An intense and atmospheric instrumental dive where silence weighs as heavily as sound. Each layer breathes tension and reflection — a journey into the beautiful discomfort of emptiness.

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
