Based on the Canadian slang term for “people-pleaser” or “teacher’s pet,” This track is an exploration of the turmoil associated with giving your all to someone who doesn’t reciprocate. It’s a journey of healing as you realize that the pain has made you stronger, whilst the naivety has made them complacent and oblivious to what is really going on.

Keener

An acoustic homage to a Canadian classic, and a powerful representation of self-improvement and self-belief against mountainous odds and uncertain obstacles.

Day By Day (Acoustic)

A track that delves into the feelings of nostalgia for a simpler time in life and poses the question of whether being with someone is alll your really need in life.

A reflection on the growing divide between the young and old guard. It ponders the question of which means of thought lead to prosperity or if we are inevitably doomed to fail at the hands of our own self-determination.

Whyte Noise (Clean)

A tumultuous look at relationships that presents the simplicity of things not appearing as they seem. It delves into the nature of romantic entanglement where it can result in a coin toss and what effect that has on the human psyche. How far is one willing to seek companionship and what effects can past relationships have on our current ones?

Coin Toss

It is a soultry, sexy track about the blossoming of a new love and leaving the past behind while you have your eyes on the finish line. It brings a rock edge similar to that of 2010s era Arctic Monkeys and has lines galore that would fit perfectly in someone's Tumblr bio.

On My Mind

A Wistful tune that contemplates the struggles of everyday life and finding the joy and realness in a sea of facades.

Nightlight

[Intro]
Yeah…
Stumbled out my kitchen like it’s some cathedral,
Half-eaten cereal sittin’ like a sequel.
Phone screen cracked, but it still show me love,
Feels like the universe laugh when I look above.

[Verse 1]
I got a shoebox full of dreams under my bed,
Rent late again but I’m rich in my head.
Neighbors knockin’, say the music too loud,
But it’s therapy, baby, I’m drownin’ in the sound.
Couple empty bottles like trophies on the shelf,
Talkin’ to my past like it still knows itself.
Life’s a sitcom, I just play the fool,
Laughin’ at the mirror ‘cause it’s breakin’ all the rules.

[Chorus]
Oooooh, I’ve been fallin’ through the night,
Oooooh, tryna make the wrongs feel right.
Oooooh, got my demons in the rearview,
But I’m still ridin’, yeah, I’m still ridin

[Verse 2]
I left my notebook in the laundromat,
Now my rhymes smell fresh, can you top that?
Bus driver winked when I missed my stop,
Guess even the universe knows I can’t cope.
I got burnt toast with a side of hope,
Tryna tie these loose ends with a frayin’ rope.
But it’s funny, ain’t it? How the chaos sings,
I’m a queen with a gold crown from Burger King.

[Chorus]

Oooooh, I’ve been fallin’ through the night,
Oooooh, tryna make the wrongs feel right.
Oooooh, got my demons in the rearview,
But I’m still ridin’, yeah, I’m still ridin’.

[Bridge]

Tell my landlord I paid in laughter,
Tell my past self “happily ever after.”
World’s on fire, but I found me a match,
Light another verse, let the smoke detach.

[Final Chorus]

Oooooh, I’ve been fallin’ through the night,
Oooooh, tryna make the wrongs feel right.
Oooooh, got my demons in the rearview,
But I’m still ridin’, yeah, I’m still ridin’.

223 [DEMO]

I’ve been opened, sewn, scanned, and sent home more times than I’d care to count. After a while it stops feeling like survival and starts feeling like routine. The body memorizes the drill, the mind learns to wait its turn, and somewhere in the repetition you start to laugh at how ordinary it’s become. “Cut Me Clean” isn’t about pain or triumph. It’s about the maintenance of being alive. You heal, you return, you do it again. Not because you’re strong, but because you still can.

False Alarms

“Stratton Glasses” is a grunge-leaning alt-rock story about seeing the world through a different lens — literally and metaphorically. Inspired by the George Stratton inversion experiments and the 90s grunge mindset, this track dives into perspective, distortion, and finding meaning in the upside-down.”

Stratton Glasses

A late-night Latin pop groove inspired by the moment a quiet café turns into a neon-lit nightclub. “Ojos Café” follows a chance meeting between crystal-blue eyes and warm brown eyes — sparks flying as the music shifts, lights change, and the night wakes up.

If this track finds you at the right moment, leave a comment. I read every one. ❤️

21 year old new musician from Alberta, Canada just on the grind to put out music for everyone to relate to

FR4CTUR3D is an experimental composer and singer-songwriter who turns raw experience into sound. Born with bidirectional synesthesia, he doesn’t just hear music; he sees and feels it as shifting color and form. Living with chronic leukemia, he writes from a place where fragility and resilience meet. His songs move between cinematic layers and stripped-down confessionals, each piece a translation of emotion into vibration. Featured on Rolling Hype for “turning noise into meaning,” FR4CTUR3D creates not for fame but for connection... so others can find strength in the beauty that survives. Every note carries the pulse of persistence, a reminder that even fractured things can still shine when given the chance to be heard.
