“Banana Shoes” blends electropop and breakbeat with a surreal twist. LeKKee deliver sharp vocals over glitchy rhythms in a track that plays with pop tropes and digital absurdity.

Banana Shoes

She Blooms Anyway is the debut EP by NIVIRA, a singer-songwriter crafting soft, soulful pop for the quietly resilient. Across three deeply personal tracks, this project traces a journey of choosing optimism, reclaiming self-worth, and finding comfort in your own voice.

Each song is symbolized by a flower—sunflower, rose, and baby’s breath—capturing the delicate balance of strength and softness that defines Nivira’s sound. From the playful defiance of PositiviTEA, to the poetic rebellion of Prejudice & Pride, and the gentle assurance of Be Okay, this EP invites listeners to bloom through what they go through.

With acoustic textures, cinematic touches, and poetic lyrics, She Blooms Anyway is more than music—it’s a healing space wrapped in whimsical melody. Created for anyone navigating growth, grief, or self-doubt, these songs are quiet reminders that even in the shadows, we still bloom.

Shake It, Drifty Fog! _ ¡Sacúdelo, Nube Loca!

Your quantum pop pals, The $cience, are back with a bangin' new tune called Level Up!
Get some electronic techno pop goodness into your ears, circuits and brain. #quantumpop

Lyrics:

You wanna crash and burn
Like a wolf you huff and puff
So off the cuff

Saying it’s your turn
You’ve waited long enough
Had it so tough

Better level up on your game
You’ve got a lion to tame
Switch up a gear in your brain
And master the meaning

Lean in closer ‘cause I got a little, little secret

To free the, to free the ecstasy
You need the, you need the empathy
Give it all you got to me
Set your emotions free
To free the, to free the ecstasy

It’s not about how much 
you can just take away
I gotta say

It’s more about a touch
That lingers in infamy
So gently

Gotta place yourself inside
With your heart and your mind
See through your lover’s eyes
And feel with their body

Lean in closer ‘cause I got a little, little secret
It’s so much better when I know that you truly, you’re meaning it

To free the, to free the ecstasy
You need the, you need the empathy
Give it all you got to me
Set your emotions free
To free the, to free the ecstasy

Set your emotions free

The $cience - Level Up!

Some days hit you with “main character energy,” and some days hit you with “forgot why I walked into the cereal aisle.” This one is for anyone who keeps trying anyway. The spine pops, the brain clocks out, the shadow shows up late, the universe giggles a little too loud. But you still drag yourself through the day like it counts. If effort had a loyalty program, we’d all level up.

I woke up feeling ambitious
stood in the cereal aisle
forgot why I existed for a full minute

my spine made a noise I should not ignore
coffee hit
my brain tried to clock out early
tripped over air
told the floor “same”
and honestly
it kind of was

everyone else looks like they came pre-installed with stability
I get winded by thoughts

I swear I’m trying
stop laughing
this is me giving effort
I’m fine-ish
fine-adjacent
fine if the lighting is bad
I swear I’m trying
stop laughing

cleaned one corner of the counter
the rest stared back like I started something
opened my planner
closed it instantly
not today
my reflection sighed at me
again
told myself new me tomorrow
tomorrow blocked me

gravity picks favorites
I can tell
I walk like I owe it money
carrying ten invisible bags
all labeled why though

I swear I’m trying
stop laughing
this is me doing my best impression
of someone okay
I’m stable-ish
if you tilt your head
I swear I’m trying
stop laughing

looked at a banana wrong
it bruised itself
plants judge me
toaster sparks like it knows my secrets
my socks are always planning something
my shadow showed up late
did not explain
honestly
I respect that

I swear I’m trying
stop laughing
trying-ish
here-ish
I swear I’m trying
stop laughing

if existing counts
round it up

I'M TRYING, STOP LAUGHING

A little song for anyone who’s ever tried to play it cool and immediately folded.
King of good intentions, mayor of small disasters, chairman of honesty with the worst poker face on record.

Lyrics & rhymes by Saturday Ghosts (Mike Stone).

Verse 1

I keep a list of promises
Pinned beneath old unpaid bills,
Dates I meant to circle back to
But doubt I ever will.
I keep a stash of stories
I swear I’ll finish one day
But the moment I start talking
They scatter and run away.

