🎧 Somewhere in the Static – A Dreamy Protest Song Made from Real News
A warm, analog-inspired ballad stitched from global chaos… by NewsMoose

Hey there, listener.
Ever felt like the world’s falling apart, but the songs on the radio feel... hollow?
This one’s different.
“Somewhere in the Static” is a 1960s-style harmony-driven song made from real headlines—layered in vibraphones, theremin, upright bass, and finger-plucked hope. It’s what the world might sound like... if we actually stopped and listened.

This isn’t just a protest song. It’s a soft rebellion.

🌍 Perfect moment to listen to this:
Late at night, when the headlines hit harder than the beats

Driving alone, thinking deeply about where we’re all headed

Anytime you want to feel calm and connected to the real world

[Intro]  
somewhere in the static hum  
where no wires come undone  
there I hum a quiet tune  
hoping peace might follow soon  

[Verse 1]  
eye wanna bee where the sky feels clear  
not where sirens ring in fear  
eye wanna bee where the sea don't burn  
where tides don't turn from what we learn  

[Chorus]  
always searching static peace  
held inside a dream  
thought the silence meant release  
but it's louder than it seems  

[Verse 2]  
eye wanna bee where the books still grow  
not where AI calls the show  
eye wanna bee in a common song  
where borders fade but voices strong  

[Verse 3]  
eye wanna bee where no guards wait  
not in streets that simmer hate  
eye wanna bee where the laws still bend  
toward justice that don’t pretend  

[Chorus]  
always searching static peace  
held inside a dream  
thought the silence meant release  
but it's louder than it seems  

[Outro]  
this ain’t just a song — it’s a sign  
from moose who reads between the lines  
if you felt the truth, come back and roam  
but if not — thanks for stopping home

In Your Dreams

"Surface Level" captures the weary reality of small talk; the repetitive, hollow exchanges that dominate social life but feel emotionally empty. The song acknowledges the necessity of these shallow interactions in today’s world while expressing a quiet longing for deeper, authentic connection. It balances honest reflection with subtle hope for breaking free from surface-only communication.

Surface Level

Every winter Southern Right and Humpback whales migrate along the east coast of Tasmania seeking out warmer waters in which to breed. They are frequent visitors to Wedge Bay where I live, and signal that winter has definitely arrived. Of course, sightings on their return journey herald the coming of a long-awaited summer, and a relief from the chilly, damp weather.

Winter Song AUD

A cinematic alt-pop track about choosing to live boldly and learn from others, rather than wasting life waiting.

Living, Not Waiting

This song is about growing up in New Orleans and remembering the great times we all had growing up in the 70's and 80's as a young person. 

Day's Gone Past

For my future daughter-in-law. I've spent the last month trying to get these words right. This song is my attempt to capture her incredible spirit—the way she tackles stress by baking, the way she maps out a plan when things get chaotic, and the amazing partnership she's building. It's a simple, heartfelt tune about a truly wonderful person.

(Verse 1)
Hair like a struck match in a crowded room
A laugh that pops and chases out the gloom
You'd think the world just rolls right off her back
Doesn't own a suitcase she can't pack

(Chorus)
But when the pressure starts to find a way in
The flour flies, the rolling pin begins
A little butter, sugar, something sweet
To calm the frantic rhythm of the beat
And when the details get too finicky
She writes a map of what's supposed to be
A three-layer plan, 
She's the perfect recipe

(Verse 2)
She's got a class that's chasing big ideas
Juggling lesson plans and calming student fears
While some folks curse or just accept their fate
She finds a way to get things straight
And sketches out a timeline, bold and new
Column A, and what Column B would do

(Chorus)
'Cause when the pressure starts to find a way in
The flour flies, the rolling pin begins
A little butter, sugar, something sweet
To calm the frantic rhythm of the beat
And when the details get too finicky
She writes a map of what's supposed to be
A three-layer plan, 
She's the perfect recipe

(Verse 3)
She met her match, another open book
Who loves the method, not just how things look
A shared direction, pointing to the sun
Two separate journeys blending into one
He'll dream the outline, she'll perfect the plan
He'll never be a hungry, or a lonely man

(Chorus)
So when the pressure starts to find a way in
The flour flies, the rolling pin begins
A little butter, sugar, something sweet
To calm the frantic rhythm of the beat
And when the details get too finicky
She writes a map of what's supposed to be
A three-layer plan, 
She's the perfect recipe

(Bridge)
It’s not about the cake, you understand
It’s the heft of the whisk there in her hand
It’s not the schedule, printed black and white
It’s a little patch of dark, made a little bright
Just one small corner of the universe
That she can fix before it gets much worse

(Chorus)
So when the pressure starts to find a way in
The flour flies, let the whole thing begin
A little butter, sugar, something sweet
To calm the frantic rhythm of the beat
And when the details get too finicky
She makes a world of what's supposed to be
A three-layer plan... her perfect recipe

She's the perfect recipe
She's the perfect recipe

She's the Perfect Recipe

Once In Every Lifetime

A melancholic cinematic pop/rock song about wandering through life with a sense of emotional distance. The narrator walks through familiar places but feels invisible, weighed down by memories and unspoken words. The “empty horizons” symbolize a future that feels both wide open and quietly suffocating. The song blends loneliness, nostalgia, and quiet yearning into a drifting, atmospheric mood.

