The Beautiful Letdown (Our Version) [Deluxe Edition]

This Is Your Life (Noah Gundersen Version)

Eulogize

No Love For A Sinner

Save Me From Myself

These Chains is a raw, faith-driven hard-rock anthem from Risen & Reckless — a cry for freedom from the weight of guilt, fear, and everything that keeps us bound. With thunderous drums, ripping guitars, and a voice that refuses to back down, this track hits like a battle cry for redemption. It’s not about religion — it’s about breaking loose, standing tall, and finding strength through faith when the world tries to hold you down.

These Chains

I learned to make a fist from my older brother at five,
and trust me, that skill’s kept me alive more times than I can count.
He showed me how to square up before I knew how to spell my name.
We didn’t have bedtime stories—we had bruises and broken lamps.
Mama prayed, Daddy drank, and we ducked when the shouting started.
I wore my first scar like a badge and never asked for a refund.
By seven, I knew how to take a hit and how to hide the tears.
By ten, I stopped hiding anything at all.
I’m a fighter, always have been, even when I didn’t want to be.
This skin’s beyond thin—it’s paper stretched over dynamite.
One twist, one wrong word, and I’m back in the ring.
It’s not about winning—it’s about not backing down.
I’ve thrown punches in parking lots and whispered apologies in hospital rooms.
I’ve fought for love, for pride, for silence, for nothing.
Sometimes I fight just to feel something that isn’t shame.
Sometimes I fight because it’s the only thing I trust to stay.
I’ve been hit by friends, by strangers, by truths I wasn’t ready for.
I’ve lost teeth, lost time, lost the thread of who I was supposed to be.
I’ve seen the look in her eyes when she realized I wasn’t safe to love.
I’ve walked out of rooms I should’ve stayed in and stayed in fights I should’ve walked from.
I’ve buried the best parts of me under layers of defense.
I’ve told myself I’m fine while bleeding through my shirt.
I’ve made peace with the fact that peace never made time for me.
I’ve stared down mirrors and dared them to blink first.
I don’t romanticize the damage—I just carry it.
I don’t ask for forgiveness—I just keep moving.
I don’t know what healing looks like, but I know what survival costs.
I don’t cry anymore, but I still flinch when someone says “safe.”
I’m the kind of man who’d die from a blow he didn’t see coming.
Not because he’s weak, but because he’s always looking the other way.
I’ve got stories stitched into my knuckles and regrets tattooed on my ribs.
I’ve got a heart that punches back and a mind that won’t stay quiet.
I’ve got a past that won’t let go and a future I don’t trust.
I’ve got one truth left: I fight.
Not for glory. Not for fame.
Just because that’s what got me down the line.
That’s just me.
No anthem. No apology.
Just a man who learned to swing
and never stopped.
That’s just me.(That’s just me.)That’s just me.
That’s just me.(That’s just me.)That’s just me.
That’s just me.(That’s just me.)That’s just me.
That’s just me.(That’s just me.)That’s just me

That’s Just Me Rusty Marshall Band

No More Time (Friday)

(Verse 1)  
You said “forever,” I believed,  
Now forever’s what deceived.  
Your halo glowed, but turned to frost,  
In your light, I got lost.  

(Pre-Chorus)  
I tried to breathe your memory,  
But it froze inside of me.  

(Chorus)  
Cold halo — shine no more,  
You’re the love I can’t restore.  
Every dream turns black and blue,  
Since I fell for you.  

(Verse 2)  
Your touch was like a frozen spark,  
Lit my soul, then left it dark.  
I trace your ghost in every sound,  
But peace is never found.  

(Bridge)  
I’ll wear your light till I decay,  
Love’s the price I’ll pay.  

(Outro)  
Cold halo — fade to dust,  
You were heaven I can’t trust.  


Cold Halo

Crossing the River

[Verse]
On the other side the river flows
A cabin waits where the pine trees grow
Simple walls but they feel like gold

[Chorus]
Crossing the river
I’m coming home
Crossing the river
No more to roam
Crossing the river
Where I belong

[Verse 2]
The water’s cold
The current’s fast
But my longing pulls me
I’ll make it last
Each step closer
Shadows are cast

[Bridge]
The moonlight dances on the stream
Feels like a memory
Feels like a dream
Oh this is more than it seems

[Chorus]
Crossing the river
I’m coming home
Crossing the river
No more to roam
Crossing the river
Where I belong

Our Last Goodbyes (Katie OST)

This original indie-folk track confronts cultural compromise, desensitization to sin, and works-based faith.  A gritty, acoustic call to repentance: Modern religion sells cheap grace, but salvation is not by your works—only by the cross. Hear the urgent warning: The Judge is coming. Repent and believe. 

Only the Cross Only Believe

A Toast to Serendipity

In the beginning, when I was young, I just hummed my own songs, but forgot about them the next day. It wasn't until I retired that I started producing music.

 I am a trained designer and sculptor, my interest in music has existed since I was young. But it was only after I retired that I started producing music. The diversity in music is a conscious choice. The joy and opportunity to create your own music is probably the most driving force.
Music has always meant a lot to me.

We have started replacing all our songs from Mp3 to Wav, for better sound quality.

Today we are available in the following places: Spotify, You Tube Music, Tik Tok, Amazon, Pandoro, Deezer, Tidal, iHeartRadio, Claro Música, Saavn, Boomplay, Anghami, NetEase, Tencent, Qobuz (beta) Joox, Kuack Media, Adaptr, Flo, MediaNet, Soundcloud etc.
