A warm, nostalgic EDM-pop track with tropical energy and a chant-ready hook: “Hold me like summer.”


Hold Me Like Summer

Echoes Of Us VI

"Why Do I Die If You Love Me?" is an  alternative rock ballad that drifts between love and death, salvation and ruin.
A husky, restrained vocal over lo-fi indie rock textures, recalling the raw 2000s vibe of The Black Skirts or Taylor Momsen.
A love that began as heaven but ended in hell — a quiet cry that spreads in sorrow.

「날 사랑하는데 왜 내가 죽는거야?」는 사랑과 죽음, 구원과 파멸 사이에서 흔들리는 마음을 담은 얼터너티브 록 발라드입니다.
검정치마를 떠올리게 하는 인디 록 사운드, 절제된 허스키 보컬, 2000년대의 날것 같은 감성을 담았습니다.
천국이라 불리던 사랑이 끝내 지옥으로 무너지는 순간, 고요히 번져가는 절규를 노래합니다.

Why do I die if you love me? (Indie Rock Ballad_male)

I’ve been watching skies at night
The stars that shine so bright
The stories that they write
The way the world feels right
The rivers as they flow
And my life is not for show.

But you said, “Where do you wanna go?
How much do you wanna try?
I’m not lookin’ for somebody
With a life beyond the sky
No fairy-tale
Just something real like this
Just someone I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss”

I want something like this, Yeah, I want something like this!
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Oh, I want something like this

I have been reading pages slow
The simple truths they show
The paths that people know
The moments as they go
The quiet words I've found
The way the world turns round
I'm happy with this simple life.

But you said, “Where do you wanna go?
How much do you wanna try?
I’m not lookin’ for somebody
With a life beyond the sky
No fairy-tale
Just something real like this
Just someone I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss”

I want something like this, Yeah, I want something like this!
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Ooh, I want something like this

Where do you wanna go?
How much do you wanna try?
I’m not lookin’ for somebody
With a life beyond the sky
No fairy-tale
Just something real like this
Just someone I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss
I want something like this
Oh, I want something like this
Oh, I want something like this
Oh, I want something like this

Beyond the Sky

[Intro]
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

[Verse 1]
We were dancing in the moonlight, stars shining bright,
In the glow of the city, everything felt so right.
You were mine, oh, we had it all,
Together we could conquer, never let love fall.
Memories whisper softly, echoes in my mind,
From the highs to the lows, the love we couldn’t find.
I lost it in the chaos, slipped right through my hands,
Now I’m searching for the rhythm, trying to understand.

[Chorus]
Where have you been, my heart's calling out,
Take me as I am, let go of all doubt.
I gave you everything, my soul and my song,
Now I’m dancing solo, trying to be strong.
So take me as I am, in this world so wide,
With the beats of our love, I'm still on this ride.

[Post-Chorus]
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Take me as I am, take me as I am.

[Verse 2]
Every corner of this universe feels empty without you,
The lights spin around me, and your spirit shines through.
We were golden and shining, laughter in the air,
But time keeps on ticking, spinning us in despair.
Thought we’d elevate, but we drifted apart,
Still I hold on tight to the echo of the start.
Do you remember the nights we’d never end?
Oh, my sweet love, will you come back, my friend?

[Chorus]
Where have you been, my heart's calling out,
Take me as I am, let go of all doubt.
I gave you everything, my soul and my song,
Now I’m dancing solo, trying to be strong.
So take me as I am, in this world so wide,
With the beats of our love, I'm still on this ride.

[Bridge]
We can build it back, rise up from the fall,
With every heartbeat, I'm still giving it my all.
Let’s reconnect the pieces, revive the lost spark,
In this luminous journey, let’s light up the dark.

[Interlude]
(Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)

[Chorus]
Where have you been, my heart's calling out,
Take me as I am, let go of all doubt.
I gave you everything, my soul and my song,
Now I’m dancing solo, trying to be strong.
So take me as I am, in this world so wide,
With the beats of our love, I'm still on this ride.

[Outro]
Take me as I am, reach out for my hand,
In this endless motion, can we take a stand?
I gave you everything, let’s be what we planned,
With the universe around us, let’s make our last dance.
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Take me as I am, take me as I am.

About “Yes Sir”
“Yes Sir” is a dark, seductive southern-rock track that explores the tension between power and surrender. It’s about a woman who knows her strength and chooses when to let her guard down — a dance of trust, passion, and control. The song blends smoky vocals, gritty guitars, and a slow, pulsing beat that builds heat without ever losing its elegance.

It’s not about submission; it’s about confidence — owning your desire, your voice, and the moment.

Yes sir!

(Verse 1)
We built a rocket out of milk crates and dreams,
Painted stars on the fence where the grass meets the seams.
The world felt endless past that wooden line,
Our galaxy fit in a night that was mine.

(Pre-Chorus)
We didn’t need no satellites,
Just porch light planets in the night—
Every whisper, every laugh,
Felt like a comet burning fast.

(Chorus)
In our backyard universe,
We owned the stars, for what it’s worth.
Old lawn chairs became our thrones,
We were gods of the great unknown.
In our backyard universe,
Everything felt unrehearsed.
You were the sun, and I was cursed,
Orbiting you forever.

(Verse 2)
Your dad’s old speakers played Bowie too loud,
We danced in pajamas, invisible crowd.
Talked about leaving this town someday,
But part of me still hopes we’ll stay.

(Pre-Chorus)
Constellations in your eyes,
Mapped the roads I’d never find—
Every moment, every spark,
Was our whole world in the dark.

(Chorus)
In our backyard universe,
We owned the stars, for what it’s worth.
Old lawn chairs became our thrones,
We were gods of the great unknown.
In our backyard universe,
Everything felt unrehearsed.
You were the sun, and I was cursed,
Orbiting you forever.

(Bridge)
Now the grass grew tall, the lights are gone,
But I still hear our favorite song.
If I close my eyes, I see that sky—
We never really said goodbye.

(Final Chorus)
In our backyard universe,
Where time and truth both reversed.
You were the sun, and I was cursed,
Still orbiting you forever.
Yeah, our backyard universe—
I still see you there,
In every star that burns.

(Outro)
Our backyard universe…
Still spinning somewhere.
