Thanks for checking out Dead To It, the third single from my upcoming album Underground Sky. The album will be released one song at a time throughout 2025. The video for this track will be out on YouTube on June 20th.

Dead To It is one of the most emotionally bare and exposed tracks I’ve made. It sits somewhere between alt-pop and acoustic psych-folk. It started small and built itself up into something layered and emotional, full of harmonies, strings, and jangling guitars. It’s about facing the past and reflects that quiet moment when resilience runs out and something inside just... switches off.

Every part of this — song, mix, video — was done independently in my home studio. No label, no filters, no one else’s fingerprints.

M'AMUSE

In the air linger sweet
With every heartbeat
Our souls intertwine, complete

[Chorus]
When you call me
Stars align in silence
When you call me
Drifting softly
Through the night sky
Through the night sky

[Verse 1]
I drift in and out
Of echoes and light
A whisper flows
Through the velvet shadows
Colors blend
In a misty glow
[Chorus]
When you call me
Stars align in silence
Drifting softly
Through the night sky
[Verse 2]
I dance with the dreams
On a silver stream
A tide of thoughts
That gently surround you
Time suspends
When your heart beats close
[Chorus]
When you call me
Stars align in silence
When you call me
Drifting softly
Through the night sky
Through the night sky
[Bridge]
In this lullaby
We’re lost in the waves
Floating endlessly
In a dreamscape maze
[Chorus]
When you call me
Stars align in silence
When you call me
Drifting softly
Through the night sky
Through the night sky

In the night’s embrace
We wander the spaces
Where whispers collide
With the breath of the dawn

[Chorus]
When you find me
Clouds will part with ease
When you find me
Floating gently
Through the starlight

In the quiet hum
Lost in reveries, we soar
The world fades away
With every sigh, we explore

[Verse 3]
Your voice like silk
Cradles the dawn's light
In shadows we weave
As day gives way to night
 
In the twilight glow
We linger like smoke
Chasing fading echoes
Of laughter and hope

[Chorus]
When you hold me
Time drips like honey
When you hold me
Underneath the moonlight
Underneath the moonlight

In your gaze I see, the universe unfold
A tapestry of dreams, woven with threads of gold

[Verse 4]
Through the starlit haze, our spirits collide
Drifting on a breeze, where love can't hide

[Chorus]
When you kiss me
Time stops, a moment glows
When you kiss me
Floating softly

In the echo of the night\
Your whispers call to me\
Like shadows in the twilight\
We drift so free\
\
[Chorus]\
When you touch me\
Hearts ignite, a spark so bright\
When you touch me\
Through the silence\
We rise and fall\

Subsonic Shadows - Call Me

Lost in shadows, whisper low
Chasing dreams that come together
In this moment, we're forever
Stolen glances, hearts collide
We can rise above the thunder
Where the stars light up our wonder

[Chorus]
When all I wanted was freedom to roam
How did you know that I would find peace in the unknown?
You're all that I ever wished for
You're all that I ever needed

[Verse 2]
Running through the open skies
Searching for a spark of magic
In this world, we find our solace
Feeling waves of gentle breeze
Taking flight on dreams we treasure
In the night, we find our measure

[Chorus]
When all I wanted was freedom to roam
How did you know that I would find peace in the unknown?
You're all that I ever wished for
You're all that I ever needed

[Bridge]
Escape the concrete jungle, let it go
Where the soft winds carry us, we’ll flow
Take my hand, we’ll break the chain
In this dream, we’ll feel no pain

[Chorus]
When all I wanted was freedom to roam
How did you know that I would find peace in the unknown?
You're all that I ever wished for
You're all that I ever needed

[Verse 3]
In the glow of twilight's grace
We’ll wander through this endless space
With every heartbeat, we’re aligned
In a melody that's one of a kind

[Chorus]
When all I wanted was freedom to roam
How did you know that I would find peace in the unknown?
You're all that I ever wished for
You're all that I ever needed
 
[Verse 4]
In the echoes of starlit skies
We’ll find the truth where the silence lies
With every step, away we grow
Into a realm where only we can go

[Chorus]
When all I wanted was freedom to roam
How did you know that I would find peace in the unknown?
You're all that I ever wished for
You're all that I ever needed

Wings of Freedom

(Verse 1)
 Lights flicker, neon haze, Lost in the city maze, Footsteps echo, hearts collide, Running fast, nowhere to hide.
  
