Changing Shapes

A song for the moments when you can't get out of bed.

Back To Reality

Stadium rock sized ballad, written and recorded inn 2025, digitally released 17.10.2025.
When your head is in the clouds
Your feet on shifting sands
Your long cherished dreams
Lie in pieces in your hands
And you can't find the flow
To where you want to be
I want you to know
That you can feed on me
I will be there
I'll be your friend
I'll heal your hurt
Make do and mend
Your broken heart
Your weary soul
Don't fall apart
I'll make you whole
When ambition turns to rust
Hope and heart corrode
A handful of dust
Becomes a heavy load
When your exit strategy
Takes you to a dead-end street
You can feed on me
I'll make you complete
Your open wounds
I'll stitch and seal
Your childhood dreams
I will fulfil
This veil of tears
This reverie
Will disappear
You can feed on me
Crushed by the weight of your own mythology
Trying to find a state of mind to set your body free
I will be there
Through to the end
I'll heal your hurt
Make do and mend
Your aching heart
Your breaking soul
Don't fall apart
I will make you whole

love this track ever since I got to see them playing it live, felt fit for a 4x4 deep repackaging.

“Rewind” is a haunting indie-alt ballad about grief, nostalgia, and the desperate wish to turn back time. With cinematic guitars, lo-fi drums, and ethereal harmonies, Rewind captures the moment you realise it’s too late. 

Built around the lyric “I finally understand I’ve been borrowing grief from the future,” the song blends raw emotion with ambient textures creating a sound that feels both intimate and anthemic.

Perfect for anyone going through a break-up or who’s ever looked back and whispered, “If I could just have one more moment…”

Rewind

Hitman

Sometimes I still hear your voice 
And my head starts to pound again
You came to me in a dream, babe 
But you still won’t let me in 
But if I sit and wait so quietly
Maybe I could change your mind 
And make you come back again
And stop wasting all my precious time 

I wish I knew some prettier words 
Could come up with better things to say 
I wish I believed you when you said 
Everything that you said yesterday
It all just sounds like noise to me now 
It all just fills up my fucking head
But I wish I could still hear you now 
Maybe I’m just better off dead 
I'll get it through my head
Maybe I’m just better off dead 

I could sing to you in a stupid voice 
If it’ll just make you smile for me again
Say things that don’t quite make sense 
If it meant that you’d just let me in 
But instead I’ll burn all your letters 
To silence all of these painful sounds 
But every memory still hits me pretty hard 
And I end up six feet underground 
And now I’m just talking to myself 
Hoping you’d say that you’d say something back 
But I already know 
You ain’t saying it back
You ain’t saying it back
You ain’t saying it back

Happy listening!

I started writing songs in the moments I couldn’t explain, when thoughts tangled, when everything shifted, when silence said too much.

Now, I bring those lyrics to life with AI, blending human emotion with machine-made sound to create something new: part real, part unreal but always honest.

From indie folk and alternative rock to house and cinematic soundscapes, my music lives where genres blur and transformation begins.
It’s for anyone who’s ever felt in-between. Who’s let go, started over, or stood at the edge of something uncertain.

This is music for when words weren’t enough and sound had to take over.

Hailing from the sunshine state of Florida and now based in the eclectic scene of Seattle, DeShawn Rivers is a songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and artist. Evolving swiftly, Rivers first delved into electronic music production, crafting instrumentals that laid the foundation for his diverse sonic palette. A true musical chameleon, Rivers blends intricate instrumentals with introspective lyrics, creating a sound that is uniquely his, redefining artistic boundaries with each release.
