This song is a thought-provoking reflection on the disparity between the glamorous lives of the wealthy and famous, and the everyday struggles of the working class. The lyrics convey a sense of authenticity and humility, as we acknowledge the harsh realities of our own lives, while also recognizing the superficiality of the wealthy elite. The song's themes of perseverance, self-awareness, and the pursuit of one's own path resonate deeply, inviting listeners to reevaluate their own values and priorities.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1:]
I wake up every morning, before the sun is high
I'm cleaning up after them, while they're flying by
Private jets and mansions, it's a life I'll never know
But I'm the one who's keeping it real, while they're living in a show 

[Chorus:]
Easy easy money, and the fame for free
They're living like royalty, while I'm just trying to be me
I'm working hard every day, while they're playing all night
Easy easy money, and the spotlight shining bright 

[Verse 2:]
I see them on the red carpet, with their perfect smiles and hair
But I'm the one who's keeping it real, without a single care
I'm driving my old van, while they're riding in their limousines
But at the end of the day, I'm the one who's feeling more serene 

[Chorus:]
Easy easy money, and the fame for free
They're living like royalty, while I'm just trying to be me
I'm working hard every day, while they're playing all night
Easy easy money, and the spotlight shining bright 

[Bridge:]
Maybe someday I'll make it big, and I'll be the one on stage
But until then, I'll keep on working, and turning the page
I'll keep on being me, and doing what I do best
And maybe someday, I'll find my own success 

[Chorus:]
Easy easy money, and the fame for free
They're living like royalty, while I'm just trying to be me
I'm working hard every day, while they're playing all night
Easy easy money, and the spotlight shining bright

Inner Turmoil is an inner journey that burns in silence. Like the woman in the photo – bare shoulders, face in shadow and flames etched on her back – this track speaks of the fire we carry inside, hidden behind empty looks and too-long silences. A slow beat, a tension that doesn’t melt.

[Verse]
She paints her face in shades of grey
The mirror cracks but she won't stay
The weight of screams she hides inside
A tidal wave she cannot bide

[Chorus]
And the fire burns beneath her skin
A silent roar she keeps within
A fist clenched tight against the sky
She won't bow down she won't comply

[Verse 2]
The world spins loud a reckless game
She spits the rules won't play the same
Her shadow's loud her voice defies
A thousand truths wrapped up in lies

[Chorus]
And the fire burns beneath her skin
A silent roar she keeps within
A fist clenched tight against the sky
She won't bow down she won't comply

[Bridge]
Her heart's a storm her veins ignite
She dances wild against the night
The chains that bound her now are dust
She's breaking free because she must

[Chorus]
And the fire burns beneath her skin
A silent roar she keeps within
A fist clenched tight against the sky
She won't bow down she won't comply

Inner turmoil

just trust the bass and all will be fine...

Well. Before I forget and because somebody might be interested and because I`m a little talkative at the moment:

EverBlue was born through three phases. The first one as a little piano song. The basic cadence quite usual then opened to something more interesting. Found that quite nice but boring.

But it was nice and…. because I had lost myself in a fabulous indie rock band from Singapore that day, I decided to try something else by adding straight guitars on the 8ts… what led to using another rhythm which I then combined with another rhythm.  Additional layers of strings were attached.  That worked quite ok. What means mehh but showed the right direction. And that was the second phase.

Third phase I killed it all, erased all of the melodic instruments except one e-piano which I fuzzed, delayed and filtered… programmed two synthbass lines, some breaks and added the high hookline for which I then searched for the right sound for hours.

Then I listened and listened and could not stop listening, thought about turning down the bass but decided not to cause I realized that it`s the bass I`m floating on. 

And that’s that story…

Iluso de mí.

Ya ha pasado bastante tiempo
desde que fui tu pasatiempo
hoy no quiero ni siquiera recordar
los días vividos en aquel lugar.

Creo que no me querías
y aunque lo presentía,
no sé por qué te adoraba;
creo me despreciabas
pero si me mirabas
todo se me olvidaba.

¡Ay, qué iluso que fui!
pensé que lo importante
de esta vida era amarse
pero esto no así
porque hay muchas más cosas
que todo lo condicionan
y hay que hacerlas porque sí.

