Description: Smooth jazz track about a guy who re-discovers love after his wife dies...

"Felt like Tom Hanks in Castaway. I'm back, though I'm not the same. People I'd known had forgotten my name. She brought me back, ready to play the game..." Great lyrics!!!

Didn't expect the smooth vocals...I am a fan! I want to hear more!

I was truly captivated by your music the sound pulled me in right away. It's so unique and filled with emotion. I'm really curious to know: what inspires your creative process?

Ten Million Reasons

“Sinking into the Sea” is a song about feeling lost and empty after the end of a meaningful connection. It captures that moment when you realize there’s nothing left to save, and even sinking becomes a kind of release rather than something to fear.

The lyrics move between everyday images and emotional fragility, balancing on the edge between calmness and inner storm. It’s an intimate journey through pain that slowly turns into acceptance—between sleepless nights, the silence left by someone who’s gone, and the need to feel truly alive, even when everything seems to fall apart.

A raw, honest track that blends singing and spoken word to deliver real, unfiltered emotion.

Sinking into the Sea

Ragea Tani Leh

The boy they left behind who chose to burn

That feeling of knowing your person is out there somewhere but you haven't found them yet.

Cosmic Yearning

Heavy clouds, mind's a storm I can't outpace
Tears on my cheek, running laps in this empty space
Mirror tells lies, or maybe it’s me
Every path I take feels like a dead-end street

Thought I’d find answers in the glow of my phone
Scrolling through lives, but I’m still on my own
Heart's in my throat, voice drowned in the noise
Searching for a sign, just static, no choice

Every move, second-guessed
Every breath, feels compressed

Don’t know what to do, where to go, who to be
Lost in the fog, can’t even see me
Echoes in my head, they won't leave me alone
I’m screaming for directions, but the map's overthrown

Tried to draw a line, but the ink just fades
Dreams turn to shadows in the mess I’ve made
Walking through the dark, no stars in the sky
Every step feels shallow, no wings to fly

Voices whisper "stay," but the ground ain't safe
Running in circles, can't escape my own face
Tried to fake smiles, but they slip through my teeth
Crumbling like sand, my soul underneath

Tribute to Wed-nes-day. When D’ya needs Die

When D’ya Needs Die

Drama Queen

4TRAX composes in quiet defiance—“Sonata for Shadows” is a whispered reckoning, a duet between the one who builds and the one who watches. Structured like a classical sonata but dripping in ambient dread and spectral warmth, this track moves through grief, reflection, and eventual reconciliation. The ghost doesn’t haunt—it advises. The beat doesn’t drop—it exhales.

Operatic samples float like memories, while dub swells anchor the truths left unsaid. This is music for the in-between: between failure and forgiveness, intention and execution, past and possibility. It’s not about defeating darkness. It’s about giving it a desk, a voice, a seat at the boardroom of your becoming.

7. SONATA FOR SHADOWS

You won't leave us to fall in the dark, if we seek You with all of our hearts.

To Know You is to Love You

R&B & Soul, bluesy song about a guy who has romantic feelings about a girl who only sees him as shoulder to cry on.

Heart-to-Heart

Song about summer love that ended too soon.
