Lyrics:
I don't know how you got to me
This isn't who I want to be
I feel so awkward and so anxious
Every time I try to speak

And now it's almost like a dream
The way you used to look at me
We say it's not the end
But I feel like I'm waiting for a friend

We make the easy things seem hard
Rationing poison from the heart
I tried to save myself by putting up a wall
You ripped apart

And now it's almost like a dream
The way I changed the things I need
You don't have to break to bend
But I feel like I'm waiting for a friend

The moment I think I should leave
You give a tug back on the strings
Every reason I was angry
Disappears from memory

And now it's almost like a dream
The combination of the pain and
Ecstasy I get
When I feel like I'm waiting for a friend

Shangri-blah

Allin- Summer Love

La nuit tombe sur la ville, une aquarelle de néons.
Les rues murmurent ton nom, perdu dans l'horizon.
Ta silhouette danse sous la lune... un mirage si doux.

Le temps s'arrête... suspendu...

Oh, l'écho de ton âme, dans le silence de minuit.
Une symphonie secrète, une infinie mélodie.
Nos regards se croisent, une étincelle, un frisson.
C'est notre constellation, perdue dans la saison.

Je te suis sur les toits, où le vent chante un air ancien.
Chaque souffle est un poème, le lien qui me retient.
Ton parfum dans l'air du soir est l'ancre de mon cœur.

Oh, l'écho de ton âme, dans le silence de minuit.
Une symphonie secrète, une infinie mélodie.
Nos regards se croisent, une étincelle, un frisson.
C'est notre constellation, perdue dans la saison.

Juste cet instant... gravé dans l'éternité... un rêve éveillé.

Notre constellation...
Une infinie mélodie...
...ton écho... dans le silence...

The Frequency of Silence

This new indie album is my way of capturing the feeling of autumn nights, quiet rooms, and the strange beauty of being close to someone while the world fades outside. The songs are minimal in words but heavy in mood — sweaters, rain, shadows, and light all becoming part of the story. It’s melancholic but also cosy, a blend of intimacy and distance, memory and desire. These tracks live somewhere between Fleetwood Mac’s mysticism, Beach House synths and the hazy trance of indie and dream-pop.

Can we talk all night long?

DEEP IN YOUR SOUL

This is the remastered version of "Two of us" album. A soft, indie pop-rock album that perfectly captures cozy, relaxed autumn vibes. It’s a melancholic yet intimate collection of songs, painting a soundscape of quiet rooms, falling rain, and hazy light—ideal for reflective evenings.

Sweater weather (Remastered)

A psychedelic exploration of how the truth doesn't matter when you're billing by the hour.