Yo creía que era tu amigo
y no pasé de conocido
pues muy pronto tu orgullo afloró
y con él ¡cómo no! tu reputación.

Creo que te divertías
sin duda a costa mía
junto a tus buenas amigas;
creo también que sufrías
porque sé que era envidia
lo que muy dentro sentías.

¡Ay, qué iluso que fui!
envidia de mi mundo
tan diferente al tuyo
tan presente para mí
que impidió que me saliera
por unas cuantas monedas
con su ayuda te vencí.

Fool that I was.

It's been a long time
since I was your hobby
today I don't even want to remember
the days we lived in that place.

I think you didn't love me
and although I sensed it,
I don't know why I adored you;
I think you despised me
but if you looked at me
I forgot everything.

Oh, how foolish I was!
I thought the important thing
in this life was to love each other
but not so
because there are many more things
that determine everything
and you have to do them just because.

I thought I was your friend
and I didn't go beyond being an acquaintance
because very soon your pride surfaced
and with it, of course! your reputation.

I think you were having fun
no doubt at my expense
with your good friends;
I also think you were suffering
because I know it was envy
that you felt deep inside.

Oh, how foolish I was!
Envy of my world
so different from yours
so present to me
that it prevented me from leaving
for a few coins
with its help I defeated you.

We could be friends still...yea
sometimes I'll be in a moment in my 
mind a fragment of a time when love would
shine...and,
I smile at the distance of the sunshine
and the joy I felt...and U were there
among the clouds smiling by my side
and isn't it odd...how easily we're removed
and slid around the gameboard
cause U got virulence to prove
yea
pawns to play with
words to slay with
...bang ur dead and outta tune
yea...we could be friends still
but u bought a jury
so there's really no hurry
and I'll be chill while U pretend
yea baby, that we're still friends O
and,
I smile at the distance of the sunshine
and the joy I felt...and U were there
among the clouds smiling by my side
and isn't it odd...how easily we're removed
and slid around the gameboard
cause U got virulence to prove
and I got to cut the cord

Among The Clouds

Let me tell you what I could have been

YOURSELF

Songwriting has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to elementary school when I first began crafting stories, poems, and eventually lyrics. As a former drummer in various bands, I always relied on others to bring my words to life musically. However, after a long hiatus from drumming, I decided to take the leap and learn to compose music to accompany my lyrics. Through classes and dedication, I've embarked on a new journey, breathing fresh life into old lyrics and penning new ones. You'll find a mix of older and newer works here, for the lyrics. 

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is being completely entranced by 'The Little Drummer Boy' as a very young child. There was something about the rhythm and the melody that just captivated me. I must have played it a thousand times, wearing the record out, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a drummer, and to create that magic for others. 

But I was too young then, and of course I couldn't afford a drum set just yet. So, I turned to writing as a way to express myself. As I mentioned above, I started with stories, then poems, and eventually, lyrics. I found that writing was not only a way to tap into my creativity, but also a way to process my emotions and experiences. 

As I grew older, my love for music only deepened. I realized that music has this incredible power to transport us to different times and places, to evoke emotions and memories that we thought were long forgotten. It's a universal language that can bring people together like nothing else can. 

For me, writing lyrics is a cathartic experience. It's a way for me to tap into my emotions, to process the world around me, and to create something that I hope will resonate with others. And when I hear my words come to life in a song, it's truly magical. It's a feeling that never gets old, and it's what keeps me coming back to music time and time again. 

I love many genres of music and artists of many genres. And if you listen to some of my songs, you will find that I like to make songs of different genres as well as mix different genres into each song. One of my all-time favorite bands is Evanescence, and I have made a lot of songs where I have tried my best to emulate that sound. 

Now, I have recently started experimenting with new sounds. I never heard of glitch beats before I took music classes, and now I'm fascinated with the sound, so I have been experimenting with glitch beats recently. 

I hope you enjoy some of my songs. And thanks so much to everyone who has been listening so far. I truly appreciate it. I welcome constructive feedback to help me grow as an artist, and I appreciate your support. ❤️

BTW If you follow me, I will ALWAYS follow back. If I like your music, I will follow you, but if you don't follow me back within a week or two, I will unfollow you most of the time. The same goes if I see someone listening to my music, I WILL follow them, however, if they don't follow back within a week or two, I'll unfollow them.  😘
