They tried one time to hold it down,
You're never gonna get very far.
I hold my breath until the end,
You go back to who you are.

You'll never know if you don't try,
You've never lived 'till you've died.
I missed my train.
You'll never know if you don't try,
You've never lived 'till you've died.
I missed that train.

And all the people saw the light leave your eyes,
And then the ruler beckoned to the skies.

They tried one time to hold it down,
You're never gonna get very far.
I hold my breath until the end,
You go back to who you are.

They tried one time to hold it down,
You're never gonna get very far.
I hold my breath until the end,
You go back to who you are.

You'll never know if you don't try,
You've never lived 'till you've died.
I missed my train.
You'll never know if you don't try,
You've never lived 'till you've died.
I missed that train.

Narcissists is a independent electronic music project from Preston, Lancashire. Established in 2022, and releasing their debut album Opening Move the same year.

Opening Move, combines retro influences with an energetic, modern rock sound, not disimilar from Harry Styles or The Strokes. 

Opening Move saw some exposure upon release on Wythenshawe FM Radio, The Amos Madra Show and Amazing Radio Afternoons.

In November 2022, performing live atop an art gallery in Manchester, Narcissists made their live debut at the ABC Building, playing on the roof of the gallery in the glass amphitheatre as part of an event organised by House of Art and Heads Magazine.

Narcissists were also interviewed and featured in an article published by Blossom Magazine, an organisation also based in Manchester.

In December 2022, Narcissists performed at The Ferret, a legendary live music venue in Preston, Lancashire. Supporting popular rock band Sugarstone in a bid to save struggling venues affected by the pandemic.

In 2023, Narcissists released King's Gambit, their second studio album. The album featured a post-modern, electronically woven sound. Drawing inspiration from a wide range of electronic styles.

Dark Skies was used as the official soundtrack to popular Internet soap opera "Skew Bridge," crafted by the team from award winning playwriter Jim Cartwright.

First recorded in December 2022.
From the album Salt.

It's a song about the castle.

This new version was mixed and mastered by

LYRICS

There's a castle that stands,
on a hill, above the sands,
while the people below,
hatch some plans. 
Though the fields and the trees,
are packed with stupidity.
Might be you, could be me,
naturally.

These were the ways.
That they kept you in place.
These were the ways.
Back in the days.

As the castle looks down,
ashen faced, in the town, 
oh, the people they frown,
looking down.
And they never glance up,
at these rocks they've piled above, 
piled for years, piled with tears,
piled with love. 

These were the ways.
That they kept you in place.
These were the ways.
Back in the days.

The castle surrounds, 
a cliff top, above the town, 
seabirds cry,
as they circle around 
Control has no bounds,
like a face in the clouds,
looking down at the state of the town. 

And what will we be.
For one thing, were not free.
There's a castle, 
which watches, 
you go.

Castles [2024 Remaster]

First recorded in February 2023.
From the album After Bar Sinister.

It's a song about me dog dying.

This new version was mixed and mastered by
Woods Studio Norway Mixing and Mastering 
www.soundcloud.com/woods_studio 

LYRICS

Chucking away.
The time you thought you'd saved up.
Just a lot of descents. 
You're putting off your makeup.
Till they've had their say.
Now you are feeling lonely.
The world turning grey.
They all get a say. 

Can't save it all.
Throw it all away.
Stop saving up for a rainy day. 

The unwritten page.
Your future feeding slowly.
Solely displayed.
So you feel haunted ghostly.
A blanket of rage.
A warming cloth of kindness.
A look of dismay.
A feeling obeyed.

Can't save a thing.
Not a piece of cake.
It's never yours, it just goes to waste.

Can't waste a thing.
As it slips away.
No point in waiting for a chosen day.

Next thing you know.
You've got a ways to go.
But you cannot know.
If you will get a go.
Time can go slow,
But also run away from.
And quickly fade.
A sudden shade.

Can't save it all.
Throw it all away.
Stop saving up for a rainy day.

A song about moving on without the ones you thought would be with you.

don't talk

Sheet Music

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

Lots of acoustic and electric guitar’s meshed with an up beat rhythm to liven up the mood just like a sunrise wakes you up.

