Lonely Nights — Beatbo’☓’ Version

This remix is a completely new experience for me.

Instead of reworking the original energy, I chose to strip everything back — leaving only breath, voice, and the human body as rhythm.

Lonely Nights became a fragile space:

a quiet dialogue between a crystalline voice and a raw, instinctive beatbox — not to perform, but to breathe.

This version is not about overcoming loneliness.

It’s about standing inside it, exposed, and allowing the cold air in.

Original music by Donut 🤍

P.S. I tried my best with the animation…

As a professional carpenter, seeing a window open from the outside still hurts a little — but sometimes art wins over mechanics 😅

Lyric:

-------

Spent too many nights with silence

Shadows filling up my room

I’ve been learning to keep fighting

Just to breathe and face the truth

Can’t keep waiting

My heart’s aching

For somebody

Or maybe just me

Lonely’s getting old, I’m breathing free

No more empty space, it’s time for me

I won’t chase the dark, I’ll chase the light

I’m done with lonely nights

Every clock keeps ticking louder

I don’t wanna waste more time

If love’s a flame, I need the fire

To finally feel it mine

Can’t keep waiting

My heart’s aching

For somebody

Or maybe just peace

Lonely’s getting old, I’m breathing free

No more empty space, it’s time for me

I won’t chase the dark, I’ll chase the light

I’m done with lonely nights

Lonely had its hold on me

But I won’t let it fade the dream

I know love is meant to be

And it’s calling, calling me

Lonely’s getting old, I’m breathing free

No more empty space, it’s time for me

I won’t chase the dark, I’ll chase the light

I’m done with lonely nights

Lonely’s getting old (ouh…)

Lonely’s getting old (mmh…)

Stronger than before

I don’t need it anymore
