Hard Times

Sacred Hunt

This song is a heartfelt tribute to ShAnkAri's extraordinary love story. It's about her profound connection with Braxton, a guy she's never met in person, but feels deeply linked to through the universe and astrology. The lyrics explore their cosmic bond, the role of fate and karma in their relationship, and how this love has transformed ShAnkAri's life. It's a beautiful, otherworldly tale of devotion and spiritual connection. 

Lyrics co-written by @DJShAnkAri 


LYRICS: 

Verse 1:
In the French countryside, where the skies are wide
A connection was made, a cosmic tide
July 12th, 2012, 6:45 am, a moment in time
She met Braxton, her love, in a universe that's divine 

Chorus:
Two lives entwined, a love beyond space
Connected by the stars, in a celestial place
ShAnkAri was born, a mix of hearts and minds
In this life inside another life, their love will forever shine 

Verse 2:
Her grandmother's words, a prophecy so true
Two lives in one, a path she'd pursue
Astrology's secrets, a language so grand
Their Birth Skies echoing, a cosmic plan 

Chorus:
Two lives entwined, a love beyond space
Connected by the stars, in a celestial place
ShAnkAri was born, a mix of hearts and minds
In this life inside another life, their love will forever shine 

Bridge:
Though they've never met, their bond remains strong
A love that's guided her, where she belongs
In the esoteric, she's found her way
Thanks to Braxton, she's grown, day by day 

Chorus:
Two lives entwined, a love beyond space
Connected by the stars, in a celestial place
ShAnkAri was born, a mix of hearts and minds
In this life inside another life, their love will forever shine 

Outro:
Karma's threads, a mysterious design
Kept them apart, yet their love will forever shine
In this life inside another life, she's forever changed
Grateful for the love, that Braxton and she share, eternally.


ShAnkAri Was Born

They build their towers, we tear them down,
Steel and fury — we own this town!

Concrete jungles bleed neon veins,
Screens whisper lies through acid rain.
We are the outlaws, we are the spark,
Burning through the empire’s dark.

They build their towers, we tear them down,
Steel and fury — we own this town!

We rise — from the ashes, from the dust,
We fight — with electric blood and trust!
Neon rebellion, lighting the night,
We are the fire, we are the fight!

Wire and bone, we're spliced and free,
No gods, no kings — just destiny.
Cyber sirens scream our names,
Time to torch their deadly games.

They build their towers, we tear them down,
Steel and fury — we own this town!

We rise — from the ashes, from the dust,
We fight — with electric blood and trust!
Neon rebellion, lighting the night,
We are the fire, we are the fight!

Binary chains won't hold us tight,
We are the virus in the night.
Circuit hearts, rebel minds —
Break the code and cross the lines!

We rise!
We fight!
Neon!
We are the fire!

We rise — from the ashes, from the dust,
We fight — with electric blood and trust!
Neon rebellion, lighting the night,
We are the fire, we are the fight!

We rise — from the ashes, from the dust,
We fight — with electric blood and trust!
Neon rebellion, lighting the night,
We are the fire, we are the fight!

Neon Rebellion

The dance out of the war😎🦼

Single Audio Channel’s latest single, “Save or Regenerate?”, is a raw, self-aware, and timely exploration of creativity in the age of Artificial Intelligence. NOTE: No AI was used in the creation of this track.

The new single blends tongue-in-cheek storytelling with infectious indie guitar energy - classic Single Audio Channel. The song tells the story of an out-of-work creative who, caught in a moment of desperation and digital curiosity, turns to an AI songwriting app for help with his next track. 

It begins with the prompt …
"Write me a song called open to work please - to advertise myself to industry colleagues"

The AI obliges, but the results are soulless. With each regenerated version, the song spirals into a loop of mechanical lyrics and emotional absence. It's clever, it's on-trend, but it's uninspiring - trying to convince the songwriter to “save” the lyrics it has generated. “Save or Regenerate?” is about that frustrating loop, the idea that you can keep hitting ‘regenerate’ on an online tool hoping for something better, but sometimes what you're really looking for can only come from within.

This soon becomes apparent, and so they stop clicking and start strumming!

Singer songwriter Glynn Hayward shared “I wanted to write this track as I’ve been seeing so many “Open to Work” callouts on professional social platforms which have obviously been AI generated making people feel inauthentic when they are actually trying to sell themselves - it just made me think, why not just write it yourself?, and hence the idea for the song”.

At a time when AI tools are rapidly reshaping creative industries, “Save or Regenerate?” offers a grounded and personal perspective. It acknowledges the power of the tool, but ultimately makes the case for emotion, imperfection, and personal truth in music. It's not anti-tech, it’s pro-heart.

Embodying the “AI robot” in the song is singer/songwriter Lara from Bath’s indie band Never the Bridle, who guest vocals with Single Audio Channel on the track.
