this is so fucking powerful. your artistry reminds me a lot of The Velvet Teen, and Rescue. Rescue is a little more obscure and hard to find, they aren't around anymore but they were from around Detroit Michigan.

your music is fucking so good, my dude. this very much reminds me of that band I was talking about, Rescue. they haven't been around since like the mid 2000s. this feels like a spiritual successor that I really needed to hear. 

Hey man like the grooves. Also the vocal style absolutely suits this track. The only thing which could have better is if you used actual guitars for the recording. Or u might have used actual guitars. If that’s the case then the guitar tone could have been a little better. Overall fantastic job mate. A big 👍🏻

Current Status is : Version 2

Lyrics:

We used to share every thought and emotion
I used to know you better than my own skin
When I was bitter you could always cheer me up
We used to be best friends but now we're out of touch


I rememeber
We were always together
Now we never
Talk to each other, whatever

Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas
You and I know, how this is

Going to end, we say we are friends
No effort is taken, this doesn't make sense
You're living your life, I'm living mine,
Every year goes by so fast, we don't have time

To meet up, to hang out
Sometimes I just wanna scream and shout,
I ask myself, are you thinking of me?
Why's it so hard, just to grab a coffee


We used to share every thought and emotion
I used to know you better than my own skin
When I was bitter you could always cheer me up
We used to be best friends but now we're out of touch


we know how it goes, we dont have to choose
i know, oh i know what it's like to lose
counting down the day till the weekend
cause its you i've been missing
you've been getting high while i'm feeling low
but you're the only one i've been feeling though


I don't even know who you are anymore
You don't know who I am, or what I adore
All these years have gotten us so far apart
We were mad in love now we're breaking each others hearts


We used to share every thought and emotion
I used to know you better than my own skin
When I was bitter you could always cheer me up
We used to be best friends but now we're out of touch

The Reason I'm Here (feat. Dreams of Lasers)

Hello my friends,

I'm super excited to share with you my latest song. This one is extremely special to me. When creating music, I found myself struggling with trying to create works of art that resonated with not only myself, but with others as well. After receiving a ton of negative feedback on my track I had made for Bentley, depression really kicked in. I felt lost as an artist. We all know that depression can snowball and I truly started feeling the weight of it.

One day, I decided to not go for any particular genre and just make a song from whatever flowed out of me. No copying of any sound, no trying to create music for a targeted audience, no genre restrictions. I strove to create a song that was purely an expression of my feelings and musical growth as an artist. 

That is how Catharsis came to be. It felt so freeing not being restricted. When I put aside self doubt and just focused on showing the growth I've had as an artist, I felt like I was flying, free from my emotional turmoils I had been feeling.

I hope you enjoy this track as much as I enjoyed creating it. Please remember that you are amazing in whatever you do and not to doubt yourself because, while we all struggle, its what we do to overcome them that matters. 

With love,
Soran Leif

Producer Life

Made, a wrong turn lost my way
Lost myself, where, I don't want to stay
Made, bad decisions for awhile 
Got turned around, by the tears of a crocodile 
One less mistake would, put me back on track
I'm a heart attack, away from being in the ground

So much that we wanted was out of reach
And they wanted to tell a lie
that's what they'd preach

Find the least worst way to go
It might be wrong but maybe just a little less so
After I've fallen down, I get back up 
I never learn that enough is enough

So much that we wanted was out of reach
And they wanted to tell a lie
that's what they'd preach
You were never much of a go getter
Yeah that's what they said
Now it's going from Bad to Better 
but it's in my head (you can never go back)

Half measures are better than none. 
Half step closer to getting it done. 
Not exactly to the letter 
but moved it from bad to better


Special thanks to LOHM for some production help.

Bad to Better ft. Somewhat Incognito

Hello everyone!

I'm excited to share my latest track with everyone. For Decisions, I wanted to build the world of someone who is struggling with inner thoughts about past experiences. As if taking a different approach would have changed the outcome to the situation. I know the there are times where I wonder how my life would have been if I had chosen differently.

For the actual sound of the song, I wanted to explore more of an organic feel while giving it a bit of groove. Just like Glimpses of You and Catharsis, I've been using more of a subtle touch when it comes to mastering so that all the tones sit better in the mix without fighting each other for center stage. 

Thank you so much for taking time to listen to my music. It means the world to me and extremely appreciated. I hope you nothing but the best my friends. Until next time!

With love,
Soran Leif

Lyrics:

A rainy day
With family photos in the morning
are you ready?

And the boy
he don't want to
so hes swinging 
and hes jumping
and hes tumbling on the floor

oh honey,
wheres my sweater?
you know the grey one that i always used to wear

family photos
family photos on a Saturday 
in the rain, oh no

do we look pretty?
do we look pretty?
in our sweaters in the fall.

dont we look pretty?
for our family photos this year.

fix your hair
and stand right there
get a little closer
and smile real big
after each click
move a little bit 
after each click
move a little bit
(2x)

family photos
family photos on a Saturday 
in the rain, oh no

do we look pretty?
do we look pretty?
in our sweaters in the fall.

Lyrics:

Baby, 
take a little bath get clean
Fall and bump your head on the
corner of a vanity

heart attack
give your dad a heart attack
give your dad a heart attack
give your dad a heart attack

Child see
you gotta wait to cross the street
you got ahead , away of me
I cought you by the shirt, barely

heart attack
you give your dad a heart attack
you give your dad a heart attack
you give your dad a heart attack

You'll Give Your Dad A Heart Attack
