to get by

Made this back in 2011 with the idea of blending a smooth, catchy rap/club track with the bass and drums alongside a somber, melancholy tone.

Out Of Time (2011) [Unmixed/Unfinished]

Smoke

A raw, emotional track that blends heartfelt vocals with deep, atmospheric sounds.
“The Image” speaks of inner struggles and silent hopes, carried by haunting melodies and a hypnotic rhythm.
A song for those moments when words aren’t enough.

The Image

This is a secret release between u and me without any social media promo at all. Figured I make a piano freestyle ver of dancing for the coming dawn since I don’t rly feel like finishing up the original ver up on my daw jus yet. ik I have been teasing it as a clip for a long while now and ik I want to finish it at sum point but couldn’t find the right time/motivation through my busy life. So hopefully that would make up the time being bout 8 min in runtime of just raw piano on my daw piano roll and faint whitenoise… for it’s by far my most personal yet my BEST songwriting song to date yet. 

also consider this as "patience2" since this will be my last nostalgica track for this year and hopefully release one or few tracks as Mr.Quang before the year ends. If u are reading this and have listened the whole way, then u are a real one 🗣️

dancing for the coming dawn (piano freestyle ver.)

Remember when one voice could unite the country every night?
"King of Yesterday's Night" is a tribute to that bygone era. It's a nostalgic look at the golden age of late-night television, personified by the one and only king, Johnny Carson. It's a story about legends—on the field like Koufax and Manning, and behind the desk like Carson, Burns, and Brooks—and what it feels like when their signal fades to static.
This is a heartfelt slice of Americana and Folk Rock, built around a clean, melodic electric guitar, a storyteller's vocal, and a timeless arrangement.
Released July 21, 2025.

LYRICS
(Verse 1) The signal fades to static where the picture used to gleam There's a Hall of Fame for moments that live on inside a dream Koufax on the mound, with a curve that broke so late Eli Manning in the pocket, sealing Brady's fate. Some guys own the diamond, some the forty-yard line But one man owned the airwaves, from nine to ten-oh-nine.
(Chorus) Oh, Johnny was the king on that late-night throne He held his court from Burbank and he ruled it all alone And though pretenders try to play the part, it's clear to see They can't capture the heart of yesterday's TV.
(Verse 2) They trade in burning takes now for a quick and cheap applause While Johnny made a space for the true comedic cause He'd light George Burns' cigar and let the stories rise Catch the wicked glint in Buddy Hackett's eyes He'd give Mel Brooks the runway with no need to rush the bit A king who knew the legends he was honored to sit with.
(Chorus) Oh, Johnny was the king on that late-night throne He held his court from Burbank and he ruled it all alone And though pretenders try to play the part, it's clear to see They can't capture the heart of yesterday's TV.
(Bridge) The kingdom's getting smaller, the channels start to fray A million fractured screens at the closing of the day And in this noisy world where everyone must shout Who's there to lean in closer, and help you figure out?
(Outro) From the monologue sunset to the stardust curtain call The band plays him off now, down that legendary hall No hot takes, no agendas, no fight he had to pick Just a perfect set-up... and a pencil's gentle flick. Yeah, a perfect set-up…


King of Yesterday's Night

Wrote, recorded, and produced “Worst Enemy” in my bedroom over two days. Started with a beat, then built the lyrics and layered in soft guitars for the chorus. It’s a mix of mellow melancholy and pop textures, all wrapped in a DIY mindset
