Inside the Circle Mix (Selected for Feedback by Klaps) | 07-11-2025

Prince Acki defeats the tech overlords

“I’ll Keep You Safe” is a song about being someone’s calm when everything else gets too loud.
It leans into that quiet kind of devotion, the kind you feel more than you ever say. Warm acoustic folk-rock, soft brushes, open jazz-coloured chords and a close, steady baritone carry the whole track, keeping everything intimate and human.

This one is for the nights when life gets heavy, when your head is noisy and you just need someone who won’t move. It’s about staying close through storms, being the soft voice that brings someone home, and holding on when the dark starts pressing in.

If you’re into indie folk that feels safe, warm and quietly emotional, I hope this one sits with you in the right way. 

Thanks for listening.

Lyrics:

The storm's outside, but I stay near,
my voice the only sound you hear.

If I stay quiet, the truth might fade,
and once it’s gone, it can’t be remade.
I’m still learning how to stand my ground,
so when the storm comes, I’ll be around.

When the world feels too loud, I’ll be still,
the quiet beside you when you can’t find your will.
When the dark starts closing in tight,
I’ll hold you close through the night.

When reality calls you away,
and the noise of the world won’t fade,
I’ll be the voice that calls you home,
till you’re safe, till you’re not alone.

When the world pulls you down, I’ll be there,
the calm that reminds you that I’m here.
When the dark starts closing in tight,
I’ll hold you close, and we’ll be alright.

If doubt starts calling your name,
lean on me, I’ll take the weight and the blame.

When the world feels too loud, I’ll be still,
the quiet beside you, when you’ve had your fill.
When the dark starts closing in tight,
I’ll hold you close through the night.

I'll be right here, 
(I'll be right here, )
I’ve got you now...
(I’ve got you now..)

I’ll keep you safe…
(I’ll keep you safe.)

Listen on Spotify

I'll Keep You Safe

Un himno suave pero firme sobre soltar la máscara y dejar que la noche te trate con ternura. “Luces Rojas Bajitas” mezcla Rock en Español, Spanglish ligero y coro coreable para quien está aprendiendo a elegirse sin culpa.

Luces Rojas Bajitas

“Dim Lights, Real Heart” is Chapter 4 of Unlearning the Quiet. A late-night safe-room moment where intimacy isn’t performance—it’s permission. Clean guitars, pop-hip-hop bounce, and a warm chorus carry the feeling of being held without judgment. This chapter is about letting your guard down and realizing softness can be strength.

Dim Lights, Real Heart

“All Eyes Off” is a Safe-Room Chapter from Unlearning the Quiet. It’s about dropping the pressure to perform, escaping judgment, and finally breathing like your life doesn’t need approval.

All Eyes Off

“Say It Right” is Chapter 7 of Unlearning the Quiet.
A pop-rock confession about being named correctly and seen fully—out loud. After years of shrinking to fit, this chapter is the moment you stop apologizing for your truth. Catchy hooks, warm guitars, and a chorus built to be sung back like a promise.

Say it Right

LoveBot Army is more than sound. It’s immersive. It’s collaborative. It’s a multi-sensory world built with digital artists, visual storytellers, and rule-breakers across every medium.

🎙️ Independent storyteller | 🇺🇸🇲🇽 | Voice through survival
I use AI-assisted tools to co-create some of my music and visuals, but every lyric, edit, and emotional heartbeat is mine.

All songs are legally licensed for commercial release. I rewrite, restructure, and remix every line until it reflects real life — mine, and maybe yours too.

This fundraiser supports a long-term mission:
• finishing my next album
• building a multi-year survival album series around real themes happening now
• creating music videos/AI visuals to bring these stories to life
• and producing beginner-friendly courses that help people grow with today’s tech and AI.

I’m not doing this for profit. I’m doing it to help people carry their trauma a little lighter.
If it helps even one person feel less alone in their frustration, grief, or journey… then it was worth creating.

🧠 Music built from survival.
🫀 Songs crafted with truth.
🎥 Visuals to make the stories real.
🤖 Powered by technology. Driven by heart.
