Sometimes the strongest people are the quietest.
This song is a voice for the ones you don’t always see, the survivors behind the smile, the ones still standing after everything tried to break them.
It’s not just a song... it’s a reminder to look closer, care deeper, and never underestimate quiet strength. 💔🫶🌙
If you know someone like this, let them know.
They're still here. And that means everything. 💜

****Lyrics****

I’ve met them.
I’m one of them.
The quiet survivors.
The ones who walk through life like nothing’s wrong,
but they’re holding themselves together with threads.
This song is for them.
And for you, so you don’t miss what they carry.

They hide the worst of it behind a tired smile
Say, “It’s nothing,” when it’s everything, but that’s their style
They walk through fires no one sees, and still they care
They’re breaking in a room full of people unaware

And you don’t know
The weight they carry as they go
But I’ve seen the nights
They lose the fight
And still, they breathe

Their scars tell a story
They’re the pages that pain couldn’t burn
Every line a war they survived
Every mark a truth they earned
You might think they’re shattered
But there’s strength in every piece
They’re not weak, they’re not broken
They’re just, healing, underneath

They whisper cries so no one else will hear
Hold the world together, even drowning in their fear
They give their love, even when none comes back their way
And still they show up, still they hope, every day

And you don’t see
How hard it is just to be
But I’ve watched them stand
With shaking hands
And still, they give

Their scars tell a story
They’re the pages that pain couldn’t burn
Every line a war they survived
Every mark a truth they earned
You might think they’re shattered
But there’s strength in every piece
They’re not weak, they’re not broken
They’re just, healing, underneath

You don’t see the nights they cry into their sleeve
Or how brave it is to simply, still believe
You pass them in the street, at work, at home, each day
Smiling, helping, laughing, while their heart slips away

You might think you’d recognize someone who’s barely hanging on
But survivors don’t always look broken
They look like parents, friends, coworkers, kids
They look like people you love

So pay attention
Ask gently
Listen longer

Because some people are fighting for their lives
Behind quiet eyes and steady hands

And if you see someone like that, really see them,
Remind them,
They are a survivor
And that, is something to be proud of

Behind Quiet Eyes

LOVE ORCHESTRA (Vocal) - The Midnight Pies

A collab with

and Eric57 (Sax , samples , beat , arrangement , mixing/producing)..

2 minutes Mr.Smith (colaboration with The Midnight Pies and Eric57)

This is an old band recording I never planned on sharing. We were practicing in a hall, and one of the guys used to record our sessions, this is one of those takes.

It was many years ago, before I lost the ability to lift my arms. But when I listen, I’m right back there, breathing music into the room with people I cared about. It brings me back so vividly it hurts a little, a lot actually, bittersweet doesn’t quite cover it

The whole thing was improvised. I used to be able to play the saxophone like some people whistle, hearing the tune and responding without thinking. It just flowed, it was the one thing I really excelled at.

The quality’s terrible, I know. This was never meant for anyone else, just a moment captured for us, for joy, for memory, for connection. But I’ve been sharing more of myself lately, and this was, or is, a big part of me.

It’s not perfect. It’s not clean. But it’s real

💜 For anyone who’s had to let go of something they love, this is a piece I got to keep.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID - The Midnight Pies

🌕🍇 Jelly on the Moon 🍇🌕
This wobbles where gravity shouldn't, a squishy, happy groove built from pure joy and strange angles. No vocals, no rules, just beats, bounce, and a synth that might be giggling. Like dancing in your socks on a moon crater with zero expectations and maximum grin. 🍇🌕

🙃 For everyone who smiles without knowing why.

💨 The kettle steamed with delight and blurted “I didn’t even realize I was bobbing, I just was”
🧊 The ice dispenser dropped a cube and whispered “This is the sound of joy with no origin”
🌀 The blender spun in slow motion and hummed “I don’t know what genre this is, but I’d puree it again”

🍇 One for the dance floor daydreamers and weird little moonwalks in the kitchen.

🛠️ Cooked up in FL Studio with giggling synths, bouncy blips, and pure sonic jelly.

Not trendy, not a chart hit. But it makes me smile and that's what counts.

💌 Please let me know if you'd like me to make more like this.
