Take My Eyes

BETTER
When the world feels better
And when you’re out of luck
I hope that I can be better
Compared, and yet I’m stuck

Hard to feel the dark
When everyone’s better
The hate you share is worse than being better—it’s just letters

To fight the madness in the dark
Is visible by day; oh, where do I start?

Oh, I confess my feelings are hard to put down
When happiness is toxic and it dances all around
Who knows who you truly are? It’s a mystery
And; Yet I think you’re more simple, you’ve got a head, so think

When the time is near
Hope that you find your fears
To feel alive is better
Than any kind of letters

I suppose it’s all the same
I hope you remember my name

When the world feels better
And when you’re out of luck
I hope that I can be better

Better

Lyrics:
Who will catch you when you fall?
When all those you love have betrayed you.

Who will be there by your side?
And who can you count on this time?

When there’s nothing left to fear
But the rage in your heart uncontrolled

When you know the end is near
The fire in your heart will run cold

Who knows why you cannot see?
And who knows what weighs on your mind?

Who knows why love can’t break free?
And who knows the secrets you hide?

The Secrets You Hide (Ghost Edit)

A Better Place – Light In The Sea EP

With Light In The Sea, A Better Place pull all the threads together. Across four tracks, the band proves why they’ve quickly become one of the most exciting new voices in indie rock.

From the drizzly intimacy of debut single It Rains, to the dreamlike haze of Don’t Mind, and the heartfelt punch of Someday—already spinning on Amazing Radio UK—the songs carry the DNA of ’80s/’90s alt-indie greats like Polvo, Dinosaur Jr., Unwound, Sebadoh, Teenage Fanclub, and The Posies, but with a freshness that’s entirely their own.

New track Remember When completes the story: a slow-burner that starts with gentle guitars and relaxed vocals, before erupting into a midtempo surge of energy. It’s nostalgic and forward-looking all at once, a reminder of why this band resonates so deeply.

Radio stations in the UK, the Netherlands, the US, and Belgium are already tuned in, and live, A Better Place is the kind of band that wins you over in one set flat.

Light In The Sea isn’t just an EP—it’s a statement. Indie rock, recharged and reimagined.

don’t speak to the driver

Man falls for woman who turns out to be not so nice, so now he's down and playing the blues on his steel guitar. Old story....still worth listening to if you like tasty guitar licks.

Blue Steel

This is a recording from the space between sender and receiver.
A letter never sent —
and yet read by a million hearts.

You Were There is Merlin MIRAGE’s transmission of gratitude, carried on the breath of techno.
A voice that walks slowly through the corridors of presence,
finding in every echo
a witness.

Time folds inward.
Words become footsteps.
Each beat says what language cannot.

This is a memory made of listeners.

You Were There (Vers. Merlin)

The Popguns - Oh Harry

The Trip” is a hallucinatory dive into a cocaine-fuelled dreamscape — where time bends, memories blur, and the self drifts between fantasy and confession. A surreal mix of escape, confrontation, and reflection, it captures the highs and shadows of a mind spiralling through time.
