The Year That Left Me is my 17th single—a new darkwave song (and video) I created right here in my home studio. It's raw and personal. I've always liked working with a lo-fi/DIY vibe. This song has haunted me for years. It’s based on a real-life experience, but in a way, I think it’s also your story—a story we all share, one that stays with us forever.
'The Year That Left Me' is available on Bandcamp and will be released on Spotify and 150+ platforms on 2025.01.12. Follow on Spotify and Bandcamp to stay updated.

⬛️ 🕯 Lyrics
Verse 1:
Echoes of last year’s laughs haunt the walls,
Their voices float like smoke in the cold.
I trace their shadows on the glass,
But the night won’t tell what the morning stole.
Verse 2:
I poured my heart where the clock hands bled,
Lit candles for faces I’ll never see.
Your name still burns on my trembling lips—
Your trace cuts deep, a wound I can't escape
Chorus:
The year dies screaming in velvet shrouds,
I still need love—I still need you.
A blackbird drowns in the bells’ last sound,
But I now drown in the coldest sea.
The year dies screaming in velvet shrouds,
I still need love- i still need you.
I died the moment you past away,
my love, my love, nothing remains.
Verse 3:
I drift like a ghost with no home to find,
Lost in the ruins your silence made.
The clocks keep turning, but time won’t heal—
You left with the year that abandoned me.
Chorus x 2
