The dirt's a canvas
Painted green
Every sprout a promise
Every bud a dream
The air is thick with things unsaid
Like love reborn
Like words unread

When the Flowers Start to Bloom

How Many Songs (does it take to heal)

I make music with AI – because without it, I couldn’t.
Melodies and ideas start on my phone, then I build them with Fadr, Bandlab and Suno.
I don’t owe tradition anything – but I owe everything to honesty.
The lyrics, the feelings, the heartbeat of every track – that’s me.
