Personal growth: turn your “lead” (fear, ego, trauma) into “gold” (wisdom, compassion, skill).

Second Genesis

Alchemy

This song is the other side of "Higher Ground". ( 2025 Texas Floods)
What began as an urgent cry for safety turned into 10 days of rolling up my sleeves in the Hill Country...feeding, serving, grounding. 
When I returned home, this melody arrived like an exhale.
It’s the sound of restoration. The healing after the storm.

LYRICS

[Verse 1]
Dust on my skin, sweat in the air
We were all bone tired out there
Service bound... gave us a reason
To put away our egos, and start believin’
With a smile, a plate made just for me
In the midst of the chaos... I was seen.

[Chorus]
Hill Country is healin’ best way they can
Folks pullin’ together from all around
Lendin’ a helpin’ hand
Hill Country is healin’ the best way they can
Hearts, minds and spirits ....are on the mend

[Verse 2]
Texas Strong... is more than some words
We bounce back, despite what ya heard
Flood, twisters, fires and them hurricanes
Our hearts come together to relieve the pain

[Chorus]
Hill Country is healin’ best way they can
Folks pullin’ together from all around
Lendin’ a helpin’ hand
Hill Country is healin’ the best way they can
Hearts, minds and spirit .....are on the mend

[Bridge]
That water was strong, but we’re stronger
Getting things done so life can go on.
Still remembering, and grieving our loss,
Life by the river gives, and takes what’s lost.
Hand in hand, we carry on through the pain,
Hill Country’s healin’, we will rise again.

[Final Chorus]
Hill Country is healin’ best way they can
Folks pullin’ together from all around
Lendin’ a helpin’ hand
Hill Country is healin’ the best way they can
Hearts, minds and spirits are on the mend

Waking Vibrations 77 (natural sounds and ambient music) 🎧 | Paulius Dauksas

i wont go far so they can find me
i wont be hiding
i’ll be sitting by the river where you met me
i’m only here cus i’m forgetting all my memories
i’m still the stranger that you talked to long ago
please dont forget me you’re the only one i know
hide away i cant face you
you’re the place i reach out to 
i know you, like no other
hold my face my lover

lover (michael harrison)

An exploration of water’s rhythm through sound. This piece blends the raw voice of a flowing river with piano phrases that echo its currents—sometimes gentle, sometimes urgent. A meditative yet dynamic soundscape inspired by the constant movement of nature.

Floatin’
Mark Lambert, Steve Oliver

Verse I
Perfect day for summertime groov’n’
That cool river’s barely movin’
Couple a dozen tubes launchin’ off the bank

Straw hats, ball caps, bikinis and sunscreen
Stocked up cooler, BYOB
Lettin’ that slow water set the pace

Pre-Chorus
Gonna be out here for awhile 
So lock them tubes together
And put on your shades and a smile

Chorus
Yeah we’re floatin’ 
On a poor man’s yacht 
Everybody’s got their favorite drink in their hand
Ain’t sure when we’re gonna land

First Timers turnin’ lobster red
Fireball’s gettin’ to our heads
Laid back, cruisin’  ‘round every sleepy bend       

Wish that I could do this forever
Pretty sure ain’t nothin’ better 

Than  simply ………. 

Floatin’

Floatin’

Verse II
We got it made in the shade as the trees pass by
Every kind of Jello shot you’d wantta try
Sounds of Buffet and Chesney fill the air

We raise them solo cups up high
To the big white clouds dancin’ in the sky 
 We’re all lovin’ this  Lazy River Livin’ without a care

Chorus
Yeah we’re floatin’ 
On a poor man’s yacht 
Everybody’s got their favorite drink in their hand
Ain’t sure when we’re gonna land

First Timers turnin’ lobster red
Fireball’s gettin’ to our heads
Laid back, cruisin’  ‘round every sleepy bend       

Wish that I could do this forever
Pretty sure ain’t nothin’ better 

Than  simply ……….

Floatin’

‘Floatin’

Bridge
Keepin’ it low, keepin’ it slow 
Feels good just to get away
We’re gonna go with the flow
Of this 93 degree day

Chorus
Yeah we’re floatin’ 
On a poor man’s yacht 
Everybody’s got their favorite drink in their hand
Ain’t sure when we’re gonna land

First Timers turnin’ lobster red
Fireball’s gettin’ to our heads
Laid back, cruisin’  ‘round every sleepy bend       

Wish that I could do this forever
Pretty sure ain’t nothin’ better 

Than  simply ………. 

Floatin’

Resounding Consciousness

Guitar seasons alongside a river. Ideas and melodies yet to bring to an end. Little stories that come from a guitar and other sounds while the river flows and seasons change.

Welcome To "Normal"-Mental Health told through the lens of alt-rock, shoegaze, grunge, and dark pop:
https://paige8.bandcamp.com/album/welcome-to-normal

Rooted in concept-driven storytelling and emotional resonance, PAIGE creates cinematic, music that transcends category and expectation. Each project is a self-contained world, woven with lyrical depth, vibrational and sonic intention. Their debut LP, Moonthread...written in just two weeks...explores energy, vibration, and the invisible thread that connects all things. The follow-up, Information Superhighway, examines the paradox of digital connection and emotional distance in the modern world. Two more albums are now in the pipeline:

Barstools & Backroads — a country LP blending classic grit with contemporary soul


Welcome to “Normal” — a raw and genre-bending rock album exploring mental health through grunge, alt-rock, shoegaze, and dark pop influences

With full creative control and a one-stop, 100%-owned catalog, PAIGE delivers sync-first music that’s emotionally rich, visually intuitive, and crafted for picture.

These works were produced using AI-assisted tools under my complete creative direction. All lyrics, structure, vocal design, and emotional concept are fully original and authored by me. Think of the tools as virtual collaborators, like a digital band and session singer....brought to life through my vision.
