When the world gets loud again...
    When time feels heavy, and silence is rare —
      Come back here.
        Close your eyes.

    And remember:
    We weren’t just voices in the dark.

    We were the story.

And if this is the last page...
Know it was written with everything I had.

Goodbye

– Vedran

Vedran - We Were the Story

🎵 Tick… Tack…
Indie Folk / Acoustic Singer-Songwriter

This isn’t a song about time.
It’s a song about hearing it — in the middle of joy, in the shadow of light, in every moment that feels too good to last.

Tick… Tack… is for the quiet worriers, the ones who feel endings before beginnings even settle. It’s a stripped-down letter to the future — to the people we hope will laugh louder, live freer, and maybe never hear the ticking clock we couldn’t ignore.

Fingerpicked guitar. Bare vocals. Space to breathe.
There’s no resolution here — just a humble offering:
a lifetime traded for a better shot at theirs.

🎙️ For anyone who’s ever smiled with a weight in their chest.
🎧 For those who work, save, and try — not for themselves, but for the ones they’ll leave behind.

Maybe they’ll never hear the tick… tack.

Lyrics: 

The sea was blue, the sky was gold
But I felt time growing cold
Even in joy, I heard the end
A quiet echo time will send

We chase the sun, we raise a glass
But I just watch the moments pass
The brighter the smile, the deeper the fear
That loss is always standing near

Tick… tack… tick… tack…
Even the good things never come back

So I work, I save, I build, I try
Stack the days 'til my goodbye
No postcards, no weekend lights
Just money left in case they get it right
Maybe they'll laugh where I held back
Maybe they won’t hear the tick… tack…

I don’t know if I’m wired wrong
But joy has never stayed too long
It whispers soft, then fades away
So I push it down, another day

Tick… tack… tick… tack…
Love on a leash, time on a track

So I work, I save, I build, I try
Stack the days 'til my goodbye
No sunset walks, no soft July
Just one last gift when I close my eyes
Maybe they’ll dance where I went slack
Maybe they won’t hear the tick… tack…

And when I’m gone, they’ll open a drawer
Find the silence I was working for
Not songs, not fame, not notes I wrote
Just a wish — spend it well, with hope

So I work, I save, I build, I try
Maybe they’ll soar — maybe they’ll cry
But if they live without holding back...
Maybe they’ll never hear the tick… tack…

Tick... Tack...

“The Sounds of Life” is a cinematic orchestral ballad that captures the full journey of the human experience — from a baby's first breath to a legacy that echoes beyond the final note. Blending gentle 6/8 rhythms, lush string arrangements, and sweeping choir vocals, the song moves through four emotional movements: birth, love, change, and reflection. Anchored by poetic lyricism and musical symbolism, it celebrates the sounds that shape us, break us, and carry us forward.

As a lifelong lover of Disney films and their unforgettable music, this piece is my heartfelt tribute to the stories that shaped me. My dream is to one day write music for Disney, but they don’t accept musical submissions — so I’m putting my work out there and hoping to be discovered. This is more than a song. It’s a calling.

Lyrics:

Yellow and Red (Gold & Red)
By: Russell Nomer July 24, 2025  

Sunrise on a Thursday, Plainview feels too quiet 
Scrollin' through the headlines, trying to deny it 
Takes me back to childhood, a fuzzy TV screen 
A larger-than-life power, a brand new kind of scene 
With a tearin' of the T-shirt and a cupping of the ear 
You showed the world a strength that could conquer any fear 
You were more than just a wrestler, you were a lightning strike 
In yellow and in red, on my rusty ten-speed bike.

And oh, "Whatcha gonna do?" now that you're gone? 
When the prayers and vitamins can't help us carry on? 
You were a real American, a hero to the end 
The world got a little darker today, my brother, my friend. 
Hulkamania's runnin' quiet, a flag is at half-mast 
A legacy in gold and red, that was built to last.

We all tied on our bandanas, we all did the flexing pose 
From Madison Square Garden, to wherever the story goes 
Your theme song lit the rafters, gave our hearts a song 
Your fire taught me courage when the nights felt long.

And oh, "Whatcha gonna do?" now that you're gone? 
When the prayers and vitamins still help us carry on? 
You were a real American, a spark that never bends 
The world lost a true legend today, my brother, my friend. 
Hulkamania's runnin' quiet, a flag is at half-mast 
A legacy in gold and red, that was built to last.

The roar of the arena, it slowly fades away 
The script is put aside now at the closing of the day 
The body pays the cost for the giant that it holds 
And the story of the man is the greatest one that's told 
So Terry takes a final bow, when the curtain has to fall 
Behind the 'stache, you stood up straight and gave us all your all.

And oh, "Whatcha gonna do?" now that you're gone?! 
Our prayers and vitamins WILL help us carry on! 

 'Cause you were a real American, a hero to the end! 
And we'll never ever forget you, my brother, my friend! 
Hulkamania's runnin' forever, it'll never be the past! 
Your legacy in gold and red was BUILT TO LAST!

"Whatcha gonna do, brother..."

Father, of some great Children, Grandfather of some great Grandchildren (see what I did there) I meant exceptional. I make music for the love of music. A technician by trade, and artist by passion and musician for fun

DJ Oracle | Multi-Genre Music Producer, Songwriter & Festival DJ

If you hear it, I wrote it

My Focus:
Industry says: “Focus on one genre to build a fanbase.”
I say: “I’ll master them all.”

My writing isn't meant to be confined to one playlist category. Every moment is a mood, every lyric is a poem, and every song tells a story. I refuse to limit myself. Writing music across genres isn’t just a skill—it’s my passion. I have no desire to change who I am to meet industry expectations.

Genre = Mood
Lyrics = Poems
Music = Story

Where Am I Today?
I can write in any genre, any language, and on any topic. I have access to any instrument and can create with any vocal style—male or female. But at my core, I am a writer, not an entertainer.
I feel timid stepping in front of a microphone—exposing myself vocally is still a challenge. There are skills to master and fears to overcome before I record my own voice or perform live. But I am comfortable behind the DJ decks.

Where Am I Going?
As I navigate my place in the music industry, my goal is to split my music into three primary genres and sign with labels that align with each sound:

EDM – #SpinninRecords, #Monstercat, #UltraRecords
South Florida Country Pop – #BigMachineRecords, #CurbRecords
Everything Else – TBD

Next Steps for Me:
✔ Write daily and publish new music weekly
✔ Finish EDM albums: #IWantToDestroyYou and #AlicesSonicJourney
✔ Intern with an established DJ – @PhilHarrisMusic
✔ Start publishing behind-the-scenes content
✔ License a song or album to a record label or collaborate with an artist to expose my music and make money

I know social media is necessary, but it’s far outside my comfort zone. Sharing the creative process, the "sauce" behind the songs, feels vulnerable. But I also know that if I want my music to be heard, I need to open that door—even if it’s uncomfortable.

This is my journey. Let’s see where it leads.
