Momma’s Home Cook’n

Verse 1
Roosters crow’n with the morning light - and we rise at the brink of dawn
Coffees on hot and it’s say goodbye to tired eyes, get your britches on

Pre-Chorus 1
Fields need tending 
Horses need grain
Working hard in the Sun and the pouring rain
Tired as a dog at the end of the day
Then it’s grits - and we all
Come runnin

Chorus
Ohhh, it’s like a country song
And we’re all gonna sing along
We love Mommas home cooking
Daddy by the fire 
Drinking whiskey, telling stories
Till the night is gone 

Verse 2
Bareback on the trail and we’re riding high
That’s how it’s done here on long day stables 
Hauling to the shows another rodeo
Yeah, it’s on, and we’re running the table 

PreChorus 2
Driving all night 
Horses need grain
Riding hard in the sun and the pouring rain
Tired as a dog at the end of the day
Then it’s grits and we all come running

Chorus
Oh, it’s like a country song
And we’re all gonna sing along
We love Mommas home cooking
Daddy by the fire 
Drinking whiskey, telling stories
Till the night is gone 

Bridge into Solo
And we all come running home 

Verse 3
40 years later and I’m driving by but it’s gone, another subdivision
No fields, no silo, the barn and the house all gone, all gone

Outro
But in my memories,
The horses need grain, and we’re riding hard in the sun and the rain.
Im still tired as a dog at the end of the day
I yell grits, yeah, I’m always running home
And we all come running home

Too Long feat Colby Gray

Written By: Michael Conover

Sunset paints the sky in gold 
Dusty roads and tales untold 
Got my boots on, heart wide open 
Every mile feels like a token 
With you beside me, there’s no fear 
Chasing dreams 

Are you up for it? Let’s take a ride 
With the wind at our backs and the world as our guide 
We’ll laugh till we cry under neon lights
Dance through the night with our hearts feeling right 
Oh baby, are you up for it? 
Let’s not wait—  Life’s a wild song we’ll create 

Remember when we stole that kiss?  Underneath that old oak tree bliss?  
You whispered secrets to the moon above 
A promise wrapped in all our love 
Through every storm and every fight 
We found our way back to the light 

Are you up for it? Let’s take a ride 
With the wind at our backs and the world as our guide 
We’ll laugh till we cry under neon lights Dance through the night with our hearts feeling right 
Oh baby, are you up for it? 
Let’s not wait—  Life’s a wild song we’ll create 

(Hey!)

So here’s my hand 
I’m reaching out 
For all those dreams we've talked about Let’s leave behind what holds us down 
In this little town where love is found 

(Hey!)

Up For It

"Magnolia Tree" is an alt-country/Americana/folk song that evokes a deep sense of longing and connection to home. With its vivid imagery of magnolia trees, crooked roads, and open fields, the song captures the essence of returning to a place where the heart truly belongs. The lyrics reflect a yearning for the simplicity of life and the powerful pull of cherished memories tied to a specific place. Fans of bands like The Avett Brothers, Ryan Adams, Wilco, and The Civil Wars will appreciate the heartfelt storytelling and the blend of Americana and folk elements that give "Magnolia Tree" its warm, nostalgic feel.

Oh to see
Those good old magnolia trees
Going Home to where I ought to be
So my heart can be free
Where crooked roads and open fields
Make the wildflowers grow
To the the life I know
Like a bird, I want to fly away
And find those summer days
I am leaving today
I think I'll fly away
To that magnolia to stay

Under the wild magnolia tree 
I was holding you close to me
We carved our names for all to see
My heart knows your the one for me
Under those white blossoms 
Is where I need to be
So wait for me
Like a bird, I want to fly away
And find those summer days
I am leaving today
I think I'll fly away
To that magnolia to stay

Slip N Slide centers the feelings of pain surrounding heartbreak. These are the very emotions that paved my entry into making music. We've all been through our love trials and breakups, and if you haven't yet...it's probably on its way. All I know is, it showed me the way and made me who I am today. Know who is good to keep around and know who drains your energy. Hope yall vibe with this one.

Once in a lifetime

Get out of My Way

If you fought and they  walked away let them, the fight requires 2 not 1. it will hurt but have peace if you did all you could you canf fight their fight only yours, hold on to the memories that were beautiful  and full of love, you cant fight if there is nobody  there to fight for just let it go as much as it hurts true love hurts when it is selfless and selfless means  to let them go,  hold on to the love they  gave and be thankful for that moment god will never walk away and god is enough always  

FAITH IS NOT TO DENY YOUR  REALITY  IS NOT LETTIGN YOUR REALITY DENY YOUR FAITH . 
this song aint about revenge its about revelation
its the sound of a soul that met god and realized when light steps into love darkness dont disappear quietly
it fights it claws it tempts it tests
and sometimes it wins for a moment

heaven dont come easy is a raw confession wrapped in warfare
a song for the one who felt love slipping through their fingers not because it wasnt real but because the enemy saw what it could become
its for the one who ran when the battle got heavy
the one who thought distance would bring peace not knowing the fight followed them inside

this aint pointing fingers its holding up a mirror
it whispers to the heart still haunted by what ifs
reminding them divine love dont end when the relationship does
it lingers it convicts it calls you home

because when god writes the story even separation got purpose
and sometimes the hardest goodbye is just heavens way of shaking hell off your soul

HEAVEN DONT COME EASY

I kept pushing you away 
But I didn't wanna lose you 
Now I’m uncertain why I'd choose to? 

