Calling you Home

We don’t owe each other fancy lines
Just one step closer, over time
What’s behind us made us real
But what’s ahead is ours to feel

We’ve both changed, but that’s allowed
No need to fix what time’s worn down
That’s ok, that’s ok

I’m calling you home
I’m calling you home
There’s still a place for you right here

There’s a photo face-down on the shelf
Some days I talk to it, just to check myself

We’ve both changed, but that’s allowed
No need to fix what time’s worn down
That’s ok, that’s ok

I’m calling you home
I’m calling you home
There’s still a place for you right here


Calling You Home (feat. Jolie)

two tone

Sidetracked

An emotional exploration of distance, longing, and the hope that never fades.

This song weaves melodies with a driving rhythm and raw vulnerability — a voice searching through the static, calling out to someone who feels just out of reach. From the opening line “Twisting in my fate, waded in knee deep” to the echoing refrain “I know you’re out there,” it’s a sonic journey through sleepless nights, lost time, and the desperate pull of unfinished connection.

Layered with moody synths, a melodic guitar melody, shifting chord patterns, and a mix of restrained and soaring vocals, “You’re Out There” moves between quiet introspection and emotional outbursts — each chorus hitting like a flare in the dark.

If you’ve ever held onto someone in silence, unsure if they’re still listening — this one’s for you.

Out There (Radio Edit)

Album: you helped me write my s------ n---

A quiet document of moments that weren’t supposed to last—you helped me write my s------ n--- is a short, intimate album of three songs and a final spoken word poem. It sits somewhere between memory and unfinished letters, a soft place for the things we don’t say out loud.

The opener, "i hope it kills me," loops a slow, hypnotic guitar phrase—four alternating notes, picked in threes. As it swells halfway through, an acoustic guitar shadows the same pattern while a faint hissing distortion creeps in, like something breaking the surface.

"why can't i just rot" follows with a more urgent tempo. Acoustic guitar leads again, joined by piano and a fragile synth line that pulses beneath everything like a heart too aware of itself.

"what if there's no heaven?" is stripped raw. Played in one take, the acoustic guitar stumbles a little, but that imperfection holds a kind of truth—like someone trying to hold it together while quietly falling apart.

The final track, "but you didn’t know," is a spoken word poem. Unadorned and plainspoken, it lands like the last line of a letter never meant to be read.

This isn’t a polished record, and it doesn’t want to be. It’s something left behind, maybe on purpose. It’s for late nights, for headphones, for the moments when silence feels too loud.

"But you didn't know"

I hope it kills me

Why can't i just rot

what if there's no heaven?

“Bad Boy” is Crown Theory’s sultry take on the irresistible pull of danger and desire. With its smooth trap-soul beat, teasing vocals, and confident edge, the track plays like a cat-and-mouse game between self-respect and seduction. It’s the sound of late-night glances, deep conversations that go nowhere, and knowing he’s no good—but wanting him anyway.

After more than 25 years as a symphonic cellist I am exploring different ways, not consistent in style, trial and error. Do I have too many tracks?Probably😂. Working in Logic Pro.

Suicidal Blues is the solo project of a Hull-based musician making noise out of feeling – not just emotion, but the kind that crashes, hisses, and won't leave quietly. It's the raw sound of sadness, confusion, moments of clarity, and a defiant, untrusting hope. Blending noise rock, experimental indie, and emo, the music isn't about perfection; it's about being deeply human and utterly imperfect.
Most tracks are caught in a single take, reflecting an urgent desire to capture the emotional moment before it fades. Expect thick, saturated guitars and layered reverb creating flawed, full soundscapes. Every lyric is chosen carefully, often obscured in the mix – a way of being honest while protecting the most vulnerable parts. Themes of loneliness, entrapment, and emotional contradiction run deep. This is music made to understand feelings that are too loud to ignore, and hopefully, to help others do the same.

"It's about the melody. the beat. the sound and the voice. the clash of senses. dramatically usual. dreamlike bleak. marvelous beautiful. the crumbling of the dream. and the essence of passion. a thousand times believed dead. and rose again. my love, my music."
