“The Rush” by Patrick Amunson is a heartbreakingly beautiful breakup song that blends a delicate piano melody with a raw, emotive solo male vocal. The song’s soft tone and wistful delivery create an atmosphere of longing, as it recounts the fleeting intensity of a love that burned brightly but inevitably faded.

The lyrics paint vivid images of love found in secret places, late-night dances under neon lights, and whispered dreams shared beneath silver skies. There’s an aching sincerity in the way the verses unfold, capturing the intoxicating rush of love and the quiet sorrow of its end.

As the song progresses, the heartbreak deepens. The bridge delivers a poignant shift—love once felt so real, yet it was all an illusion. The desperation in the repeated “Why?” pleads for answers that may never come. By the final chorus and outro, the realization sets in: holding on is futile, yet the craving for what once was still lingers.

Through its elegant piano arrangement and evocative lyrics, “The Rush” is a bittersweet reflection on love, loss, and the lingering echoes of passion that refuse to fade. It’s a song that captures the beauty of heartbreak, leaving listeners suspended between nostalgia and closure.

The Rush

(Verse)
I asked the universe why you showed up in my life,
The universe said to show me the kind of love that I could really feel,
Oh and what I was worthy of,

So I would never settle for less than what you gave me,
Melting in your arms, a little boy could finally learn to let go, 
Your fingers through my hair, your soul wrapped around mine,

(Chorus)
So off I go into the world with you behind me,
Having loved and yet lost the prettiest eyes that ever saw through me,
Call it cruel or beautiful, the way that you were gone,
As quickly as you came, I thought an angel had found me,

I grow tired of crying when I think of you,
And all that you were to me in the little time that I now weigh,
In the blink of an eye, oh I could've spent an eternity with you,
Asleep in your arms again, running away to Dreamland, 

(Verse)
The heart's a fickle thing, running away like a child,
Even the strongest of us are powerless against its will,
Oh its got to have what it wants,

And so I let it run away unsupervised,
Straight into your arms where it found a home whose walls were safe from all reality,
Where the man could learn to love the boy again,

(Chorus)
So off I go into the world with you behind me,
Having loved and yet lost the prettiest eyes that ever saw through me,
Call it cruel or beautiful, the way that you were gone,
As quickly as you came, I thought an angel had found me,

I grow tired of crying when I think of you,
And all that you were to me in the little time that I now weigh,
In the blink of an eye, oh I could've spent an eternity with you,
Asleep in your arms again, running away to Dreamland,

(Bridge)
And now I tear as I write this having already said goodbye,
I wish I could throw it all away and take my place at your side,
But it wouldn't be right, two lovers out of time,
I just hope you'll carry with you a little piece of me forever, 

Were you an angel sent to remind me who I am,
The lover I had asked for when I cried out into the void,
Stumbling through the dark I began to see the light,  
So I'll keep on looking for you, I will,

It's not your fault that I fell so hard,
It's nobody's fault love hurts more than anything,
So this is how I say goodbye,
I wish things were different but I just can't be in your life,

(Chorus)
So off I go into the world with you behind me,
Having loved and yet lost the prettiest eyes that ever saw through me,
Call it cruel or beautiful, the way that you were gone,
As quickly as you came, I thought an angel had found me,

I grow tired of crying when I think of you,
And all that you were to me in the little time that I now weigh,
In the blink of an eye, oh I could've spent an eternity with you,
Asleep in your arms again, running away to Dreamland,

(Outro)
Falling gently back into the place you live in my head,
Stitching my heart back together I'll keep you safe and sound in the hole you carved out of me,

And if you should find yourself all alone,
Just remember that I'm out there somewhere and I'm thinking of you, I'm still longing to be with you,
So never forget, I promise I won't forget you...

