Stayed is an album about the kinds of love that don’t shout, but linger. Built on quiet moments, half-closed doors, and the echoes of words never said, each track traces the soft ache of connection—how it forms, how it frays, and how it somehow endures. These aren’t grand declarations. They’re confessions left on voice memos. Glances held too long. Goodbyes that felt like maybe.

With textures ranging from ambient folk to cinematic indie, Stayed drifts through longing, memory, and stillness. Some songs ask to be heard in headphones at midnight. Others belong to empty roads or rooms that still hold someone’s scent.

This is not an album about falling in love.
It’s an album about the people who never left you—
even when they did.

Like I Belonged

Remember_ from lyrics of 91 with a 25 hint

Night alarm going off
At one thirty o’clock
just the dog and me
Hadn’t even known how 
Until now
And I don’t feel a thing
Where it all used to be
So,
Don’t get ahead of me
Don’t draw a line
I’ll  change trajectory 
Make our way back to sea
Sirens alarming
hitting so hard
fits to me
and the stories you’ve told
They said everything 
So, 
Don’t get ahead of me
Don’t draw a line
 I’ll change trajectory 
Make our way back to sea

dog and me

Beautiful (Unplugged Acoustic)

a song I put guitar on for my chinese friend 

breakfast in the wind

A song for the prince and my king, my dad. The words remind me of me and my father’s story.

Changes

Verse 1

So much I couldn’t explain
in just one day
will you stay?

It’s hard for me to say
am I too late
or did you fade?

⸻

Bridge

Lost without you, what went wrong?
Chased your shadow, now you’re gone
I can’t find where I belong

⸻

Chorus

I’m losing my mind
can you hear me? It doesn’t feel right
I’m exploding inside
left with all the love you denied

⸻

Verse 2

I’m here with myself again
fighting the pain
driving me insane

A storm inside my brain
I need escape
is that too late?


Lost

Live performance of 'In The Morning' - a brand new track from my upcoming EP, 'Home Grown'.

Joel Gladwell - In The Morning (BBC Music Introducing session)

Proud & Pitless (voice memo)

This piece began as a reflection on age, wonder, and the universe. It carries the bittersweet truth that some of us may not live to see the answers we’ve always longed for the moment the sky finally “answers back.”

But it’s also a message of hope. Our place isn’t measured only by lifetimes. It’s carried forward in the songs we write, in the questions we refuse to let go of, and in the wonder we pass down.

The closing nod to Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star reminds us that curiosity is timeless from the child’s lullaby to the elder’s last reflection, we are joined by a shared yearning to understand.

This isn’t just about stars. It’s about legacy, belonging, and the truth that even if we don’t grow into tomorrow ourselves, a part of us will.

Some of us are too late in the day
To see the gates swing open
To watch the sky answer back

But we’ve left our fingerprints
On the glass of the telescope
Our breath fogging the lens
For the next set of eyes

The truth is our place
Isn’t just measured in lifetimes
It’s carried forward in songs
In questions that refuse to die
In the wonder we hand down

So even if I don’t grow into that tomorrow
A part of me will
In the echoes, in the chords
In the starlight that remembers
We once asked

Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are

Oh, how we wonder

Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star
How I wonder what you are

Oh how we wonder
What you are

Yes we wonder

Footnote to the Stars

I have an ongoing collaboration since 2018 with my friend Michael who lives in both Poland and LA. In the summer of 2025, Michael had a series of sessions with professional musician Avi on both guitar and vocals. I did production work and added bass. Beautiful stuff. This is "Femme Fatale" by Velvet Underground. 

Femme Fatale (MKAvi) 9-18-25

I make music in my studio basement. Rock based music primarily. Been doing music since I was born. I play 10+ instruments
