Almost Beautiful
Sand Castle of Ma
Yeah
Almost beautiful
You left your shadow
On the passenger side
Like a quiet ending
At a red street light
I kept the moment
But I lost the weight
Of waiting for something
That was already late
Now days feel lighter
When the hope runs out
I hear my own voice
A little less loud
And I don’t hate you
That takes too much room
I just stopped turning
The sky into you
Maybe we were young
Maybe we were tired
Maybe love got lost
Somewhere in the wires
I don’t need a reason
I don’t need a sign
I just need tonight
To feel like mine
It was almost beautiful
Almost good enough
Almost like a movie
Almost like love
We were almost honest
Almost made it through
Almost had forever
Then forever moved
And I’m not broken
I’m just new
It was almost beautiful
Losing you
Oh-oh
Almost beautiful
Oh-oh
Almost beautiful
I saw your name
On a screen last night
It didn’t hurt me
Like I thought it might
Just a small old feeling
Passing through
Like a song from a car
That never stops for you
I walked for hours
Under changing signs
No big confession
No perfect line
Just a quiet freedom
I never planned
Like letting go
Without using my hands
Maybe we were close
Maybe we were blind
Maybe love looks better
From the other side
I don’t need an answer
I don’t need a fight
I just need my heart
To sleep tonight
It was almost beautiful
Almost good enough
Almost like a movie
Almost like love
We were almost honest
Almost made it through
Almost had forever
Then forever moved
And I’m not broken
I’m just new
It was almost beautiful
Losing you
I won’t call it wasted
I won’t call it wrong
Some people are chapters
That read too long
I won’t make you guilty
I won’t make me small
We were almost something
And that’s something after all
Almost beautiful
Almost true
Almost everything
I wanted with you
Almost beautiful
Almost gone
I can still remember
But I can move on
It was almost beautiful
Almost good enough
Almost like a movie
Almost like love
We were almost honest
Almost made it through
Almost had forever
Then forever moved
And I’m not broken
I’m just new
It was almost beautiful
Losing you
Oh-oh
Almost beautiful
Oh-oh
Almost beautiful
Mm
Almost beautiful
Losing you

Under the Moonlight
Santiago Cruzado
The waves don't ask where you've gone
But they whisper your name till dawn
The fire crackles like your laugh
I sit with silence cut in half
Barefoot in the sand no one around
Just your memory making sound
On this shore by this flame
I trace your smile in the stars again
No phone no light no plan tonight
Just me the tide and soft moonlight
And when your face drifts into view
I breathe a word I saved for you
Your sweater still smells like wind
I wrap it tighter pretend again
The logs fall in the sparks rise high
But nothing burns like your goodbye
I talk to shadows like they're you
Like love could echo if it wanted to
On this shore by this flame
I trace your smile in the stars again
No phone no light no plan tonight
Just me the tide and soft moonlight
And when your face drifts into view
I breathe a word I saved for you
Maybe one day you’ll come back here
Follow the firelight through the fear
But until then I’ll sing to the blue
This lonely word… still meant for you

Just Like That
Checkmate
Verified Artist
Checkmate
Checkmate formed in London out of restlessness rather than intention. Different neighborhoods, different backgrounds, same impulse: to move, to react, to play music that refuses to stand still. Ska was never a costume for them, it was a language. Fast rhythms, sharp turns, humor used as defiance. They grew up surrounded by noise, contradictions, and crowded streets, and their sound reflects that constant motion.
Their music is playful but not careless, political without slogans, chaotic but precise. Each member brings a different energy, and none of them try to smooth those edges out.
Checkmate thrives on contrast: bright melodies against nervous tension, joy next to disruption. What comes out is loud, physical, and alive. Their releases are heard only on Filodyo and NOT FM, where movement matters more than polish and nothing is forced to sit quietly in the background.
Just Like That
Checkmate
Bus is late but the sun is out
Someone’s laughing way too loud
Corner shop knows my face
Same old song same old place
Shoelace broke still on time
Found a coin lost my mind
Nothing special nothing deep
But today’s been good to me
Radio plays that beat again
Head goes left feet say “amen”
I wasn’t looking for a sign
But the street feels right in time
Life’s doing fine yeah look around
Sticky tables familiar sounds
Not a movie not a plan
Just a good day where I stand
Life’s doing fine no big parade
Just walking slow no rush today
If this is all I’m cool with that
Yeah I like it just like that
Coffee spills laugh it off
Wrong turn but I don’t stop
Shoes too tight shirt’s too thin
Still smiling when I walk in
Someone hums the tune I know
Traffic moves then says hello
Nothing changed still feels new
Guess the trick is how you view
No winning streak no finish line
Just wasting time and feeling fine
If this moment’s all I get
I’m not mad at it yet
Life’s doing fine yeah look around
Bent street signs old beat-up towns
Not a headline not a scam
Just a good day where I stand
Life’s doing fine no big parade
Late night talks cheap lemonade
If this is all I’m cool with that
Yeah I like it just like that
Maybe tomorrow’s loud and rough
But today’s already enough
No promises no advice
Just breathing in a decent life
Life’s doing fine hear that horn
Someone dancing someone bored
Not a dream not a trap
Just a moment and I’ll clap
Life’s doing fine I’ll say it twice
Not perfect but it’s nice
If this is all I’m cool with that
Yeah I love it just like that
Just like that
Yeah just like that

