Scared

This song is based on an unfortunately true story. I did a search for someone I knew in college and I found out that she had passed quite young. I gave this song a happier ending, but it still chokes me up a bit.

LYRICS
(C)2025 Ggreg Snyder

[Intro]
I can still see her leaning on the window ledge in the dorm,
Laughing at my bad jokes,
Her notebooks full of doodles, stars and arrows,
Coffee always in her hand.
Been thirty years… and tonight I just wondered—
Where’d she end up?

[Verse 1]
I typed her middle name, the one she never used,
An age to match my own, a little trail of clues.
No picture, just a town she might’ve passed through,
I sat there chasing shadows in the screen’s blue glow.

[Chorus]
I searched for her,
With a heart full of old refrains.
I searched for her,
Through the wires and the windowpanes.

[Verse 2]
An obituary popped up, with the letters all the same,
And my chest went hollow at the weight of her name.
Thought she’d left the world a few years back,
I whispered it softly, the screen faded black.

[Chorus]
I searched for her,
And I thought I had found the end.
I searched for her,
Like a fool looking back again.

[Bridge]
But the years didn’t line up, the town was all wrong,
She never lived there, not where she belonged.
Funny how the heart can break in a minute,
Over somebody’s story with a stranger in it.

[Verse 3]
Then another page opened, a clearer trail,
Oregon skies and a wedding veil.
Two kids in the picture, smiling wide,
Her husband standing steady at her side.

[Verse 4]
And I leaned back quiet, let the silence fall,
Grateful she’d made it through it all.
Not mine to keep, but good to see,
She’s happy where she’s meant to be.

[Chorus – Reprise]
I searched for her,
Through the years and the miles that fly.
I searched for her,
And I finally found her life.

I Searched For Her

Scraping Up The Pieces

Six-piece band Delta Rae consists of Liz Hopkins and Brittany Holljes who front the robust group with sultry harmonies rounded out by Holljes’ brothers Eric (vocals, piano) and Ian (vocals, guitar) as well as Mike McKee (drums) and Grant Emerson (bass). The band who made their way to Nashville from Durham, NC chose their moniker from a mythical story the Holljes siblings’ mother wrote about a Southern girl of the same name who summons the Greek gods to earth. A regular on the festival circuit since forming in 2009, the socially-conscious band’s larger-than-life performances have earned coveted spots most recently at Country 2 Country (London, Scotland) in addition to Bonnaroo, Tortuga Music Festival, Austin City Limits, Hangout Fest, VOODOO and Lollapalooza. They have received national attention with features in NPR, Washington Post and New York Times in addition to multiple late night performances and inclusion in Forbes' 30 Under 30 list. They were recently named by CMT as a “18 for 2018” Listen Up artist with both Rolling Stone and Billboard touting Delta Rae as "Artists to Watch.” Beginning September 5 at The Basement in Nashville, the troupe will begin their 16-week Delta Rae Revival that features the perfect mix of light and dark sounds and an immersive audience experience. They will perform songs from their Valory Music Co. EP’s A LONG AND HAPPY LIFE and THE BLACKBIRD SESSIONS as well as introduce fresh music into the set each week, plus invite special guests throughout the residency.
