Radio
What defines ‘Radio’ as the song it is? Hook, hook, hook! “Radio” is a high-energy drum and bass track driven by pulsating rhythms, deep bass lines, and vocal delivery. The verses carry a hypnotic intensity, with the lyrics painting a story of obsession, control, and desire.
A later addition, the ad-lib melody in the background became essential to the track’s flow, weaving into the beat and adding depth to the atmosphere. The production layers percussion, rolling bass, and atmospheric synths, creating a dynamic contrast between tension and release. The chorus hits with impact, making “Radio” as infectious as it is immersive.

Vienna
This song is a spirited yet slightly ironic response to Billy Joel’s Vienna, told from the perspective of a young person who has misunderstood the advice he was trying to give. Instead of slowing down and letting life unfold, the narrator is restless, chasing dreams with an almost reckless optimism.
The verses paint a picture of a wanderer determined to keep moving, even without a clear destination but equally feeling they are owed something by the world, often questioning their luck in life. By the time the chorus returns, the song’s title question—”Billy, what am I supposed to do now?”—becomes almost ironic. The narrator has, in a way, done the exact opposite of what Vienna advised, running at full speed instead of pacing themselves. The song captures that youthful stubbornness, where the lesson hasn’t quite sunk in yet, making it a fitting, almost defiant counterpoint to Joel’s original wisdom.
Musically, the track likely blends folk-country storytelling with a lively undercurrent, —playful on the surface but layered with reflection underneath

Poor Little Me
The song opens with a heavy electric guitar riff that sets the tone for an intense, dystopian sound, immediately pulling the listener into a dark, chaotic world. The sharp distortion and powerful hook create an atmosphere of tension, reflecting the inner turmoil of the artist.
The guitar, with its gritty edge, complements the song’s themes of addiction and loss, mirroring the emotional landscape of a person struggling to break free from a destructive cycle. “Down the slope, bound to choke on my dystopia” illustrates the downward spiral of addiction, while “Take my worth to Charon’s souls” invokes the myth of the ferryman, suggesting the narrator has already paid the price for their choices. The reference to “Charon’s souls” adds a haunting layer, likening addiction to a journey to the afterlife—one that feels irreversible, as though the narrator is already in too deep to escape.
The closing lines highlight a conflict between redemption and escapism: the narrator wants to believe in the possibility of peace, yet nothing seems to offer relief greater than the temporary euphoria addiction provides.

HARBOUR
Sometimes the music just takes you to a place where a vocal line and lyrics would just get in the way.
I see these tracks as ideal for supporting TV/Video/Movie/Animation/Gaming or gaming projects.
