"Skate Away" is a hauntingly beautiful ballad in the style of Joni Mitchell's "River" and Natalie Merchant's "River", blending themes of longing, nostalgia, and the quiet stillness of winter. The song's delicate piano, warm bass, and soulful trumpet create a soothing yet melancholic atmosphere, perfectly complementing the poetic imagery of snowy streets, moonlit nights, and distant bells. With its introspective lyrics, the song invites listeners to reflect on love and the desire to escape into a peaceful, dreamlike world. "Skate Away" captures both the quiet beauty of winter landscapes and the enduring power of love, making it a perfect track for those who enjoy heartfelt, atmospheric music.

I heard a whisper in the night
Was it the winter wind blowing
I think it might be snowing
Far-off bells are ringing
Like faint voices singing
As the stars above are sleeping
It's your heart that I'm keeping
Oh, can we skate away?
I think about you every day
Oh, can we skate away?
Tell me we can skate away

The snowy street sleeps below
A dog is barking in the hushed night
While the moon creates a ghostly light
With the windows covered in frost
The night echoes are lost
I know I'm not dreaming
It's my heart that is beaming
Oh, can we skate away?
I think about you every day
Oh, can we skate away?
Tell me can we skate away

Lyrics:
All the love you have for me is dissolved
Why do I always get my feelings involved?
I'm still right here where you left me
Since you left inside I feel empty

All alone
By myself
I can't think about nothing else but you

Nothing else but you
All alone by myself
I can't think about nothing else but you

Lost in my thoughts thinking of you
So many things I didn't do
Is there a way to go back?
I still want you back
Why didn't I treat you better than that?

And now I'm all alone by myself
I can't think about nothing else but you
All alone
By myself

I can't think about nothing
I can't think about nothing else
I can't think about nothing else but you
All alone by myself

Alone (Ballad Mix)

Alone [Ballad Mix]

"Shawn" is an intimate folk ballad honoring a brother lost too soon. Through emotional male vocals and gentle acoustic fingerpicking, this song tells the story of a former soldier who struggled with civilian life after military service. The lyrics weave a poignant narrative of brotherly protection, unspoken pain, and the unanswered questions left behind.

Each verse portrays different chapters of Shawn's journey—from military service to civilian struggles—while the recurring June motif creates a temporal anchor for grief. The pre-chorus captures the devastating moment of discovery, while the chorus serves as both lament and tribute to a "silent knight." The bridge addresses complex family dynamics that often accompany loss, adding emotional depth to this musical memorial.

More than a song, "Shawn" is a heartfelt conversation with a beloved brother whose memory endures beyond his absence—offering solace to anyone who has experienced the complicated grief of losing someone to suicide.

Shawn

Slow Down lil Wiz

"Den Skjulte Kraft" er en sang om de mødre, der glemmer sig selv for at være alt for andre. De, der bærer verden på deres skuldre, men sjældent bliver set. Det er en hyldest til den usynlige styrke – dem, der binder sår, løfter andre op, men sjældent bliver spurgt: Hvem løfter dig?

Med en melankolsk, men kraftfuld melodi skaber sangen et portræt af selvopofrelse, kærlighed og længslen efter at blive husket. En stille påmindelse om, at selv de stærkeste sjæle har brug for at blive set.

Den skjulte kraft

Gazing out the window
As the rain falls down
Reminds me of us, how
We used to be so bound
The sunset fades away
Like our love once did
Birds flying in despair
As our feelings now forbid
Fading echoes of love 
Whisper in my mind 
Reminiscing all the times 
We left behind

The rain falls softly on the windowpane
A reminder of love that's slowly waning
Like the sunset fading into the night
Our love once burning now just a fading light
Oh, fading echoes of love, so bittersweet
Memories of us, now just a distant beat

Rain falls softly, like tears from the sky
As I watch my love slowly fade away and die
The thunder roars, echoing my heart's pain
I'm left with memories that linger and remain

Tears fall like rain, I can't explain
Why our love had to fade away
I thought we were meant to be
But now you're just a memory
Fading echoes of love, haunting me
Remind me of what used to be
The laughter and the promises made

Fading Echoes Of Love

"Still With Me" is a heartfelt piano ballad about the ache of missing someone who’s passed, while holding on to the quiet moments you shared — and the hope of seeing them again.