Dreamland

If I could keep you inside my locket forever
Keep you beside me so we're never apart
If I could be by your side, forever together
If I could have you in my locket again 

If I could keep you inside my locket forever
Keep you beside me so we're never apart
If you could stay when I made a mistake
Stay in my heart, in my soul
Like a wish

locket

Lyrics:
We hope it never ends
But here we go again
That arrow through the heart
The bus that must depart

A rhythm that must fade
Those fates demand their pay
The paths we had to cross
Past loves that we have lost

We can’t I go back in time
The reel does not rewind
No secrets will unfurl for us to see

Our mortal coils unwind
There is no second time
So this is where you choose
There is no time to lose

So turn around right now
It’s not time to take that bow
The bus that she is on
Is the bus there you belong

Too many secrets
The whispers of the heart
For death is hesitation
Forever to be apart


Whispers of the Heart

You sit there so close yet so impossibly far away
It would be easier if I never had to see you
You talk and laugh with everyone but me
But that is what we needed it to be

Hopeless From the Start

Small Town Slow Down

My mind strays to you a thousand times a day
Your name’s become my mantra

Most days are more pain than infatuation
I know you are bad for me

A Beautiful Way to Fall

À travers la fenêtre
(By Twin Kiss)

[Verse 1]

There’s wind coming through the window tonight,
Il y a du vent qui entre ce soir,

And your name floats in the cool air.
et ton prénom flotte dans l’air frais.

I’m here, still not sleeping,
Je suis là, sans dormir encore,

But my heart is already quietly following you.
mais mon cœur te suit déjà, discret.

[Chorus]

If you’re sleeping, I won’t wake you,
Si tu dors, je ne te réveille pas,

I kiss you softly in your dream.
je t’embrasse doucement dans ton rêve.

I stay outside, under the pulsing moon,
Je reste dehors, sous la lune qui bat,

At the window where your soul rises.
à la fenêtre où ton âme s’élève.

[Verse 2]

I’m tired, but I hold back sleep,
Je suis fatigué, mais je repousse le sommeil,

Because my heart stays here, without rest.
car mon cœur reste là, sans appareil.

I’d like to enter your dream without a sound,
Je voudrais entrer dans ton rêve sans bruit,

To kiss you without waking you — just for tonight.
t’embrasser sans t’éveiller, juste cette nuit.

[Chorus]

If you’re sleeping, I won’t wake you,
Si tu dors, je ne te réveille pas,

I kiss you softly in your dream.
je t’embrasse doucement dans ton rêve.

I stay outside, under the pulsing moon,
Je reste dehors, sous la lune qui bat,

At the window where your soul rises.
à la fenêtre où ton âme s’élève.

[Verse 3]

All day I listened to the song,
Toute la journée, j’ai écouté la chanson,

The one I wrote just for you.
celle que j’ai écrite rien que pour toi.

But you fell, and I lost the moment,
Mais tu es tombée, et j’ai perdu l’attention,

And I stayed here, without your voice.
et moi, je suis resté là, sans ta voix.

[Bridge]

I’m not asking for anything — I just stay here,
Je ne demande rien, je reste là,

Between the breath and what can’t be seen.
entre le souffle et ce qu’on ne voit pas.

If you forget me, I won’t blame you,
Si tu m’oublies, je ne t’en veux pas,

I was just here, when it got cold.
j’étais juste là, quand il faisait froid.

[Final Chorus]

If you’re sleeping, I won’t wake you,
Si tu dors, je ne te réveille pas,

I kiss you softly in your dream.
je t’embrasse doucement dans ton rêve.

I stay outside, under the pulsing moon,
Je reste dehors, sous la lune qui bat,

At the window where your soul rises.
à la fenêtre où ton âme s’élève.

[Outro]

Good night, my silent love,
Bonne nuit, mon amour silencieux,

I close my eyes… without closing the sky.
je ferme les yeux… sans fermer les cieux.



