I crafted the music to reflect the lighthearted and quirky nature of the tale, hoping to bring a smile to your face as you listen.
As you dive into “The Shadow Thief,” I hope you can sense the humor and mischief in each note, inviting you to join in on the thief’s entertaining and slightly absurd adventure.
I’m thrilled to be able to share this fun and catchy song with you, and I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed creating it. Please feel free to let me know what you think!Lyrics
In shadows deep where laughter hidesa sneaky thief with playful strideswith nimble steps he plots his heistto steal his shadow is all he wants
Wykkyl is the shadow thiefBound by robbing fun and sina heart so bold a spirit keenin twilight dance he’s never seen
From rooftops high to alleys widehe seeks his shadow far and wideA plan well crafted quite absurdA shadow heist bizzare obscured
Wykkyl is the shadow thiefBound by robbing fun and sina heart so bold a spirit keenin twilight dance he’s never seen

Common Questions
Licensing & Usage FAQ
Everything you need to know before using my music in your projects.
- Is the music totally free?
- Yes — free tracks are tagged as free and yours to use as long as you credit me as the composer. Check the license info page for proper attribution details.
- How do I credit you?
- Simply name Ivan Duch as the composer wherever the music is used — in video descriptions, credits screens, show notes, etc. Full attribution guide here.
- What is royalty-free music?
- Royalty-free means you pay once (or in this case, just credit me) for a license to use the music — not on a per-use basis. You're free to use it across multiple projects.
- What rights do I get?
- A non-exclusive license to use the music in your projects. You may not redistribute or sell the tracks as standalone audio files or albums.
- What are Stems?
- Stems are individual instrument tracks (brass, woodwinds, percussion, etc.) from a song. They let you mix the music to fit your scene. Stems are available for Patrons.
- Do you offer exclusive licenses?
- Yes. If you need original, exclusive music for a film, game, or other project, visit the commissions page. Terms can be tailored to your project's needs.
- Can I use the music without crediting you?
- Attribution is required on every license — credit Ivan Duch as the composer wherever attribution is possible. The only exception is media where attribution isn’t practical (live podcasts, live events), where it may be omitted. Contact me if you need a special arrangement.
- Is there a written license?
- Yes — you can find the full written license on the licensing page. It protects you if someone ever falsely claims the music. See the copyright page for more.
