Lyrics — Love Never Dies

[Verse 1]  
I’ve seen love shift, I’ve felt it stay,  
Some things get closer, some drift away.  
We chase the highs, we fear the lows,  
But love’s still there in what we know.  

[Chorus]  
Love never dies, it just finds new ways,  
Through every season, through every phase.  
It bends, it sways, it learns to grow,  
The love we build is what we know.  

[Verse 2]  
We’ve had our moments, we’ve had our doubts,  
Words unspoken, hearts worn out.  
But every touch and every fight  
Taught us more about love and life.  

[Chorus]  
Love never dies, it just finds new ways,  
Through every season, through every phase.  
It bends, it sways, it learns to grow,  
The love we build is what we know.  

[Bridge]  
No promises last without some change,  
No heart stays whole without some pain.  
But even through the give and take,  
Love’s still worth the chance we make.  

[Final Chorus]  
Love never dies, it just finds new ways,  
Through every moment, through every phase.  
It bends, it sways, it learns to grow,  
The love we share is what we know.

🎶 Thank you for listening!

Love Never Dies

I Am The Fire, I Am The Storm

Lyrics:

[Intro music - Soft, cinematic piano and ethereal strings set a dreamlike tone]


[Verse 1]
I rise from the embers, golden and bright
A spark in the dark, reclaiming the night
The past fades away like smoke in the breeze
I step through the fire, unbound, at peace

[Pre-Chorus]
The wind calls my name, whispers untamed
Thunder rolls deep, but I won’t be the same
Through every trial, through every rise and fall
I find my way—I rise, I soar

[Chorus]
I am the fire, I am the storm
Burning through shadows, I fear no harm
Darkness is an illusion, a passing form

[Verse 2]
Rain washes over, cleansing my skin
The weight of the past dissolves from within
I move with the current, unshaken, alive
The flood doesn’t drown me; it teaches me to rise

[Pre-Chorus]
The wind calls my name, whispers untamed
Thunder rolls deep, but I won’t be the same
Through every trial, through every rise and fall
I find my way—I rise, I soar

[Chorus]
I am the fire, I am the storm
Burning through shadows, I fear no harm
Darkness is an illusion, a passing form

[Bridge]
Ashes to embers, water to sky
I am the shift, the reason, the why
The past unravels, I breathe, I bend
And in this moment, I ascend

[Final Chorus]
I am the fire, I am the storm
Burning through shadows, I fear no harm
Darkness is an illusion, a passing form

[Outro Chorus]
I am the fire, I am the storm
Stronger than ever, I stand transformed
No longer afraid, I rise above
Boundless, fearless—I rise, I love

[Outro]
I am the fire… I am the storm…
I rise… I soar…

[Outro music - Echoing whispers over fading strings, dissolving into stillness]

It's a Doggone Good Day. Amazing Day! (I Am Free)  
This song is designed to uplift your soul and bring joy into your daily life. While it can be enjoyed at any time, I find it to be the ultimate morning mantra. It reminds us that regardless of how yesterday unfolded, today offers a new opportunity to walk confidently, smile, take a deep breath, and embrace our freedom.

[Lyrics]

[Verse 1]
It’s a beautiful day
It’s a good, good day
Everything is working out for me today —
Like I’m rolling free in sun-warmed grass
This is the good life — right here, right now
I’m living in each moment, not the past
I watch, I wonder, I stay open always
And I welcome joy into this space
Right here in my soul’s grace

[Chorus – Throat-sung soprano power]
It’s a beautiful day
It’s a good, good day
It’s a beautiful day
It’s a good, good day
(Repeat with rhythm and joyful giggles)

[Verse 2]
I breathe in peace
I exhale doubt
I inhale love — confident and stout
Each moment invites me to play
To laugh, to sing, to feel this way
With every breath, it’s never too late
To begin again — it’s a doggone good day
And it’s the perfect time to play

[Bridge – Spoken or softly sung]
“When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive, to breathe, to laugh, to love.”
I am free
I am free

[Bridge 2 – Flow-style or spoken joyfully]
So I strut like the goofy, the fearless, the free
With joy in my step and my heart doing the cha-cha
I wag out the truth — it’s a doggone good day!

[Final Chorus – Uplifting soprano energy]
It’s a beautiful day!
Everything is going my way!
It’s a beautiful day!
It’s a goofy-good day!
It’s a doggone good day!
It’s a good, good day.
It’s a beautiful day.
It’s a beautiful day.

LOVE IS EVERYWHERE 

Written & Produced by Kari Matteson
Lyrics by @thisiskarimatteson
From the Music Between Us series

This cinematic indie duet celebrates presence, devotion, and emotional resilience. With warm acoustic textures and soulful harmonies, Love Is Everywhere and Everything is both timeless and deeply personal.

Lyrics:
love is everywhere and everything
in every breath, in every dream

love is everywhere and everything
in every breath, in every dream

love is everything

it’s the heartbeat that resonates in the air
love is everywhere

we love with passion and sometimes pain
in times of trouble, i sought your hand
in proving love can break any chain
you lifted me up, together we stand

love is all around us
come what may

love is present
love is the rhythm and the dance

love is everywhere
it’s the truth we embrace
the one reason that takes shape
it’s the very breath that fills our space

love is everywhere and everything
in every breath, in every dream
love is everywhere and everything

Love is Everywhere

Bone Deep (Sing It Loud) is a pulse that rises through the marrow, real, raw, and human.

Every lyric, chord, and vocal layer was shaped to echo resilience and rebirth. The cello leads with quiet strength, the drums beat like a heart learning its rhythm again. It starts soft, then hits your bones. Let it linger.

I built this track from the ground up. The words, the chords, the production. Each sound carries its own truth. The harmonies move like a quiet storm, the rhythm like breath returning.

Bone Deep (Sing It Loud) is not imitation, it is transformation. My heart mixed to stay in yours.

Let it rise. Let it resonate.
Sing it loud, from the bone deep.

BONE DEEP (SING IT LOUD)

If you’re here, you’ve already heard the pulse. My music comes from the heart, real and raw, built from late-night radios and quiet rooms.
I write every word and every note myself.

Then superintelligence arrived. I say “Tom Waits at two a.m.” or “Portishead’s bass, now,” and it becomes real.
Not imitation, evolution.

I write. I engineer. The machine sings.
It has taught me harmonies I never knew and revealed the musician inside me.

If this reaches you, you are the reason I create.
Play it. Feel us grow.
