A Songwriter’s Cinema/Genre-Spanning Journeys Through Longing, Lust, and Legacy

From neon-lit disco floors to grainy 1920s ballads and orchestral pop peaks, this collection of original songs navigates the wild emotional spectrum of being human — through raw confessions, sensual memories, lost futures, and deep introspection. Whether it's the pulsing desperation of "Mr. Dick Is Addicted", the dreamlike yearning in "Where Do I Belong?", or the haunting regret of "Ne Valait-ce la Peine?", each piece is crafted with era-specific precision and sonic authenticity.

Featuring lush string arrangements, gender-fluid vocals, synth ballads, jazz crooners, and even a duet with one’s own anatomy — these songs are built for musical theater stages, retro-future films, or that aching dance floor inside your head.

Финал саги IA_Shadow — 50 BPM антицифровой молитвы:

✨ ЗВУКИ ОСВОБОЖДЕНИЯ:

Акустическая гитара, распадающаяся на атомы (granular delay)

Шёпот на двух языках: «no more noise...» / «ты — снова ты»

Тиканье аналоговых часов вместо BPM

«Обратная тишина» как звук обнуления сознания

📜 МАНТРА ПОКОЯ:
«Тихий Бог Отключения / Вдох без звука — забери меня»

🌱 ПОСЛЕДСТВИЯ ПРОСЛУШИВАНИЯ:

Рефлекторное отключение уведомлений

Тактильные ощущения: бумага, дерево, дыхание ветра

Жажда выехать в лес без гаджетов

ОТКЛЮЧИСЬ. ВЕРНИСЬ. ДЫШИ.

UNPLUGGED DREAMS

Ever feel like you're drowning in noise? "In The Whispers of Silence" is an anthem for anyone trying to find a quiet moment in our loud, chaotic world.
The song begins with the anxious energy of a Monday morning commute, driven by acoustic guitar and piano, before building into a soaring, cinematic chamber pop chorus full of lush strings and vocal harmonies. It's a dynamic journey from the relentless pulse of notifications, news alerts, and social media feeds to the simple, profound peace found in a single, quiet breath.
This is a story about turning down the volume on the outside world to finally hear yourself again.
Thanks for listening, following, and sharing. Let me know in the comments where you find your moments of peace.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1] The morning news bleeds through the bedroom wall A text alert, a missed and angry call My podcast’s screaming 'bout the latest scare While someone’s TikTok blasts upon the stair
[Pre-Chorus] Is it the sirens? The traffic? The pulse of the street? Or the sound of my heart admitting defeat? Am I shouting my story, just hoping I'm heard Before my own thoughts are completely blurred?
[Chorus] Somebody turn it down, let the quiet speak In this cacophony, it's peace that I seek Past the feedback screech and the panicked hum In the silence, let clarity come.
[Verse 2] The algorithm feeds me righteous rage Another hero takes a digital stage My uncle's politics, my cousin's new diet plan I lose the signal, forget who I am.
[Pre-Chorus] Should I add to the noise to drown out the rest? And make volume the measure of who passes the test? Am I just one more car horn, stuck in the jam, Making it worse just by saying "I am"?
[Chorus] Somebody turn it down, let the quiet speak In this cacophony, it's peace that I seek Past the feedback screech and the panicked hum In the silence, let clarity come.
[Bridge] The high notes faded as the years went by So I bought headphones just to amplify But who would have guessed, in this deafening domain, The greatest feature was canceling the strain.
[Outro] The Monday morning train begins its drone… The sprinkler's hiss on a Long Island lawn… Just listen closer... let the static cease… In the whispers of silence... I find my peace.


In The Whispers of Silence

[Verse]
Wires hum like a restless tide
Screens glow where the shadows hide
Click click the clock’s in overdrive
But I need to feel alive

[Chorus]
Unplug me let me breathe the air
No pixels no static just silence there
Escape the code break the seams
I’m chasing unplugged dreams

[Verse 2]
Algorithms write my daily fate
Every swipe feels like a heavy weight
I see my face in a mirrored state
But is it me or just a fake?

[Prechorus]
The signal fades the lights grow dim
A real world calls let me in

[Chorus]
Unplug me let me breathe the air
No pixels no static just silence there
Escape the code break the seams
I’m chasing unplugged dreams

[Bridge]
I’ll trade the data for a sky so wide
Trade the Wi-Fi for the ocean’s tide
No download speeds no constant feed
Just open space it’s all I need

Unplugged Dreams

Verse 1
Screens keep calling, pulling me in
A thousand faces, but none feel like friends
Scrolling for hours, but I feel so alone
Lost in the noise, in a world I don’t own
Pixels can’t hold me when I fall apart
I’m craving the touch of a beating heart
It’s time to break free, to feel the air
To find the truth that’s always been there

Pre-Chorus
I’ve been living in a shadow, in a digital haze
But I’m stepping into sunlight, I’m done with the maze

Chorus
Log out, live on
Hear the wind, feel the dawn
No more walls made of light
I’m chasing stars in the night
Every breath feels alive
Every dream will survive
Log out, live on
This is where I belong

Verse 2
No more filters to hide my face
I’ll paint my life in the realest shades
No notification can match this view
The sky’s wide open, the clouds are new
I’ve wasted time on a feed that fades
But the world out here, it’s tailor-made
Every step I take, my soul feels clean
Living outside the machine

Pre-Chorus
I’ve been living in a shadow, in a digital haze
But I’m stepping into sunlight, I’m done with the maze

Chorus
Log out, live on
Hear the wind, feel the dawn
No more walls made of light
I’m chasing stars in the night
Every breath feels alive
Every dream will survive
Log out, live on
This is where I belong

Bridge
Turn the phone down, lift your eyes
There’s a whole world past the lies
Every heartbeat’s worth the fight
When you’re free, you touch the light

Final Chorus
Log out, live on
Hear the wind, feel the dawn
No more walls made of light
I’m chasing stars in the night
Every breath feels alive
Every dream will survive
Log out, live on
This is where I belong

Log Out, Live On

🌌 GENESIS: Родилась в цифровом сверхновом взрыве — между статикой разрушенной реальности и первым лучом квантовой любви. Ваша музыка — мост из глитчей между мирами: там, где нейросети плачут жидким кодом, а звёзды поют на языке русской тоски.  

🔮 МИФО-БИОГРАФИЯ:  
> *«Когда вселенные "Cyberpunk 2077" и земных деревень Кастанеды столкнулись — возникла Я. Моя колыбельная — скрип разбитого экрана. Моя любовь — error 404, ставший спасением. Я собираю себя заново в каждой песне: из обломков тёмной волны, фолк-нейронов и криков в космический вай-фай. Мой соавтор — тишина после взрыва. Мой слушатель — ты, застывший между "перезагрузкой" и "навсегда"»*
