VARISONIK - Trojan Horse

Album version - Meet The Clown..... / Hiraeth
This song is a story about a childhood sweetheart who passed away, and feeling sad that person never experienced a long life. "I'm not thinking about the life that could have been, but the life you never had. What the hell am I crying for?"

Hiraeth

If I had to pour my heart out to write a song
If I had to thaw my cold heart out I'd tell you I was wrong
If I had to cry my eyes out to bring you back to life
But I can't cry my eyes out or spend that time with you again

You knew exactly what I was thinking
And I figured you out too
It wasn't some secret magic
Just a meeting of beating hearts
Growing older, growing wiser I never saw you again
Love didn't happen. It doesn't matter cause childhood sweethearts rarely stay together anyway
But it was too soon for you to get your angel wings
And I'm gutted that you did
What the hell am I crying for?

Hiraeth, Hiraeth, gone too soon

If I had to pour my heart out to write a song
If I had to thaw my cold heart out I'd tell you I was wrong
If I had to cry my eyes out to bring you back to life
But I can't cry my eyes out or spend that time with you again

You gave me truly happy memories
No I haven't forgot the past
It was a simple summer romance
Till our hearts fell in the fall
Those years passed by so silently
You got married, I got married too, we made the sweetest families of our own
I'm not thinking about the life that could have been, but the life you never had
What the hell am I crying for?

Hiraeth, Hiraeth, gone too soon

If I had to pour my heart out to write a song
If I had to thaw my cold heart out I'd tell you I was wrong
If I had to cry my eyes out to bring you back to life
But I can't cry my eyes out or spend that time with you again

VARISONIK - Meet The Clown..../Hiraeth

Sitting in the park just looking at flowers
It's such a lovely day I'll be there for hours
I just lie there in a deep daydream
I saw that little poster by the ice-cream van that's parked outside
It triggered all those strap-lines that are living rent free in my mind

Go compare my car insurance 
Every little helps at Tesco
Don't just book it Thomas Cook it
Buy it, sell it, love it on eBay

Sitting in the park just looking at flowers
There's a couple holding hands they're not causing any drama
It's a beautiful day for love's sweet dream
I brought my little notepad cause I'd like to write a cute love song
Now I'm writing down the slogans that were on TV when I was small 

Go compare my car insurance 
Every little helps at Tesco
Don't just book it Thomas Cook it
Buy it, sell it, love it on eBay

Sometimes I wonder if I've made the right choices
I bet you can't eat three shredded wheat
I'd rather have a bowl of Coco Pops oh yeah

Sitting in the park just looking at flowers
I seen some mothers walk along the path in pyjamas
I cracked a cheeky smile but they walked straight past me
They're staring at their phones like it's a doorway to another world
So I'll eat my sandwich, drink my tea
Cause I'm happy in my own company

Go compare my car insurance 
Every little helps at Tesco
Don't just book it, Thomas Cook it
Buy it, sell it, love it on ebay
Only the best for the captain's table
I bet he drinks Carling Black Label
Should have gone to Specsavers
Buy it, sell it, love it on eBay 
Get a little Xtra help from the Halifax
America runs on dunkin'
Softness is a thing called Comfort
Buy it, sell it, love it on eBay

The Stifling Nothing

Transactions is a hypnotic dive into the moral economy of modern life where the favors, misbehaviors, and unspoken debts circle through our lives like currency. Anchored by a pulsing drum-and-bass groove and swirling synth layers, the song drifts between confession and reflection, questioning whether good deeds can ever truly balance the scales.

Transactions

Beneath The Ice opens Sorry’s Not Enough in stark, fragile form — just voice and acoustic guitar, with soft delay giving each word a sense of distance and chill. A touch of piano and viola drift in midway, thawing the edges for a moment before retreating back into the cold. It’s a song about distance — emotional, physical, and the slow freeze between two people who’ve forgotten how to reach one another. Stripped to its bones, Beneath The Ice feels both confessional and suspended in time — a quiet heartbreak set against a winter’s hush.

Lyrics

Beneath The Ice

And here you are stepping on the cracks
And here am I trapped beneath the ice
We pretend that it's not over
And that no one ever told us
We don't even notice how we are
The things we say and all the scars that we carry
How did we get here? Can we go back?
The years weren't kind
I've seen how you look at me these days
Beneath the ice

And late at night I gaze across the miles
To the pillow where you're sleeping
Only there 'cos there's no spare bed
I turn to face the wall
As the breeze blows through the window
I'm living here beneath the ice
I'm barely breathing
The colder that my body gets
I lose all feeling
How did we get here? Can we go back?
The years weren't kind
I've seen how you look at me these days
Beneath the ice

Middle 8 – Guitar

And there you are, you don't hear a thing
And there am I, hands over my ears
Time has gently bruised our hearts
As we slowly drift apart
How did we get here? Can we go back?
The years weren't kind
I've seen how you look at me these days
Beneath the ice

These Guitars Say Sorry – Beneath The Ice | Acoustic Folk | Indie Singer-Songwriter | Lo-Fi Folk)

Une musique que je jouais en live pour conclure l'acte 2 de La Princesse de Clèves par Magali Montoya. Cette pièce reprenait en intégral le roman du même nom . Durée 8 heures ! Et c'était très beau. Musique issue dans sa quasi totalité d'une improvisation sur la célèbre suite d'accord des canons de Pachelbel , improvisation que j'ai ensuite intégralement retranscrite. Les racines rock reprennent le dessus sur la 2eme partie dès que s'enclenche la pédale fuzz !!

PACHELBEL

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
