Letting Go ft. Bella

This song is an electrifying and uplifting anthem that captures the excitement and liberation of ringing in a new year. With its infectious energy and driving beats, the song is about letting go of past worries and embracing the thrill of new beginnings. It's a celebration of living in the moment, defying time, and igniting the spark of possibility with the people around you.


LYRICS:

[Verse 1]
Lights flashin' so bright
Clock tickin' close to midnight
Cheers rise high in the night
Hearts racin' feelin' right

[Verse 2]
Dancin' wild in the crowd
Spirits lift everybody loud
Laughter echoes through the haze
Got no time for yesterday's maze

[Chorus]
Tonight we break the chain
Leave behind all the pain
In this moment we reign
New Year's Eve no restrain

[Verse 3]
Confetti falls from the sky
Dreams soar we aim high
Kisses stolen while we grin
Future calls let's begin

[Verse 4]
Time's a thief we defy
Underneath this cosmic sky
Hands joined tight we ignite
Chasing dawn till morning light

[Bridge]
Glittering paths under feet
Lost in a rhythm so sweet
Together we face the unknown
A new chapter our own


New Year's Eve Beat

It's a grieving and letting go kind of song.  But there is beauty, too, and freedom in walking away.  (From co-dependence and unhealthy soul ties).

No Use (Breaking the Door Down)

"Lease Forms and Love Notes" traces a relationship backwards from final move-out to first apartment viewing. Through specific details like security deposit photos and first-time lease signatures, it explores how bureaucratic papers bookmark our emotional chapters. The production supports the reverse journey, following the path from empty rooms back to hopeful beginnings. Each scene reveals another layer of their story, while everyday details become powerful symbols of both temporary and permanent marks we leave on each other's lives. The reverse chronology transforms practical paperwork into emotional artifacts, speaking to anyone who's ever signed their name to both beginnings and endings.

Lease Forms And Love Notes

A song about letting go and moving forward, themed around driving.

Carbureter (Vocal Mix)

"can we just hear
noise and colours and faces and
can i just pretend i don't have to cry
no, i'm not ready
it's not over
i'm not ready

to face your empty room
your empty space
your empty everything in my life
i will never hear your voice
i will never hear you laugh again
i will never hear you say my name 
again

so let's just pretend it isn't real
'cause i'm not ready
i'm not ready to say
to say
goodbye"

Lyrics by Wildsilences

Just Pretend [Open Collab]

This song was written to assert the good in my world, and explore realities of parenting together with strong hands and hearts.

5 Takeaways 'The Let Them Theory' by Mel Robbins 

The Let Them Theory Amazon link
https://amzn.to/42eoFYj

I’m Judy Croon, and let me tell you—Mel Robbins has kicked off 2025 in serious style. Her latest book, The Let Them Theory, has topped bestseller lists and earned glowing reviews, including an exclusive sit-down with none other than Oprah herself.
While I wait for Mel to pencil me in for a chat, I thought I’d share the Top 5 Takeaways from this insightful “shelf-help” page-turner.
If you’ve ever been stressed, frustrated, or downright overwhelmed trying to control everything (and everyone) around you, this book is your permission slip to stop. Yes, you can finally take a deep breath, let go, and—wait for it—let them.
Now, this theory has floated around therapist offices for years, but it takes someone like Mel Robbins to dust it off, pop on her signature black spectacles, and give us a fresh perspective. With her trademark mix of tough love, heartfelt encouragement, and a little humor, Mel reminds us: “Hey, you can’t fix everything—and you don’t have to.”
 
5️⃣ The Power of Letting Go
One of the book’s core lessons is that most of our stress comes from trying to micromanage other people’s choices. Mel delivers a reality check: their actions aren’t your responsibility. They’ll do what they’re going to do, whether you lose sleep over it or not. And honestly? That’s freeing.
Her advice hit home for me. As someone juggling a thousand things (and dropping a few balls along the way), I realized letting go doesn’t mean giving up—it means focusing on what you can control: yourself.

5 Takeaways from the Bestseller 'The Let Them Theory' by Mel Robbins

In this episode, I’m opening up the window to my one of the hardest things I ever had to do in life, and I bet some of you listening also had or have a tough time with: letting go.

I want to start with a line from the poet Rumi. He wrote, “Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.”

The question I have for you is, how do we let ourselves be pulled forward when we’re weighed down by pain, loss, or trauma?

When people advise to let “it” go it sounds simple, but it’s not. It could be a loss of a job, a relationship that ended, or a dream that feels out of reach, letting go can feel like giving up. Like you’re losing a part of yourself. 

But what if letting go isn’t about losing? What if it’s about making space?