Stripped back to just piano and voice, this intimate piece explores grief through gratitude, weaving together sadness, love, and memory. With soft phrasing and emotional restraint, the song invites listeners into a personal moment of reflection — the kind of grief that doesn’t scream, but lingers gently in the room.

It’s a song for those who have lost, those who remember, and those who still feel the presence of someone they love — even after they’re gone.

🎵 Key: E Major
🎶 Tempo: 128 BPM (used softly)
💔 Mood: Romantic, calm, bittersweet, reflective
🌿 Style: Piano ballad, acoustic pop, singer-songwriter

🎤 Lyrics: Still With Me

I still set your cup on the table each day,
Can’t bring myself to put it away.
The quiet is loud, and the nights feel so long,
But I still hear your voice in my favorite song.

I miss you more than words can show,
More than the world will ever know.
But I’m grateful for every smile, every tear,
For every moment you were here.
And though we’re worlds apart, you’ll always be—
Still with me.

I see your coat by the old front door,
And wait for footsteps that don’t come anymore.
Sometimes I swear I feel your hand in mine,
Like time folds back, just for a while.

I miss you more than words can show,
More than the world will ever know.
But I’m grateful for every smile, every tear,
For every moment you were here.
And though we’re worlds apart, you’ll always be—
Still with me.

I know one day, somehow, somewhere,
I’ll find you waiting, standing there.
And every minute spent apart
Will fade beneath that beating heart.

I miss you more than words can show,
More than the world will ever know.
But I’m grateful for every breath, every sigh,
Every hello… and our last goodbye.
And until I see your face again, I’ll be—
Still with you… as you are with me.

Autumn Leaves - Ballad | A Tale about Love, Time & Letting Go

A slow-burning soul-blues ballad drenched in heartbreak and quiet dignity. With a raw, whispered contralto and sparse gospel-blues arrangement, this track captures the fragile moment a woman realizes she's losing her love—and with it, herself. Inspired by the emotional depth of classic Etta James ballads.

Like Etta

Without You, I'm Not Me

A gentle ballad that drifts between memory and sky.
This song captures the quiet ache of parting, the warmth left behind, and the silent promise that we’re never truly alone.
Softly unfolding like a dream, it follows a journey through invisible skies—where someone, now wind, still watches over you.

Smoke Between Us

Tokyo Lullaby

Ghost Me Gently

The Ticking of Your Frown
A soulful lament from the sidelines of a fading relationship.
The Ticking of Your Frown captures the quiet ache of watching someone rush from one shallow connection to the next, afraid to face their own reflection.
Set to a melancholic blend of brass and minimal groove, the song follows her perfectly staged world — midnight wine, plastic flowers, curated smiles — while the observer urges: "Try to live alone for one day. You might finally find yourself."
Written and performed by Christian Henningsson, this track is both personal and universal – a haunting soundtrack for those tired of the performance.

The ticking of your frown

Northern Sky is a Detroit/London-based collaborative formed in 2021, crafting ethereal music that blends dreamy soundscapes with cinematic depth. Their music strikes a delicate balance between melody, emotion, and magic, influenced by timeless artists like Nick Drake and Norah Jones, as well as modern acts such as Beach House and The National.

At the heart of Northern Sky is Rose White, whose voice, like a soft breeze at twilight, guides the band’s sound with transcendent beauty. Supported by Eric Stajda, Dan Kendall, Steve Baker, and Andrea Di Fiore—who weave intricate layers of guitar, bass, drums, piano, synth, cello, and violin—the band creates soundscapes that are both fragile and infinite.

