Hold The Heart
The Syrphids
The day you arrived
Marked the start of your fade
What seemed like dawn
Was the eve of our flight oh-oh
Promises we made
In shadows light displayed mmm
Remember your vow
Stay true now aah
Find peace somehow
We thought it was start
But wings took flight aah
Hold the heart
Beyond the night oh-oh
Keep your word
Shine bright
As we soared high
Truth was found in the wind
Beneath the sky
We learned to begin oh-oh
Promises we kept
In dreams where secrets slept mmm
Remember your vow
Stay true now aah
Find peace somehow
We thought it was start
But wings took flight aah
Hold the heart
Beyond the night oh-oh
Keep your word
Shine bright
In the night sky
Stars won’t lie
Remember your vow
Stay true now aah
Find peace somehow

Better Without Proof
Bitter Palm
You sent a message
Then took it back
I saw enough there
Between each gap
No big confession
No perfect scene
Just two people
Out of routine
I kept my answer
Short and kind
Left all the reasons
Out of my mind
You wanted closure
Clean and small
I gave you nothing
You could call
I used to replay
Every little word
Now I let it pass
Unrehearsed
I used to bend
Just to make us fit
Now I stand straight
And live with it
I’m better without proof
Better without blame
Better without you
Saying my name
I don’t need the last word
I don’t need the truth
I got myself back
Better without proof
Better better
Better without proof
Better better
Better without you
You still look polished
From far away
Like all the damage
Had a clean face
I don’t feel bitter
I don’t feel small
I just feel ready
To want more
Some days are easy
Some days are not
But I don’t bargain
With what I lost
You had your version
I had mine too
Both can be real
And still be through
I used to replay
Every little word
Now I let it pass
Unrehearsed
I used to bend
Just to make us fit
Now I stand straight
And live with it
I’m better without proof
Better without blame
Better without you
Saying my name
I don’t need the last word
I don’t need the truth
I got myself back
Better without proof
Better better
Better without proof
Better better
Better without you
No more checking
If you regret it
No more waiting
For some clean edit
I don’t carry
What we ruined
I just keep moving
Like I’m used to it
You can keep
Your side of pain
I can keep
My new last name
I’m better without proof
Better without blame
Better without you
Saying my name
I don’t need the last word
I don’t need the truth
I got myself back
Better without proof
Better better
Better without proof
Better better
Better without you
I’m better without proof
Better without blame
Better without you
Saying my name
Mm
I don’t need proof now
I just know

Never Barefoot
The Syrphids
I was barefoot in the silence
dreaming of laces I could never tie
They told me “Leave your shoes behind”
but my feet were burning on holy ground
Back then the glass windows whispered
shops were cathedrals I couldn’t enter
Every sneaker a forbidden scripture
every boot a sermon I couldn’t keep
I walked with shadows on the pavement
carrying blisters instead of crowns
Now every aisle feels like confession
plastic bags my rosaries
boxes stacked like psalms unspoken
I kneel but I never pray
I can’t walk barefoot anymore
the echoes of my hunger follow me
God once said “Take off your shoes”
but He never felt these cracks in me
So I buy another pair I’ll never wear
just to silence the ghost of that child staring
at the glass at the glass at the glass
Leather tongues speak louder than my own
rubber soles drown out my guilt
Every purchase is a broken hymn
every closet a confessional built
I don’t wear them I collect my scars
like trophies of battles I never fought
The past still laces up my ankles
pulling tight with phantom strings
No barefoot freedom in the morning
just a graveyard made of things
I can’t walk barefoot anymore
the echoes of my hunger follow me
God once said “Take off your shoes”
but He never felt these cracks in me
So I buy another pair I’ll never wear
just to silence the ghost of that child staring
at the glass at the glass at the glass
Empty shoes like empty prayers
lining up my hallway shrine
I am both thief and worshipper
stealing time wasting time
I can’t walk barefoot anymore
the pavement bleeds the silence roars
God once said “Take off your shoes”
but He never stood in this hunger before
So I’ll keep on buying keep on binding
never fitting never finding…
and the child in the glass walks with me still

Open Circuit

Open Circuit
Mira Cade
I kept each feeling under glass
A private rule from years gone past
You saw the lock you did not push
You gave me room to choose enough
Now every reason feels too old
I want a life I do not hold
One honest move one steady start
A simple route from heart to heart
Open circuit let it run
No more hiding what we want
Every signal coming clear
I choose trust I choose you here
Open circuit no disguise
Read the answer from my eyes
We can let connection start
One direct route heart to heart
You kept your plans behind a grin
Afraid that I would not step near
But caution only served the past
We have a chance to make this last
Now every reason feels too old
We want a life we do not hold
One honest move one steady start
A simple route from heart to heart
Open circuit let it run
No more hiding what we want
Every signal coming clear
I choose trust I choose you here
Open circuit no disguise
Read the answer from my eyes
We can let connection start
One direct route heart to heart
No locked reply no coded test
We say the need and give our best
If fear returns we name it fast
Then choose what matters choose what lasts
Open circuit let it run
No more hiding what we want
Every signal coming clear
I choose trust I choose you here
Open circuit no disguise
Read the answer from my eyes
We can let connection start
One direct route heart to heart

With influences from funk and nu-disco, her music embodies a sleek, four-on-the-floor groove that promises to uplift spirits and get bodies moving.

