The
percussion took the wheel in driving “Steel on Steel” to the blog. The
guitar and bass command attention and the synth plays a role, but the strength
of the song from Dorvin Borman is in its invigorating rhythm. Dorvin
Borman describes himself as a “maker of cloudy dreamy woozy songs about anxiety,”
but “Steel on Steel” is a high octane cross between Post-Punk and Electronica.
At 119 beats per minute, it’s four minute of energy. Dorvin
Borman (aka Devin Bierman) is based in Brooklyn, although he is from Los
Angeles. “Steel

Lyrics of “Steel on Steel” by Dorvin Borman Steel on steel Caught in the underpass Listen to people talking and talking back Listen to people drunk in the underpass Steel on steel coming and coming back
As our name indicates, this blog promotes Indie music. So we did not expect to write about Ed Sheeren or
U2. But we have a soft spot for songs that feature choirs. “Yours Eternally”
is a track on the politically powerful U2 album “Days of Ash,” which was
intentionally released on Ash Wednesday (February 18, 2026). Taras
Topolia is a Ukrainian singer and soldier best known as the lead vocalist of
the band Antytila, so it's fitting that he contributed to the song “Yours Eternally.” The track is accompanied by a short film
documentary highlighting the daily lives of the soldiers in the 40,000-strong
Khartiya Corps. The YouTube video is included in this post. The
lyrics of “Yours Eternally” end with repeating the term “volia,” which
is a Ukrainian concept representing freedom, liberty, and the power of
intention or willpower. The word signifies the strength to achieve goals and
resist oppression, and it also represents personal independence. The
members of the song’s choir are: Bob Geldof Jeanne Marine Nadya Tolokonnikova (of Pussy Riot) Chupryna Valeria Dmytro Vodovozov Dmytro Zholud Kateryna Motrych Maksym Syvolap Mykhailo Chirko Sergii Vusyk Vladyslav Greziev “Yours
Eternally” by U2 (featuring Ed Sheeran and Taras Topolia)
Lyrics of “Yours Eternally” by U2 (featuring Ed
Sheeran and Taras Topolia) Don't sleep Don't even think about it No need Maybe a little bit Still dream About waking up free As we can be Forget Whatever doesn't fit Regret Regret none of it Don't bet On getting rid of me Yours eternally Dearest friends or whatever We are calling ourselves these days My current location I cannot disclose Geographically It's nowhere that I’ve been before But emotionally We’re on the same road If you have the chance to laugh Laugh at me If you have the chance to hope It's a duty Don't sleep Don't even think about it No need Maybe a little bit Still dream About waking up free As we can be Forget Whatever doesn't fit Regret Regret none of it Don't bet On getting rid of me Yours eternally As your so called companion The worst jokes and the greatest times You got me high And the stars got me home Your faith in me was blinding Yours is the song that I’ve always sung You are not lost out there because You are not alone If you have a chance to reach Reach for me In the chaos of the earth We’ll find beauty All this time we’ve been chasing dust A soldier’s song a sailor’s lust For the glory of a world That we can’t yet see Don't sleep Don't even think about it No need Maybe a little bit Still dream About waking up free As we can be Forget Whatever doesn't fit Regret Regret none of it Don't bet On getting rid of me Yours eternally Volia, volia Volia, volia Volia, volia Volia, volia
While we missed both until recently, two Rock-heavy songs were released
by Czech Republic bands in the final months of 2025. In the final few days of
the year, Pajaanch shared "The Night that Loved Us Back." The strength
of the song lies in the dynamic vocals. But the darkness in the “World” and “Tribal”
aspects of the instrumentation is another strong draw. Pajaanch is a project driven by Pavel Bublík,
who openly discloses that "The Night that Loved Us Back" is AI
assisted. His lyrics describe finding solace in the darkness of the night (the
lyrics are included in this post). The track resides as the final song on the
album “Veins of Eternal Night,” which is a “dark cinematic fantasy album
inspired by vampiric mythology, ancient rituals, and eternal love — blending
tribal drums, medieval echoes, and haunting voices into a timeless nightbound
saga.” Pajaanch
is a Czechia-based Ritual Mythic Folk project blending medieval dark folk,
Nordic and pagan atmospheres with cinematic ritual soundscapes. Rooted in
ancient myths, forgotten gods and sacred rites, the music draws inspiration
from Viking, medieval and dark folk traditions, with touches of folk metal and
acoustic storytelling. Music for moonlit nights, sacred fires and listeners
drawn to myth, darkness and timeless worlds. "The
Night that Loved Us Back" by Pajaanch
Lyrics of "The Night that Loved Us
Back" by Pajaanch When all the world had turned away The night remained, the night still stayed In blood and shadow, oath and scar We became the dark, the final star No dawn could reach, no sun could burn The lessons death could never learn Hands entwined through endless fears Whispers echoing through years We carved our name in stone and bone The night replied, we were not alone Through hunger, fire, and endless storm We found a place, our souls reborn The night that loved us back Held us through every crack Through shadow, blood, and pain we went Through time itself, we were unbent The night Loved us back Forever

Czech Republic. The members are Tomáš Galek (drums), Jan Srostlík (bass),
Albert Pazdera (guitar), and Stanislav Chyzhman (vocals). The band released “Storm”

and profiting over others.
