🔻 Song Insight

If I Could Be is a slow-burn confession wrapped in smoke, shadows, and grit. It’s not quite country, not quite alternative, but something in between — a restless walk down a dark alley in Pennsylvania. The track pulls influence from blues, country, and 90s alt-rock but refuses to settle into any one lane, echoing the mood of The Sopranos’ theme. With raspy vocals, haunting guitar lines, and cinematic swells, the song wrestles with regret, missed chances, and the longing to rewrite the past. It’s both intimate and vast, like an empty street echoing with what might have been.

🔻 Lyrics

🌙 [Verse 1] (Soft electric guitar picking, distant vinyl crackle, melancholic tone)
Music in the air, killers on the screen
Where was I but being used, lost, and unseen?
Started life lost, from what was meant to be
No guide in sight, I wandered aimlessly

💔 [Verse 2] (Subtle drum pulse, deeper bass, haunting background synths)
You were having a worse time, that's for sure
But it didn’t make up for the hell you ensured
I couldn’t defend you, didn’t know your name
Didn’t know who you were, had no way to claim

🔥 [Chorus] (Full-band swell, soaring vocals, cinematic strings layering the emotion)
I would have done anything, come to fight for you
Stand on my own, take them down too
We could have stood together, screamed your name
Made everyone know, it’s not a game

🌊 [Verse 3] (Fading echoes, heartbeat-like drumbeat, soft backing harmonies)
It’s shitty things happened, you faced your nightmare
No one to stand for you, it wasn’t fair
Fighting alone, in a world unknown
Resigning to a love, never shown

🌌 [Verse 4] (Stripped-back piano, aching vocal delivery, slow-build tension)
If I had a time machine, I’d fix what’s wrong
Change it all, make them pay, make you strong
I’d save you, make you whole
So you’d be okay, free in soul

🔥 [Chorus – Repeat] (Bigger, raw harmonies, guitar swelling under the words)
I would have done anything, come to fight for you
Stand on my own, take them down too
We could have stood together, screamed your name
Made everyone know, it’s not a game

⚡ [Bridge] (Stripped percussion, intense whispered vocals)
If I could turn back time, I'd save us both
Know your worth, your heart, your oath
It’s not an excuse for the things you did
But I’d still save us, for a happier bid

🌙 [Verse 5] (Softer, reflective)
What made us, we were broken, so different
Yet still responsible, owning our intent
Walking this world alone, but now we see
We’re stronger together, just you and me

🔥 [Final Chorus] (Last burst of raw energy)
I would have done anything, come to fight for you
Stand on my own, take them down too
We could have stood together, screamed your name
Made everyone know, it’s not a game

🌌 [Outro] (Soft piano notes, echoes fading, heartbeat rhythm slowing)
If I had a time machine, I’d change our fate
Make things right, before it’s too late
We’d live a life, full of happiness
Free from the pain, in togetherness

🔻 Personal Reflection

This song came from imagining the life I could have given someone if I’d been there sooner — the way everything might have shifted if I could’ve stepped in, fought, or protected them. It’s about the weight of hindsight and the ache of knowing you’d change everything if you could. The song doesn’t sit in one genre because grief and regret don’t either — they wander through alleys, past neon signs, through smoky bars, and into memories that don’t fade.

picture gallery my Instagram : @edwardshu2

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms...”
