Everywhere in the quiet
plunderphonics folktronica progressive rock, raw gritty indie alternative, glitchy experimental production, prominent prepared piano as emotional anchor, fingerpicked acoustic textures fused with granular synthesis and chopped vocal samples, stuttering glitches, reversed field recordings, warped static and distant radio plunder, intricate shifting time signatures with odd-meter builds, raw intimate male vocals with throatiness and light distortion, dreamlike fragmented long-distance love letter feel, melancholic yet hopeful atmosphere, wide stereo field with thoughtful panning, high-fidelity yet intentionally imperfect and lo-fi crackle in places, dynamic progressive structure with delicate verses exploding into glitch-heavy instrumental breaks, Australian outback wind and static undertones, no clean pop polish, no generic electronic beats, gritty, raw

Lyrics
Intro – glitchy piano + distant static
Don’t get lost in my quiet ways,
my head is steady, no need for show.
I could be drifting low or riding waves,
far on the horizon, but I want you close.
I feel you
Even in my dreaming
When the world goes dark
You fill the space
Verse 1
I might be sinking low or floating high,
lost in the ether, still pulling you near.
I feel you
Even in my dreaming
When the world goes dark
You fill the space
Bridge – magic flight section
And if the wind lifts me up on some wild ride,
watch me signal from the sky so high.
If the signal breaks and the lines go dead,
I’ll find the thread again, let the music spread.
I feel you
Even in my dreaming
When the world goes dark
You fill the space
Instrumental Break – progressive glitch folktronica swell
Verse 2
No matter which path the journey takes,
hold on steady, don’t let fear win.
We’ve got oceans and miles that pull us apart,
but that distance is fine, we’ll still begin.
I feel you
Even in my dreaming
When the world goes dark
You fill the space
When the lights go out
You fill the space
Mmm mmm mmm
Don’t let it scare you, don’t let it scare you
Mmm mmm mmm
Don’t let it scare you, don’t let it scare you
Mmm mmm mmm
Don’t let it scare you, don’t let it scare you
Mmm mmm mmm mmmmm
Verse 3 – Gritty & Intimate
(Vocals closer, almost whispered with light distortion. Piano now bare and slightly out-of-tune for raw emotion. Background: faint continent-sized drone made from stretched field recordings — traffic, wind, static.)
No matter where the road
Is leading us, remember... don't be afraid
We have a continent that sometimes
Comes between us... that's okay...
Final Chorus – Layered & Glitch-Infused Climax
(Full progressive swell. Multiple vocal layers: main gritty lead + ethereal harmonized "fill the space " fragments. Piano drives with pounding chords. Glitches intensify — vocals skip, stutter, and overlap like a failing dream transmission. Plundered "oohs" from various sources weave in and out.)
I love you
Even when I'm dreaming
I feel you
You fill the space
When the world goes dark
You fill the space... [glitch repeats, pitching down slowly]
Oooh Ooh Ooh... [chopped and reversed into a swirling vortex]
Don't be afraid... don't be afraid...
plundered voices layer in: distant echoes, children's playground samples, radio static whispers
Oooh Ooh Ooh...
Don't be afraid... don't be afraid...
Oooh Ooh Ooh Ooh...
Final piano note lingers, detuned and ringing, as all electronics slowly disintegrate into pure static and silence
