Reencontro

She's serious, she can’t go on
She's been saving up all her best cards
Ever-wandering for so many years
Always trying to say what she has to say
And now she's sweating out all of these fevers
But it’s alright cause she's never going back there again (oh no)
Never going back there again

To the place where she can never be nothing more
Than a cigarette or alcohol nothing more
She ain’t ever going never going never going back there again

Now she's selling off all that she owns
And she's paying back all that she owes
Not a gambler but she knows the odds
Never waiting for someone to rescue her
And she's making up all of these plans
But it’s alright cause she's never going back there again (oh no)
Never going back there again

To the place where she can never be (nothing more)
Than a cigarette or alcohol (nothing more)
She ain’t ever going never going never going back there again

She don’t care that the house won't just let her leave
And she don’t care that her friends all think she should have quit
Cause it is not a problem that the dealer needs a hit

She pushes through revolving doors as she finds herself in the Sands
Taking a seat on the open floor while she pictures the winning hand
Under the weight of the river's four it's the best that she's ever had
Into her heart and out her soul

She don’t care that the house won't just let her leave
And she don’t care that her friends all think she should have quit
Cause it is not a problem that the dealer needs a hit.

Never Going Back

about how it used to feel

Before the Chaos

Closing in

Terpaku Sudah

“Baby Teeth” isn’t just the second full length album from up and coming artist Ridco (me), it’s an experience…10 songs, 10 life changing snippets of awesomeness (to put it humbly). This album varies widely in style, from funk, to folk, to “psych-gospel” (thanks for that term Lucas). It also features some awesome vocal performances from Rob & Jay, Lucas Brogdon, and Horse Thief. If you like (or hate) music, then this is definitely music. Give it a shot man!

We Have a Hope

"RUN AWAY (but it’s different)” is a quiet, aching love letter to second chances and soft escapes. In this intimate reimagining of his breakout single, DEAR DAO strips the song down to its rawest form—blending hazy textures, cinematic minimalism, and late-night vulnerability into an ethereal indie-pop experience.

Each version feels like a different chapter of the same dream: slowed and reverb-soaked like you're driving through memories at 2 a.m., or delicately acoustic like a whisper from a distant part of yourself. Layered with nostalgic sadness and flickers of hope, this project captures what it means to long for freedom, connection, and a place that feels like home—even if it’s just in someone else’s arms.

RUN AWAY (But It's Slightly Reimagined Because I Couldn't Let Go)

Simple

明るい不安　(Une anxiété lumineuse)
夢の先で　胸が締め付けられるのは
c'est parce que je sens la réalité.
If there's anything to lose, it's you.
誕生日おめでとう　Happy birthday, joyeux anniversaire
元気でいるかい　How are you doing?
J'ai manqué ce qui était important.
悩んでいるのもひとりじゃないから
あの日に帰りたいけど I want to go back to that day,
mais je ris en disant que c'est impossible.
それでいて進みたいゆるさでいる
Let's start what we should do now.
思い立ったら行動起こしても
I haven't accomplished anything great,
pourtant je me sens comme si j'avais travaillé, c'est moi.
My heart was out of oxygen, and I tried to suck yours.
罪人は僕だ　なんて思って
je me dis que dès demain, I'll offer you my own heart.
心を　ta joie, ton bonheur.
水をやって大きくなれ
Can a withered flower come back to life?
Juste la bonne quantité, just the right amount,
きっと新しい命を見つめてる

atmospheric, dreamy, synth-driven バラード
