Lyrics:

You said you’re done with coin-flip love—
heads they fade, tails they run.
Left your heart on a crowded shelf,
kept the dust, lost the sun.
I’ve been here through the quiet nights,
phone on low, porch light warm.
If you need somewhere safe to land,
say the word—I’ll hold form.

No fireworks, no painted sky,
just steady hands that follow through.
If slow and honest fits you best,
set the pace—I’ll move with you.

Let me in when the rain starts coming down,
I’ll be the line you can sing above this town.
Let me in when the doubts get loud and cruel—
I’ll be the calm that pulls you through.
If you want something simple, something true,
let me in—let me stand next to you.

You said you’re tired of borrowed heat—
matches bright till 2 a.m.
Promises that flared too fast,
every glow gone by ten.
I’ve got pages we haven’t used,
open roads, open skies;
we can dim every light in the room
and still be seen with our eyes.

I won’t rush your healing time,
I’ll keep each step in view.
We can move like a favorite record—
click, then groove, then see it through.

Let me in when the rain starts coming down,
I’ll be the line you can sing above this town.
Let me in when the doubts get loud and cruel—
I’ll be the calm that pulls you through.
If you want something simple, something true,
let me in—let me stand next to you.

Say the word—unlock the door,
I’ll meet you right there on the floor. (right there)

Let me in when the rain starts coming down,
I’ll be the line you can sing above this town.
Let me in when the doubts get loud and cruel—
I’ll be the calm that pulls you through.
If you want something simple, something true,
let me in—let me stand next to you.

If you’re ready, say it too—
let me in, I’ll stand next to you.

Let me in when the rain starts coming down,
I’ll be the line you can sing above this town.
Let me in when the doubts get loud and cruel—
I’ll be the calm that pulls you through.
If you want something simple, something true,
let me in—let me stand next to you.

Try Me

[Verse 1]
The last couple of years have been hard on me
But I’ve been hard on people too
I’ve suffered setbacks that changed the course
Of the narrative I once knew

The setting and the characters 
Have changed—nothing’s the same
And I’m the only character 
That’s here that I can blame

[Pre-Chorus]
New stories can be told
New stories never grow old

[Chorus]
Tell me again that it can be done
No the clock hasn’t run out on me
Say you believe it and I will too
Cuz I believe 
I believe in new stories

[Verse 2]
I can’t see past the mountain tops
Or know where my road goes
And I must take the good with the bad
Cuz that’s the road I chose

Comedy or tragedy 
Both will play their part
And when the disappointment comes
I’ll believe with all my heart

[Pre-Chorus]
New stories can be told
New stories never grow old
 
[Chorus]
Tell me again that it can be done
No the clock hasn’t run out on me
Say you believe it and I will too
Cuz I believe, I believe—in new stories

[Pre-Chorus Outro]
New stories
Can be told
New stories
Never grow old
New stories 
I believe in
New stories

CITY RITUAL

Welcome to the pulsating heart of the city, where every sunrise awakens possibility and every sunset whispers stories across neon horizons. City Ritual weaves the soundtrack to your daily rites—those electrifying, soulful, and deeply personal moments that define who you are. Our music is a luminous blend of West Coast dreams and metropolitan magic: ocean breezes tangled with city lights, hypnotic rhythms that shimmer like sun on water, and radiant melodies that let you breathe, move, and let go.

Dive into a mosaic of sound—laid-back beats and sultry house grooves, euphoric hip-hop, meditative spoken word, and cross-cultural fusions that glide effortlessly between Greek, Spanish, Italian, and Cuban influences. This is freedom in melody, an invitation to lose yourself and rediscover your ritual: the morning motivation, the midnight release, the triumphant win, and the gentle exhale at day’s end.

City Ritual is not just music. It’s a celebration of modern soul—a vibrant, ever-evolving playlist for the rituals that make us unique, powerful, and alive. Whether you’re chasing the sun, walking city streets, or surrendering to the night, let these sounds elevate your journey and guide you back to your own sacred rhythm.

This is the anthem for those who move with intention, who embrace change, and who honor the rituals that shape their stories. This is City Ritual—where the city meets the coast, and the soundtrack of your life begins.

Let go. Tune in. Live your ritual and the night is always young.
