LYRICS
Mirror on the wall, it's a little bit wild.
Lipstick tube with a wicked smile.
Cherry red, like a secret spell.
It looks like magic, can you tell?
My heart's doing cartwheels,
in this drugstore light.
I press my lips, I feel something new.
Like I'm glowing inside.
Cherry shine, I crossed that line.
One swipe, I'm walking sky high.
Blush bloom, it's my debut.
In this shade, I'm someone new.
Cherry shine.
Cherry shine.
I blow a kiss to the world outside.
Lip print on my soda, and I don't hide.
A little color, a little brave.
Something sweet I get to save.
Cherry shine, I crossed that line.
One swipe, I'm walking sky high.
Blush bloom, it's my debut.
In this shade, I'm someone new.
Cherry shine.
Cherry shine.
Just a girl
in Cherry Shine.
Stepping out into a time.

CHERRY SHINE

A melancholic piece drifting between memory and reality. "She said" blends dusty lo-fi textures with soft jazz harmonies and spacious atmospheres. A deep, pulsing bassline anchors gentle chords, while a distant voice hints at an emotional story — one that’s never fully told.

Perfect for late-night walks, smoky reflections, or quiet moments in the half-light.

She Said

For those who have endured the Holocaust's unfathomable trauma, the iconic span helps reflect the profound strength and willpower needed to overcome such depths of human atrocity. (~feat. AI)

Here With Me 

Verse 1: Guitar - G > em > C > D | Mando – D > C# minor 7th chord 

What can I do, what can I say, we just want to go out and play 

In the park, in the yard, though our hearts are mighty scarred 

I’m just a boy, you’re just a girl, spinning round on the tilt-a-whirl 

Round and round and round we go, where we’ll land no one knows 

 

Chorus: am7 > Aadd9 | G > A 

Life is just a blur it seems, but you’re standing next to me 

We can get through anything 

Be here now, be here with me 

 

Between: G > em G > em > G > em > G > em 

 

Verse 2: G > em > C > D 

What can I do, what can I say, I know nothing stays the same 

Under this moon, under these stars, long as we can, and just as far 

I’m just a girl, you’re just a boy, hand in hand, hang on to the joy 

Day by day, the years go by, all this time just to say goodbye. 

 

Chorus: am7 > Aadd9 

Life is just a blur it seems, but you’re standing next to me 

We can get through anything 

Be here now, be here with me 

 

Instrumental Bridge: (Stays on G chord framing) G > B > C > B > am (repeat 4x w/ swelling melodic harmonies heavy in reverb) 

 

Between: G > em G > em > G > em > G > em 

 

Verse 3: G > em > C > D 

What did Dad do, what did Mom say, stay young, be kind, choose love, go play 

It’s a crazy world and that’s okay, the two of you make it a better place 

The day will come when we’ll be gone, side-by-side we know that you’ll be strong 

Don’t let the time pull you away, best friends, you and I, our family stays 

  

Chorus: am7 > Aadd9 

Life is just a blur it seems, but you’re standing next to me 

We can get through anything 

Be here now, be here with me 

 

Between: G > em G > em > G > em > G > em
