Made You Up
The Southbounders
Verified Artist
The Southbounders
The Southbounders are a four-piece alternative rock band whose story began in the late 1990s, when a group of high school friends started playing together after classes, rehearsing wherever they could find space. What began as a casual obsession quickly developed into a distinct sound built around worn guitar tones, restrained melodies, rough-edged vocals, and songs about restless youth, small-town frustration, and the urge to leave everything behind.
In their early years, The Southbounders played school events, small clubs, local festivals, and independent venues, gradually building a loyal following. Their music blended the weight of post-grunge with the warmth of Americana and folk-rock, giving the band a sound that could feel raw and aggressive one moment and unexpectedly fragile the next. Each member brought a different musical instinct to the group, helping create a style that felt less polished than mainstream rock, but far more personal.
Rather than becoming a conventional commercial act, The Southbounders slowly developed the reputation of a band people discovered and held onto. Their songs became associated with long drives, late-summer evenings, empty streets, and that particular kind of uncertainty that comes with growing up. Looking back, their story feels less like one of ambition or fame and more like four friends who happened to capture the mood of their time in a handful of songs that still sound honest years later.
Made You Up

Prompt
I made you up
I made you up
More than I knew
You said maybe
I heard yes
You went quiet
I filled the rest
You stood near me
I called it love
You gave me little
I made it enough
Now I know
Now I know
Half of you
Was mine alone
I made you up
Made you better
Made you stay
Made forever
Out of words
You never said
I made a life
Inside my head
I made you up
I made you up
And I believed it too
You said nothing
I heard more
I saw meaning
Where there was none
Every look
Every pause
I gave a reason
I gave a cause
Now I know
Now I know
Half of you
Was mine alone
I made you up
Made you better
Made you stay
Made forever
Out of words
You never said
I made a life
Inside my head
I made you up
I made you up
And I believed it too
Maybe I miss
What never was
Maybe that hurts
More because
You were real
But not that way
I was the one
Who made you stay
I made you up
Made you better
Made you stay
Made forever
Out of words
You never said
I made a life
Inside my head
I made you up
I made you up
Now I can lose you too
I made you up

Run Into Summer
August Marlow
You showed up late with your hair still wet
Said “don’t ask where I’ve been”
I had two cold drinks and a nervous smile
You had trouble on your skin
We left our phones in the corner booth
Ran out before the bill
You said “I know a road where the city ends”
I said “show me I will”
And I don’t know
Where this thing is going
But your hand’s in mine
And the night keeps rolling
You say my name
Like a song you’re learning
Then you pull me close
And the whole street’s turning
So let’s run into summer
Like we don’t know better
Heartbeats loud
In the hot bad weather
You and me
Getting gone together
If we fall too fast
We can blame it on forever
Run run
Into the blue
I don’t need a plan
When I’m running with you
Run run
Like lovers do
I don’t need the world
I just need one more minute with you
You kicked your shoes off by the seaside bar
Danced on the pavement line
I tried to act like I didn’t care
But I was losing my mind
You stole my cap I stole your look
We were laughing too loud
Somebody played that old guitar
And you sang to the crowd
And I don’t know
If this is a warning
But your eyes say stay
Till the blue of morning
You say my name
Like you mean it maybe
Then you smile like that
And the night goes crazy
So let’s run into summer
Like we don’t know better
Heartbeats loud
In the hot bad weather
You and me
Getting gone together
If we fall too fast
We can blame it on forever
Run run
Into the blue
I don’t need a plan
When I’m running with you
Run run
Like lovers do
I don’t need the world
I just need one more minute with you
Oh-oh-oh
One more minute with you
Oh-oh-oh
One more minute with you
**[Bridge - Half Time]**
Maybe September comes too soon
Maybe this all disappears
Maybe we’re just two hearts
Making too much noise out here
But I don’t wanna slow down
I don’t wanna be right
I just wanna keep you
For the rest of tonight
So let’s run into summer
Like we don’t know better
Heartbeats loud
In the hot bad weather
You and me
Getting gone together
If we fall too fast
We can blame it on forever
Run run
Into the blue
I don’t need a plan
When I’m running with you
Run run
Like lovers do
I don’t need the world
I just need one more minute with you
Oh-oh-oh
One more minute with you
Oh-oh-oh
Run into summer with you

