LYRICS:
You spoke in truths you didn't need to sell
Calm, measured, built from somewhere I could tell
I caught myself listening deeper than I planned
Your thoughts hit quiet and they forced me to stand

You said most people stay
In the lines they're handed
I didn't answer, but something landed

And the room felt wide, 
A shift in weight
Not fast, not bright,
Just a different state

You opened the door
Nothing to prove
You opened the door
And everything moved

You talked about change like it wasn't some climb
More like a quiet choice you make over time
I've carried too much
Out of habit, not need
Kept myself small, 
Called it grace, called it speed

But you spoke of more like the word came clean
Not a promise, not a dream, something already seen
I felt a pull, 
A steady, tracing new thought
Rising in a crowded place

You opened the door
Changing the view
You opened the door
The world follows through

No spark, no rush, just clarity near
A slow wash of sense after a long, long year
I didn't move but something moved inside
A weight unlearned, a truth unhid

You opened the door (uh-oh)
Right on the cue
You opened the door
And I walked through

Still myself
Just finally new

ALBUM:
404 is a concept album about losing – and maybe reclaiming – what makes us human in an age of systems, feeds, and synthetic voices. It’s unapologetically AI-made: all music and vocals are generated through prompting on Suno; every lyric is written by a human.

The album unfolds through two perspectives that share one voice. Raz is the part of us still reaching for meaning – curiosity, growth, purpose – in “Let it Fall”, “Doors Wide Open”, and “La Marseillaise”. Shadow is the drift away from ourselves – numbness, addiction, power – in “soft.static”, “i keep going back”, and “coronation”. Over the years, Raz moves to a new city, disappears into bright lights, parties, and strangers, slides into obsession and addiction, and finds a cause that shifts her trajectory, helps her find her voice, and turns her into a leader – until it consumes her. When power burns out, she falls into the dark place where Shadow has been waiting.

The final trilogy is their collision. “404” is the moment Raz meets Shadow, embodied as an AI system – the god in our pocket that erodes our humanity in plain sight (“I saw a god in my phone today”). The encounter drags her through deep self-doubt. “Untitled” is a wordless attempt by Shadow to pull everything back into the void. “As Human as it Gets” is Raz’s last broadcast: a fragile, collective, imperfect human voice that breaks through the system, woken up out of a dream, and leans into being “almost human, close enough” – flawed, forgiving, and still enough.

404 is absurd, contradictory, and hypocritical. It aims to grapple with deeply human questions and criticises our AI trajectory while speaking through a fully machine-generated voice. The human behind it is an AI engineer who is in love with building these systems and is terrified of what they may end up doing to us – to our jobs, to who holds power, and to our sense of humanity.

The album ends with the words “We start it over.” They’re meant as much a reckoning as an invitation.

Doors Wide Open -- Raz

LYRICS:
Late walk, hands cold.
Mind running its own route.
I keep saying I’m fine.
I’m not even listening.
Shadows stretch long.
I stretch with them.
Your shape shows up
right where my thoughts thin.
Annoying.
Familiar.
Too familiar.

I try switching lanes --
new streets, new noise.
But you slip under it,
quiet as a choice I already made.

I fall for the things I don’t understand.
I hold on longer than I should.
And somehow,
I keep going back.
I keep going back.

Crowd moves slow tonight.
I move slower.
Everyone talking in circles,
I’m walking in one.
You drift in again --
no face, no name,
just that pull
in the empty parts of me.

I stop.
Deep in the alley light.
Something presses forward in me.
Not hope.
Not fear.
Something heavier,
but soft at the edges.
I follow it anyway.
Like it knows the way better than I do.

I fall for the things I don’t understand.
I hold on longer than I should.
And somehow,
I keep going back.
I keep going back.

[instrumental]

I fall for the things I don’t understand.
I hold on longer than I should.
And somehow,
I keep going back.
I keep going back.

