Two old sailors on their final ride

One Last Ride

Boot Key Harbor One Last Time is a song about one last sail south — and the quiet goodbyes we sometimes say without speaking them out loud. On the surface, it’s a farewell to a boat and a harbor full of memories. But if you listen closely, there’s a deeper story underneath — about holding on tight, letting go with love, and cherishing every final sunset with the one who mattered most.

Boot Key Harbor - One Last Time

Sometimes doing the right thing still wrecks you.
And sometimes a wreck leaves behind ghosts.

We did the right thing. We walked away.
But some connections don’t fade—they echo.
This is a song for the ones who still feel the weight of love long after it’s gone…
For the ones who know that silence doesn’t always mean goodbye.
This must be real—since we’re so damn haunted.

Haunted

This is an R&B reimagining—made for HER—of an earlier song about missed chances and long-overdue words. Stripped down, slowed down, and laid bare, it’s one more way of saying what should’ve been said the first time around.

If you've ever held back the truth too long, or wished you could go back and say what really mattered—this song is for you.

Not Just Passing Through

Sometimes the pain doesn’t leave… it just changes shape.
This song is what it sounds like to stand in the wreckage of love, loss, and memory—unsure of where you are, but still reaching.

It’s not about giving up.
It’s not about moving on.
It’s about surviving long enough to maybe want something again.

If you’ve ever held a ghost in your chest, or found clarity in the quiet with someone who’ll never be yours again—this might be for you.

Am I Hiding

This song is for anyone who's ever found themselves in a connection that defies logic—something too risky to hold, too real to release. It's about that narrow space between right and wrong, love and restraint, fear and truth.

We didn’t plan to be here.
We didn’t promise forever.
But we’re still walkin’ this tightrope… and we’re forever bound.

Tightrope

This song turns the fairytale upside down. Give Not Get is a grounded, heartful reminder that love isn’t about filling a hole—it’s about showing up as your whole self. With warm acoustic instrumentation and an honest Southern vocal, Brook Stanley lays out the truth: happiness doesn’t come from what we receive in love, but from who we choose to be in it.

"All I expect of you, truthfully, is to let me be the me I aspire to be."
That line echoes the soul of the song—and the spirit of this life philosophy: we’re here to give, not get. Every relationship is a chance to express the highest version of who we are.

🎶 Love isn’t about what you get—it’s about who you get to be when you give.


Give Not Get

Memory lies in gentle ways—
smoothing edges, sweetening truth,
building a perfect version of love no one could live up to.

It’s Just Not Fair is a quiet reckoning with that kind of memory—
the kind that lingers, idealized and untouchable,
casting shadows on the loves that came after.

A song about the ache we carry,
and the echoes we can’t quite let fade.
