this album is written in a time of hardships, and bliss. being with Miranda, feeling as if soul mates can exist for the first time is eye opening to say the least. and with all these great feelings, that balance in the world people always speak of becomes ever more present. it has felt like, the more i appreciate love, the more my health and people who don't know me at all try to tear me down, or take what i've been working twords.

i wrote a really long message about this album, but it won't let me share that much text here, so for those interested, it is on bancamp here. https://tidecruz.bandcamp.com/album/nothing-is-real-part-xx

so sorry for the delay. ive spent the last 7 months writing this album, in between all the ambient singles/albums. i hope for any listeners of the "nothing is real" albums, it is worth the wait. on a very personal note, these albums are the only thing that brings me self worth. i am deeply impacted and thankful some of my ambient songs have connected with you all, in particular "i was only temporary". however, despite their impact on social media, i personally do not feel any accomplishment when writing ambient. as many long time listeners of the "nothing is real" project have mentioned, the simple ambient songs are in essence, just an outro of a "nothing is real" song. i too share this sentiment. i think i am capable of making a lot more emotionally impactful music, not just for others, but as means of helping myself. i struggle with feeling adequate, and because of my events in my life it has become of my personality to want to prove to myself, before anyone else, that i can do something great, even if there is nobody around to see it. even for years and years before the viral song "i was only temporary", these "nothing is real" albums we're written and released one after another with little to no support, or viewership. i hope that, in my efforts to prove to myself that i can make something truly one-of-a-kind, and original, that it will inspire people to not copy others, and find their own sound. i think alot of people, with a platform have a similar message about wanting to "make the world a better place". i think this is a good message of course, i just would like for anyone reading this to know, that my message is a bit more specific. with the  "nothing is real" series, i want to share that, in this world today, i think there are so many fake things, people, friends, etc. i do not want to inspire people to copy what i do, or anyone else. i want to release these albums and hopefully make people say "wow, this is so much effort, and it does not sound like anything i have ever heard! maybe i should not try to keep up with trends, or other people, or let them make me feel inadequacy any longer. this music inspires me to do my own thing, and master it, and make something unique and original that can tell my own personal story". i think individualism is being lost today, in a world that prioritizes followers, and followings. i want to leave behind something that will inspire others to look within themselves, and find approval in their own ideas, instead of constantly looking to imitate what already exists. i think the next most wonderful and beautiful thing that will help a lot of people, is lying in wait inside one of you, and to find it, i hope whatever i have done may help people become introspective enough to dig it up, and share with all of us. anyways, thanks for listening and reading all this. <3 - mhie

feeling things i can't explain

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT, 2025.
finally got to expose Oneheart. 
thanks for the insane amount of support on instagram to help take him down, you guys are incredible <3

songs i cant show my friends

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT

@vanda100 and i had worked on this 3 years ago. he sent a very crazy and long piano peformance to me. i sifted thru it and we transformed it together into something completely different. we tried off and on to finish it and eventually it got left behind. then 3 years later (in 2025), he messaged me again and his friend @natti-915299332 had added some vocals to it. i was very blown away, and it sounded nothing like i had ever heard before. i opened up the old project and added the new vocals, and decided to re-work the entire project into something that better suited the vocals. this project started as one thing, and changed and changed so many times, with things added and removed, until finally this was the result. sometimes the best songs are made in minuets, and other times, music i really adore can take what feels like a life time.

here are the lyrics:
called
no one picked up
to voicemail
i’m alone again
as always
when did i become, the shadow of a ghost?
i never died
but people treat me as if im dead
you don’t have to die to become a ghost
hiding
waiting
searching
looking for answers
something to show that i’m alive
all alone
\
the lyrics are particularly personal to me. they were not written with any of my input or communication with them, but ended up being deeply personal for me. If natti wishes to share here her interpretation of them i will add it here,

but for me this song really cuts deep. lately, after refusing to write music for oneheart, and refusing to let him release my music remixed under his name, i've felt like, wow, if this is how big artists treat me, like a piece of meat, or as if i would ever agree to be a ghost writer for someone else's sucess, its deeply dehumanizing, and disgusting, and it's like people treat me as if im dead, but it makes me wonder, how far disgusting people like that would go when im actually dead. he already hired this dude dean to help him rip off my "nothing is real" style songs, after i refused to make them with him and blocked him everywhere, so all i can assume is that the day i actually do die, he will be throwing a big party since in his mind, i wont be there to stop him from ripping off my music on a massive scale. anyways, thats never going to happen, but that's just the kind of garbage i've been dealing with for years now and used to be too afraid to say anything. my health has gotten so bad though, i just could care less anymore and have no issue exposing disgusting people like that. 

i hope this song will help you confront whatever it is you need to think about. for me, it was that garbage. that just scratching the surface but i'll talk about the entire picture sooner or later. anyways, big love to everyone out there, and thanks for listening to our song.

people treat me as if im dead

i want to make this feeling last

panic attack(s)

worked in the music for only a day and a half my bad guys its kinda a rushed job. i was in the hospital for 3 days recently and still recovering a lil, but the field recording is by vhs_ghost, and i added a gaming clip too of our win celebration with miranda on apex legends at the end. our first win with all 3 of us. gang. vhs_ghost hasnt made music before (unless she has a secret DJ alter ego i dont know about) haha, but yeah i really honestly pressured her to make a music name and put it on this song. i just think its cool, for me, writing this it was  inspired by just hanging with the girls and hearing about what was going on with her, and it would of been made without that experience just listening so i think its an important part of the song and deserves credit, even if she didnt produce the track. she added alot in my mind, and even offered up this cool picture for the album art :D after i heard the field recording of vhs_ghost’s neighborhood it inspired me to change the whole direction of the song but im really happy with what i did here and i hope it fills you guys with lots of energy to take charge of bad situations, and change them - even if its outside of your comfort zone, to learn to see how strong you are, and that you can do anything. - big love
