"Runaway Train" is a soulful modern country ballad that captures the exhilarating rush of unexpected connection against the backdrop of rain-soaked nights and railway journeys. The track's emotional core is carried by rich, resonant male vocals that invite listeners into an intimate narrative of chance encounters and unstoppable connections - much like the unstoppable momentum of a runaway train.

Set against a minimalist arrangement featuring delicate acoustic guitar picking and the haunting cry of steel guitar, the song creates a sonic landscape that mirrors its lyrical imagery. The instrumentation serves primarily as a canvas for the vocal performance, with mournful steel guitar slides echoing the sound of a train gathering speed and rain streaming across windows.

The production maintains a warm, authentic feel with subtle bass notes anchoring the melody while never overshadowing the vocal storytelling. Each verse builds with restrained intensity, culminating in a chorus that feels both cathartic and hopeful, like breaking through storm clouds into unexpected light.

"Runaway Train" draws inspiration from the narrative tradition of country music while incorporating contemporary production sensibilities. The song's emotional honesty and vivid imagery evoke comparisons to the storytelling of Chris Stapleton, while its romantic themes and atmospheric quality recall the more introspective work of Tyler Childers.

At its heart, "Runaway Train" is a tender celebration of connection that captures the exhilarating feeling of letting go and surrendering to passion—a musical invitation to dance in the rain and find beauty in life's unplanned moments. The song reminds us that sometimes the most meaningful journeys begin when we step off our planned routes and follow the pull of the heart, allowing ourselves to be carried forward like a runaway train into the unknown, even if it leads us straight into a storm.

Echoes on the Wind - Birth Phase of Eternal Echoes

Falling rain 
Running down the morning 
Waterproof 
No sadness today 

Dry your eyes 
And see us through tomorrow 
If you ever look back 
Don’t ever look away 

Falling rain
Filling up your garden
Waterproof
Running down your rain coat

See the lights
The city is on fire
Don’t you worry
The rain is coming in

Falling stars
On an autumn moon
Morning sun 
Shining on your hair

Falling rain 
Yeah, yeah 
Waterproof 
Falling rain 
Waterproof
Yeah, yeah
Falling rain
Waterproof
Falling rain

What an amazing experience playing at Apero once again! 
This time, together with a lineup of truly incredible DJs, we created an unforgettable vibe. The atmosphere was simply magical — a perfect blend of connection, music, and energy.

For this special set, I dived deep into my roots, resonating with the spirit of Origins, blending melodic sounds, house grooves, and afro rhythms into a heartfelt journey.
This was my second time at the Origins party concept— the first was a spontaneous, last-minute set, but this time it felt even more intentional, powerful, and full of love.

Relive the moment with me — press play and let the music take you back to those golden hours. 

Thank you to everyone who danced, smiled, and made this night unforgettable. See you at the next one!

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I felt the cold wind rising,
Sharp words and empty eyes.
I turned away from kindness,
Built walls to hide the lies.

But even stone will whisper,
When the frozen starts to thaw.
Cruelty and silence faded,
Pointed back to love’s true law.

[Chorus]
Four doors of the heart, waiting to be known,
Compassion and kindness, joy softly shown.
When shadows crumble and bitterness parts,
Step through the silence — open your heart.

[Verse 2]
I envied all their laughter,
Judged faces passing by.
Misery and anger whispered,
Told me love was just a lie.

But sorrow asked the question,
That broke me from the spell.
“What beauty are you missing?
What story could you tell?”

[Chorus]
Four doors of the heart, waiting to be known,
Compassion and kindness, joy softly shown.
When shadows crumble and bitterness parts,
Step through the silence — open your heart.

[Bridge]
No soul too lost, no night too deep,
Even the fiercest anger weeps.
When eyes look up and tears depart,
The gentle light will fill your heart.

[Final Chorus]
Four doors of the heart, wide open tonight,
Mercy and wonder, clear-seeing light.
The world will bloom as we take part,
In love that sings in every heart.

Four Doors of the Heart

A rollickin’ roast of life’s backhanded blessings, this toe-tappin’ ballad serves up a buffet of irony with doubting Mama, smoke-blowin’ Papa, and dreams that limp along like a three-legged dog.