Gravity
Celeste Rowan
Shadows flicker on the midnight screen
A message left where the city leans
Fingertips trace static lines
Falling into coded signs
Signals bending hearts in motion
Lost between the waves devotion
A silent spark a hidden door
Something pulls us back for more
Feel the current pulling closer
Gravity can’t hold us over
Every second a new collision
No escape from this decision
Glitches hum beneath our breath
Distant voices dance with death
Mirrors show what we can’t see
Phantom touch electric dreams
Signals bending hearts in motion
Lost between the waves devotion
A silent spark a hidden door
Something pulls us back for more
Feel the current pulling closer
Gravity can’t hold us over
Every second a new collision
No escape from this decision
No words left just motion
Wired deep in this devotion
If we break we break together
Nothing’s built to last forever
Feel the current pulling closer
Gravity can’t hold us over
Every second a new collision
No escape from this decision

Bajo La Luna
Dos Corazones
Bajo La Luna
Dos Corazones
Bajo la luna bailas sin mí
Y el viento susurra lo que ya perdí
Tus huellas quedaron en la arena
Pero la marea se las llevó
Tu perfume sigue en mi chaqueta
Aunque tú ya no estás mi amor
Y cada nota que canta el mar
Me recuerda cómo solías amar
Bajo la luna lloré tu adiós
Con cada estrella pedí tu voz
Pero el silencio fue más fuerte
Y se llevó mi suerte
Bailas con otro y yo con mi dolor
Las calles aún gritan tu nombre
Cada rincón es una prisión
Y yo me pierdo entre los hombres
Buscando una explicación
Tus ojos eran mi verdad
Ahora son sombra y oscuridad
Bajo la luna lloré tu adiós
Con cada estrella pedí tu voz
Pero el silencio fue más fuerte
Y se llevó mi suerte
Bailas con otro y yo con mi dolor
Dime si aún sueñas conmigo
O si soy solo un ritmo antiguo
Te sigo amando aunque no deba
Mi corazón ya no se niega
Bajo la luna aún soy de ti
Aunque ya no seas para mí
Y si algún día vuelves amor
Bailaremos sin temor
Como antes bajo la luna

My Kitchen Stage
Soleil Vega
Verified Artist
Soleil Vega
Soleil Vega is the kind of artist who can turn a rainy Tuesday into a rooftop party. Born and raised in Brighton, UK, she grew up surrounded by her mother’s old soul records and the pulse of the underground dance scene. Her music lives at the intersection of deep house grooves, pop sparkle, and feel-good R&B touches, driven by radiant vocals and unapologetically joyful lyrics.
Her breakout track “My Kitchen Stage” is a celebration of everyday magic—the kind you find dancing alone at home with a spatula mic in hand. The track blends warm house rhythms with bouncy basslines and a shimmering vocal delivery that makes you want to throw open the windows and turn the volume all the way up. It’s infectious, playful, and deeply personal.
Soleil’s sound is sun-kissed but grounded. She writes about friendship, late-night cravings, heartbreak, and finding your light—in the club, in the kitchen, or in your own reflection. And when she performs, it’s not a show, it’s a shared moment. Always real, always radiant.
My Kitchen Stage
Soleil Vega
Your walls are gonna cry
They know it better than I do
I'm still scared to die
When I'm dancing without you
Maybe it's all in my head
Maybe I'll get out of bed
If you call
And I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And I know it's only temporary
But it's not in the way
It's not in the way that you want it
So we won't talk about it
We don't talk about it
And I know it's only temporary
But it's not in the way
It's not in the way that you want it
So we won't talk about it
We don't talk about it
Maybe it's all in my head
Maybe I'll get out of bed
If you call
And I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage
And if you call
I'll go dancing through my kitchen like it's a stage