À travers la fenêtre

[Intro]
I could have stayed silent
J’aurais pu me taire

I could have waited
J’aurais pu attendre

I could have thought it wasn’t the right time
J’aurais pu penser que ce n’était pas le moment

But my heart no longer knew how to hold it one more day
Mais mon cœur ne savait plus comment le garder un jour de plus

[Chorus]
I didn’t wait
Je n’ai pas attendu

I didn’t wait
Je n’ai pas attendu

I didn’t stay silent
Je n’ai pas gardé le silence

I didn’t lie
Je n’ai pas menti

I loved
J’ai aimé

I loved
J’ai aimé

And that’s all that remains
Et c’est tout ce qui reste

All that remains
Tout ce qui reste

All that remains
Tout ce qui reste

[Verse 1]
I didn’t write for you
Je n’ai pas écrit pour toi

I wrote because it burned
J’ai écrit car ça brûlait

Not writing was a lie
Ne pas écrire était un mensonge

So I let it fall
Alors je l’ai laissé tomber

like a blade
comme une lame

like a blade
comme une lame

like a blade
comme une lame

[Chorus]
I didn’t wait
Je n’ai pas attendu

I didn’t stay silent
Je n’ai pas gardé le silence

I loved
J’ai aimé

And that’s all that remains
Et c’est tout ce qui reste

And that’s all that remains
Et c’est tout ce qui reste

And that’s all that remains
Et c’est tout ce qui reste

[Bridge]
If you don’t understand
Si tu ne comprends pas

so be it
tant pis

I’m not looking for
Je ne cherche pas

pity
la pitié

I just wanted
Je voulais juste

to be real
être vrai

My heart no longer expected anything
Mon cœur n’attendait plus rien

[Outro]
I didn’t wait
Je n’ai pas attendu

I didn’t wait
Je n’ai pas attendu

I loved
J’ai aimé

And that’s all that remains
Et c’est tout ce qui reste

All that remains
Tout ce qui reste

All that remains...
Tout ce qui reste...

Je n’ai pas attendu

Je ne sais pas
(I Don’t Know)
French lyrics with English translation above each line

I don’t know what love is
Je ne sais pas ce que c’est, l’amour
But I feel it every night
Mais je la ressens chaque nuit
Without understanding why it stays
Sans comprendre pourquoi elle reste
Without knowing when it will leave
Sans savoir quand elle partira

I don’t know
Je ne sais pas
I don’t understand
Je ne comprends pas
But I love
Mais j’aime
Without reason
Sans raison
I stay
Je reste
Just to feel
Juste pour ressentir

It burns even without fire
Elle brûle même sans feu
It hurts even when I’m silent
Elle fait mal même quand je me tais
I’m not asking you to understand
Je ne demande pas que tu comprennes
I just can’t forget
Je n’arrive juste pas à oublier

I don’t know
Je ne sais pas
I don’t understand
Je ne comprends pas
But I love
Mais j’aime
Without reason
Sans raison
I stay
Je reste
Just to feel
Juste pour ressentir

If it’s a mistake
Si c’est une erreur
Then why does it burn inside me?
Pourquoi est-ce que ça brûle en moi ?
If this isn’t love
Si ce n’est pas l’amour
Then what is it?
Alors, qu’est-ce que c’est ?

I don’t know...
Je ne sais pas...
But I’m here.
Mais je suis là.

Je ne sais pas

SUNSHINE AND WINE
V1
Just when it feels I’m turnin’ a corner
Feeling good about getting ahead
Car breaks down, another unexpected bill
And my rainy-day stash is in the red

V2
Now, my workday’s done, walkin’ my dog
Thank goodness I’m a flat-out fighter
‘Cuz there’s a crick in my neck and a knife in my knee
And I recall when days were brighter:

[Chorus 1]
Sunshine, sweet sunshine and wine
Slow dancing on cloud-nine
There was no hilltop we couldn’t climb
Sunshine, sweet sunshine and wine

V3 
Oh, ‘cuz what’s a dream without someone
Someone cheering you on
Now, I’m hold up in Nashville, no way to get back
A sad sack ‘a songs, ‘cuz it was

V4
You and me, Scarborough Beach
All those lazy summer Saturdays
And I’m wishin’ the day would never end
Oh, and I’m wishin’ I’d never walked away

[Chorus 1]
Sunshine, sweet sunshine and wine
We were slow dancing on cloud-nine
There was no hilltop we couldn’t climb 
Sunshine, sweet sunshine and wine

[Chorus 2]
Sunshine, sweet sunshine and wine
We were slow dancing on cloud-nine
Now, I’m wishin’ we could go back in time
To sunshine, sweet sunshine and wine

Ooooh-oooh, Ooooh-oooh

Sunshine, sweet sunshine and wine
We were slow dancing on cloud-nine
Yeah, I’m wishin’ we could go back in time
To sunshine, sweet sunshine and wine

Sunshine and Wine

"Broken Wings" is a heartfelt synthpop song about love lost, emotional solitude, and the strength to rise again. Through vivid imagery of flight and silence, it tells the story of a soul searching for meaning after heartbreak, guided by inner resilience and the quiet hope of freedom.

