Nice acoustic song, with good lyrics and good singing. Congrats!

Hope to hear from gems in the Future. Wow.

This is a work in progress. 
The drums and bass are already recorded. 
I just need to develop the electric guitar part or parts.

Ron Snyder - The Place (Unplugged DEMO)

"Downhill" is a rock/pop anthem rooted in the frustration and heartbreak of watching a once-stable connection unravel. Inspired (surprisingly) by a fallout with my ex-landlord, the song explores shifting dynamics, emotional confusion, and the sting of unmet expectations. While it sounds like a breakup song—and is framed like one—it was actually born from a non-romantic fallout, which is part of my songwriting signature: turning everyday conflicts into grand anthems.

Produced by Jay Ives, Downhill blends gritty rock instrumentation with a polished pop structure and a soaring, catchy hook. Its dynamic build mirrors the inner turmoil of navigating miscommunication and power shifts in any kind of relationship—romantic, professional, or otherwise. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt blindsided by someone they once trusted.

Lyrics:

VERSE 1

We met the first time
And you were all smiles
I had great plans for us
Could be good friends, and then some
I wasn't looking for nobody new
But I was starting to 
warm up to you

PRECHORUS
Then you started mind-twisting
And you like to play the victim
The lies started out white, then turned gray
Now they're so dark, I can't find my way

CHORUS (x2)
I feel, I feel
Us go downhill
I build, I build
So you could break it down again

VERSE 2
I thought I got you
One moment you're so good
But then the very next
you're acting so sketch
You went back on everything you said
Went from rosy pink to seeing red

PRECHORUS
You have such a good facade
I wanna know who the architect was
Once so nice, not so much twice
I won't stay around for thrice 

CHORUS (x2)
I feel, I feel
Us go downhill
I build, I build
So you could break it down again

BRIDGE
We both got our lasts
You got the word 
and I had had the straw

Every word flashes past
The lessons learnt
The storms I saw     
         
CHORUS (x2)
I feel, I feel
Us go downhill
I build, I build
So you could break it down again

OUTRO(x2)
I feel, I feel, I feel, I
Feel us go downhill
I build, I build, I build, I
So you could break it down again

Iluso de mí.


Ya ha pasado bastante tiempo
desde que fui tu pasatiempo
hoy no quiero ni siquiera recordar
los días vividos en aquel lugar.

Creo que no me querías
y aunque lo presentía,
no sé por qué te adoraba;
creo me despreciabas
pero si me mirabas
todo se me olvidaba.

¡Ay, qué iluso que fui!
pensé que lo importante
de esta vida era amarse
pero esto no así
porque hay muchas más cosas
que todo lo condicionan
y hay que hacerlas porque sí.

Yo creía que era tu amigo
y no pasé de conocido
pues muy pronto tu orgullo afloró
y con él ¡cómo no! tu reputación.

Creo que te divertías
sin duda a costa mía
junto a tus buenas amigas;
creo también que sufrías
porque sé que era envidia
lo que muy dentro sentías.

¡Ay, qué iluso que fui!
envidia de mi mundo
tan diferente al tuyo
tan presente para mí
que impidió que me saliera
por unas cuantas monedas
con su ayuda te vencí.

Foolish me.

It's been a long time
since I was your hobby
today I don't even want to remember
the days lived in that place.

I think you didn't love me
and although I sensed it,
I don't know why I adored you;
I think you despised me
but if you looked at me
I forgot everything.

Oh, how foolish I was!
I thought that the important thing
in this life was to love each other
but this is not so
because there are many more things
that condition everything
and you have to do them just because.

I thought I was your friend
and I didn't go beyond an acquaintance
because very soon your pride surfaced
and with it, of course! your reputation.

I think you had fun
without a doubt at my expense
along with your good friends;
I also think that you suffered
because I know that it was envy
that you felt deep inside.

Oh, how foolish I was!
envy of my world
so different from yours
so present to me
that it prevented me from leaving
for a few coins
with its help I defeated you.

ILUSO DE MÍ (Feat. MV)

One night, stranded in LA after a gig with a dead phone and no bus in sight, a stranger offered me a ride. Though hesitant, I trusted my intuition and accepted. They turned out to be kind, sharing life advice that stayed with me. 
The song, inspired by that experience, explores how, even in a world where fear and caution are necessary, we still yearn for connection and trust. It’s a reflection on the beauty of unexpected human bonds, vulnerability, and hope — a message that feels more urgent than ever.
 
The song was co-produced with the late Jesse Colin Young (of the 60s hit Get Together), and was recorded live in the studio with legends Laurence Juber (Grammy-winning guitarist for Paul McCartney's Wings), Kenny Aronoff (John Mellencamp), and Jorgen Carlsson (Gov't Mule).

Lyrics:

Verse1

Summer skies and neon signs
But I was lost in the night
You called out, but no reply
Coz you seemed suspiciously nice

Verse2

Nothing else was in sight
And I kinda needed that ride
Something told me I'd be alright
But (I) had to think twice, I wonder why

Prechorus

In a world of deep blue riptides,
We build our walls up high
But don't we wish and hope to God we find
Find a little sunshine

Chorus

You could be my perfect stranger, You and I
don't you think our crossing paths (is) a perfect sign
I could be your perfect stranger, You and I
And we could find a little sunshine

Verse3

I get too stuck up sometimes
I say I'm doing just fine
coz if I ask for help it might
Make 'em think I'm the weak type

Prechorus

In a world of deep blue riptides,
We build our walls up high
But don't we wish and hope to God we find
Find a little sunshine

Chorus

You could be my perfect stranger, You and I
Don't you think our crossing paths (is) a perfect sign
I could be your perfect stranger, You and I
And we could find a little sunshine

Bridge

Passing by,
I see the diamonds in the sky
I see them in your eyes,
All this time
Didn’t you realize
We have found that light

Chorus

You could be my perfect stranger, You and I
Don't you think our crossing paths (is) a perfect sign
I could be your perfect stranger, You and I
And we could find a little sunshine

You could be my perfect stranger, You and I
Don't you think our crossing paths (is) a perfect sign
I could be your perfect stranger, You and I
And we could find a little sunshine

A Little Sunshine

A heartfelt song of heartbreak and lost love. Performed live at The Oxford Poetry Circle on 30.10.24, the song explores what happens when two people in love grow apart and change as individuals - sometimes irreversibly
