Description: Song I wrote a few years back and forgot about

Letting Go

In a world where memories live forever in the cloud, where WiFi signals once connected hearts, and where love lingers in unread messages, Disconnected is an album that speaks to the modern heartbreak we all know but rarely talk about.

Each track is a chapter of loss, nostalgia, and digital ghosts—those tiny, unexpected reminders that someone used to be part of your life. From the pinned conversations that no longer light up, to the Netflix profiles left untouched, to the TikToks that still get likes even after the love is gone, Disconnected captures what it means to miss someone in the digital age.

With haunting melodies, raw emotions, and a sound that blends intimacy with cinematic depth, this album isn't just about heartbreak—it's about the echoes of love that refuse to fade.

For anyone who’s ever seen their past pop up on their timeline, heard a voice message they couldn’t play, or hesitated to unpin a conversation—this album is for you.

🔹 Play it loud. Play it late at night. Play it when the WiFi signal feels weaker than the connection you lost. 🔹

who's watching

The streets are decorated
Everyone is celebrating Christmas
There are lights everywhere
Trees adorned with ornaments

The snow is falling outside
Winter has already settled in the air
The cold outside is not greater
Than what I feel inside

Winter is a time for celebration
Not for me, not for me, not anymore
Winter is a season of celebration
Not for me, not for me, not anymore
Winter, go away winter, winter

Winter is a time for celebration
Not for me, not for me, not anymore
Winter is a season of celebration
Not for me, not for me, not anymore
Winter, go away winter, winter

I may seem selfish for thinking this way
But I lost the people I loved the most
During this time, seeing everyone happy and celebrating
Makes me think they could be here
Not having them with me makes my heart freeze
So I'm sorry if I don't have reasons to celebrate

Winter is a time for celebration
Not for me, not for me, not anymore
Winter is a time of celebration

I'm sorry I don't celebrate like you all do
Maybe someday, but not now
Not now

Winter, go away winter, winter
Please, go away winter

Go Away Winter

LYRICS

Sous un ciel d’étoiles brisées, je t’appelle
Ton ombre s’effrite dans la brume cruelle
Chaque vent murmure un éclat de ton rire
Mais ton absence m’engloutit, je ne peux m’enfuir

Ton absence est un océan où je me noie
Un amas de cendres qui brûle en moi
Maman, ton éclat s’est perdu dans la nuit
Je suis un phare éteint, seul dans l’oubli

Tes mots dansaient comme des feuilles d’automne
Sur mon cœur d’enfant, ils chantaient ton psaume
Mais ton absence les vole, les disperse en poussière
Et je cherche ton souffle dans les ombres d’hier

Ton absence est un océan où je me noie
Un amas de cendres qui brûle en moi
Maman, ton éclat s’est perdu dans la nuit
Je suis un phare éteint, seul dans l’oubli

Si mes larmes pouvaient tisser une aile
Je volerais vers toi, d'étoile en  étoile
Ton absence est une aile arrachée
Maman, sans toi, mon ciel s’est effacé

Ton absence est une mer qui agite mes rêves
Ta lumière s’éteigne, mais l’amour se soulève
Maman, je te porte dans mes veines toujours
Un chant dans le vide, un éternel amour

Ton absence, Maman

Stop the Fight

Now I Am
Lyrics by Mark Cunico (marcodaddio)

This song began with the words of poet May Sarton—but it found its voice in all of us.
“Now I Am” is a journey through masks, miles, and memory… toward truth.
It’s about becoming who we were always meant to be—and realizing we’re not alone in that becoming.

From every shore, language, and heartbeat…
We rise.
We breathe.
We remember.

One breath. One truth. One name.
We all become… One.