Chasing The Rhythm
Nana Bear
Shadows dance where the skyline bends
Concrete veins with a life that blends
A thousand faces stories collide
Searching for meaning in the great divide
Fingers trace lines on a screen of glass
Moments captured but they never last
Every heartbeat a fragile thread
Holds the weight of words unsaid
We’re chasing the rhythm of a fleeting spark
Lost in the noise but lighting the dark
We build we break we rise we fall
A silent anthem for us all
Breath of dawn paints a fragile hue
Between the old and the sudden new
Dreams dissolve then reappear
Mapping the scars we’ve learned to wear
Waves crash loud on the shores of change
Pulling us closer but the tides rearrange
Every heartbeat a fragile thread
Holds the weight of words unsaid
We’re chasing the rhythm of a fleeting spark
Lost in the noise but lighting the dark
We build we break we rise we fall
A silent anthem for us all
Voices hum in a quiet refrain
Echoes of what we can’t explain
The stars above the ground below
Both hold secrets we’ll never know
And when the ashes fall like snow
Will we learn what we didn’t show?
The past is a mirror the future a flame
We’re reflections playing the same game
We’re chasing the rhythm of a fleeting spark
Lost in the noise but lighting the dark
We build we break we rise we fall
A silent anthem for us all
Fading whispers of where we’ve been
A fragile cycle begins again

Runnin (feat Tae)
Mark Martian
Verified Artist
Mark Martian
Mark Martian is one of the most elusive figures in the music world, and his mysterious persona has left many fans wondering—could he really be from Mars?
Known for using the alias Martian Mark during his collaborations, this enigmatic producer has somehow managed to evade the spotlight completely. No interviews, no photos, no videos—Mark is practically a ghost. Some say it’s part of his brand, while others speculate wildly. Who knows?
Maybe while Elon Musk dreams of building colonies on Mars, Mark’s already here, quietly making beats after hitching a ride from the Red Planet’s first neighborhood.
Despite the secrecy surrounding him, one thing’s clear: Mark’s music speaks volumes. His deep house tracks pulse with interstellar vibes, his pop productions are out-of-this-world catchy, and his funk grooves are, well, otherworldly.
Whether he’s blending cosmic synths with soulful beats or dropping funk-infused rhythms, his style keeps listeners hooked and guessing. You can hear his work across platforms, but his music truly shines on Filodyo, where you might catch the next great Martian anthem—if he doesn’t beam it up first.

Yeah-eh uh-huh na-na-na-na
We’re outta control — oh!
Midnight city glitter eyes
I’m not your type but you still try
Too many stories on my phone
but tonight I’m writing my own
All my friends in slow-mo frames
dancing wild forgetting names
Heartbeat syncs with stereo —
I don’t care just let it go! (uh-huh)
Out of control (uh!)
I’m losing my halo (yeah!)
Lights are on fire (ah!)
don’t need no hero!
Spin me around let the rhythm roll —
we’re out of out of out of control!
Glitter lips and candy lies
you say forever I say “bye”
Mirror selfies broken heels
still look good — that’s how it feels
No regrets no morning calls
we own the night we take it all
Heartbeat syncs with stereo —
don’t slow down just let it go! (o-oh)
Out of control (uh!)
I’m losing my halo (yeah!)
Lights are on fire (ah!)
don’t need no hero!
Spin me around let the rhythm roll —
we’re out of out of out of control!
O-oh no rules tonight
we’re neon high on satellite
O-oh one touch I’m gone —
my chaos turns me on!
Out of control (uh!)
I’m losing my halo (yeah!)
No one to blame no one to know
we’re out of out of out of control!

