Fading

Match My Fire

"Mixtape Ghosts" is a haunting, heartfelt tribute that rewinds the clock to the sun-soaked summers of the 90s, where skateboards carved the streets, arcade machines flickered with Street Fighter showdowns, and Anthrax roared through boomboxes. This song is more than a nostalgic trip—it’s a raw, emotional elegy to a lost friend, blending the thrill of youthful rebellion with the crushing weight of grief.

From the opening verse, you’re plunged into a vivid world of "skateboards and kick flips" and "spray-paint vows," a time when life pulsed with reckless freedom. The lyrics capture the chaos and camaraderie of those days—quarters slipping into arcade slots, bikes tearing through dawn, Mortal Kombat battles echoing in the air—only to pivot into the stark silence left by loss. The chorus, with its unforgettable "mixtape ghosts hum through the air tonight," is a gut-wrenching refrain that binds the joy of memory to the ache of absence, as if the past itself is slipping through the singer’s fingers.

This isn’t just a song for 90s kids who rocked baggy pants and Vans; it’s a universal cry for anyone who’s ever lost someone too soon. Lines like "fate turned cold, its hands too swift" and "death struck hard, a ruthless blade" cut deep, laying bare the unfairness of a life stolen, while the bridges offer glimmers of hope— "you’re the hymn that lifts me from within." The extended outro, with its desperate plea to "play it back" as the "static weeps," feels like a last stand against time, clinging to fading echoes of a wild forever.

Musically, "Mixtape Ghosts" takes you on a dynamic ride—quiet, introspective verses swell into cathartic, fist-to-the-sky choruses, mirroring the emotional push and pull of nostalgia and mourning. It’s a sound that could sit alongside emo, post-hardcore, or indie rock, with a poetic edge that fans of evocative songwriting will devour. The vivid imagery—mixtapes spinning, phantoms flickering, frequencies fading—wraps you in a sensory haze that’s as comforting as it is heartbreaking.

Press play on "Mixtape Ghosts" and let it carry you back to a time when the world felt invincible, only to remind you of what’s been lost. It’s a bittersweet journey through summers unwound and friendships eternal, where every beat pulses with love, loss, and the unshakable presence of those who still run wild in the static. For anyone who’s ever rewound a tape to hold onto a memory, this song will hit like a tidal wave—and linger long after the final fade.

Mixtape Ghost

100 days of Winter. ( demo. )

until the end of the world. ( demo. )

happily ever after. ( live demo. )

My beloved, you never called me "my love,"
Never once said "my love" to me.
Never thought that day and night,
Someone's weeping in solitude for you.
You never said, "There's someone crying for me,"
Never said it, my love.

Is it a crime for me to love you?
I weep bitterly, endlessly.
You never gave me ointment for my wounds,
Never said, "Take this balm, heal yourself."
Never told me, "Heal your wounds," my love.

Not even once did you say, "Smile for me,"
Nor did you say, "Dry your tears."
I've spent a lifetime chasing after you,
Yet you never once said, "Come to me,"
Never said, "Come, my love,"
Never invited me close, my love.

Медленный грустный рок, закат за МКАДом и мысли, что возвращают к самому важному. Мой новый сингл — это саундтрек к моментам тишины, осознания и саморефлексии. Атмосферное звучание, проникновенный вокал и строки, в которых каждый узнает себя. Идеально подойдет к грустным роковым плейлистам

Чего мне не хватало

Singer looking for like minded musicians to help turn my demos into real songs and start some kind of acoustic based indie rock, emo, folk punk band. Something along the lines of The Weakerthans, The Get Up Kids, The Honorary Title, Aaron West and the Roaring Twenties, AJJ, Straylight Run, The Good Life, The Early November, Vinnie Caruana, Dashboard Confessional, This Wild Life, etc.

🎸 Welcome to my musical journey! 🎶

Hey there, music enthusiasts! I'm Oz a hobbyist musician who's been strumming the strings of my guitar since my teenage years. Music has always been my passion, weaving its melodies through every chapter of my life. From the intricate rhythms of Oriental music to the rebellious energy of pop-punk, the timeless allure of blues, the groove of funk, and the nostalgia of electronic sounds from the '80s and '90s, I find inspiration in a diverse array of genres.

For me, music is more than just sound – it's a language of emotions, a canvas where I paint my feelings and experiences. The power of music to evoke and express emotions never ceases to amaze me. Being part of this vibrant community here on SoundCloud fuels my creative drive and pushes me to explore new sonic landscapes.

As the legendary Bob Marley once said, "One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain." So join me on this musical voyage, where we'll dive deep into the ocean of melodies and rhythms, sharing moments of joy, introspection, and everything in between.

Let's make some noise together! 🤘
