Reason

"Whispers of a Broken Heart," is a deeply melancholic and introspective country ballad that paints a vivid picture of profound heartbreak and loneliness.

Set to a slow, mournful pace in E Major, the music features the gentle strumming and sorrowful melodies of an acoustic guitar, complemented by the poignant strains of a fiddle and the soulful sigh of an electric guitar, with light, delicate percussion adding to the fragile atmosphere. The style is classic country ballad, allowing the raw emotion of the story to take center stage.

The mood is one of aching sorrow, desolation, and longing. Through tender yet increasingly anguished vocals, the song tells a story of lost love, echoing through an empty house filled with fading memories and shattered dreams. It explores the depths of a "broken heart," the pain of absence, and the despair of "walking this lonesome road" with hope dwindling, making for a truly heartfelt and sorrowful listening experience.

Verse 1:
Dust motes dance in the fading light,
mirroring the tears blurring my sight.
This empty house echoes with your name,
a hollow whisper, a fading flame.

 My heart, it aches, a wounded dove,
 Each silent beat, a whispered love,
 Now fractured shards, scattered and torn,
 A symphony of sorrow, eternally sworn.  

Chorus:
 Oh, whispers of a broken heart,
 Echoing through the lonely night.
 Your absence leaves a hollow space,
 A silent prayer in this desolate embrace.

Verse 2:
We built a world on whispered dreams,
 Now shattered pieces, it seems.
 The memories linger, bittersweet,
 A love that faded, cold and defeat.

 I chase the ghosts of yesterday,
 Hoping to find you in the fray.
 But all I find are empty rooms,
 And empty promises beneath moonlit glooms.  My soul is steeped in despair!

Chorus:
 Oh, whispers of a broken heart,
 Echoing through the lonely night.
 Your absence leaves a hollow space,
 A silent prayer in this desolate embrace.

Bridge:
I clutch the memories, frail and thin,
 A fragile lifeline, woven within,
 But even hope, now starts to wane,
 And leaves me lost, in sorrow's domain.

Chorus:
 Oh, whispers of a broken heart,
 Echoing through the lonely night.
 Your absence leaves a hollow space,
 A silent prayer in this desolate embrace.

Whispers Of A Broken Heart

“My Only Tune" is an intimate indie-pop confession about circling closer, heart to heart, word by word. It’s the ache of wanting to know and be known, the hope that love is heard even in silence. For anyone who’s ever felt the tide pull them toward someone—and hoped the song was mutual. Play this when you’re caught in that sweet, dizzying in-between.

No One Loves The Way You Do Adele _ NEW 2025

We Said Goodbye

The finale. The celebration. The moment where everything comes together. After all the struggles, the invisible battles, the noise of the world, the questions, the confessions — this song is the answer.

I wanted this track to feel like joy exploding after the storm. Like the weight finally lifting, and the reminder crashing through: we’re not meant to fight alone. Horns blaring, choirs shouting, stomps and claps echoing through the street — a fight song turned into a party. A giddy, messy, human celebration that says: we made it.

For me, “Never Alone (Reprise)” is the moment where the whole record stands up together. It’s a parade through the city after the battle’s over, a reminder that even when life breaks us down, we rise again. It’s not polished, it’s not quiet, it’s not perfect. It’s a celebration of survival, of community, of love that refuses to give up.

If “Invisible Wars” began with hidden battles, “Never Alone” ends with victory in plain sight. It’s the full circle — from whisper to anthem. From isolation to unity. From fear to love.
This is the song I want ringing in people’s ears long after the album ends. Not the battles, not the noise, not the apologies. The reminder. The celebration. The truth.

✨ We are never alone.

Never Alone

I wrote this song for you to help explain what it feels like when things are really hard and everything seems sad. The song is called “Hold On to the Light.” In the beginning, I sing about feeling tired and lonely—like when you have a really tough day and nothing feels bright or happy. Sometimes, when I sing, my voice sounds a little shaky because I want you to know it’s okay to feel sad.

But as the song goes on, it gets a little stronger and happier. That’s because even when things feel really dark, I can find a tiny bit of hope inside me. The part of the song called the chorus is a reminder for both of us to keep holding on to that little bit of hope, even if it feels very small. That hope is what helps us keep going.

Later in the song, I sing about picking up all the pieces of myself and being kind to every part, even the ones that feel hurt. I learned that even the things that made me sad can help me grow into someone even more special. At the end, I sing very softly, “I hold on to the light,” because that’s what I want you to remember: we can get through hard times, and we can learn to love ourselves again, even if we’ve been sad before.

This song is my way of telling you that you are never alone in how you feel, and even a tiny bit of hope is enough to help us keep moving forward.

Verse 1:
All the colors faded out,
The world is painted gray,
I wear my worries like a shroud,
Just trying to make it through the day.

My hands are trembling, hope feels thin,
The silence louder than the storm,
A stranger in my own skin,
Longing for a place that’s warm.

Pre-Chorus:
The mirror shows the lines I’ve traced,
With every tear I fought to hide,
I fold my heart in empty space,
Still waiting for the tide.

Chorus:
But when the night is longest,
And the dark is closing in,
I find a tiny ember
Burning quietly within.

I hold on to the light,
However small it seems,
I carry it through midnight—
Protecting all my dreams.

Verse 2:
I gather every broken part,
Like stars fallen in the dust,
I press them gently to my heart,
Swearing not to give them up.

Bridge:
I am more than all my shadows,
More than every lonely night,
In every scar, a garden grows,
Reaching upward to the light.

Final Chorus:
I hold on to the light,
Through every wave and fall,
I let it fill the cracks inside,
Until I can stand tall.

I hold on to the light,
Through sorrow, fear, and pain—
And when the morning finds me,
I’ll rise and love again.

OUTRO:

I hold on to the light…
I hold on to the light…
I hold on to the light…

When I'm Gone

River Of Time

Young Love (Strong Love)

We are Cowboy Cadence—Bruce Jahn, Kathy Trevelyan, Ben Fortescue, and Sarah Fortescue—and for a decade, from 1985 to 1995, we operated as a fiercely independent musical ensemble. Our guiding principle was always authentic self-expression, and that meant we were involved in every single aspect of our creative journey. From the very first note written and the arrangements we crafted, to performing all the instruments and vocals, we handled it all. We even took on the meticulous tasks of recording and mixing right there in our own home setups, completely eschewing external producers, writers, or engineers. This deeply autonomous approach wasn't just a choice; it was essential for us to ensure our unique vision and genuine voice shone through in every piece of music we created.

This commitment to doing things our way truly shaped our diverse repertoire, which spanned heartfelt Country tunes, whimsical Children's songs, and playful Comedic pieces. While our primary focus remained firmly on crafting and perfecting our recordings, we also cherished the opportunities to share our distinctively homespun sound with others. We performed live at local fairs and various community venues, finding joy in those direct connections. However, we deliberately chose to limit our live events, a conscious decision to avoid the kind of intense spotlight and stardom often involved in the music industry. For us, it was always about the music itself, and the freedom to create it on our own terms.
