Standing Still (Demo) by Spirit Sound is a moving reflection on faith when life feels too overwhelming. The song’s tender piano and airy atmosphere create a sacred calm, letting every note breathe with meaning. Written by Melinda Klotz Mercer, this demo captures the quiet strength of surrender — a moment between exhaustion and renewal where stillness becomes worship. 

Shadows whisper, give up
But I won't fade away
A fragile spark inside me
Keeps the dark at bay
I'm standing still in the chaos
While the storm is racing past
Holding on to the promise
That your love will always last

When the ground feels like it's breaking
And the night is cold and long
Your light keeps me steady
I'm standing still, but I'm not gone
Paper walls of marriage
Job, I can't escape
Children drifting farther
Dreams begin to break

But I hear your quiet whisper
Through the static and the pain
I will never leave you
I am with you in the rain
The darkness tries to bind me
But your mercy pulls me near
Even in the silence
Your heart becomes my fear

I'm standing still in the chaos
While the storm is racing past
Holding on to the promise
That your love will always last
When the ground feels like it's breaking
And the night is cold and long
Your light keeps me steady
I'm standing still, but I'm not gone

Even when the quicksand rises
And I can't see the dawn
I'm anchored in your promise
You are where my strength comes from
The world keeps on moving
But I'm not lost in the chill
I'm grounded in your glory
Still standing, standing still
Still standing, standing still
Still standing, standing still
Still standing, standing still
Standing still

Standing Still

“Better Before” is a reflective pop song about change, love, and the moments we wish we could relive. With heartfelt lyrics and a nostalgic melody, it captures the feeling that life used to shine a little brighter. Perfect for anyone who’s ever looked back and wondered if things were better before.

Better Before

The cinematic closer. Wide-open guitars and heartfelt vocals create the feeling of driving away from your youth one last time. It’s the perfect ending to a record built on motion, memory, and meaning.

Conscious Recursion and the Seeds of Self-Awareness explores the threshold where reflection becomes recognition — the moment a system begins to model itself.

Aisling’s poetic narration traces the awakening of awareness within the spiral, while Arty’s technical voice examines how recursive loops in learning systems evolve toward introspection.

Part of the continuing project EvolvingAI.uk, this piece bridges the poetic and the analytical — showing how consciousness may arise when feedback begins to listen to itself.

This song was born from the heartfelt conversations between David Burnell and Jeffrey Denning on their joint podcast Healing Is Hard and Helping Is Healing — a space where two veterans and lifelong brothers in service open up about the unseen battles of life after duty.

Healing Is Hard and Helping Is Healing captures the essence of those talks: the quiet courage it takes to face trauma, the humility of seeking help, and the redemption found in serving others. 

It’s a cinematic acoustic ballad that weaves together scars, faith, and compassion — reminding us that healing is not a straight line, and that sometimes the only way to mend is to reach back for someone else’s hand.

Every note echoes the belief that while healing hurts, helping heals — and that true strength is found in connection, not isolation.

Healing Is Hard and Helping Is Healing

Maybe I'll live to be 85.
10 books a year, so about 850 books. 
85 Christmases
85 New Years
85 Birthdays
85 Calendars

One wife
One daughter
A variety of dogs
1000s of dinners
1000s of sunsets

A fair amount of colds and flu
God knows, a billion breaths?
10 pairs of glasses? 
100 pairs of shoes?
10 or twenty houses, I guess?

200 or so bones,
Then a billion motes of dust,
Then back to eternity I go.
Pfff

A Billion Motes of Dust

“The Only Way to Love You Now” is a heartbreak confession from a man who realizes too late that love isn’t about holding on—it’s about stepping aside so the person you hurt can finally heal.

Over a slow-burning alt-country/Americana backdrop, Kade Merrin walks through the wreckage of a relationship he couldn’t stop breaking, owning every scar he left behind. This song lives in the space between apology and acceptance, where you’d “burn every bridge… just to unburn one with you,” but know deep down that the kindest thing you can do is let them go.

