Name: WHERE IT STILL HURTS by Cowboy Ted
Duration: 3 min 49 s
Description: A song about survival, pain, and the fight to keep going when every prayer and every mile still circles back to the wound.

[Verse 1]
In a curve of a whitewashed wall
A narrow alcove, standing tall
A weathered slab of ancient stone
A secret whispered, a seed is sown
Words of white on a faded grey
Catch the light of the passing day

[Pre-Chorus]
An electricity meter hangs beside
A strange and telling, stark divide
But my eyes trace the painted script
A silent truth from a surface chipped

[Chorus]
They say it's not compassion's art
Not a kind and giving heart
That's where two people stand apart
A different ending, a different start
To love is to be lost inside the one
The 'I' is gone, the self undone

[Verse 2]
Compassion needs a helping hand
Two separate souls on shifting sand
There's one who gives and one who takes
For goodness and for pity's sakes
But the stone says love is not that game
It doesn't even know its name

[Verse 3]
A box of numbers, cold and clean
Measures the power for the scene
It counts the cost in black and white
Beneath the brilliant, burning light
But the dark stone speaks of a different fire
A merging born of pure desire

[Bridge]
Two rivers flowing to the sea
They lose themselves for eternity
They mix and meld and disappear
And wash away all doubt and fear
There is no border, no dividing wall
Just a surrender, a silent, willing fall

[Chorus]
Because it's not compassion's art
Not a kind and giving heart
That's where two people stand apart
A different ending, a different start
To love is to be lost inside the one
The 'I' is gone, the self undone

[Outro]
To be lost inside the one...
The self undone...
Written on a stone... in the sun...
We are one...

The self undone...

WHERE IT STILL HURTS

Nobody Knows, Nobody Sees

A slow-burning exploration of desire and intimacy, Falsetto drips with elegance and heat. Breath and melody intertwine in a voice that hovers between whisper and confession, creating an atmosphere both vulnerable and magnetic. Each note stretches and lingers, pulling the listener deeper into its tension, while subtle instrumentation leaves space for the vocals to dominate — smooth keys, warm bass, and atmospheric textures that glow like candlelight in the dark. Falsetto is the sound of restraint giving way to passion, where every sustained phrase feels like a secret shared, and every silence is filled with anticipation.