Gone Too Soon (feat...
Trevor Knox
Verified Artist
Trevor Knox
Trevor Knox, the hidden gem of Knoxville, is as much an enigma as he is a melody beast. Like a scrappy pop maestro, he's been serenading songbirds off their branches and sneaking symphonies into supermarket aisles.
Emerging from Knoxville's vibrant music scene like a rhinestone cowboy with a pop music bible, Trevor's zingy hooks and infectious melodies are said to make even the most mundane grocery shopping into an uplifting rom-com montage. An independent artist of many talents, he's in cahoots with the musical magicians of Filodyo - the innovative player that turns mundane shopping trips into musical escapades.
His most noted track, "Gone Too Soon (feat Lyla Grey)" is a tantalizing pop sensation, drenched in sun-kissed harmonies and happy vibes. It can lift the spirits even when you are lost among the maze of canned foods. It's a song Trevor insists was inspired by the sudden end to a two-for-one deal on his favorite crisps.
To hear Trevor Knox's music is to be handed a golden ticket into his quirky, joy-filled world - one where the beat is always thumping, the sun is perpetually shining, and the aisle music never, ever pauses. Be warned though: once you tune in, you might find yourself dancing down the dairy section!
Gone Too Soon (feat Lyla Grey)

A faded photograph
Can't take you back
Gone too soon
Gone too soon
A faded photograph (A faded photograph)
Can't take you back (Can't take you-)
Gone too soon (Gone too soon)
Gone too soon
Before I close my eyes
I see a vision of an angel
Guide them into the light
it's either heaven or Jermaine Dupri
This some shit I normally do not understand but it sound good
And do not worry
all that Gucci goin' with me
I swear (Yeah oh)
I know she was destined for greatness (Yeah)
Legend has it you can see her face in the pavement
Gave us s**t we never asked for
I'm thankful but angry
They ask me why I got the AFC in my family
I say "A faded photograph"
A faded photograph (Uh)
Can't take you back (Uh)
Gone too soon (Gone too soon)
Gone too soon
A faded photograph (A faded photograph)
Can't take you back
Gone too soon (Gone too soon)
Gone too soon (Look)
Oh my goodness gracious
I need gas and a Kit Kat (Kit Kat)
All these squares
how could you stare and not get that?
Pen is weapon of the century uh
Take it back to '63 (Ayy)
This is you this is me
A faded photograph
Can't take you back
Gone too soon
Gone too soon
A faded photograph
Can't take you back
Gone too soon (Gone too soon)

Stay With the Silence
When Colors Fell
Stay With the Silence
When Colors Fell
I watched the sky unfold too slow
Time slipped down the edge of your shadow
You left a glass of water full
But took the fire before the glow
Don't speak
I hear the silence calling
Don't breathe
The night is slowly falling
(Instrumental – layered synths emotional chords wide reverb)
[Vocal chops: “Don’t leave…” “Stay with me…”]
You float just out of reach again
A figure fading in the rain
You never said it had to end
But silence always makes it plain
Stay with the silence
Let it bloom inside
We're more than the moment
We're where the echoes hide

Heat in My Step
Finn Calero
Oh!
You move like the world’s got a pulse in your hand
I feel it hit me every time you stand— hey!
You got a spark that keeps cutting the room
Every little gesture makes the beat go boom
Tell me what you want don’t hide that tone
’Cause the way you roll feels full-grown
Step-step heat in my step
Turn-turn making me sweat
Step-step heat in my step
You know exactly what effect you get
Move it right don’t hesitate
Your timing hits like it’s born from fate
Slide that line make it rotate
I’m locked in there’s no escape
You bring the fire when the tempo hits
I feel the energy across my ribs
You got a rhythm that never quits
I fall in sync when your body shifts
You bring the fire when the tempo hits
I rise I jump I lose my grip
Ooh you take me higher just by walking in
Ooh I feel my balance slipping thin
Ooh I try to hold but you begin
To turn my calm into a pivot-spin
Go on push it— yeah!
Go on show it— ah!
Go on move it— woo!
Heat in my step when I follow you!

Clean and Proud
Aliza Steel 44
Midnight moves across the floor
Steps align we need no more
Every motion syncs in time
Signals crossing clean and fine
No directions no control
Just a pattern taking hold
Hold it right don’t push too fast
Let the second stretch and last
Keep me on a steady frequency
Where the sound stays close to me
Nothing sharp nothing loud
Just the rhythm clean and proud
Stay aligned let it be
No escape no urgency
Every tone exactly right
On this steady frequency tonight
Low pulse breathing
Filtered chords drifting
Time dissolving
Nothing spoken
Faces blur in moving light
Seconds fold into the night
No reflections no disguise
Just the motion multiplying
We don’t question where it leads
Only trust the space we keep
Hold the line stay inside
Let the moment open wide
Keep me on a steady frequency
Where the sound stays close to me
Nothing sharp nothing loud
Just the rhythm clean and proud
Stay aligned let it be
No escape no urgency
Every tone exactly right
On this steady frequency tonight
No beginning no release
Only waves in slow repeat
