This is an incredibly raw and intimate alternate version of "Ijinkan Aku." Stripped back to its core, the track relies primarily on the simple, sincere acoustic guitar and the emotional weight of the male vocal performance. This version highlights the vulnerability and hopeful plea in the lyrics, making the request for a chance at love feel even more personal and immediate. It's a raw, pure take on the theme of asking for forgiveness or an opportunity.

Ijinkan Aku (Indonesian) - Alternate Version

An intimate piano and vocal cover of Afterglow by Ed Sheeran. I recorded this live in one take; just wanting to sit with the honesty and simplicity of the song. I really like this song; it came out just before Christmas in the Covid years, during a poignant time for me when things were difficult with my parents; so it has become a song about perseverance and holding on through hard times.

This version stays close to the original chords and melody; but it is a little slower and more spacious; with soft dynamics and a few natural pauses so the lyrics can breathe. It sits in a male vocal register and keeps that late night; reflective; slightly wintery feel all the way through.

Recorded in London as part of the Rita Road Sessions; a series of live one take performances on a baby grand.

Little Buns at Candlelight

You were sugar on my lips
In the break of the dawn
Little spark in the dark
Pulling me along
Every colour in your touch
Used to light me up
Now it’s fading like the night
When the sun comes up

And the glow feels right
Till the light breaks through
I can feel it shift
When I look at you

And the first light hits us…

Sweet love… fading out
Right on the tip of my tongue
Like a dream… waking up
When the daylight comes on
Cherry-rush in my blood
Fading soft in the sun
Sweet love… fading out
Losing the taste…
of us

You were colour in the breeze
Through a summer heat
Every heartbeat bright
Moving under my feet
Now the sweetness that we held
Only flickers through
Little echoes of a rush
I once saw in you

And the glow feels right
Till the light breaks through
I can feel it fade
When I lean on you

As the first light hits us…

Sweet love… fading out
Right on the tip of my tongue
Like a dream… waking up
When the daylight comes on
Cherry-rush in my blood
Fading soft in the sun
Sweet love… fading out
Losing the taste…
of us

Maybe sweetness melts
When the day comes through
Maybe love turns real
When I see the truth
But I keep your glow
In the softest dust
Every spark we were
In the taste of us

Sweet love… fading out
Right on the tip of my tongue
Like a dream… waking up
When the daylight comes on
Cherry-rush in my blood
Fading soft in the sun
Sweet love… fading out
Losing the taste…
of us

Sweet love… fading out
Losing the taste of us

How Long Is Forever” is a love letter captured in music  a confession born from the moments that nearly broke me and the woman who helped me find my way back. This song is about loving someone through storms, distance, mistakes, and silence… and still choosing them every single time. It’s about the kind of love that becomes your anchor, your echo, your home, even when your heart feels empty. This is my truth, my promise, and the part of me that will always belong to her.

How Long Is Forever
[Verse 1]
I need you more than you’ll ever know...
Through every storm, through every low...
You taught me love when I’d lost faith...
You showed me light in my darkest place...

I’ve made mistakes, I’ve lost my way...
But your love always helps me stay...
Even when we fall apart...
You’re the echo inside my heart...

[Chorus]
How long will I love you...
As long as the stars still shine above you...
As long as the rivers find the sea...
You’ll be the better part of me...

How long will I need you...
Baby, I could never measure...
‘Cause when you ask me how long I’ll stay...
I’ll say... how long is forever...

[Verse 2]
You’ve seen my soul, the good and the pain...
You loved me through the pouring rain...
When I was lost, you brought me home...
You taught me I was never alone...

Even if the world should fade...
I’d still remember the love we made...
In every heartbeat, every prayer...
You’re the answer always there...

[Chorus]
How long will I love you...
As long as the stars still shine above you...
As long as the rivers find the sea...
You’ll be the better part of me...

How long will I need you...
Baby, I could never measure...
‘Cause when you ask me how long I’ll stay...
I’ll say... how long is forever...

[Outro]
How long is forever...

Forever...
For... ever...
Forever...

For... ever... my love...
Forever...
Forever...

Forever... my love... forever...

How Long Is Forever

Before Your Name is a slow, lyric-driven folk / alt-country ballad about late-diagnosed autism - finally finding a name for why you always felt like “a shadow in a crowded room.”

