A raw and emotional song about losing yourself in a relationship. He gave up his guitar, his friends, his Sunday runs—everything that made him who he was—trying to make her happy. She pushed him to be more successful, to climb higher, and he did it all for her. But piece by piece, he disappeared.
Now he looks in the mirror and doesn't recognize the man staring back. He's angry at himself for letting it go this far, angry at her for never being satisfied, and trapped by the guilt of wanting to leave. This is about the painful realization that sometimes love can feel like captivity, and that you can give someone everything they asked for and still lose them.
For anyone who's ever sacrificed too much of themselves and wondered where they went.

The Man I Used To Be

A nostalgic journey through faded photographs from the summer of 2017. He finds a shoebox full of Polaroids—beach days, bonfires, late-night diners, a road trip in a beat-up van. Each photo captures a moment with friends who have since drifted apart, living their own lives in different places.
The colors are fading, the edges turning yellow, but the feelings remain as vivid as ever. One friend got married and divorced. Another moved across the country. They don't talk much anymore—life got in the way. But these Polaroids hold proof of a time when they were young, reckless, and together.
This is about the bittersweet realization that some of the best moments of your life are already behind you, and the gratitude for having lived them at all. For anyone who's ever found old photos and felt that mix of joy and ache.

About the Project

For more than thirty years, I’ve been writing words — poems, fragments, memories. They are pieces of my life: joy and heartbreak, hope and disappointment, every emotion that shaped who I am. For decades they lived only on paper, but deep inside there was always a dream — to give them a voice.

I’m not a musician in the traditional sense. I don’t play instruments, and I’m not a singer. But thanks to today’s technology, I can finally bring my ideas to life. Every lyric comes from my heart, every melody is born in my mind — and with the help of AI, they now transform into music.

This project is not about taking anything away from real musicians. It’s not about fame or competition. It’s a deeply personal journey — a dream I’ve carried with me for decades. And now, at last, it’s alive.

Every lyric and melody was born from real memories and emotions. AI technology helped bring those ideas to life through voice and sound.