Broken Wings

“Still in Love” is the kind of song you play when you know he’s lying… but your heart just can’t let go.

This hauntingly emotional R&B ballad captures the slow death of a one-sided love filled with lipstick stains, late-night excuses, ignored calls, and the painful truth you already knew deep down. It tells the story of a woman unraveling in silence, watching the man she gave everything to slowly disappear behind a mask of lies.

Her voice is soft, sultry, and aching not screaming, just breaking. From the quiet tears to the unanswered video calls, every lyric pulls you deeper into her heartbreak. She cooks his favorite meal, waits by the door, stares out the window at midnight… still hoping. Still hurting. Still in love.

Because the worst part isn’t that he left, it’s that even after all the betrayal, she still loves him.

Wrapped in emotional honesty and cinematic elegance, Still in Love is a heartbreak anthem for anyone who stayed too long, loved too deeply, and knew the truth… but loved anyway.

Still in Love

New Album “The Tales Of Morpheus" is out now:

https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/thenewcitizenkane/the-tales-of-morpheus

The New Citizen Kane is the new dance music project from Kane Luke. He moved to London in 2009 after leaving Milan's Fuorifase Records with the intention of starting a creative project that would encompass music, fashion and visual arts. Although the main driving force of the project, having conceptualised the idea and written a bulk of the material himself, it is through collaborating with writers, designers, directors and photographers from around the world that he breaths continuously fresh life into the project, merging his ideas with the creative input of his collaborators.
Kane’s career in the entertainment business began aged 17 performing on the Dublin theatre circuit, at 18 he recorded his first EP “Now Or Never” with Active Music in London, and by 20 he was travelling between LA, New York & Milan working as a model & actor. A chance meeting in 2006 with Fuorifase label head Anthony Ricotta @ Milan’s infamous Killer Plastic nightclub would lead to him working as in-house writer for the indie dance label for the next 2 years, until a vocal demo he was preparing for a club track he wrote ended up being used as the final cut. “Don’t Feel No Shame” by DJ Aron VS The Sample Guys ft Kane Luke was an international club hit in 2008, and a favorite by DJs such as Mark Knight, Pete Tong, Dirty South & The Workidz, and featured on Toolroom Knights Compilation after reaching no.6 on the beatport download chart that summer. 2 more collaborations “Nothing/Lump In Your Throat” with Barrique, and “Mind Trip” with Mowree were also released that year, before his solo single “Spun Like Sugar” from the “DiscoKane” EP. The Ara & Becka Vocal of “Spun Like Sugar” was another club hit in Italy & Spain, and he spent the summer touring, with a pit stop at Barcelona's Sonar Music Festival were he pressed the promo-only “Electric Nights” exclusively for the event.
But in a changing market Fuorifase Records was struggling, so Kane decided to take the opportunity to move to London. A new town, new influences, a New Citizen Kane. 
The album "It's Not Science... It's A Feeling" is set for release in summer 2014. First single "White Night", which dropped on November 25th, already causing a stir, it amassed 180,000 views in its first week on YouTube after a string of successful live appearances including sets at Secret Garden Party & Summer Rites festivals in the UK. "You'll Forgive Me" is the next release from the album, available exclusively on Beatport from January 31st with a full club remix package, before official second single "Hearts Aren't Made Of Wood", hypnotic electro-pop single with swirling synths and big hooks, released in spring. Lead single "Remedy", released in July features hot remixes from Rob Made, Super Stylers and Sebastiàn Parbo. 2014 looks set to be a big year for TNCK.