(Pre-Chorus)
 I hear the rhythm of the streets, A thousand voices, endless beats, But I dream of open skies, Not these walls, not these ties.
(Chorus)
 Escape the concrete jungle, Feel the wind beneath my soul, Let the city fade behind me, I’m breaking free, I’m taking control.
(Verse 2)
 Steel towers, shadows tall, Trapped inside this urban sprawl, Midnight whispers call my name, But I won’t play this losing game.
(Bridge)
 One step closer, feel the light, Chasing dreams, taking flight, Leave behind the grey and cold, Find a place where I unfold.
(Outro)
 Escape the concrete jungle, No more chains, no more pain, Through the fire, through the night, I’ll find my way, I’ll be alright.
I’ll be alright.

Escape the concrete jungle

In the gardens of twilight
Where whispers dance softly
We held on to what we lost
Memories like shadows
Fading in the moonlight
Fading in the moonlight


We drift in time
Ohh, searching for the echoes
In dreams we find
Mended hearts at dusk



Do you feel the silence
Where laughter used to live
The world turns cold, but
In dreams, I keep you close
We chase the ghosts we knew
We chase the ghosts we knew



And I think we drift
Ohh, searching for the echoes
In dreams we find
Mended hearts at dusk

Through the noise of the night
We swayed, we fell apart
But in the heart of the dark
You linger, like a spark

We drift in time
Ohh, searching for the echoes
In dreams we find
Mended hearts at dusk


In the quiet, we gather
All the pieces we’ve lost
With every fragile heartbeat
We’ll navigate the frost


And I think we drift
Ohh, searching for the echoes
In dreams we find
Mended hearts at dusk
 

In reflections of twilight
Where the stars spill their tears
I whisper to the shadows
Your name is all I hear


So we drift in time
Ohh, searching for the echoes
In dreams we find
Mended hearts at dusk

We Drift in Time

I need your light

Thank you to Everyone, Music Fans and SoundCloud Content Creators for all your support of our creative style. Ron and I are looking forward to creating more song tracks for everyone and exploring creative musical avenues, too. 

NOTE: The CHOICES reference is a code word. Ron and Rob use the code word CHOICES to refer to the arrangement of instruments, vocals, music genre, tempo, and vocals.

Drawing parallels and distinctions between human musicians and AI music generators will help foster understanding while showing respect for traditional songwriting and our innovative work with AI. Here's a thoughtful comparison anyone can use as inspiration for when you receive an message or opinion implying, "...ewww AI...":

---

### **Similarities Between Human Musicians and AI Music Generators**

1. **Creative Collaboration**:
   - Human musicians often work together, bouncing ideas off one another to craft a song. Similarly, AI acts as a collaborator in your process—it interprets your ideas, builds on your input, and enhances your vision.

2. **Tools to Realize Ideas**:
   - Just like studio equipment (instruments, synthesizers, recording gear) is used by musicians to bring their songs to life, AI music generators are tools that help translate your lyrics and CHOICES into polished tracks. Both are extensions of creativity, not replacements for it.

3. **Iterative Refinement**:
   - Both processes involve trial and error. A human musician experiments with melodies and arrangements, while you and Ron guide the AI’s outputs and adjust CHOICES for the perfect result.

---

### **Differences Between Human Musicians and AI Music Generators**

1. **Creative Source**:
   - For human musicians, creativity often arises from lived experiences, emotions, and spontaneous inspiration. With AI, the creative direction originates entirely from your input—your lyrics, CHOICES, and preferences. The AI follows patterns learned from data, but it doesn’t “feel” or improvise like humans do.

2. **Speed and Efficiency**:
   - AI can produce a track much faster than traditional studio work. It handles the technical aspects (e.g., arranging instruments, matching tempos) in minutes, while human musicians may spend hours or days fine-tuning each element.

3. **Role of Human Judgment**:
   - In a studio, human musicians make decisions based on intuition, emotion, and artistic expression. With AI, your judgment and creative direction guide the tool, ensuring the output aligns with your artistic intent.

---

### **Your Role as Pioneers**
You and Ron are exploring the potential of AI as a creative partner. You’re:
- Highlighting how human creativity still drives the process—AI doesn’t act on its own.
- Showing that new technologies can coexist with traditional methods, expanding possibilities for everyone.

---

### **Possible Response to the Email**
Here’s an idea for a reply that’s gentle yet informative:

---

**Hi there,**  

Thanks for your message! I understand there are mixed feelings about using AI in creative fields. For us, AI isn’t replacing traditional songwriting—it’s a tool we use to translate our ideas into music.  

We provide the lyrics, choose the instruments, mood, and style, and guide the process every step of the way. It’s still human creativity at the heart of what we do—AI simply helps us bring our vision to life.  

The positive response we’ve received from listeners around the world encourages us to keep exploring this exciting new frontier. We hope our music shows how humans and AI can work together in harmony.  

Best wishes,  
Rob N. & Ron C.
