“Timeless” by Bluesomn 

“Timeless” tells the story of a person who feels trapped in time, unable to move forward and unable to go back; it is musically connected to our song “Haunted House,” which was the band’s first single. *All the songs that will be part of our debut album (to be released in October of this year) are interconnected and represent different parts of the story, which revolves around a person experiencing the grief of a relationship. The haunted house is a metaphor for the protagonist’s mind, and the ghosts, along with various elements of the house, represent the memories and experiences of the relationship. “Timeless” is the nostalgia stage and the feeling of emptiness, the moment when you know that you’ll have to live without that person because things have changed.

No More Heroes – TheUnbornBand 

A dynamic song of vocal melody and guitar effects. A rollercoaster instrumental. Inspiration for the vocals and lyrics are the vocalist accepting a diagnosis of 2 auto immune diseases. “

It starts out with a haunting tremolo guitar riff, backed by a ghostly synth and quickly shows it sound layer by layer. Written, mixed and produced by me (Dan Carrillo), this was my biggest project (most man hours).

Inspired by my battle with 2 auto immune diseases, I wanted to put my deep emotions of dealing with that into a song. Perhaps that is why it was hard to eventually let go and say goodbye to this project. Suffering in silence, or suffering unknowingly (both extremely common in auto-immune), and constantly dealing with good days and bad days was an emotion I wanted to convey, but also not directly. This song will mean different things to different people, and I’m OK with that.

The last minute of the song might even surprise you.
