All Souls inspired music | Somewhere Different Now — Dark Romantic Cinematic Rock

Some beginnings are chosen for us... Others are ours to decide. “Somewhere Different Now” is inspired by Time’s Convert*, the fourth novel in the *All Souls series by Deborah Harkness. Marcus Whitmore has lived for more than two centuries, carrying the memories of his human life, the consequences of his choices and the expectations of the vampire family that gave him a second existence. But even after centuries, the past is not always easy to leave behind. In the present, Phoebe Taylor makes a life-changing decision of her own. Choosing to become a vampire means leaving behind the familiar world and discovering what it means to begin again. As Marcus looks back on the life that shaped him, Phoebe faces a future she cannot yet fully understand. Their journeys reveal two sides of the same question. How much of who we are is shaped by where we come from? And how much can we choose for ourselves? This song is about accepting the past without allowing it to define the future. About belonging without losing yourself. And about finding the courage to begin again — not by erasing what came before, but by choosing what comes next. Because we cannot always choose where our story begins. But we can choose where it goes. This video features music and visuals generated with AI tools. LYRICS [Verse 1] I thought change would draw a line clear enough for me to see. There'd be a before and after, with nothing in between. But the morning looked familiar, people hurried down the street. It was strange how life kept going when so much had changed for me. [Pre-Chorus] There's no moment I can name, no clear line from then to now. Sometimes everything has changed before I know it's begun. [Chorus] I don't have to call it wrong just because my life has changed. I can choose a different future without wishing the past away. Some things I would choose again, some I wouldn't, knowing now. Starting over isn't saying I should never have been there. [Verse 2] Some things don't fit like they did, some still feel exactly right. There are choices I would change, but I won't rewrite that life. What I wanted mattered then. What I knew was real to me. I can see it differently now without saying I was wrong. [Pre-Chorus] There's no moment I can name, no clear line from then to now. Sometimes everything has changed before I know it's begun. [Chorus] I don't have to call it wrong just because my life has changed. I can choose a different future without wishing the past away. Some things I would choose again, some I wouldn't, knowing now. Starting over isn't saying I should never have been there. [Bridge] I meant every choice I made. I believed it at the time. What I want is different now, but that doesn't make it wrong. I can turn another way without saying I was lost. What was right for who I was doesn't have to fit me now. [Final Chorus] I don't have to call it wrong just because my life has changed. I can choose a different future without wishing the past away. Some things I would choose again, some I wouldn't, knowing now. Starting over isn't saying I should never have been there. [Outro] There was a life before this one. There will be another change. I don't have to lose the first to make room for what comes next. ──────────────────── Music: Suno AI Lyrics & Creative Direction: Manie Visuals: AI-assisted artwork Video Editing: DaVinci Resolve #AllSouls #Time’sConvert #DeborahHarkness
