Hey everyone,

Today I released my EP Home Is Where the Hurt Is under the name CASK.

It’s a dark indie folk / singer-songwriter project built around storytelling and themes like grief, addiction, trauma, family and the things people often carry silently for years.

I’m 45 years old and have spent most of my life writing songs privately as a bedroom guitarist without ever really sharing them. Over the last two years or so I finally started recording and releasing some of the material.

This EP is probably the most personal and emotionally heavy thing I’ve released so far, especially the final track, My Mother and I.

Would genuinely appreciate anyone who takes the time to give som feedback, especially on the lyrics and melodies. I know I can improve on vocals.

I’ve just written a new song, but I am afraid it is to intimate. However i feel this might relate to people with depression or grief in some ways. I would love some honest feedback:

I dont really cry no more

Vers
The nights are getting longer.
And the light has faded out.
The days are getting colder.
And the leaves have turned brown.

The clouds are getting heavier.
Like the weight upon my spine.
They are filled up with water.
But these eyes are dry

Pre chorus.

I dont really cry no more.
The rain wont leave my chest.
Ive held this storm inside so long.
Its settling inside my veins.

Chorus.

No one hears the thunder now.
No one hears my call.
The silence when i call.
I just hold on through it all.

Verse.
Every branch looks tired now.
And every trunk is turning hollow.
Only the asphalt still remains.
Along with a dandelions fragile start.

Pre chorus.
I dont really cry no more.
The rain wont leave my chest.
Ive held the storm inside so long.
Its settling inside my veins.

Chorus.
No one hears the thunder now.
No one hears my call.
The silence when i call.
I just hold on through it all.

Made a dark indie folk DP about grief, addiction and silence
