"It's a beautiful day! Sometimes life is hard but there's always a way" - NoelNico

The following are some of my original tunes. To hear the preview, use the play button.

I wake up to an empty room. The silence feels so cold.

Your laughter used to fill this space. Memories are becoming old.

I walk the streets we used to roam; your shadow’s by my side.

The days go on; I’m all alone. My heart can’t break this tide.

I’m calling you, but you’re not there. This pain just won’t subside.

My soul is calling out your name. With nowhere left to hide.

Longing for you, every single day,

My heart is breaking where you used to stay.

Longing for you, the nights feel so long.

Pain is as deep like an old song.

Longing for you, in the empty space,

Love lingers in every place.

Longing for you, burning in my chest,

I need you back so my heart can rest.

The coffee shop we used to sit still smells of rainy days.

I see your smile in every cup. But you’re so far away.

The radio plays our favorite song.

It pulls me back to then. I wonder if you feel the same.

Or if I’m lost again.

Time keeps moving, but I'm still stuck. Caught in dreams of you.

Every heartbeat screams your name. What am I supposed to do?

Longing for you, every single day,

My heart is breaking where you used to stay.

Longing for you, the nights feel so long.

Pain is as deep like an old song.

Longing for you, in the empty space,

Love lingers in every place.

Longing for you, burning in my chest,

I need you back so my heart can rest.

"Longing for You" is a soul-stirring pop song that captures the raw ache of missing someone who once meant everything.

A cool breeze flows through the air. The room feels chilly, crisp, and fair.

Is the AC on? Or is it me? Imagining winds that roam so free. Oohh

When I close my eyes, the coldness calls. Rain taps softly as my memory falls.

I thought about my childhood, where I felt so free. When the rain falls, it pulls those days to me

The breeze hums low, easy, and light.

This bossa nova groove lifts me just right.

I'm not sure what to do. Is it TV or radio?

When the rain falls, it makes my feelings glow.

The air whispers softly and gently. This groove lifts me up just nicely.

I don't care if it's real or just in my brain. But when the rain falls, the feeling is not the same.

Rainfall, rainfall, rainfall, rainfall, rainfall, rainfall, Oohh

"When The Rain Falls" is a smooth and nostalgic bossa nova-infused tune that captures the serene beauty of a rainy day.

When We Were Young is a tender, nostalgic ballad that reflects on the innocence of childhood and the bittersweet passage of time. The track blends heartfelt storytelling with a warm, melodic arrangement that feels both intimate and universal.

The lyrics paint vivid snapshots of carefree days—barefoot summers, chasing fireflies, and the simple joy of play—contrasted against the responsibilities of adulthood. The chorus becomes a wistful refrain, reminding us of a time when life felt pure, problems seemed distant, and every day stretched endlessly.

Musically, the song balances gentle verses with soaring choruses, allowing it to carry the emotional weight of longing and gratitude. It’s a piece that invites listeners to close their eyes, remember the child they once were, and cherish the fleeting beauty of yesterday.

When We Were Young is more than a song—it’s a memory set to music, a reminder that even as we chase dreams and face the demands of life, the spirit of youth still lives within us.

When we were young. Life has no meaning at all

We eat, sleep, and play. Too tired until we fall

Barefoot in the summer grass. Chasing fireflies until dark

Mama calling from the porch. Didn’t know we had enough

Time was slow and days were long. We never thought they’d be gone.

Chorus:

When we were young we never thought about the problems

When we were young we didn't think so much to care

When we were young it seems life was pure

When we were young we were unaware

Now we are chasing dreams. Paying bills and in-between

Sometimes I close my eyes and see. That kid I used to be.

If I could go back just for a day. I’d swing higher, laugh louder,

I’d run wild and free. Thank the stars for yesterday

Chorus:

When we were young we never thought about the problems

When we were young we didn't think so much to care

When we were young it seems life was pure

When we were young we were unaware

When we were young we never thought about the problems

When we were young we didn't think so much to care

When we were young it seems life was pure

When we were young, those days were ours to share.

I see myself in the mirror. I’m not the same man as before

A young man full of confidence. Ready to take on the world and more

Now I'm getting old. I'm not sure what the future holds

Whenever I look at the mirror. I see a stranger staring back, cold

Mirror, can you lie to me? Just for a moment so I can see

The man I used to be. Can you please show him to me?

Mirror, even just for a day. I’m begging you to show me.

Who I used to be. Mirror, won’t you lie to me?

These wrinkles map my journey's course. From wild fantasies to endless scores

Each line tells a story I can't erase. Quietly engraved, right in my face

The mirror keeps track of passing time. Reshaping vivid colors to dull gray lines

But a spark still burns inside my eyes. Of a flame that never truly dies

Mirror, can you lie to me? Just for a moment so I can see

The man I used to be. Can you please show him to me?

Mirror, even just for a day. I’m begging you to show me.

Who I used to be. Mirror, won’t you lie to me?

Mirror, even just for a day. I’m begging you to show me.