Acoustic Sunrise

"One More Night" is the sound of screaming into the void—but, like, in a catchy way. It’s an explosive blend of indie rock, emo, Midwest emo, post-hardcore, packed with soaring hooks, gut-punch lyrics, and just the right amount of chaos. The kind of song that makes you wanna cry, mosh, and text your ex all at the same time. Play it loud, sing it louder, and try not to overthink your life choices… or do.

One more night

It's been a while since I've had the urge to upload something. I hope you guys enjoy it! 

Here We Go Again (Prod. waytoolost)

"The Crowells were the first people I met who never said something was red. They'd say a thing was puce or mauve or magenta or vermillion and I wouldn't know if that was more like red or green. They called me color deaf." 
This lovely little story is published in The Next Whole Earth Catalog, 1980, p303, The Rising Sun, Neighborhood Newsletter. And this story inspired this tune. 

Color Deaf

lucky to be 

talking about the cold cold wet winter    		
La Nina is promising to bring us this year   		
You say you don’t like wasting time on such small talk 	
But the weather keeps changing in such big big ways   	
And can you deny the size of those waves  		
Can not deny the size of these waves			

We’re shopping at Big Lots store closing sale
We’re looking for bargains on bargains on bargains
Its so much better than the zoo at the wallyworld
You won’t ever find me there on black Friday
But can you deny the size of those savings
You can not deny the size of those savings

We walked to MacDuff’s for a couple of beers 
We sat in the back while the band set up their gear
We snuck out the side door when they started to play
strolled home hand in hand under the moon in the sky
and can you deny the size of that satellite
I can not deny the size of that satellite
you can not deny
aren’t we 
Aren’t we so lucky to be 

I’m holding you tight under the covers
Here in my arms where you’re cozy and warm
And it doesn’t matter if it’s stormy outside
Here in my arms you can weather the storm
And can you deny the size of my love for you
Can not deny the size of my love for you
You can not deny the size of my love for you

Talking about the cold cold wet weather
La Nina is promising to bring us thing year 
You say you don’t mind the cold dark wet days
As long as together we can weather the storm
And can you deny the size of my love for you
Can not deny the size of my love for you
You can not deny the size of my love for you
You can not deny
Aren’t we 
aren’t we so lucky to be
Yes we’re so lucky to be

Lucky to Be

Well, you can run, but you can't hide. 
There's no escape from what's inside.
You can try and write your words out in a song.
But we all show when something's wrong.

When you're only showing one face to the world.
When you're trying to make your mind up on a girl.
When you're escaping this world into your own.
You should know that you can never make it home.

I believe it. 
All the money flies away.
I'll be leaving, but the rest of you can stay.
I remember almost every little phrase.
I was here.
I was here.
The facade... will fade away.

Well, we all live, and we all die.
Imagination helps you get on by.
Is there a constant revolution in your soul?
It's a shame that we all have to get so old.

When you lay there on a morning on your own.
When you can not find a place to rest your bones.
When the nighttime comes to help you get away.
When you find out, it won't matter what you say.

I believe it. 
All the money flies away.
I'll be leaving, but the rest of you can stay.
I remember almost every little phrase.
I was here.
I was here.
The facade... will fade away.

Fade Away

"That Far Forgotten Shore"* by classical composer Jeremias Langsämmer is a breathtaking orchestral journey, blending the grandeur of Western classical tradition with the evocative melodies of the Middle East. This sweeping soundtrack piece unfolds like a memory carried by the wind, its layered strings rising and falling like waves on an ancient shore.  

Deep strings introduce the theme, their rich, resonant tones imbued with longing, before swelling into a rich tapestry of sound—warm cellos, shimmering violas, and soaring violins weaving together in undulating phrases. Beneath them, deep, resonant percussion and plucked Middle Eastern instruments, such as the oud and qanun, add texture and depth, evoking sunlit dunes and distant, forgotten lands.  

The composition moves through shifting tides of emotion, from hushed, introspective passages to bold, cinematic crescendos. A hypnotic, rhythmic motif pulses beneath the orchestration, subtly mirroring the ebb and flow of the sea. The harmonies drift between Western tonality and modal inflections, creating a haunting, timeless atmosphere—both familiar and exotic, distant yet deeply human.  