It’s built around close acoustic guitar and an intimate baritone vocal, more confessional poem than radio single: years of feeling half-present, the ache of every night “halfway through,” then the slow work of learning to sit with what’s true and let each night run fully through.

[LYRICS]

I was a shadow in a crowded room
A face among my closest few
Before your name, I never knew
Why every night felt halfway through

If only dawn would heed my calling
As I beg the sun to sleep
So every thought, awake or dreaming
Is left to brew, then slowly steep

Oh, sweet unhurried heart of mine
Do learn the dark and choose to shine

So go on now… just choose to shine

I am no shadow in a crowded room
Not just a face among a few
I learned to sit with what was true
And let each night run fully through

Oh, sweet unhurried heart of mine
Oh, sweet unhurried heart of mine

I’ve always lived at the crossroads of music and poetry — where feeling becomes form, and melody turns memory into meaning. Whether it’s a lingering jazz note, a well-placed rhyme, or a shift in tempo that tells a deeper story, I’m drawn to that quiet magic where art reflects life with a little more style.

My roots are in classic music — the kind that doesn’t chase the moment but lingers with you long after the last note. Over time, that love expanded into poetry writing and jazz — especially the kind that swings, speaks, and smirks all at once. Jazz, to me, isn’t just a genre; it’s a personality. A conversation. A little tilt of the head and a grin that knows more than it says.

When I set out to create an album, it’s rarely just a collection of songs. I approach it like a personal playlist — one that drifts and flows as if the entire tracklist were one long, uninterrupted piece. Each track leans into the next, shifting mood, pace, or voice, but always carrying the same thread of feeling. I want you to listen the way I do — not as a shuffle of moments, but as a cinematic arc. One breath that lasts an hour.

Lyrically, my work is rooted in lived experience. Sometimes it’s obvious. Other times it’s just the skeleton of a memory, dressed up in wit, irony, or longing. I draw from real-life events, then let the poet in me twist, stretch, or sweeten them to taste. Depending on the tone of the album — playful, romantic, nostalgic, or something in between — I try to keep the emotional truth intact while giving it a fresh coat of creativity. A little humor where it fits. A deeper dive where it hurts.

My newest jazz album continues this tradition — short-lined swing tracks, conversational duets, and tongue-in-cheek storytelling. It’s an homage to late-night alleyway ballads, rooftop serenades, and train station goodbyes — all bound together with a sense of charm and cohesion. Each song is its own little scene, but together they tell a story — one you can revisit with each replay.

Thanks for stopping by my profile. I hope you find something that earns a spot on your repeat-play list — a melody, a lyric, or a moment that feels like it was written just for you.

olliray makes emotive, cinematic music that sits between intimate piano ballads and modern electronic soundscapes. A singer songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from London, he blends live piano and guitar with textured production to create songs that feel close and expansive at the same time.

Alongside his original work, he records stripped-back piano and guitar covers of songs he loves. These late-night performances sit naturally beside his own writing, shaped by the same focus on atmosphere, storytelling and emotional detail.

He had a short spell of violin lessons when he was younger; everything else on piano, guitar and production is self-taught. That instinctive path runs through his music; he writes, plays and shapes his songs by ear, chasing what feels honest rather than what follows the rulebook.

His debut single BoxRox and first album Stuck in Traffic captured a raw, lyric-driven phase where he produced and sang everything himself. Between followed, pushing further into experimental electronic textures. He then released Piano for Yoga, a live, meditative piano recording created in a single continuous flow for a yoga video soundtrack.

In 2024 he returned to his roots with Lost Romance, an album built from songs written 18 years earlier and revisited with a more reflective, nostalgic perspective. It moves between gentle piano pieces and fuller arrangements, tying his early ideas to the sound he has grown into now.

He is currently working on new music that continues to blur the lines between acoustic songwriting and electronic production, always searching for the balance between warmth, space and emotional weight.

For a first listen, start with Stuck in Traffic or How Long if you want reflective, cinematic songwriting, then explore the Covers Playlist to hear his take on songs by artists he loves. Fans of Bon Iver, Ben Howard, Nick Mulvey, Coldplay and M83 may feel at home in his world.
