Find A Song that captures the ups and downs of artistic love

Jake Marsh - the painter

“the painter” written and produced by Jake Marsh, taps into the magic and uncertainty of dating a creative—a person who is both muse and mystery. Jake explores what it would be like to fall in love with someone so full of artistic energy, yet with the looming fear that he’d somehow ruin the connection. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship where every moment feels like a masterpiece, from the "cotton candy swirls" of sunsets to the "brush strokes" that linger in both memory and reality. There's a deep sense of admiration for how this person stitches life's disconnected moments into a beautiful tapestry, but also the haunting realization that, just like paint, their love can easily "wash away." This track captures the ups and downs of artistic love—where fleeting moments of beauty, regret, and the hope for something lasting all get mixed together.

Find A Song about finding your tribe

Sohodolls - Thread

Sohodolls are back once again to tease their long-awaited forthcoming new album with another highly intoxicating single. “Thread” is a song about finding your tribe and celebrating your non-blood family. It's a playful song about those of us who are very passionate, slightly eccentric, maniacally driven and who don’t conform to societal norms. It touches on trauma and how that can influence who we flock to in a positive way - our tribe, that common language that form powerful and stable bonds.

Find A Song based on nostalgia

Cosmic Gloss - Dance Throne

This long-lived and simple yet fun song not only stands out for its ability to bring together the elements of the forthcoming album but also for its ability to evoke both lightness and longing in listeners.

The story is mainly based on feelings… nostalgia being a main one - a kind of self-nostalgia when reflecting upon life and your connections with people as well as your connection with yourself.

Find A Song about the peculiarity of being loved or understood

Michele Ducci - It's Hard to be Easily Loved

Like a warm blanket on a foggy autumn evening, ‘It’s Hard to be Easily Loved’ envelops you in Ducci’s softly purring vocals, backed by sparsely strummed nylon guitar. The chorus ramps up the warmth with the addition of Letizia Mandolesi’s softly vocalised ‘Aaahs’. Yet another pensive beauty from Michele Ducci’s impressive solo catalogue.

Says Ducci, “I was improvising with the nylon guitar while it was raining and slowly It’s Hard to Be Easily Loved began to form. It’s the first song among other unpublished songs that I’m doing live and that will be released at the beginning of next year.

Being loved or understood, at times, seems to work like those strange crossings that are the changes of the season, or like falling asleep. It can be very difficult and seems to happen, if it happens and when it happens, out of time. So every expectation appears to be a useless expense. A nylon and paw-legged organ song came out of it that reminds me of the yellow fog that makes the paraeidoly of a cat in the poem The Love Song of A.J. Prufrock by Elliot:

“Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap, And seeing that it was a soft October night, Curled once about the house, and fell asleep.”

Find A Song that is a conversation with the shadows

Michael Lane - Run Away

„At its core, this song is a conversation with the shadows—the ones that linger after someone leaves, and the ones that live inside us. It’s an exploration of the spaces between connection and absence, where love morphs into longing, and hope into a quiet, unresolved question. The refrain is simple, but the weight behind it is profound: "Will you be my friend?" A question as much for the other as it is for oneself—seeking comfort, perhaps even from the ghost of who we used to be.

The song follows the fragments of a relationship that seem to dissolve like morning mist, elusive and untouchable, yet the memory lingers in each breath, in each step outside, in every sip taken to numb the edges of reality. The door slams, the keys vanish, and yet the heart stays rooted, tethered to the belief that the return is inevitable.

Maybe it’s not about the other person at all. Maybe the song is about finding a way back to oneself after all that’s been lost. A cycle of breaking and mending, asking and answering, loving and losing—again and again, until we’re ready to walk out into the sun.“ - Michael Lane

Find A Song about endings and beginnings

A Shoreline Dream ft. Mark Gardener - Hollow Crown

Riding a beautiful wave of collaboration with Ride frontman Mark Gardener, Colorado-based postpunk / shoegaze trailblazers A Shoreline Dream presents their newvideo for'Hollow Crown' feat. Mark Gardener. Apart from contributing vocals and guitar, this release entails a full-on collaboration - from co-writing and recording through to co-production - between Gardener and A Shoreline Dream frontman Ryan Policky.

Earlier the two presented two collaborative singles'Everything Turns' and 'Written In Dust', both reverie-laced trips revealed as part of A Shoreline Dream's new 'Whitelined' album - their eighth full-length record to date.

“Ryan wouldn't have had a clue what was going to happen until I got the tunes from him. That was the starting point and Ryan sent me quite a few different tunes and instrumentals that he was pulling together. Out of those, there was two or three which I just suddenly latched on to and obviously the first one that really drove and led the way was 'Everything Turns'. For me, that's kind of perfect because I like to live in the present," says Mark Gardener.

"Obviously I love being in Ride, but that is also tricky because we have a catalogue, so we have to kind of live in the past sometimes, as well as being present. So I actually love being in my OX4 Soundstudio, which I created a few years ago, and to be sent music like this. This was a real treat and it's an honour to be tasked with trying to sit and marry words with music in a way that hopefully feels that they've always been there and have always been meant to be there".

Find A Song that is a rowdy, wide-eyed, drinking track

Skinny Lister - Set Us Straight

“‘Set us Straight’ is another Skinny Lister ode to the traditional public house, but this time it’s personal! We’ve painted a scene in the lyrics that features a bunch of good Skinny friends. The mentioned Guyer - who is a great friend as well as fan of the band - has attended well over 100 Skinny shows - now that’s dedication - cheers Guyer! Lorna is also in there dancing on the table while Billy (aka Party George’s ‘William Harker’) picks the diddle on his guitar. There’s also a nod to the delicious ‘Lorna’s Hammer’ cocktail, which was created by another good friend Scott - in honour of Lorna’s car destroying behaviour in our video ‘Devil In Me’.... it’s primarily a song about sharing some good times with good friends, and a reflection of the ongoing Skinny party.  It’s also a fun track to play live - so expect to hear it in our upcoming UK Tour…”