"That Far Forgotten Shore" is a soundtrack for lost places, for whispered histories and unseen horizons—a piece that lingers in the soul long after the final note fades.

Echoes In The Void

Don’t make a sound ft. Z2MI (Prod. Peril)

This was originally a song I wrote at the start of the pandemic called "Wait for Summer". I've remixed it and reworked it for non-pandemic times. 

Mastering & drums: A7 Recording Studio 

Lyrics:

The winter path has been so dark
Fear of the other left its mark
In many ways the view is stark.
Spring might be all about the rain
It falls in many forms of pain
And effort may seem all in vain.

But we’re all filled with summer and the
Days of walking in the light,
We will greet one another on the path that’s dazzling bright,
We are all here together making music in the night
Forming stars from the shadows and the twilight.

With every friend a pact is made
To help the ones who are afraid,
And words of calm keep fears away.
A simple conversation now
Will rest the mind and soothe the brow,
Resolve to carry on somehow.

We are all filled with summer and the
Days of walking in the light,
We will greet one another on the path that’s dazzling bright,
We are all here together making music in the night,
Forming stars from the shadows and the twilight.

Bright voices sing to us from windows in the sky
Sometimes we hear them when we try.
Our summer choruses respond to them over time,
Their recognition is sublime.

We are all filled with summer and the
Days of walking in the light,
We will greet one another on the path that’s dazzling bright,
We are all here together making music in the night
Forming stars from the shadows and the twilight.

Filled with Summer

cold-blooded is a reminder that you’re not uncool just ‘cause someone else is cold 🍃

Cold Blooded is a power pop/indie pop anthem that came out of a moment that felt both ridiculous and real. I had a writing session the same day as a party I wasn’t invited to—thrown by people I once considered friends. I’d known about it for a while, but when the day actually came, it still stung. Instead of spiraling, I brought that energy into the studio, and the song poured out with my co-writers.

Produced by Nico Lapitino, the track is built on gritty, chugging guitars and layered with atmospheric textures. Cold Blooded balances punchy pop-rock energy with space to feel—it captures that blend of empowerment and vulnerability, feeling hurt but choosing to own it with confidence and bite.

This one’s for anyone who’s ever been iced out, betrayed, or underestimated—and came back stronger. A reminder that your time, presence, and loyalty are valuable. And anyone who doesn’t see that? Their loss.

Cold Blooded

A warm and intimate folk pop ballad built on fingerpicked acoustic guitar, soft male vocals, and subtle string textures.
“I Still Hear You” reflects on the lingering presence of someone who’s no longer there — not in loud words, but in the quiet spaces, in light, in silence.
It’s a song about memory, grief, and emotional stillness — wrapped in organic instrumentation and natural room reverb.

If you enjoy acoustic, singer-songwriter, indie folk, or soft rock with heartfelt lyrics and slow, introspective energy, this one’s for you.

Recorded in a minimalist setting with cello, harmonium, and mandolin, this track leans into emotional detail and quiet dynamics. Best heard on headphones — or late at night.

Slip N Slide centers the feelings of pain surrounding heartbreak. These are the very emotions that paved my entry into making music. We've all been through our love trials and breakups, and if you haven't yet...it's probably on its way. All I know is, it showed me the way and made me who I am today. Know who is good to keep around and know who drains your energy. Hope yall vibe with this one.

Rhythm Call is a neon-rock / kicka$$ rock anthem built for late-night drives, arena energy, and clean-guitar swagger.
This track blends 80s glam metal, alt-country grit, and modern rock aggression — a melodic firestorm that hits like headlights in the dark: tight rhythm guitars, relentless groove, and vocals that punch with stadium-lights intensity.

Hey, brother/sister—this track is personal.
Peace in a Bottle is about beating addiction, hurting someone you love, and fighting your way back to them.
If this hits your heart the way it hit mine when I wrote it, I’d appreciate your repost.
Thank you for giving it a listen.

Peace in a Bottle

This song started as a poem I wrote when I was 13. I added more earlier this year and have just finished it. In all, it is a decade's worth of life lived that went into this. I hope you enjoy. -Trav

I need love

Not only do the sticks and stones hurt, turns out "Words" hurt too.
Is the last thing you say, something you want them to remember you by? 
Blessings to all!