Chorus

Crown me king of good intentions,
Ordain me priest of alibis.
Elect me mayor of small disasters
Where nothing stays disguised.

But my truths slip out uninvited,
Announcing their surprise 
I’m the chairman of honesty
Of all my worst kept lies.

Verse 2

I’ve got a jar of half-truths
Beside the kitchen sink,
A few look almost polished
If you squint and never blink.
I burnish up my explanations
Between the fridge and hallway light
But you raise one tiny question
And they surrender out of sight.

Pre-Chorus

And every neat excuse I try
Unravels in your light 

Chorus

Crown me king of good intentions,
Ordain me priest of alibis.
Elect me mayor of small disasters
Where nothing stays disguised.

But my truths slip out uninvited,
Announcing their surprise 
I’m the chairman of honesty
Of all my worst kept lies.

Bridge

I’ve rehearsed my careful answers,
I’ve drafted airtight replies 
Then you ask a simple question,
And all my brave façades
Wave goodbye.

Final Chorus

Crown me king of good intentions,
Ordain me priest of alibis.
Elect me mayor of small disasters
Where nothing stays disguised.

But my truths slip out uninvited,
Announcing their surprise 
I’m the chairman of honesty
Of all my worst kept lies.

All my worst kept lies…
All my worst kept lies…

All My Worst Kept Lies

An Invitation

I don’t write to lead a chorus. I write to leave a light.
These songs are only footnotes — echoes reminding us that struggle and hope never vanish, they only wait for new voices to rise.

Everyone has a voice. Yours is no lesser, no greater than another. Each carries its own truth, and each truth belongs in the song.

Whatever your path — through faith or doubt, joy or grief, belonging or difference — your story matters. Your words can name the weight you carry, or sketch the world you still believe is possible.

So write. Whisper or roar, it makes no difference. A single verse, honest and clear, can carry further than you expect.

Together, these voices weave the chorus. Not owned by one, not silenced by power, but held in common. If my words spark even one more verse, then the song is larger than me — and the story continues.

1. The Core Philosophy: "Serve First, Lead Second"
The central tenet of servant leadership, as coined by Robert K. Greenleaf, is that a leader's primary motivation is a genuine desire to serve others. This is a direct contrast to traditional leadership models where the leader's goal is to amass power, control, or personal gain.


Humility in Action: A humble person naturally puts the needs of others before their own. For a servant leader, this isn't just a tactic; it's an internal compass. They don't see themselves as being "above" the people they lead. Instead, they see their role as a steward of the organization, responsible for helping others thrive.


2. The Inverted Hierarchy
Traditional leadership operates on a pyramid structure, with the leader at the top and everyone else below. Servant leadership inverts this pyramid. The leader is at the bottom, supporting the team and lifting them up.


Humility in Action: This visual metaphor perfectly represents humility. A humble leader doesn't need to be on top to feel powerful. Their influence comes from empowering others. They are secure enough in their own abilities that they don't feel threatened by the success or growth of their team members. In fact, they celebrate it.

3. The Shift from Positional Authority to Moral Authority
A traditional leader commands through their title or position. A servant leader, on the other hand, leads through persuasion, trust, and the respect they earn from their team.

Humility in Action: Instead of saying, "Do this because I'm the boss," a servant leader says, "This is what we need to accomplish. How can I help you do your best work?" They listen more than they speak, and they value the team's ideas and input more than their own. This requires a profound level of humility—the recognition that the best ideas can come from anywhere, not just from the person at the top.

4. Key Traits of a Servant Leader that are Rooted in Humility


Many of the most commonly cited characteristics of servant leaders are direct expressions of humility:

Listening: A humble leader knows they don't have all the answers and is genuinely interested in hearing the perspectives of others.

Empathy: The ability to understand and share the feelings of another person is an act of putting yourself aside to connect with someone else's experience.

Stewardship: This is the mindset that you are entrusted with the well-being of the organization and its people, rather than owning them.

Commitment to the Growth of People: Humble leaders see the intrinsic value in every individual and are invested in their personal and professional development, even if it means they eventually surpass the leader.

In essence, humility is the internal attitude that makes servant leadership possible. Without humility, a leader who tries to "serve" might just be using it as a manipulative tactic to gain control or popularity. True servant leadership comes from an authentic, humble desire to put the needs of others first. It is, as the saying goes, "thinking of yourself less, not thinking less of yourself."