No Default Setting
Billie Arden
Cut the feed
Leave the meter running
Hold that grin
I came with my own timing
You tried to sell me a cleaner name
With the corners sanded down
Put my laugh in a little glass case
Said “Look who’s stable now”
I don’t fit in your easy chart
I don’t land on command
There’s a tune in my crooked part
You don’t understand
Don’t fix the bend
Don’t mute the spark
I keep my rhythm
Off the mark
No default setting
I tune my own voltage
No default setting
I move when the bass gets bold
You want me simple
You want me folded
I’m not the version
That does what it’s told
No default setting
No clean reset
I’m better when I don’t behave yet
Your golden rule came overdressed
And talked like a magazine
I poured black coffee on the test
Made the paper sing
You said “Be calm be useful now”
I said “Nice little cage”
Then I took my pulse off your clock
And rewrote the page
Don’t trim the heat
Don’t square the sound
I keep my rhythm
Upside down
No default setting
I tune my own voltage
No default setting
I move when the bass gets bold
You want me simple
You want me folded
I’m not the version
That does what it’s told
No default setting
No clean reset
I’m better when I don’t behave yet
Left right
Too bright
Low kick
Uptight
Turn snap
Come back
One more
Off-track
I was never built for your manual
Never born for a numbered lane
Every time you label the motion
Something loose begins to play
Let the clean ones keep their answers
Let the smooth ones win the floor
I have trouble in my timing
And it always asks for more
No default setting
I tune my own voltage
No default setting
I move when the bass gets bold
You want me simple
You want me folded
I’m not the version
That does what it’s told
No default setting
No clean reset
I’m better when I don’t behave yet
Cut the feed
Leave it running
No default
I’m still coming

Summer Change
Kyle The Wildd
Sun on my skin
I let it in
Old ways loosen
By the pool again
I’m shedding the weight
Like a soaked-up shirt
Easy to say
Harder to learn
Happy summer and i will change
Happy summer and i will change
I’m not who I was in May
Happy summer and i will change
Bare feet blue cup
Ice in the cup
I call my own name
And I show up
I’m not going back
To the same old road
Burned up the map
Now I’m in control
Happy summer and i will change
Happy summer and i will change
I’m not who I was in May
Happy summer and i will change
Let the day run long
Let the hurt drift off
I can hear it now
My old skin drop
Happy summer and i will change
Happy summer and i will change
I’m not who I was in May
Happy summer and i will change

Ashes Know My Name
Elias Crowe
Verified Artist
Elias Crowe
Elias Crowe is an American singer-songwriter whose music lives somewhere between Latin blues, desert rock and roots Americana. Raised among the wide landscapes of the American Southwest, he developed a quiet fascination with stories of ordinary people, forgotten highways and the invisible weight carried through everyday life. Rather than chasing trends, Crowe built his sound around expressive guitar work, restrained vocals and songs that value silence as much as melody.
His recordings are known for their cinematic atmosphere, blending warm acoustic textures, soulful electric guitar and subtle Latin rhythms into music that feels timeless rather than nostalgic. Crowe rarely writes in absolutes. His lyrics explore redemption, memory, resilience and the fragile space between hope and regret, often using simple images to reveal deeper emotional truths. Listeners are drawn to the honesty of his performances, where every note feels lived rather than performed.
Although his style echoes the spirit of classic American roots music, Elias Crowe continues to shape a voice that is unmistakably his own. Whether performing intimate ballads or slow-burning rock songs, he favors authenticity over spectacle, allowing emotion, craftsmanship and atmosphere to lead every performance. His work has earned a loyal audience that values music not for its volume, but for its ability to linger long after the final chord has faded.
Ashes Know My Name
Elias Crowe
Slow down…
Don’t wake the fire
It already knows
Who I am
Dust hangs low where the old road bends
Every scar still remembers friends
I don’t ask if tomorrow stays
I just count the smoke instead of days
One cold wind
One tired hand
Trying to build
What never stands
Every prayer arrives
Wearing different clothes
Maybe heaven answers
Maybe nobody knows
Hold your flame
Don’t hide your face
Even broken walls
Can become a place
If the night
Calls out my name
I’ll answer slow
Just the same
Hold your flame…
Don’t let it fade
My father’s coat still smells like rain
Every pocket keeps a different pain
Coins grow heavy
Truth grows light
Some men disappear
Before the fight
I don’t need another miracle
Only one more mile to walk
The silence speaks
Louder than angels
When nobody talks
Hold your flame
Across the storm
Nothing living
Stays untouched or warm
If I fall
Don’t call my name
Just leave the fire…
Exactly where it came
The ashes know my name…
The ashes know…
My name…

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
