" CHAINS "

My creation combines elements of electronic, classical, folk, world, and country music. It transports us into a soundscape. The emotional impact evokes nostalgia. The overall atmosphere is relaxed, laid-back, and energetic. This music is very emotional in nature, exploring several themes of disappointment.

I would like to take you on a journey through your reading. Thank you all.

Cory Upton- Without You By My Side

A sensual and introspective ballad, the vocals and guitars are free to express never-ending rock feelings. Listening to it transports us back to the '60s with psychedelic sounds and lyrics.

IN THE WOOD NEXT TO ME

Blues-rock song about talking to someone who’s long gone — replaying old conversations and trying to move on, but still stuck in that loop of what you wish you’d said.

[Verse 1]
Lights are low, and the coffee’s cold,
Another night getting old.
Your ghost still walks these wooden floors,
Even though you don’t call no more.
I rehearse what I’d say if you came around,
But all I do is speak out loud...

[Chorus]
Talking to myself again,
Like you’re still on the other end.
Words I never said out loud,
Fill an empty room somehow.
I should move on, but I pretend—
Yeah, I’m talking to myself again.

[Verse 2]
Your sweater’s still on the second chair,
Guess I leave it there on a dare.
Tried dating once, didn’t last,
She smiled like you—but that passed.
Told her stories I meant for you,
Didn’t feel right, but I played it through.

[Chorus]
Talking to myself again,
Caught in a loop I can’t defend.
The jokes you’d laugh at fall flat now,
But I still say them out loud.
Guess I’m not ready to hit “The End”—
So I’m talking to myself again.

[Bridge]
Maybe someday I’ll get it right,
Quit chasing shadows in the night.
But until I do, I’ll stay right here—
Whispering words you’ll never hear...

[Guitar Solo]

[Final Chorus]
Talking to myself again,
Trying to find out where I’ve been.
Your name still fits between my lines,
Like a song I lost in time.
If silence is how this has to end,
I’ll just keep talking to myself... again.

[Outro]
Yeah, I’m talking...
Still talking to myself again.

Talking To Myself Again

Gave myself away for love, never got it back.