Empty Horizons

An Invitation

I don’t write to lead a chorus. I write to leave a light.
These songs are only footnotes — echoes reminding us that struggle and hope never vanish, they only wait for new voices to rise.

Everyone has a voice. Yours is no lesser, no greater than another. Each carries its own truth, and each truth belongs in the song.

Whatever your path — through faith or doubt, joy or grief, belonging or difference — your story matters. Your words can name the weight you carry, or sketch the world you still believe is possible.

So write. Whisper or roar, it makes no difference. A single verse, honest and clear, can carry further than you expect.

Together, these voices weave the chorus. Not owned by one, not silenced by power, but held in common. If my words spark even one more verse, then the song is larger than me — and the story continues.

1. The Core Philosophy: "Serve First, Lead Second"
The central tenet of servant leadership, as coined by Robert K. Greenleaf, is that a leader's primary motivation is a genuine desire to serve others. This is a direct contrast to traditional leadership models where the leader's goal is to amass power, control, or personal gain.


Humility in Action: A humble person naturally puts the needs of others before their own. For a servant leader, this isn't just a tactic; it's an internal compass. They don't see themselves as being "above" the people they lead. Instead, they see their role as a steward of the organization, responsible for helping others thrive.


2. The Inverted Hierarchy
Traditional leadership operates on a pyramid structure, with the leader at the top and everyone else below. Servant leadership inverts this pyramid. The leader is at the bottom, supporting the team and lifting them up.


Humility in Action: This visual metaphor perfectly represents humility. A humble leader doesn't need to be on top to feel powerful. Their influence comes from empowering others. They are secure enough in their own abilities that they don't feel threatened by the success or growth of their team members. In fact, they celebrate it.

3. The Shift from Positional Authority to Moral Authority
A traditional leader commands through their title or position. A servant leader, on the other hand, leads through persuasion, trust, and the respect they earn from their team.

Humility in Action: Instead of saying, "Do this because I'm the boss," a servant leader says, "This is what we need to accomplish. How can I help you do your best work?" They listen more than they speak, and they value the team's ideas and input more than their own. This requires a profound level of humility—the recognition that the best ideas can come from anywhere, not just from the person at the top.

4. Key Traits of a Servant Leader that are Rooted in Humility


Many of the most commonly cited characteristics of servant leaders are direct expressions of humility:

Listening: A humble leader knows they don't have all the answers and is genuinely interested in hearing the perspectives of others.

Empathy: The ability to understand and share the feelings of another person is an act of putting yourself aside to connect with someone else's experience.

Stewardship: This is the mindset that you are entrusted with the well-being of the organization and its people, rather than owning them.

Commitment to the Growth of People: Humble leaders see the intrinsic value in every individual and are invested in their personal and professional development, even if it means they eventually surpass the leader.

In essence, humility is the internal attitude that makes servant leadership possible. Without humility, a leader who tries to "serve" might just be using it as a manipulative tactic to gain control or popularity. True servant leadership comes from an authentic, humble desire to put the needs of others first. It is, as the saying goes, "thinking of yourself less, not thinking less of yourself."

Solive Raye is the sound of solitude given form, quiet thoughts turned into raw, melodic truths. An engineer and lifelong observer, Solive Raye writes for those who feel alone in crowded rooms, where silence speaks louder than words.


Blending dark, atmospheric tones with flickers of hope, his music lives in the in-between: not quite despair, not quite light, but something honest.


Raised in movement, from football fields to refereeing lines, he now wanders more internal landscapes, shaping every lyric with the precision of an outsider looking in.


Solive Raye doesn’t shout. He resonates.

The New Union Alley Album is now available on CD and Vinyl here https://elasticstage.com/unionalley

Union Alley is the creative moniker of UK guitarist and songwriter Phil Brookes, who—like many musicians—found himself at a crossroads during the global pandemic of 2020. With live music on hold and traditional industry paths shuttered, Brookes pivoted from his established role as a gigging guitarist and ventured into a new, more collaborative musical lane.

Known for his work on acclaimed UK funk outfit Funkshone’s critically respected albums Shining (2008) and 2 (2012), released on Skyline Recordings (UK) and P-Vine (Japan), Brookes had spent years performing across the UK and Europe and playing live BBC radio sessions. 

But when the world paused in 2020, his creative drive didn’t.

From this pause emerged Union Alley—a songwriting project rooted in collaboration, spontaneity, and a deep well of musical influences. Union Alley became a space where Brookes could blend his studio-honed musicianship with the connective power of the internet, inviting a revolving cast of artists to help shape each song into something unique.

With each release, Union Alley continues to defy genre boundaries, weaving together classic songwriting craft with modern sensibilities—proof that from disruption can come reinvention, and from isolation, rich musical connection.