— marcodaddio


[Verse 1]
I wore the names they gave to me
Played every part they thought I’d be
I crossed the world to find one sound
But all along, it was homebound

I ran as if the end was near
Time behind me, full of fear
But now I stop, I breathe, I see
The light was always inside me

[Chorus]
Now I am
Not the mask, not the plan
I am more than where I’ve been
I’m the fire and the skin
From the mountain to the sea
We all rise… becoming free
Now I am
Now I am

[Verse 2]
This hand, this voice, this sacred breath
No longer hides in fear of death
The word, the weight, the song I give
It’s not to chase—but just to live

We bloom like fruit then fall to ground
But roots still whisper, soft and sound
The soul returns in every land
In every child, every hand

[Chorus]
Now I am
Not alone, not a man
Not a flag or border’s line
But a soul, alive in time
From the silence to the beat
We all dance… becoming complete
Now I am
Now I am

[Bridge]
“I become myself…” (English)
“Je deviens moi-même…” (French)
“Ahora soy yo…” (Spanish)
“मैं अब खुद हूँ…” (Hindi)
“Na sasa ni mimi…” (Swahili)
“今、自分になった…” (Japanese)

[Final Chorus]
Now I am
A spark in every land
Hear the voices, wide and far
We’re all notes in the same star
In our stillness, we are flame—
One breath, one truth, one name
Now I am…
Now we all… become

One breath, one truth, one name
Now I am…
Now we all… become

One Truth
One name
Now I am

We all become

One

Now I Am

Written in honor of my twin sister's massive heart. 

Lyrics: 

[Intro]
I’ve been spinning on this circle…chasing hearts that couldn’t stay.
Giving love like it was oxygen…just to watch it float away.
But I’m not the same woman—who thought pain was the proof.
There’s a fire deep inside me now. And it’s lighting up the truth.

[Verse]
Another year. Another heartbreak. Same old tears upon my face.
Thought love would be my rescue…but it left without a trace.
I gave 'til I was empty. Lifted men up just to fall.
Tried to be their northern star—
but no one risin’ to the call.

[Chorus]
I was turning on a wheel…spinning ‘round the same sun.
Giving all I had to give…but never being the one.
Still, I didn’t hold back love. Didn’t close the fading gate.
Even pain became a prayer…
and I still chose to radiate.

[Verse]
They say the world keeps turning…but I feel it in my bones.
Each goodbye was a teacher. Each silence carved in stone.
But I never let the hurting…be a reason not to feel.
Love still flowed right through me—
even when it wouldn’t heal.

[Chorus]
I was turning on a wheel…‘round a sun I didn’t know.
Now I see—it was my own fire…keeping me aglow.
What I gave was not a weakness. Just strength misunderstood.
And I’d do it all again…
just to transform what I could.

[Bridge]
This last one was different. I came out brand new.
Heard the voice of God in the wind…and morning dew.
Life began to whisper. And I finally heard the call.
That I was not made to chase—
I was born to stand tall.

I’ve got my own sun rising…at the center of my chest.
Burned away the fear—
what I deserve has come to rest.
I’m guided now by ancestors. And I’ve never felt so clear.
I’ve never felt so clear…
My soul’s already moving…
and the one I seek is near.

[Verse]
They were mirrors—every one of them…reflecting back myself.
Now the universe is my mirror.
There’s no end to my wealth.  
I don’t need a love that’s lesser. I don’t ache to be enough.
I want love that knows my thunder…
and can meet me in the rough.

[Chorus]
I’m no longer on that wheel. I’ve stepped off into the light.
Built a fire from my heartbreak…now it’s burning warm and bright.
So I’ll sit here on this mountaintop…and watch the valley bloom.
I see another peak ahead—
but there’s no more need to zoom. 

[Outro]
My pain had a purpose. And now I see…
The suffering didn’t break me. It came to set me free.
Yeah, no suffering can break me…
this soul of mine is free.

Revolutions around the Sun (Amy's Song)

Sacred Time

The Weight We Lay Down is the powerful closing chapter to Luminor’s family and legacy arc.

Where Ashes of a Man and Shadows We Inherit carried grief and burden, this track is about release. It’s about refusing to carry every scar forward, choosing love over pain, and finding strength in letting go.

Layered with acoustic and electric guitars, soaring strings, driving percussion, and raw, powerful vocals, this song is both a catharsis and a declaration:
we are not only what we inherit — we are the light that breaks the chain.

The Weight We Lay Down

Small Alt/Rock artist from Atlanta, I mainly play live shows but really wanted somewhere to release some demos and raw versions of my songs. This is a journal of sounds, ideas, originals and covers, I don’t claim to own any of the covers but still wanna share my versions of songs I don’t want the world to forget. I can’t wait to connect with more artists. Honest feedback always welcome
