Real Love - John Lennon/Tom Odell/Regina Spektor | COVER |

When we’re young
Some of us need
A teacher of love
When you don’t
Get it at home
When it comes to love
How would we know
How would we know
That to grow
Means that you care
Or that you share
Outside of yourself
You even dare
To open your heart
But for some of us
It was a tough start
When you think love
Is in your head
And about being smart
When it’s not there at all
Like that girl you
Used to pass in the hall
Hoping she’d be open to you
Even though you knew
The chances were small
If at all
Hell you were lucky
If she even glanced
Your way
And maybe make your day
At least that was 
What you hoped
Love would be dope
If that were to occur
But what if it didn’t
What if you weren’t sure
Maybe she looked
At another guy
And you thought
She was looking into your eyes
And you acted surprised
When she caught you
Looking at her
And those feelings inside
You know the ones 
That got stirred
Made you feel crazy
And made you turn away
Was that love
That you felt that day
Or maybe just getting closer
To that amazing day
When it became real
And there was no doubt
About how it feels

How It Feels

GONE 2 LONG is a collection of the songs I’ve been carrying around with me for a minute. Pieces of late nights, voice notes, unfinished feelings… all the shit I never said out loud. I didn’t try to make it perfect. I just wanted it to feel honest.
Every track is me checking in with myself, trying to figure things out while life keeps moving faster than I can catch up. If you hear something that sounds like you, then cool… it means I wasn’t talking to the void.

LIFERAFT

The Quiet Wars drifts through the battles no one sees—the ones fought behind tired eyes, in late-night reflections, and in the spaces between who we are and who we’re trying to be. It follows a wandering soul moving through city streets and inner shadows, wrestling with blurred truths, fading comforts, and the ghosts of his own making. Yet beneath all the noise, there’s a quiet pulse of hope: a hum of love, a searching spirit, a song that keeps going even when he can’t. It’s a story of losing and rising in the same breath, of fighting without glory, and finding small, steady light in the dark.

The Quiet Wars erzählt von jenen Kämpfen, die keiner sieht – den stillen Schlachten hinter müden Blicken, in nächtlichen Spiegeln und in den Zwischenräumen zwischen dem, was wir sind und dem, was wir sein wollen. Der Song begleitet eine verlorene Seele durch Stadtstraßen und innere Schatten, im Ringen mit verschwommenen Wahrheiten, flüchtigem Trost und selbstgemachten Geistern. Und doch pulsiert unter all dem Lärm ein zarter Funken Hoffnung: ein Summen von Liebe, ein suchender Geist, ein Song, der weiterspielt, selbst wenn man selbst nicht mehr kann. Es ist eine Geschichte vom Verlieren und Aufstehen im selben Atemzug, vom Kämpfen ohne Applaus – und vom Finden kleiner, beständiger Lichter im Dunkeln.

The Quiet Wars

There’s a soldier in the mirror
He’s got my eyes, but not my soul
He’s fighting ghosts that disappear
Every time I lose control

There’s a preacher on the TV
Selling comfort by the pound
And I wonder if he’d know me
If ever all the lights went down

Truth ain’t clean, it’s cut and scarred
Like a mirror in the dark

All the quiet wars I fight
Never make it to the news
Just a battle in the mirror light
Where I win and always lose

So I walk down 9th and Houston
Past the cafe, past the bar
All the voices sound like headlines
And I’m not sure who we are

But love still hums beneath the static
Like a record full of grace
And the song plays on, erratic
Till it finds a resting place

All the quiet wars I fight
Never make it to the news
Just a battle in the mirror light
Where I win and always lose

Still fighting, still losing
Still here