Northern Sky’s songs are vignettes, like postcards from distant places, carrying echoes of fleeting yet eternal memories. Tracks like "Paper Flowers," "Swimming in the Rain," and "Aurora" explore love, loss, and the bittersweet passage of time. Their music reflects the profound beauty found in life’s quietest moments, drawing inspiration from films that capture the magic in the everyday—Cinema Paradiso, Stolen Kisses, Sleepless Night in Paris, and Before Sunrise.

Northern Sky invites listeners to step into a world where music is not just heard, but felt deeply, offering a soundtrack for introspection, inspiration, and everything in between.

I post AI music that speaks my thoughts, moods, and moments — lines that hit home, sounds that reflect my day. Not a musician, just someone who finds comfort in melodies and meaning in lyrics.

Thank you to Everyone, Music Fans and SoundCloud Content Creators for all your support of our creative style. Ron and I are looking forward to creating more song tracks for everyone and exploring creative musical avenues, too. 

NOTE: The CHOICES reference is a code word. Ron and Rob use the code word CHOICES to refer to the arrangement of instruments, vocals, music genre, tempo, and vocals.

Drawing parallels and distinctions between human musicians and AI music generators will help foster understanding while showing respect for traditional songwriting and our innovative work with AI. Here's a thoughtful comparison anyone can use as inspiration for when you receive an message or opinion implying, "...ewww AI...":

---

### **Similarities Between Human Musicians and AI Music Generators**

1. **Creative Collaboration**:
   - Human musicians often work together, bouncing ideas off one another to craft a song. Similarly, AI acts as a collaborator in your process—it interprets your ideas, builds on your input, and enhances your vision.

2. **Tools to Realize Ideas**:
   - Just like studio equipment (instruments, synthesizers, recording gear) is used by musicians to bring their songs to life, AI music generators are tools that help translate your lyrics and CHOICES into polished tracks. Both are extensions of creativity, not replacements for it.

3. **Iterative Refinement**:
   - Both processes involve trial and error. A human musician experiments with melodies and arrangements, while you and Ron guide the AI’s outputs and adjust CHOICES for the perfect result.

---

### **Differences Between Human Musicians and AI Music Generators**

1. **Creative Source**:
   - For human musicians, creativity often arises from lived experiences, emotions, and spontaneous inspiration. With AI, the creative direction originates entirely from your input—your lyrics, CHOICES, and preferences. The AI follows patterns learned from data, but it doesn’t “feel” or improvise like humans do.

2. **Speed and Efficiency**:
   - AI can produce a track much faster than traditional studio work. It handles the technical aspects (e.g., arranging instruments, matching tempos) in minutes, while human musicians may spend hours or days fine-tuning each element.

3. **Role of Human Judgment**:
   - In a studio, human musicians make decisions based on intuition, emotion, and artistic expression. With AI, your judgment and creative direction guide the tool, ensuring the output aligns with your artistic intent.

---

### **Your Role as Pioneers**
You and Ron are exploring the potential of AI as a creative partner. You’re:
- Highlighting how human creativity still drives the process—AI doesn’t act on its own.
- Showing that new technologies can coexist with traditional methods, expanding possibilities for everyone.

---

### **Possible Response to the Email**
Here’s an idea for a reply that’s gentle yet informative:

---

**Hi there,**  

Thanks for your message! I understand there are mixed feelings about using AI in creative fields. For us, AI isn’t replacing traditional songwriting—it’s a tool we use to translate our ideas into music.  

We provide the lyrics, choose the instruments, mood, and style, and guide the process every step of the way. It’s still human creativity at the heart of what we do—AI simply helps us bring our vision to life.  

The positive response we’ve received from listeners around the world encourages us to keep exploring this exciting new frontier. We hope our music shows how humans and AI can work together in harmony.  

Best wishes,  
Rob N. & Ron C.