THE ART OF LETTING GO

Letting Go Chopped and screwed - Nitin Sawhney

Yesterday’s shadows whisper low
Holding tight to what we used to know
Dusty dreams in a faded frame
But today is calling out my name

Broken clocks and empty rooms
Echoes of forgotten tunes
I’ll pack away these haunted ghosts
Set them free along the coast

Letting go of all that’s gone
Turning pages one by one
I’ll find a light where the night has passed
And I’ll rise beyond the past

Memories like paper planes
Flying off in softer rains
No more chains to hold me still
Winds of change bend to my will

Old regrets
I wave goodbye
No more tears to dry my eyes
Embrace the new with open arms
In this story
I’ll write my charms

Letting go of all that’s gone
Turning pages one by one
I’ll find a light where the night has passed
And I’ll rise beyond the past

BEDTIME STORIES
mm-mmm, mm-mmm
[Verse 1]
I let you in
You sell the dream
You never stay
For long it seems
A day or two
You’re on your way
The further you go
I’m okay

[Chorus]
I don’t wanna hear your bedtime stories
I don’t wanna be your plaything
I don’t wanna know where you’ve been
I’m done being your second-string

[Verse 2]
Keep your money
I’m not your whore
I’ve got my dog
She loves me more
I see you now
For who you are
You’ll never know me
From afar

[Chorus]
I don’t wanna hear your bedtime stories
I don’t wanna be your plaything
I don’t wanna know where you’ve been
I’m done being your second-string

mm-mmm, mm-mmm

[Verse 3]
Go back to Seattle 
Go back to Illinois
Go back to Texas
Be a good ol’ boy
Tell your new bride
That you love her
Bring her roses
Like no other

[Chorus]
I don’t wanna hear your bedtime stories
I don’t wanna be your plaything
I don’t wanna know where you’ve been
I’m done being your second-string

mm-mmm, mm-mmm

Lyrics

Verse 1
Driving past your block again
Something pulls me here
Not the same as back then
When you held me near

Radio up loud tonight
Trying not to think
But these streets remind me
Of everything we did

Pre-Chorus
Heart beating faster now
As I pass your window
Used to call this home
Now I'm just somebody that you used to know

Chorus
Looking better than your memory (yeah-eh-eh)
Bet you wouldn't recognize me (no-oh-oh)
Riding through these empty streets alone
But I'm finally letting go

Verse 2
Got your message yesterday
Left me on read
Funny how it hits different
Inside my head

Dancing in my car right now
Bass up real high
Bet you're wondering who I am
When I drive by

Pre-Chorus
Heart racing like before
As I pass your house
But this time I know
I'm stronger than all my doubts

Chorus
Looking better than your memory (yeah-eh-eh)
Bet you wouldn't recognize me (no-oh-oh)
Riding through these empty streets alone
But I'm finally letting go

Bridge
Time heals
But speed helps
Night air
New self
Can't stay
Won't break
My way
Your loss

Chorus
Looking better than your memory (yeah-eh-eh)
Bet you wouldn't recognize me (no-oh-oh)
Riding through these empty streets alone
But I'm finally letting go (oh-oh)

Better Than Memory

Much love from the USA,

Grandaddy Dub was a wise old wook who lived on Big Dub Candy Mountain, a magical place where the music never stopped and the colors never faded. He had a long beard that sparkled with glitter and a big smile that warmed everyone's hearts. He loved to teach the Baby wooks, the young ones who came to the mountain to learn about life and love. He taught them about peace, love, unity, respect and responsibility, the five principles that guided his own journey. He told them stories of his adventures in the world, how he met the fairies who showed him the way to the mountain, and how he was outcasted by society for being different and free. He encouraged them to follow their dreams, to be kind to each other and to nature, and to always dance with joy. Grandaddy Dub was a legend among the wooks, a mentor and a friend, a source of wisdom and inspiration.

Songwriting has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to elementary school when I first began crafting stories, poems, and eventually lyrics. As a former drummer in various bands, I always relied on others to bring my words to life musically. However, after a long hiatus from drumming, I decided to take the leap and learn to compose music to accompany my lyrics. Through classes and dedication, I've embarked on a new journey, breathing fresh life into old lyrics and penning new ones. You'll find a mix of older and newer works here, for the lyrics. 

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is being completely entranced by 'The Little Drummer Boy' as a very young child. There was something about the rhythm and the melody that just captivated me. I must have played it a thousand times, wearing the record out, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a drummer, and to create that magic for others. 

But I was too young then, and of course I couldn't afford a drum set just yet. So, I turned to writing as a way to express myself. As I mentioned above, I started with stories, then poems, and eventually, lyrics. I found that writing was not only a way to tap into my creativity, but also a way to process my emotions and experiences. 

As I grew older, my love for music only deepened. I realized that music has this incredible power to transport us to different times and places, to evoke emotions and memories that we thought were long forgotten. It's a universal language that can bring people together like nothing else can. 

For me, writing lyrics is a cathartic experience. It's a way for me to tap into my emotions, to process the world around me, and to create something that I hope will resonate with others. And when I hear my words come to life in a song, it's truly magical. It's a feeling that never gets old, and it's what keeps me coming back to music time and time again. 

I love many genres of music and artists of many genres. And if you listen to some of my songs, you will find that I like to make songs of different genres as well as mix different genres into each song. One of my all-time favorite bands is Evanescence, and I have made a lot of songs where I have tried my best to emulate that sound. Now, I have recently started experimenting with new sounds. I never heard of glitch beats before I took music classes, and now I'm fascinated with the sound, so I have been experimenting with glitch beats recently and will be releasing those very soon. 

I hope you enjoy them. And thanks to everyone who has been listening so far. I truly appreciate it. I welcome constructive feedback to help me grow as an artist, and I appreciate your support.
