The Price of a Song

They began as kids chasing noise and friendship. But when one song turned into fame and fortune, the music that bound them together became the very thing that tore them apart.

When fame and fortune test the bonds of friendship

At the start, a band is just a bunch of kids chasing noise. They play in cramped bars thick with cigarette smoke, sometimes for free, sometimes paid in beer and fries. They laugh about wrong notes, borrow each other’s gear, and dream of nothing more than the next gig. Music is friendship, pure and raw—a heartbeat shared through amplifiers.

Then lightning strikes. One song clicks. A record deal follows. Suddenly, their names are on posters, fans scream the lyrics back at them, and their track is climbing charts. They’ve become famous—a band the world now watches, but no longer just their own.

But fame brings fortune, and fortune brings questions. The same riffs and drum fills that once felt like gifts now look like debts unpaid. Who really “wrote” the song? Who deserves the biggest slice of the pie? That carefree brotherhood on stage slowly turns into cold meetings with lawyers, contracts replacing handshakes.

And this is the sad twist: the music that gave them everything also planted the seed of division. What once was just a jam for fun turns into a legal battle for millions. Maybe it was always inevitable. Because in the end, bands aren’t just playgrounds—they’re businesses. And nothing tests friendship like money. Nothing hurts more than realizing the friendship was the first thing lost.

Hold

A story of slipping, echoing, and still hoping—told through the track “Hold” from the album Indelible Imprint of Reverberation.

Life can sometimes feel like a series of blows. Again and again, misfortune strikes. Blink, and the rare good chance is already gone. Drift too long, and you’re pulled farther from where you hoped to be. Things Fade, you Flee, and before you know it—everything you cared about is Gone.

That’s the story of someone who feels like every door shuts just as they reach it. There’s nothing to Hold on to. Every blessing slips through their fingers, while the hardships Linger, heavy and unmoving. Time doesn’t heal—it Pauses, keeps Quiet, makes the pain Rise and Still remain.

But then, in a moment of grace, something changes. For once, he gets to Hold something real—something worth keeping. It slips away too soon, but it doesn’t vanish. A Trace remains. A reverberation, like sound bouncing endlessly in the soul.

It tells him: Wait. Because one day, he will finally Hold.

Hold • Darem Placer

The story doesn’t end here. Hold is just one voice in a larger echo. The rest of the album, Indelible Imprint of Reverberation, carries the same journey—tracks that fade, linger, rise, and wait. If you want to follow the whole resonance, you can find it on
Apple Music and Apple Music Classical.
