Something

Hot Wired Hearts

"Downhill" is a rock/pop anthem rooted in the frustration and heartbreak of watching a once-stable connection unravel. Inspired (surprisingly) by a fallout with my ex-landlord, the song explores shifting dynamics, emotional confusion, and the sting of unmet expectations. While it sounds like a breakup song—and is framed like one—it was actually born from a non-romantic fallout, which is part of my songwriting signature: turning everyday conflicts into grand anthems.

Produced by Jay Ives, Downhill blends gritty rock instrumentation with a polished pop structure and a soaring, catchy hook. Its dynamic build mirrors the inner turmoil of navigating miscommunication and power shifts in any kind of relationship—romantic, professional, or otherwise. It’s for anyone who’s ever felt blindsided by someone they once trusted.

Lyrics:

VERSE 1

We met the first time
And you were all smiles
I had great plans for us
Could be good friends, and then some
I wasn't looking for nobody new
But I was starting to 
warm up to you

PRECHORUS
Then you started mind-twisting
And you like to play the victim
The lies started out white, then turned gray
Now they're so dark, I can't find my way

CHORUS (x2)
I feel, I feel
Us go downhill
I build, I build
So you could break it down again

VERSE 2
I thought I got you
One moment you're so good
But then the very next
you're acting so sketch
You went back on everything you said
Went from rosy pink to seeing red

PRECHORUS
You have such a good facade
I wanna know who the architect was
Once so nice, not so much twice
I won't stay around for thrice 

CHORUS (x2)
I feel, I feel
Us go downhill
I build, I build
So you could break it down again

BRIDGE
We both got our lasts
You got the word 
and I had had the straw

Every word flashes past
The lessons learnt
The storms I saw     
         
CHORUS (x2)
I feel, I feel
Us go downhill
I build, I build
So you could break it down again

OUTRO(x2)
I feel, I feel, I feel, I
Feel us go downhill
I build, I build, I build, I
So you could break it down again

Downhill

Before Sunrise

Little Voices doesn’t explode – it simmers.

This dark reggaeton-infused chill pop track explores the quiet storm of inner conflict. Tropical grooves pulse beneath whispered vocals, while cinematic textures and ambient tension wrap the listener in a seductive kind of unease. It's a song suspended between light and shadow – slow-burning, sensual, and immersive.

“Little Voices” moves with quiet intensity – pulsing, restrained, and hypnotic. It’s a song that doesn’t seek attention but pulls you in, with subtle rhythms and a voice that carries more than it says. A soundtrack for moments that stay just under the skin.

More than just chill pop, “Little Voices“ is a mood piece – part confession, part mirage – made for slow dances in dark rooms, after-midnight headphones, and playlists where introspection sways to a beat.

A fever dream you can move to – delicate, haunting, unforgettable.

Genre: Dark Reggaeton / Chill Pop / Cinematic Electronica

"The Anchor in the Gale" - An Epic 90s Metal Rock Ballad

From Beyond & Before Music, this is "The Anchor in the Gale" – an epic, nearly 8-minute 90s-style Metal Rock Ballad that takes the listener on a profound emotional journey.

While inspired by the overarching themes of the novel "Hinter uns das Land" / "Behind Us The Land", this song tells a universal story. It's about feeling lost in the storms of life, searching for a truth that won't fail, and grappling with the ghosts of the past. It's a journey from inner turmoil to the final realization that the true anchor lies within oneself.

Musically, the song builds from a haunting piano intro, led by the emotional baritone vocals of André, to powerful, full-band choruses with soaring guitars and choir effects. The narrative is deepened by the mystical, whispered voice of Adelheide, who acts as a guide. The track features an extended, melodic guitar solo and culminates in a massive, orchestral finale, reflecting the journey from despair to triumphant self-realization.

This is a song about resilience, inner strength, and the hope that can be found even after the greatest losses.

"The Anchor in the Gale" - Eine epische 90s Metal Rock Ballade

Von Beyond & Before Music kommt "The Anchor in the Gale" – eine epische, fast 8-minütige Metal-Rock-Ballade im Stil der 90er Jahre, die den Hörer auf eine tiefgründige emotionale Reise mitnimmt.

Obwohl von den übergeordneten Themen des Romans "Hinter uns das Land" inspiriert, erzählt dieser Song eine universelle Geschichte. Es geht darum, sich im Sturm des Lebens verloren zu fühlen, nach einer unumstößlichen Wahrheit zu suchen und mit den Geistern der Vergangenheit zu ringen. Es ist eine Reise vom inneren Aufruhr bis zur finalen Erkenntnis, dass der wahre Anker in einem selbst liegt.

Musikalisch baut sich der Song von einem ergreifenden Intro aus Klavier, geführt von der emotionalen Baritonstimme von André, zu kraftvollen Refrains mit voller Band, hymnischen Gitarren und Choreffekten auf. Die Erzählung wird durch die mystische, geflüsterte Stimme von Adelheide vertieft, die als eine Art Führerin fungiert. Das Stück beinhaltet ein ausgedehntes, melodisches Gitarrensolo und gipfelt in einem gewaltigen, orchestralen Finale, das die Reise von der Verzweiflung zur triumphalen Selbsterkenntnis widerspiegelt.

Dies ist ein Lied über Resilienz, innere Stärke und die Hoffnung, die auch nach den größten Verlusten gefunden werden kann.

Musik & Konzept: Beyond & Before Music
Gesang: André (Lead), Adelheide (Mystische Stimme)

MAJOR LAZER FEAT. ELLIE GOULDING & TARRUS RILEY - POWERFUL (LEKS BEATS REMIX)

Hi, I'm Shaun from North East UK. VARISONIK isn't a band but a solo project that began in early 2022. Back then I had a strong desire to create my own style of alt-rock and alt-pop songs, and found the freedom of going alone is a bonus for creating new songs, as I get to write, compose, play instruments, and produce all of my music and promo videos, which is a lot of work at times but I love doing it. I have released a substantial amount of songs over the last three years so please check them out. VARISONIK playlists can be found on YouTube and Soundcloud, as well as other social media sites. Thank you for checking out my blog and hope you like what you hear! 

Thanks,

Shaun Varisonik