Who I used to be. Mirror, won’t you lie to me?

“Mirror” is a deeply introspective song that explores the passage of time, identity, and self-reflection. Through poignant lyrics, the song contrasts youthful confidence with the uncertainty of aging, painting the mirror as both a witness and a judge of change. The narrator pleads for the mirror to “lie” and show the person they once were, while acknowledging the wrinkles and fading colors that mark life’s journey. Despite the melancholy tone, the song closes with a spark of resilience—a flame that refuses to die, symbolizing hope and inner strength.

This track resonates with anyone who has grappled with the bittersweet reality of growing older, making it both personal and universal. Its emotional depth and lyrical storytelling make it a powerful song of reflection and acceptance.

“Lazy Afternoon” drifts through the quiet beauty of everyday stillness. With soft bossa nova rhythms and lyrics that paint scenes of sunlight through blinds, a cat curled on your legs, and the gentle surrender to doing nothing at all, it’s a soundtrack for slowing down. The tune blends warmth, subtle groove, and poetic honesty—inviting listeners to embrace the art of pause.

Sun’s sneaking in, real slow, through the blinds

Coffee went cold; I don’t even mind

No plans today, just letting it slide

Feels like my brain hit the snooze one more time

Cat’s sprawled out heavy on my legs again

Thinking I should move, it’s not happening

Maybe it’s the heat, or not sleeping right

Or those tiny worries that snuck in last night

Lazy afternoon, yeah I’m done. No rush, no list, nowhere to run

World keeps turning, that’s fine with me. I’m just here swaying, lazy as can be

Tomorrow I’ll fix it, I swear I will

Make a list or something or pay the bills

But right now? This feels kinda nice

Just me, the breeze, and closing my eyes

Lazy afternoon, yeah I’m done. No rush, no list, nowhere to run

World keeps turning, that’s fine with me. I’m just here swaying, lazy as can be

Lazy, lazy, lazy, lazy, lazy afternoon

There is a time to say hello. There comes a time to say goodbye

What matters most is not how long we've known each other

But the time we’ve spent together—

All of the laughs that we have shared. Both the happiness and tears

We haven't seen you in a long time my friends

And as the years go by only memories remain.

To all our friends that we have lost

Their memories will live forever

Yes it’s sad they are not around us anymore

They are in a better place looking down on us once more

To everyone of our departed friends

You will never be forgotten

Though you are no longer with us

We are very pleased and proud to call you friends.

Feel the heat of the morning sun, while we walk together in the sand.

Put your hand in my hand and let me show you the way to

Paradise, the place we wanted to stay

Don’t say a word; just keep holding me tight

We’ll be staying here until the sun’s out of sight

Just listen to the birds as they sing with delight

As if they’re telling me you’re going to love me tonight.

This is paradise. Do you like it?

This is paradise

This is paradise! Oh, what a wonderful place!

But this can’t compare with your beautiful face

I can feel the heat all over this place

But it can’t compare with your warm embrace

Simply listen to the wind as it shouts your name

As if it’s telling you that my love will remain.

I saw you in the street today, Walking with someone new

You seemed to be happy. After everything you'd been through

You seemed delighted to see me. Happy that I met him, too.

As you introduced him to me, I felt sorry as I looked at you.

Best friend that’s all I’ll ever be

Just friends loving you quietly

Best friend, that’s all you’ll ever see

Just friends, keeping everything inside of me

I smiled and said, “I’m happy for you.” Like nothing ever changed

But watching you with someone new Still burns the same

I’ll keep every secret. I’ll stay through the years

I’ll cheer from the sidelines, swallowing all my tears

Just friends loving you quietly

Your reputation will go down

Down down down

Why don't we try to help each other

Rather than condemning one another

Respect others for standing their ground

Instead of trying to bring them down

Down down down

You said you wanna be alone

But I'm not sure whether that's really what you want

Or you don't want me to go

‘Coz you keep holding me so tight

I can feel every single beat of your heart

So you don’t want me to go?

Sometimes the future is not that hard to see

So what is it gonna be?

I am waiting, waiting to hear what you have to say.

Should I leave you alone or do you want me to stay?

Don’t get confused; just follow your heart

Everything will be alright whatever you decide.

I am waiting, waiting. How long is it gonna be?

If you feel that you love him, I simply want to be free

If you just want me to stay to mend your heart

Then I just leave you alone and make a brand new start.

You didn’t say a word or two

Just started crying after hearing what I had to say

You really got me confused

But you’re still holding me so tight

I can feel the tears rolling down from your eyes

Is that too much to decide?

Sometimes the future is not that hard to see

Please tell me what is it gonna be?

I am waiting, waiting to hear what you have to say.

Should I leave you alone or do you want me to stay?

Don’t get confused; just follow your heart

Everything will be alright whatever you decide.

I am waiting, waiting. How long is it gonna be?

If you feel you love him, I simply want to be free

If you just want me to stay to mend your heart

Then I just leave you alone and make a brand new start.
