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.

My Only Tune

Ancient Words, Living Sound brings the Psalms to life with cinematic arrangements and Middle Eastern textures that echo their original setting. These timeless songs of worship, lament, trust, and praise are presented in a fresh, expressive way—faithful to Scripture and rich in emotion—drawing listeners into the heart of God's Word through music.

Psalm 121

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

This song is a powerful and uplifting message for listeners of all ages, reminding us that even when life feels dark and challenging, there is always a light within us waiting to shine. It begins by acknowledging the quiet moments when fears and doubts creep in, but encourages us not to give in to sadness. Instead, it celebrates the inner strength that helps us move forward, no matter how difficult the journey has been.

The chorus is an anthem of resilience, inviting everyone to rise from the shadows, stand tall, and break down the walls that hold us back. It inspires us to stop hiding, to face our past bravely, and to let healing begin, with courage leading the way.

As the song unfolds, it honors every bruise and tear as part of our personal stories, while encouraging us to reclaim our power and share our truths with trusted friends. Standing together, we break free and celebrate our collective strength and pride.

The bridge offers hope, reminding us that even if the road gets rocky, each new dawn brings light and opportunity. With love as our guide, we can take deep breaths, find our own paths, and chase away fears.

Ending with a message of unity, the song reassures anyone who feels lost that they are not alone. Every brave step makes a difference, and by joining together and spreading our wings, we can soar to new heights with fearless hearts.

Lyrics:

Verse 1
In the quiet of the night, when shadows creep,
I hear the whispers of fear, but I won’t weep.
Though the road has been long, and the hurt ran deep,
I carry a light inside that no one can keep.

Chorus
I rise from the shadows, I stand up tall,
With every little step, I’ll break down the wall.
No more hiding away, I’ll face what I’ve been,
With courage in my heart, I’ll let the healing begin.

Verse 2
Every bruise tells a tale, every tear has a name,
But I’m writing my story, and I'm learning to reclaim.
With friends by my side, I’ll share my truth loud,
Together we’ll break free, and stand tall and proud.

Chorus
I rise from the shadows, I stand up tall,
With every little step, I’ll break down the wall.
No more hiding away, I’ll face what I’ve been,
With courage in my heart, I’ll let the healing begin.

Bridge
Though the road may be rocky, I trust in my fight,
Every dawn brings the promise of a new light.
I’ll take a deep breath, I’ll find my own way,
With love as my guide, I’ll chase fears away.

Chorus
I rise from the shadows, I stand up tall,
With every little step, I’ll break down the wall.
No more hiding away, I’ll face what I’ve been,
With courage in my heart, I’ll let the healing begin.

Outro
So if you feel lost, know you’re never alone,
With every brave step, you’re making it known.
Together we’ll rise, together we’ll sing,
With fearless hearts united, we’ll spread our wings.

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.
