about

"STUCK" represents a moment in time where I decided to step out of my comfort zone and do something I didn’t think I could: write and record a song and then show it to the world.

I was taking a Certificate IV course in Screen & Media. For one of the assignments, I wanted to create a music video. I decided to challenge myself and write my own. I’d never written a song before, but I told myself it didn’t matter if it was a s h * t song. After all, I was being graded on video editing, not song writing.

The only problem was that it was nearly the end of the year and, because of who I am as a person, I had procrastinated nearly all the assignments and only had 6 weeks left to finish them all. This meant I only had about two weeks to write, record, and mix my song, and I had no idea what I was doing!

Somehow it all worked out! I call it ADHD hyperfocus magic :P

I am honestly shocked that I created a song that’s not half bad, and it showed me what I’m capable of when I stop doubting myself and just do it!

Can’t wait to record more songs!

If you made it this far, thanks for reading! 🍻

lyrics

Lyrics:

Another night
Another nightmare
Another fight

More shadows
Eyes looking down at me

Where am I?
This is killing me

In the silence I scream
But no one hears me
Drowning in these fears
Am I awake?

Am I still dreaming?
Or maybe dead
You took all of me
Alone
Paralysed

Where am I?
This is killing me

In the silence I scream
But no one hears me
Drowning in these fears
Am I awake?

Am I still dreaming?
Am I awake?
(Let this pain kill me now)
Am I still dreaming?
Am I awake?

In the silence I scream
But no one hears me
Drowning in these fears
Am I awake?

Only you, my love, are real

about

VAN RAVEN image

VAN RAVEN TAS, Australia

VAN RAVEN is a Tasmanian based Dutch singer-songwriter who leans into the shadows rather than away from them. Her music sits somewhere between emotional confession and darkwave inspired tension, built on raw vocals, moody textures, and the kind of honesty most people try to avoid. She writes, and records, and produces her own tracks, chasing a sound that feels alive, imperfect, and human. ... more
