The Motive

Shoot Me Down

This song is a journey into the heart of Yosemite — a place where dawn touches the granite walls and the silence itself begins to breathe. Through acoustic textures, warm harmonies, and cinematic natural imagery, the lyrics follow the valley’s ancient echoes, the tall sequoias, the wild animals, and the shimmer of the Merced as day rises and falls.

It’s a reflection on awe, stillness, and the way nature reminds us who we are. Yosemite becomes a keeper of light, a cradle of peace, a place where the soul can rest and return to itself. Every verse moves deeper into the forest’s breath, and every chorus carries the longing to remain — or to return the moment you leave.

A tribute to mountains, rivers, sky, truth… and the eternal pull of a place that makes you whole.

Lyrics:
When the dawn touches the granite walls,
and the silence breathes through the mountains,
the earth remembers her song...

[Verse 1]
Morning rises on El Capitan,
granite shining beneath the sun.
From the valley drifts a voice,
ancient echo of earth and light.

[Verse 2]
Through the sequoias I walk slow,
where the heartbeat of time still flows.
Every leaf keeps a whispered rhyme,
every root hums a song through time.

[Bridge]
Oh Yosemite, cradle of light,
stars fall gently from skies so bright.
Your rivers sing, your pines still dream,
my soul in you can rest in peace.

[Chorus]
Oh Yosemite, keeper of sun,
whisper eternal, your work undone.
Under your spirit I’m born anew,
mountain and river, sky and truth.
Oh Yosemite, you hold my song,
your sacred name will still live on.
Under your shadow I’m born anew,
earth, mountain, heaven — all in you.

[Verse 3]
Deer in the meadow softly glide,
an eagle circles the mountainside.
A bear moves slowly through the pine,
the forest breathes — and all is fine.

[Verse 4]
The Merced shines like crystal glass,
carrying songs from ages past.
Evening falls, the woods ignite,
dressed in the glow of fading light.

[Bridge]
Here I learn what it means to live,
to feel, to listen, to simply give.
The silence speaks — and I can hear:
I am the sky, the flame, the sphere.

[Chorus]
Oh Yosemite, keeper of sun,
whisper eternal, your work undone.
Under your spirit I’m born anew,
mountain and river, sky and truth.
And when I go, my heart still stays—
caught in your light, your endless ways.
For even as the road pulls me through,
the moment I leave… I long for you.

Yosemite Cradle Of Light

“Golden Hair” is a soft romantic pop ballad about a young man walking home through New York winter evenings. Lost in December thoughts, he looks up and sees her—a stranger whose golden hair and quiet glow stop his world cold.

From that moment, she haunts his week: the shy glance, the missed chance, the routines he repeats hoping to cross paths again. When he finally sees her a third time, he gathers the courage to speak… only to discover she felt the same spark.

A story of timing, longing, and the kind of unexpected connection that stays with you long after the moment passes.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Five o’clock — heading home.
December cold in my phone.
Holiday plans in my head.
Frozen hands, walking fast.
Eyes down low, drifting off.
Lose my place, lose the clock.
Look up once — heartbeat bright…
There she stands in golden light.
There she stands in golden light.

[Chorus]
Golden hair, fading day
Olive skin, winter haze
Walked right by, lost my place
Couldn't speak, froze in place
All week long, see her face
Holding on to that trace
Haven’t seen her since then
But she’s stuck in my head

[Verse 2]
Five o’clock — same routine.
Same cold street, same old scene.
Did she smile? Did she glance?
Was it real or just my chance?
Looked down quick — moment flew.
Shy as hell, didn’t know what to do.
Every night I scan that lane…
Then I see her — Tuesday blue.

[Chorus]
Golden hair, fading day
Olive skin, winter haze
Different dress, same soft glow
Hits me hard when she goes
Still too shy for a word
Still unsure if I'm heard
Let that moment slip by
As she vanished in gray

[Bridge]
Another week — tell my mind
She was just a spark to find.
Crosswalk light turning green.
Same old path, same routine.
Look up once — there she stands.
Heart beats loud, marching bands.
Third time now — won’t step back…
Time to breathe and let it crack.

[Ending]
“Listen… this might sound bold,
But I’ve carried what I’ve been told.
Since that day, you caught my eye—
You’re mesmerizing, I won’t lie.”
She looks up — gentle smile,
Soft and shy in city style.
Says, “I’ve felt something too…
I was thinking that of you.”

Sent From Above

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.

Rita Road Sessions
Music from the heart of London.

Afterglow (Ed Sheeran Piano Vocal Cover by olliray) (Live)

Healing starts from the heart.
I make music from scars, truth, and the moments that changed me. detected to Jules Forever and ever

Echo Heir is a rising Florida indie band crafting emotive, story-driven music.

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.