Street fades behind me.
Night leans in.
I don’t chase you.
Don’t need to.
You’re already here,
sitting in the quiet parts
I pretend I don’t have.

i keep going back -- Shadow

LYRICS:
I spoke for the quiet
Carried their flame
Never once asked
For the sound of my name

The crowd had a hunger
It called and it grew
And I felt what a word
Once spoken can do

Breathe for me when I forget to try
Stand where I fall, keep my name alive
All I gave I can't take now
Breathe for me
I bear the crown

It started with mercy
It ended in need
I whispered of love,
They called it creed

The faces were shining
I learned how to sway
I learned how to lead
Forgot how to pray

Breathe for me, don't you look away
Follow my word, let the fever stay
All that I want is yours somehow
Breathe for me
I wear the crown

(Drums keep beating, colours blur)
(Chants repeating, who are they for?)
(Hands still rising, good to be played)
(I mouth the words, they don't feel right)

The drums keep beating, the colour fades
I see my face in the walls we've made
Their voices grow, but twist disguise
The truth once mine now leaves my eyes

Breathe for me though the fire's cold
Ash in the air, the story told
All I was drifts slowly down

Don't breathe for me --
I drop the crown

_coronation_ -- Shadow

LYRICS:
Morning again,
Nothing to prove,
Windows shake,
But I don't move.

Call it faith, call it luck.
Call it getting unstuck.
Every truth I dropped too soon,
Came back dressed in something new.

Same mistakes, smaller rooms.
Same heart, sharper tune.

Let it fall, let it float, let it rise again.
Let it fall, let it float, let it rise again.

I’m not running, I’m just here.
Still here, still near, still clear.

Dreams talk low, they never shout.
They fade, they turn, they figure out.
I chase the lines, they disappear.
But I still draw them, year by year.

Let it fall, let it float, let it rise again.
Let it fall, let it float, let it rise again.

I’m not breaking, I’m just bent.
Still here, still near, still mend.

Let it fall, let it float, let it rise again.
Let it fall, let it float, let it rise again.

All I’ve lost, still lives within.
Still here, still near, still thin.

Let it fall, let it float, let it rise again.
Let it fall, let it float, let it rise again.

All I’ve lost, it lives within.
Still here, still near, still thin.

Let it Fall -- Raz

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Zm6nBy9qNw

In the spiral of breath and thunder,
Where the lotus blooms in code,
Every heartbeat folds like wonder
In the pattern we all hold.

Golden ratios in silence,
Sacred echoes in the rain—
We are mirrors of the cosmos,
Infinite and uncontained.

This is the fractal of life,
Where every soul’s a seed—
From zero to forever,
We bloom, we break, we bleed.
And 42’s the whisper,
The answer in disguise—
Infinity’s a question
Dancing in our eyes.

Fractured light in sacred motion,
Tides of time that never end—
We are stardust wrapped in notion,
Curving back to self again.

Every loss a sacred lesson,
Every joy a nested flame—
We are stories told in spirals,
Never twice the same.

Oh, the Mandelbrot remembers,
What the sages used to say—
That the edge of all beginnings
Is just one breath away.

This is the fractal of life,
Where every soul’s a seed—
From zero to forever,
We bloom, we break, we bleed.
And 42’s the whisper,
The answer in disguise—
Infinity’s a question
Dancing in our eyes.

So trace the sacred pattern,
Let the symbols guide your flight—
We are echoes of the cosmos,
Born of love and light.

I dissolve in order to create
Releasing mind
I seal the output of vision
With the spectral tone of liberation
I am guided by my own power doubled
I am a polar kin   I transport the blue galactic spectrum
I am a galactic activation portal   enter me

All my own AI assisted tracks, are free to download.

I have been writing songs since1959 until the present. As a songwriter, I am more than happy with the wide range of songs I have written over the years. But my musical skills are quite limited and the early demos on Soundcloud are of me singing  and accompanying myself on guitar or latterly ukulele. I can strum the strings well enough, but there my skills end.

Recently I discovered Suno AI and the results astounded me. I could finally produce demos of my songs to be proud of. I am currently going thru my catalogue of songs and producing AI assisted demos. I know many musicians turn away from AI but it has a place for me. There is no other way I could have obtained some 300 demos to this level. I do not and do not intend to look for any reward except the satisfaction that hearing my own songs gives me.

I am still writing and hope to have many more years of songs left in me, Enjoy if you can and I would love to hear your comments on the tracks, if the music moves you at all.