My mind ain’t working okay

I could feel the fire in you fade
We couldn’t burn like we used to
I hope you don’t think that I confused you

Whoa I got tired of fighting
Couldn’t keep on righting the wrong
You'll never find me
All broken apart now you’re gone

Don’t get the feeling you fine dear 
You’re like the fool you been grinding
Sometimes the truth it can be blinding
Til you look and learn that you got it all wrong

Not every battle you fightin’
Will turn your wrongs into rightings
In case you still need reminding
I ain’t messed up now you’re gone

Oh no you can’t find me
Too bad you can’t find me
I ain’t messed up now 

You’re gone

Whoa I got tired of fighting
Couldn’t keep on righting the wrong
You'll never find me
All broken apart now you’re gone

Whoa now you can’t find me
Too bad you can't find me
You can no longer like me
Don't care you don’t like me
Don’t need you behind me
I don’t need you behind me

Too bad you can't find me
Whoa now you can’t find me
Don't care you don’t like me
Whoa you don’t like me
Don’t need you behind me
I ain't messed up now you're gone

Epilogue: A New Place Called Home

Description:
This piece is the emotional epilogue to the transmedia novel "Hinter uns das Land" ("The Land Behind Us"). Like the final, quiet scene of a play, it offers a moment of reflection after the journey's end. It's the musical answer to a lifelong question: Where is home when the world you knew is gone?

The lyrics, "Now I’ve found a new place called home / In the heart / Where love has grown," are the resolution, sung from a place of hard-won peace.

Musical Atmosphere:
The arrangement unfolds not like an overture, but like a final, gentle curtain call. A delicate acoustic guitar arpeggio provides the foundation, like a steady heartbeat. A lyrical flute melody weaves in, reminiscent of a distant memory. Soft harp glissandi add a sense of grace and closure, while the warm, sustaining tones of the French horn offer deep comfort. The oboe enters with a poignant counter-melody, speaking of wisdom earned through sorrow, and the violin adds the final, expressive sweeps of emotion. Together, they create a chamber-like tapestry that feels less like a beginning and more like a soft, settling silence—the sound of acceptance after a long struggle.

This is the final musical statement, composed to leave the listener with a sense of closure and quiet strength.

Epilog: Ein Ort namens Heimat

Beschreibung:
Dieses Stück ist der emotionale Epilog zum Transmedia-Roman "Hinter uns das Land". Wie die letzte, stille Szene eines Theaterstücks bietet es einen Moment der Reflexion, nachdem die Reise längst gegangen ist. Es ist die musikalische Antwort auf eine lebenslange Frage: Wo ist Heimat, wenn die Welt, die man kannte, fort ist?

Die Zeilen "Now I’ve found a new place called home / In the heart / Where love has grown" (Nun habe ich einen neuen Ort namens Zuhause gefunden / Im Herzen / Wo Liebe gewachsen ist) sind die Auflösung, gesungen aus einem Ort des erkämpften Friedens.

Musikalische Atmosphäre:
Das Arrangement entfaltet sich nicht wie eine Ouvertüre, sondern wie ein letzter, sanfter Vorhang. Ein zartes Akustikgitarren-Arpeggio bildet das Fundament, einem gleichmäßigen Herzschlag gleich. Eine lyrische Flötenmelodie spinnt sich ein, gleich einer fernen Erinnerung. Sanfte Harfenklänge verleihen ein Gefühl von Anmut und Abschluss, während die warmen, haltenden Töne des French Horns tiefen Trost spenden. Die Oboe setzt mit einer ergreifenden Gegenmelodie ein, die von einer durch Leid errungenen Weisheit erzählt, und die Geige fügt die letzten, ausdrucksstarken Emotionen hinzu. Gemeinsam weben sie einen kammermusikalischen Teppich, der sich nicht wie ein Anfang, sondern wie eine sanft sich setzende Stille anfühlt – der Klang der Annahme nach einem langen Kampf.

Dies ist die letzte musikalische Aussage, komponiert, um den Hörer mit einem Gefühl des Abschlusses und stiller Stärke zurückzulassen.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I lost so much
I can't deny
War tried to break me
I asked why
Tears fell like rivers
Never dry

[Pre-Chorus]
But through the ashes
I could see
A spark of light that set me free

[Chorus]
Now I’ve found a new place called home
In the heart
Where love has grown
Looking back
It was all good
Didn’t know it
But I understood
Strength was waiting
All along

[Verse 2]
Scars tell a story
Lines on my skin
Each one a battle I fought within
The end was a start
Not where I’d been

[Pre-Chorus]
Through the shadows
Through the fight
I built a world from shattered light

[Chorus]
Now I’ve found a new place called home
In the heart
Where love has grown
Looking back
It was all good
Didn’t know it
But I understood
Strength was waiting
All along