Billie Arden's artistry extends beyond mere entertainment; it serves as an invitation to dance freely while celebrating one's true self, ensuring that each release resonates deeply with those seeking inspiration in both life and music.
The Wrong Daughter
Billie Arden
I left at seventeen before the bread was warm
took the blue suitcase nobody claimed
Mother stood polishing the same clean glass
Dad read the paper without turning a page
There was a woman’s name behind the pantry clock
written twice then crossed with a kitchen knife
I asked who she was
They asked why I was still awake
Huh
They said “You’ll understand when you’re older”
So I got older somewhere else
I was gone before the kettle sang
gone before they fixed their tale
Let them blame my age my temper
let them blame the morning train
I was gone gone gone—
they can call it running if they like
I didn’t leave because they hated me
I left because they knew me wrong
Years later a stranger stopped me near the docks
said “You walk exactly like she did”
I laughed and asked “Who?”
She looked at me as though I’d made a joke
Then she handed me a photograph:
my father younger one hand out of frame
and a girl with my uneven teeth
wearing the blue suitcase name tag
Huh Small world
Terrible handwriting
She said “Your mother tried her best”
I said “Which one?”
I was gone before the kettle sang
gone before they fixed their tale
Let them blame my age my temper
let them blame the morning train
I was gone gone gone—
they can call it running if they like
I didn’t leave because they hated me
I left because they knew me wrong
Maybe I was kept
Maybe I was traded
Maybe love gets very polite
when the truth is complicated
I never asked again
That keeps them nervous
I was gone before the kettle sang
gone before they fixed their tale
Let them polish every answer
I know where the story fails
I was gone gone gone—
huh they still insist I’m wild
I didn’t leave because I hated them
I left as someone else’s child

Thread of Stillness
Cyran Flux
Thread pulled tight
But never tears
Daylight hums
Across my face
The air repeats
But I don’t chase
Hands don't move
But time does
Still I hold
What no one was
I stay still
The world turns
Crowds dissolve
I don't leave
In that pause
I still believe
I stay still
The world turns
I don’t fall
I return
Like strings in air
I hold I hum

Letters You Never Sent
Ctrlphase
Your words folded in air
Carried by nothing but silence
I tried to trace the sender
But your name blurred in distance
No return address no ink
Just the shape of what we meant
I keep them in the drawer
The letters you never sent
I read them with closed eyes
Feel your voice in every line
Even without a single word
You always cross that line
Sometimes I wish I’d never looked
But I can’t unread your absence
The page was always blank
But I filled it with persistence
You always cross… that line…

Calor De Junio (ft ...
Rio Vane
Verified Artist
Rio Vane
With a name like Rio Vane, you could only expect a backstory as steamy and vibrant as the city itself. He is a self-made, independent dance artist that ignites the music stage with an energy so potent it could power Miami's nightlife for a calendar year.
Vane emerged from modest beginnings, the son of a pizza maker family in the sultry heart of Miami—delivering not only the finest pies but also a flair for Latin dance music since his youth. You could say the rhythm coursed through his veins, or that he sweated salsa beats instead of conventional teenage angst. Either way, his childhood was a simmering paella of musical influences that later shaped his unique sound.
"Calor De Junio (ft Zuri)", one of his most notable tracks, pulsates with rowdy beats and sultry rhythms that would make even the most reluctant wallflower throw some shapes. It's akin to being caught in a storm—clouds thick with his rich vocals, lightning strikes of dance beats, and downpours of sultry Latin rhythms—it's cathartic, climatic, and a hell of a dance workout.
When Vane isn't lighting up the dance scene, you'll find him scribbling beats on pizza boxes or sharing his demos with Hakan E. from Filodyo. It's through these humble endeavours that he landed the opportunity to share his musical creations with Not FM and the world. The magic of Rio Vane lies not just with his infectious sounds but that he is as spicy, whimsical, and intense as the Miami city he hails from. To listen to his music is to lose yourself in the rhythm, embrace the heat, and move with the beat. As they say in Miami, 'dale!'

Got my feet up sun on my face
Life is a ride let’s pick up the pace
With a strum of the guitar the world feels right
Let’s dance on the clouds from morning till night
LAUGHING LOUD we chase the sun
Rolling on waves oh we’re gonna have fun!
With a trombone blast we’re breaking the rules
Together we shine just a couple of fools!
Running through fields with laughter in tow
A violin sings as we steal the show
Time is a game we play it so bright
With every note played we’re taking flight
LAUGHING LOUD we chase the sun
Rolling on waves oh we’re gonna have fun!
With a trombone blast we’re breaking the rules
Together we shine just a couple of fools!
LAUGHING LOUD we chase the sun
Rolling on waves oh we’re gonna have fun!
