A WALK IN SEPTEMBER

Imagine if a French House banger got kidnapped by an indie band in jangly guitars and baritone melancholy. That’s this track: a cover where disco lasers became chiming strings, and the sweaty club was replaced by an awkward kitchen sink romance.

The lyrics are basically one long diary entry of a guy who panics when someone touches his knee, accidentally flirts like a Cold War spy, and rehearses love declarations in the bathroom mirror. It’s post-punk angst meets jangle-pop crush syndrome, with the emotional maturity of someone who frames ironic flowers because they don’t know what else to do.

Think: baritone vocals that sound like Joy Division’s Ian Curtis reading your group chat, guitars that sparkle like the last light in your ex’s window, and rhythms that dance like they’re too shy to actually dance.

So yeah—French House went to therapy, bought a second-hand leather jacket, and started humming about Netflix, cheese, and accidental stair routines. The result? This track.

Press play if you’ve ever:

Laughed too loud at a bad joke just to touch someone’s sleeve

Split the bill but not the feelings

Texted a heart emoji while pretending it was “just friendly”

Until you meet… see us again… and again… and again.

Lyrics:

Until we meet
See us again
I'll rehearse my love in the mirror again
You'll laugh too loud at one of my jokes then hug me like a nun in a trench coat cloak
Maybe next time one of us speaks — or maybe we just invite that two will be
See us again
I'll keep loving you like a very old

We split the bill like we split the truth
Flirt like spies in a kissing booth
You call me pal with your head askew
I choke on words and pretend it's dew
You touched my knee, oh was that fate
You laughed, I panicked, said great plate
Every look's a near confession wrapped in frieze and soft repression

Until we meet
See us again
Maybe your hand will hold mine then
Or maybe I'll choke and spill my drink then sink like love on a kitchen sink
If not same dance, same old refrain, you and your hoodie meet on sham
Till we meet
See us again
I'll love you quietly like it's not insane

We do the accidental stair routine
Then talk about cheese or a Netflix scene
Your playlist screams I want more than tea
But you say we're chill and giggle at me
I bring you flowers as a joke
You framed them up, no one spoke
Friends who text with heart emojis like passion's just one of our hobbies

Until we meet
See us again
I'll iron my soul and spray some zen
You'll smile like love's not in disguise and I'll nod like I'm not hypnotized
Maybe next time lips will move or maybe we'll just vibe
Until we meet
See us again
I'll miss your almost love

Amen

Until We See Us Again (Indie Rock Version)

Ever had that moment when your phone lights up with the name — the one that still makes your stomach do a confused gymnastics routine — but instead of running off for a secret rendezvous, you’re stuck sipping lukewarm tea at a touristy hotel while your kid dreams of knights and castles? Yeah, this song is exactly that.

It’s indie rock tangled with jangle pop nerves and post-punk excuses: guitars that sparkle like sunlight on a too-white hotel balcony, a bassline that sounds like pacing in flip-flops, and drums that slam shut like a text bubble turning gray.

“Not today, babe” becomes the world’s most melodramatic out-of-office reply — part soap opera, part self-care, part “my WiFi signal is terrible and so is my judgment.” It’s the sound of almost saying yes, but instead writing “maybe next time” while hiding under the covers.

So if you’ve ever dodged an old flame with excuses ranging from mild illness to spiritual unavailability — congratulations, this track is your new national anthem.

Play it loud, dodge responsibly, and remember: not today, babe.

Lyrics: 

Sunny place, old hotel
My boy’s asleep, I’m doing well
A ping, a name I used to know
“You’re nearby?” …whoa-oh-oh

You say, "Let's meet?" — I sip my tea
Look at the sky, not the screen
Got a kid, a mood, a messy head
So I type these words instead

Not today, babe — I’m feelin’ kinda sick
Catchin’ something — must be quick
Leavin’ early — need my bed
(Yeah, I said what I said)

Not today, babe — I’d love to but no
Maybe next time — maybe so
It’s just not right, not tonight
(I’m alright… but not that alright) 

You were fire, I was rain
Now we’re just a weekend train
Could’ve met you near the gate
But I guess I hesitate

My boy dreams of castle kings
While I’m dodging old flame flings
Your name glows, my heart skips
But I send a text with careful lips

Not today, babe — I’m feelin’ kinda weird
Too much sun or too much fear
Leavin’ early — got my ride
(And a little pride to hide)

