The Song We Never Played is a cinematic indie pop single exploring the end of a relationship and the emotional space between closeness and departure.

Built around expressive lead vocals by Caro Stechl, the track combines subtle groove-driven textures with warm, organic instrumentation and live string recordings performed by members of the Augsburg Philharmonic. The production balances restraint and intensity, creating an atmosphere that is both intimate and forward-moving.

Drawing equally from classical composition and funk- and soul-influenced pop traditions, Schulzki approaches his music as a cinematic form — blending harmonic nuance with groove-driven energy, layered arrangements and a strong sense of emotional narrative.
