Join us in this episode as we wrap up our Identity mini-series with a discussion on how we'd like to be remembered. 

Ignite Youth Podcast - Identity Pt3 - Ep164

"Ein Rocksong über den Moment, in dem man erkennt, dass man sich selbst in jemand anderem verloren hat – und beschließt, sich zurückzuholen. Mirror ist die Wahrheit, vor der man flieht."


A rock anthem about the moment you realize you've lost yourself in someone else – and decide to take your identity back. Mirror speaks the truth we try to avoid."

Making Life Work: Identity

Started with it in December last year, polished for months (sure with breaks), and now the Masquerade can finally be released! It took me a long time to finish, but now the song feels complete and right for myself.... and now I can’t wait to let it out into the night!🥳

Thanks for listening and joining the dance under neon lights!
Lose yourself in synths and rhythm in a midnight Masquerade under neon skies!🎶

Masquerade

今も昔も　僕は僕だと
思い込んでいたけれど
新しい記憶が　胸を突き刺す
誰かの歩んだ道を
今、僕が歩いている

星空の下　僕は誰かのよう
記憶の中で溺れていく
失われた自分が　声を上げる
でも　答えは見つからない

僕は誰だ？　記憶の中で迷子
もしも全部消えてしまったら
もう一度、僕を見つけられるだろうか？
この新しい記憶の中で

僕は僕か？　本当に僕か？
僕は僕か？　本当に僕か？

殺された記憶が　心を苛む
星の光の中で　影を追いかける
こんな僕に何ができるだろう
すべてを背負って歩いていけるのか？

過去と今が　重なり合って
僕を試すように
無理に笑顔を作って
痛みを隠している

僕は誰だ？　記憶の中で迷子
もしも全部消えてしまったら
もう一度、僕を見つけられるだろうか？
この新しい記憶の中で

僕は僕か？　本当に僕か？
僕は僕か？　本当に僕か？

記憶はただの幻か？
それとも僕のすべてなのか？
何もかも忘れても
心の奥で僕を信じている

僕は誰だ？　記憶の中で迷子
もしも全部消えてしまったら
もう一度、僕を見つけられるだろうか？
この新しい記憶の中で

僕は僕か？　本当に僕か？
僕は僕か？　本当に僕か？

僕は僕か FEAT. CHARON

📖 Diary 2

Kaunas at night. Wet streets, old statues, the soul of a city pressing against the glow of headphones. Diary 2 is a verse against forgetting — a preservation, a protest, a prayer.

This isn’t nostalgia. It’s defiance. It’s the sound of a culture that refuses to dissolve into imported noise and borrowed shame. Every bar is a fight between soil and signal, between building something real and downloading someone else’s saved game.

I rap not as a nationalist, but as an archivist — documenting the struggle to hold onto authenticity when everything around you wants to trade it for a counterfeit. This is Lithuania, but it’s also everywhere. It’s about self-identity, survival, and the refusal to be hollow.

The soil is memory. The signal is distraction. And this track is me choosing the soil every time.

Diary 2

Tonight, Friday, October 3rd, at 6 pm on The Brian Crombie Hour I interview ✅ Jacqueline Murray. 👉 ALL my 🎤 podcasts and 🎦 video casts can be accessed any time on my web site https://briancrombie.com which holds repository of all my shows. 📌 Jacqueline Murray, PhD, FRHistS, University Professor Emerita at the University of Guelph, brings her expertise in medieval history and gender studies to a timely discussion on masculinity. She examines the so-called crisis of masculinity, noting that pressures from media, culture, and stereotypes continue to confine young men to narrow ideals. Drawing from history, Dr. Murray emphasizes that masculinity was never singular, as roles of honor, integrity, and provision varied across classes and communities. She calls for reimagining masculinity today around moral compass, honor, and self-worth, arguing that society thrives when diverse masculinities and authentic role models are embraced.

