Lyrics

If it was only down to a sense of timing,
I still believe I could see,
All the things the future might hold,
For the likes of you and me.

We've always been dreamers, romantics at heart,
You know I still love you, though we're lifetimes apart,
I miss you, I'd kiss you, I'd do anything,
To make my broken heart sing.

How many days, have passed since we met?
I only have good thoughts, I got rid of regret.
I'm laughing', I'm dancing', I'm playing' the fool,
And I strut as I try to act cool.

But it's all for show, as I take every blow,
You know I refuse to break down.
I'll have a go, and let everyone know,
I ain't nobody's clown.

How many days, have passed since we met?
I only have good thoughts, I got rid of regret.
I'm laughing', I'm dancing', I'm playing' the fool,
And I strut as I try to act cool.

The world keeps on spinning, the seasons still change,
But nothing quite feels right, it's all re-arranged.
I walk through the crowd with a smile on my face,
But deep in my chest, there's a hollowed-out space.

Still, I get up each morning and give it my best,
Put my faith in the rhythm and hope for the rest.
If love leaves a scar, then I wear it with pride,
You're the ghost in my song, and the fire inside.

Description
How Many Days is the brand new single from The DC Sound Project.

HOW MANY DAYS

Hey, hope you enjoy the music 🎹

Attention !!! : At certain intervals the main genres will rotate and occasionally something else will come in between.


And if I can only reach one person who likes my music, it was the right decision to present my works.

Eric Schultheiss stands at the vanguard of contemporary composition, forging a unique path that bridges the rhythmic drive of global percussion with the infinite possibilities of digital sound. As a composer, percussionist, and educator, Schultheiss is acclaimed for his hybrid electro-acoustic works—pieces that fuse the organic pulse of drums with orchestral richness and the sonic innovation of modern electronics.

Rooted in a Southern California upbringing steeped in progressive rock, classical discipline, and the improvisational freedom of jazz, Schultheiss draws on a vast tapestry of influences. His music channels the off-kilter accents of Stewart Copeland, the lyrical intensity of Neil Peart, the storytelling depth of Peter Gabriel and Sting, and the progressive artistry of Genesis, Dream Theater, and Spock’s Beard. This synthesis results in compositions that are as intellectually rigorous as they are emotionally evocative.

Currently, as Head of Percussion Studies and Electro-Acoustic Composition at the Middle Tennessee Conservatory of Music, Schultheiss is an outspoken advocate for the DAW as a true instrument. In his hands, digital workstations become canvases for sonic experimentation, allowing for real-time orchestration, microscopic precision, and the layering of polyrhythms and timbres that would be impossible with traditional notation alone. He champions technology not as a shortcut, but as an authentic extension of the composer’s voice.

Signature works such as Lights Twinkle—a Christmas percussion-ensemble piece blending Japanese Taiko, harp, and haiku-inspired vocal textures—showcase his ability to unite tradition with innovation. Airidea’s Journal explores the dialogue between structure and freedom through dance-driven percussion and atmospheric synths, while As You Sleep and Terminal Memory reveal Schultheiss’ penchant for ambient soundscapes, introspective melodies, and cross-media collaborations. His compositions have been commissioned for film, dance, and multimedia productions, performed by leading ensembles, and praised for their intricate interplay of rhythm and resonance.

As an educator, Schultheiss is dedicated to shaping musicians who are not only technically skilled but also creatively fluent in both acoustic and digital modalities. At the Middle Tennessee Conservatory, he mentors young composers in hybrid techniques, polyrhythmic structures, and DAW-based workflows, encouraging them to embrace technology as a creative partner. His influence extends beyond the classroom, as he helps students gain visibility in the digital era and equips them to thrive in an evolving musical landscape.

Through his relentless curiosity, innovative spirit, and commitment to artistic growth, Eric Schultheiss is redefining what it means to be a composer in the 21st century. His work is a testament to the power of bridging tradition and technology, and to the limitless frontiers that await those willing to explore them.