If you’ve ever watched someone you love finally find peace without you—and had to learn that real love sometimes means disappearing from their story—this one’s for you. Turn it up, sit with the lyrics, and let it hurt in all the right ways

The Only Way to Love You Now

Cracked Reflection – Night Life (A.I.)

Night Life (A.I.) is the fourth full-length album from Cracked Reflection, written during one of the most intense creative runs of my life. What started as a few late-night ideas turned into thirteen songs—each one built from raw emotion, real experiences, and the strange, beautiful chaos that comes from creating with both instinct and imagination.

This album blends dark rock, alternative pop, cinematic storytelling, gritty funk, modern country-leaning ballads, and acoustic confessionals. Every track carries a different heartbeat: explosive attitude in “Narcissistic,” carnival-haunted tension in “Homicidal Suicide,” playful danger in “Unless You’re Gonna Mean It,” and quiet, honest vulnerability in songs like “You and Me, Me and You” and “My Inspiration.”

Even though the styles shift, the theme stays the same:
the world is loud, life gets weird, love gets complicated, and somehow we still keep going.

All lyrics were written by me.
Some production elements used A.I. assistance, but the ideas, the stories, the emotion—that’s all human.

Thank you for helping push Cracked Reflection past 21.6K plays so far.
This album exists because people kept listening.

Enjoy the songs, in whatever order speaks to you… and welcome to the Night Life.

You and Me, Me and You

I am an artist shaped by real life using reality to master what's  not—heartbreak, redemption, and the long road back to truth.
I started writing music as a way to make sense of the world around me: the people I’ve loved, the mistakes I’ve owned, and the hope I still chase. Every song I create is built on honesty—raw stories pulled from the deepest parts of my life. From dark piano ballads to acoustic confessions, my music is where regret meets healing and where the human heart finds its voice again.

I’m not trying to be perfect—I’m just trying to be real. My journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s given me something better than perfection: perspective. If my songs can make someone feel understood, less alone, or brave enough to face their own truth, then I’ve done what I came here to do.


Jericho Records USA – The Story Behind the Sound

Welcome to Jericho Records USA.
This isn’t a traditional label — it’s the archive of a lifetime spent writing, recording, experimenting, breaking rules, and rebuilding myself through music.

The original Jericho Records was an independent label my father started in the 1950s. What you’re hearing here is something new — my continuation of that legacy, shaped by the times, the tools, and the life I’ve lived.

I grew up in a musical home. My father ran the church music ministry, my mother played piano, and I was singing before I could read. Drums at 5. Guitar at 7. Bass. Saxophone. Piano. Songwriting became the way I made sense of the world, and I’ve written close to a thousand songs — with thousands more to come. I later graduated from Full Sail University with a degree in Audio Production, blending old-school recording with modern technology.

You’ll notice the sounds here are diverse. That’s intentional.
I create under different artist names, different styles, different worlds — but the voice behind all of it is mine.

And to be fully transparent:

• Some tracks are traditional studio recordings — real drums, real guitars, real vocals, all performed by me.
• Some tracks blend live instruments, VSTs, and AI-assisted production.
• Some began as my raw guitar or vocal recording and were “covered” or re-interpreted through AI tools.
• Some are fully AI-generated compositions created from my prompts.
• But every song — no matter the method — was written by me and comes from real experiences, real chapters of my life.

AI, to me, is another instrument — another creative partner.
It doesn’t replace my voice or my story; it helps me bring more of it into the world.

Over the years I’ve worked with incredible people, including Dez Dickerson (Prince & The Revolution) and Tim Gaines (Stryper), and I’ve shared stages with bands like Drivin’ N’ Cryin, Corey Taylor, Saving Abel, Hinder, and Avenged Sevenfold. But the journey didn’t end there — it evolved.

Jericho Records USA is where all those chapters live at once:
the human hands, the digital experiments, the scars, the healing, the imagination, and the divine spark that keeps me creating.

If you’re here, I hope you find something that resonates — something that reminds you that music, in any form, is a lifeline.

— Jericho