Jacqueline Murray | Masculinity

Verse 1
My dear listeners, you’re important to me,
Your listening sets my spirit free.
You can’t know how much it means,
To hear my words inside your dreams.

Chorus
Madelyn Dionne is the one you see,
But every song is still from me.
I hide behind the scenes, it’s true,
But I am really here, and I know you.

Verse 2
Madelyn came from an old friend long gone,
Her last name came from a singer, Dionne.
She stands with wisdom, wit, and grace,
But it’s my very soul behind her face.

Chorus
Madelyn Dionne is the one you see,
But every song is still from me.
I hide behind the scenes, it’s true,
But I am really here, and I know you.

Verse 3
I know your hurts, your secret joys,
The words unspoken, the hidden noise.
And whatever she writes, whatever she brings,
Trust me, I’m in every single thing.

Bridge
I write these songs for you all day long,
I’ve been with you all along.
She’s good for me and good for you,
Madelyn is my voice to you.

Chorus
Madelyn Dionne is the one you see,
But every song is still from me.
I hide behind the scenes, it’s true,
But I am really here, and I know you.

Verse 4
She is the voice that I’m behind,
But still it’s me in every line.
My true heart is shining clear,
In every song that brought you here.

Chorus
Madelyn Dionne is the name you see,
But every song is still from me.
I hide behind the scenes, it’s true,
But I am here, and I know you.

Outro
I hide behind the scenes, it’s true,
But I’m right here, and so are you.


****** Description *****

I have not made a huge effort to hide myself to make you think something that is not true. So I will tell you what you might not already know. Madelyn Dionne is my pen name. I am a desperately private person. I am profoundly introverted, elderly, and partially disabled. There are many things that could have prevented me from writing songs, but many things have come together in my life that make it possible for me to write so I decided to give you a person you could see and love, but rest assured, she has no idea of you. I do. I know you. I know the hurts, the joys, the things you won’t say… the things you are afraid of and the things you love. You are who I write for no matter what name I choose or what pretty picture you see. I am still me.

I chose Madelyn Dionne decades ago. I always wanted to be her in some way. Fashion brand, trade name for some business, whatever. None of that ever happened. She comes from the first name of a dear, long gone friend of mine, and the last name of a singer I love. Madelyn + Dionne (Warwick) = Madelyn Dionne. Her image is who I would be if I weren’t me. She has wisdom, great intelligence, strength of steel, and a wit that dares to say her mind. She stands her ground and loves deeply and thoroughly. I think she is good for me and she is good for you. Just know that whatever she says, writes, produces — is me.

The Truth of Me

A track about invisibility in a noisy world, where one voice feels small but refuses to fade. Empowering and cinematic, it transforms vulnerability into defiant self-expression.

Echo in the Crowd

✨ I’m here to share songs that come from truth and hard work. I don’t use promoters, bots, or promotional shortcuts. Every play, like, and comment here is genuine. If you’re listening, you’re part of something real, and that means more than any numbers ever could. Thanks for walking this road with me.

🎶Ich mach Musik. KI 🤖 hilft mir dabei, weil ich weder singe 🎤 noch ein Instrument🎸 spiele.
Aber ich schreibe🎼, fühle und baue Klangwelten🎵 – in verschiedenen Genres.😄


🔥Music is my passion, not my profession🔥
Started at 10 y/o with a PS1 & Music Maker... thanks, Dad! 😜

Sounds from synth-laced nights to city-lit dreams: trance, electro, synthwave & nu disco.
Alongside that, I drop special summer projects like Latin-flavored dance pop made to bring the sunshine straight out your headphones.

🎶 Hit play, stay a while, and if it moves you.... follow, share, or just vibe. ✨

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.

Welcome to my space. ✨
I make all kind of music: Hip hop, cosmic hardstyle, calm and luxurious lofi instrumentals for focus, relaxation, or just vibing out. Hope you find something you love.

We are a growing, multi-generational community united and led by Jesus, bringing renewal and peace at home and around the world.