Blame Game

"Dust and Gold" is a modern-day lament drenched in ancient truth, a cry from the trenches of poverty, pain, and prophetic fire. It holds the weight of injustice and the dignity of the broken, contrasting the riches of the powerful with the divine worth of the forgotten. Through solemn verses and haunting refrains, this song speaks for those labeled waste by the world, but crowned worthy by Heaven. It’s not just music, it’s a warning, a prayer, and a spark in the dark. This is what it sounds like when the Saints sing from the battlefield.

Dust and Gold

Ein Song über Rastlosigkeit, Getriebenheit und die Suche nach Sinn. Wechselspiel aus männlicher Nachdenklichkeit und weiblicher Direktheit, getragen von progressivem Rocksound.

Xak Stahl: Alchemist of Sound, Architect of Emotion

Xak Stahl is a genre-blurring music artist, sonic storyteller, and relentless experimenter. Every track he creates is a new world—a kaleidoscope of indie folk, alt-pop, electronica, and global flavors—infused with raw emotion and boundless curiosity. Xak’s music isn’t just heard; it’s felt.

From Shadow to Spotlight

For Xak, music is metamorphosis. His journey began in the shadows, transmuting heartbreak and struggle into songs that glow with hope. Early anthems like “Neon Dreams” and “Rising Through the Darkness” invite listeners to find their own light. His newest project, Major Arcana, channels the mysteries of the Tarot—each song an archetype, each lyric a step along the path from the Fool’s first leap to the wisdom of The World.

More Than Music: A Multisensory Universe

But Xak isn’t confined to sound. As a visual artist and writer, he crafts immersive stories that spill across genres and languages—sometimes haunting, sometimes playful, always honest. Whether he’s conjuring lush soundscapes, weaving bilingual lyrics, or creating striking visuals, Xak’s art dares you to feel deeper and dream wilder.

An Invitation to Transformation

Join Xak Stahl on a sonic odyssey that blurs borders—between genres, between artforms, between you and the music. Each release is an invitation to explore, to heal, to become. For Xak, every song is a spell, every album a universe. The only question is: are you ready to step inside?

Till ist ein Künstler, der seine Geschichten nicht erzählt, sondern lebt. Seine Stimme – tief, rau, gebrochen – trägt die Spuren von Erfahrungen, die ihn geformt haben. In seinen Songs geht es um mehr als Musik: Es geht um das Unausgesprochene, um Schmerz, um Hoffnung und um die stille Kraft, die entsteht, wenn man lernt, mit sich selbst Frieden zu schließen.

Till singt über Depression, Heilung und den langen Weg dazwischen. Seine Texte sind klar und ungeschönt, voller kleiner Wahrheiten, die berühren, weil sie echt sind. Er braucht keine großen Worte, keine Effekte – nur eine Stimme, die atmet, lebt und jede Nuance spürbar macht.

In einer Welt, die oft von Perfektion und Lautstärke bestimmt wird, steht Till für das Gegenteil: für Echtheit, für Fehler, für den Mut, leise stark zu sein. Seine Musik ist ein Rückzugsort für alle, die wissen, dass Verletzlichkeit keine Schwäche ist, sondern Tiefe schafft.

Music lover & singer-songwriter. Many thanks for taking the time to listen.

Having spent several years immersed in the nightlife scene as a photographer, surrounded by music, events, and DJs, it was only natural for him to develop a deep curiosity for DJing. His passion for music evolved into a desire to take people on a musical journey, introducing them to his culture and heritage while also showcasing tracks from producers he admires.

The lockdown period provided the perfect opportunity for him to work on his skills. With the mentorship of numerous DJ friends, he used the time to practice and refine his craft. Two years later, he made his DJ debut at The Dansant (BE), where his photography career began. From there, gigs started to flow in, both in Belgium and abroad.

One of the highlights of his journey was mixing alongside his sidekick and “wifey” at the Grainfestival in Croatia, held at Peti Kupe. This unforgettable night left a lasting impression. His unique style soon led to opportunities to play at some of the most notable events, including Darklands, the largest fetish festival in Antwerp, and Cave in Brussels. In his hometown of Leuven, he also performed for T.A.N.Z.E.N. and eventually returned to where it all began, DJing once again for The Dansant.

His sets are a captivating blend of melodic, deep, tech, and organic house infused with chill beats. Each performance is like stepping into a special place where every note tells a story, every beat syncs with your heartbeat, and every drop amplifies the experience.
