Floating
Drifting
Soft 
And warm

Floating
Drifting
Soft 
And warm

Breathe

Dreaming of the light 
Sleeping by your side

Umbilical Love

DISCLAIMER

The song,  «As if the Night Could Forget»  is  an exploration of  love,  trauma, and the tension between desire and care — highlighting how a trauma can, unfortunately, distort intimacy. At its heart, it tells the story of a relationship where one partner seeks pain and roughness — possibly as a way to feel loved or to reenact old wounds — while the other partner refuses to cross that line, instead offering to protect rather than harm even when asked.  The song is about a way to redefine love away  from destructive cycles — choosing to support someone through their pain without exacerbating it, and demonstrating love through kindness and respect rather than aggression and domination. The song is dedicated to Liette and to all those who suffer from PTSD who are in need of healing.

MORTIS QUO

[Verse 1]
A wanting flame impatient and alive
licking at shadows where secrets hide
dusk dripping red across the sky
heartbeats cracked open pushing against the tide

[Pre-Chorus]
Hands that grip like a wildfire’s breath
an ache that dances near death

[Chorus]
Red—laughter split open when air runs out
Red—the burn that pulls me to you
Red—falling into you falling into flame
Red—where ruin and desire taste the same

[Verse 2]
The heat catches on eager spurs
a body arched a spine backed to a wall
wild and aching lungs full of breath
we’re ready to sear and make sparks collide

[Pre-Chorus]
A heart draped in passion’s impatience
lovers melting where their embers hide

[Chorus]
Red—laughter split open when air runs out
Red—the burn that pulls me to you
Red—falling into you falling into flame
Red—where ruin and desire taste the same

[Bridge]
When the air runs out we breathe in heat
spin into the blaze—no surrender no retreat
born from the spark undone in a flash
we burn together—only red turns to ash

[Chorus]
Red—laughter split open when air runs out
Red—the burn that pulls me to you
Red—falling into you falling into flame
Red—where ruin and desire taste the same

This is a total makeover of one of my previous works from over ten years ago (Tylosand Flashback). With a change of DAW and newfound interest, the track received a whole new life. The foreground guitar is an inspirational shout to another Soundcloud creator newly stumbled upon from my end, PSK (of course, my take does no justice to his perceived “real guitar skills”, but an inspiration nevertheless). 

Thanks for listening. If you enjoy it, pls like and/or repost if you want, which would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Cut Away

"Sherpa Dance
Frozen breath, slow steps.
Thoughts dissolve in falling snow.
Nothing but the climb."

SHERPA DANCE evokes the meditative trance of high-altitude movement - a hypnotic fusion of sub-bass flow, granular snow textures, and bright micro-structured swipes. Inspired by the rhythm of breath and footsteps in the Himalayas.

SHERPA DANCE

The pleading is really about lost friendships, a burial and a cry at the occasional feel of emotional emptiness all in one. If you enjoy, please do not hesitate to like, repost and drop a line, which would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

"We ran and ran
Breathless, never looking back
The hunt behind us
Our path ahead"