Not today, babe — oh, timing’s tight
What we had was outta sight
But I’m not that girl, not this week
(Though I miss the way you speak) 

Could’ve been wine and maybe more
But I locked that window, closed that door
Send a kiss through pixel haze
Then I dance the doubt away…

Not today, babe — the signal’s weak
I lost my voice, I cannot speak
Leavin’ early, feelin’ pale
(But you still read every tale)

Not today, babe — you kinda knew
I was tempted, I was too
But the mom in me just smiled
And the girl in me… went wild

Not Today, Babe (Indie Rock Version)

Mind Puzzles

A guitar line that sounds like a goodbye you didn’t want to say.
A bass that walks in circles like a mind replaying old mistakes.
And drums that hit the way the truth finally does.

This track is what happens when indie rock grows a backbone, when jangle-pop stops pretending everything’s fine, and when post-punk steps out of the shadows with a cracked heart and a clear voice.

It’s a song about finally letting go of someone who never really held you — someone who loved the attention, the reassurance, the safety net… but never you.
The kind of “love” that only exists when they’re bored, lonely, or between adventures.
The kind of dynamic where you keep showing up… and they keep disappearing.

Here, the guitars shimmer like the last light on a bad day.
The vocals feel like someone trying to speak softly while their chest is ripping open.
And the whole song carries that bittersweet freedom — the moment you realise that walking away hurts, but staying would’ve broken you completely.

It’s for anyone who answered the late-night calls.
For anyone who waited in the shadows with a name stuck in their throat.
For anyone who finally said:
“No more. Not like this. Not again.”

This isn’t a breakup anthem — it’s an emancipation.
A slow, steady reclaiming of dignity, breath, quiet, and self-respect.

If you’ve ever loved too hard, forgiven too easily, or held on too long…
yeah.
This one is for you.

Lyrics:

Whenever you want to be alone,
I won’t come bringing love to you.
You don’t have to call my name now —
I’m finally letting go of you.

Whenever you want to be alone,
I won’t come bringing love to you.
If you need space, I won’t chase —
I’m learning what I shouldn’t do.

You stood me up, messed around, and treated me unkind,
Left me waiting in the shadows with your name on my mind.
But this time 'round, I’m changing all the rules,
No more playing loyal while you take me for a fool.

It’s much too late for you to shift your ways,
I won’t keep holding on, expecting you to stay.
When you’re all alone and sinking in the blue —
Don’t count on me to come running back to you.

I learned the hard way what your freedom meant,
You only came around when your lonely heart bent.
Now I’m stepping back from all the pain you do —
I’m not your safety net, I’m not your rescue.

Whenever you want to be alone,
I won’t come bringing love to you.
You don’t have to call my name now —
I’m finally letting go of you.

Whenever you want to be alone,
I won’t come bringing love to you.
If you need space, I won’t chase —
I’m learning what I shouldn’t do.

Time after time you said you “need to be free,”
And I pretended it was fine, though it tore into me.
And while you wandered off to chase your fun,
I kept waiting for a day that never really came, not one.

You’ll never know how deep the hurt could feel,
How long I waited for a love that wasn’t real.
And when you’re all alone and feeling down —
I won’t be the one who’s always hanging 'round.

No more late-night calls I always answered,
No more hoping you'd return a little faster.
You made your choice — now I’m making mine,
I’m walking out of your halfway love this time.

Whenever you want to be alone,
I won’t come bringing love to you.
You don’t have to call my name now —
I’m finally letting go of you.

Whenever you want to be alone,
I won’t come bringing love to you.
If you need space, I won’t chase —
I’m learning what I shouldn’t do.

I won’t bring my love to you (no),
I won’t bring my love to you.
You can keep your freedom, baby —
I’m finally choosing mine too.

🎸 Welcome to my musical journey! 🎶

Hey there, music enthusiasts! I'm Oz a hobbyist musician who's been strumming the strings of my guitar since my teenage years. Music has always been my passion, weaving its melodies through every chapter of my life.

For me, music is more than just sound – it's a language of emotions, a canvas where I paint my feelings and experiences. The power of music to evoke and express emotions never ceases to amaze me. Being part of this vibrant community here on SoundCloud fuels my creative drive and pushes me to explore new sonic landscapes.
