Eternal Carousel – a 3/4 maloya-tinged downtempo waltz. Reverb-drenched nylon guitar spins minor-key arpeggios over ghostly pads, pulsing upright bass, and hushed Afro-Arab vocalisations.

A couple locked together so long they can’t tell heaven from hell — still riding the same haunted carousel, still confessing, still spellbound.

“Don't look a horse in the mouth 
Or a dead man in the eye 
Don't ever stare into the sun 
Well is dry ... it's bone dry”

[Intro] (Yeah) (It’s heavy in here) (Look...)

[Chorus] Room spinning slow, velvet on the sheets Ghost in the corner, staring back at me I don’t want the hype, I just want the peace But you bring the war every time you leave.

Yeah, every time you leave (Woah) Heart froze over, 20 degrees (Ice) Silence is the loudest thing that you speak Velvet and ash, falling at my feet.

[Verse 1] Okay, look at the time, 4 AM vibe Fog on the window, nowhere to hide No city lights, just the dark and the tide Ego is bruised, gotta swallow my pride.

I’m scrolling the text, reading the thread Taking back every single thing that I said The mahogany table, the empty glass Watching the sand run out of the glass.

You say you’re done, but you watching my story Looking for signs, looking for glory Ain't nothing bright here, nothing to see Just a hollowed-out shell where I used to be.

[Pre-Chorus] And I know, and I know, and I know That the comedown hits when the high gets low. Yeah, I know, yeah I know, yeah I know We were built to crash, we were built to slow.

[Chorus] Room spinning slow, velvet on the sheets (Yeah) Ghost in the corner, staring back at me (It’s staring) I don’t want the hype, I just want the peace But you bring the war every time you leave. (Brrt)

Yeah, every time you leave (Woah) Heart froze over, 20 degrees (Ice, Ice) Silence is the loudest thing that you speak Velvet and ash, falling at my feet.

[Verse 2] Back-to-back, heart attack, why we do it like that? Sent a text, want it back, cut me strictly no slack. Got the matte black Range, switching lanes in the rain Tryna outrun the memories, outrun the pain.

I don’t need a spotlight, I don’t need a club I just need a remedy, I need a drug Not the pills in the cabinet, I’m talking your touch But the price that I pay is a little too much.

Shadows are dancing, they climbing the wall Waiting for you to pick up on the call But it’s voicemail again, yeah, it’s voicemail again Tell me, are we lovers or are we just friends?

[Bridge] (Ooh-ooh) Burn it down to the filter. (Ooh-ooh) Nothing left but the silver. I can’t find the door in the dark. You left a mark... yeah, you left a mark.

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus] Room spinning slow, velvet on the sheets (Spinning, spinning) Ghost in the corner, staring back at me (Yeah!) I don’t want the hype, I just want the peace But you bring the war every time you leave.

Yeah, every time you leave Heart froze over, 20 degrees (So cold) Silence is the loudest thing that you speak Velvet and ash, falling at my feet.

[Outro] Falling at my feet... Just ash... Just dust... (Click)

VELVET & ASH

Sharing a raw, early version of something new I’m working on.

"Hold My Own" is a late-night reflection on the silence that grows between people, the feeling of being physically near someone while emotionally miles apart. It’s about the cruelty of silence and trying to find your footing when the days start to blur.

Still finding the final shape for this one, but wanted to share the idea in its stripped-back form.

Thank you for listening.

'Cause I've been here for, 
been here for so long 
And I wonder how to hold my own 
And I hear you singing into the night 
Watch as the moon rises high 
The sun won't know it's own daylight

I Never knew you could be so cruel
I never knew you could be so cruel 
Without saying a word to me 
Without saying a word to me

Howdy! I’m Alexander Rivers, a songwriter, guitarist, and student of voice. These are raw, one-take sketches recorded on my phone whenever I pick up a guitar. I’m finding my sound, stretching into something new, just truth in the moment. I'm working on a more polished version of these songs (and others) to put in an album one day.

Some of these songs reflect hard things, grief, loss, mental health. If you’re already carrying something heavy, and these songs speak to it, please know you’re not alone. Music is how I process pain, maybe it helps you too.
