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

Summer In London

Waiting

Once invited in by his catchy guitar style, hit by his unique voice, you will soon recognize that that this guy is not messing around. Timo Brandt never sounds like he's trying to write a hit, but his songs won't get out of your mind quickly.

Timo's new album „Grounded“ is out now. It is a collection of ten songs that were given enough time to grow and develop. Timo, playing guitar and piano on the record, is joined by some great guest musicians including; UK/German Duo of Archer und Tripp on Clarinet and Percussion; his Dutch friend Ardie van der Knijff aka „Paper Branches“ delivered some amazing cello tunes; as well as German singer „Rina“, who created some beautiful female backing vocals. This album revolves in it's very own sphere that takes you from one song to another.

Music & Lyrics by Philip Whitehead

Like a maze, the first half is free
The second takes you farther away from me
What kind of world we'd be
If no-one heard him say I have a dream

They said we'll fight them on the beach, yeah
Like it's a good thing to give each his end
Never mind what the good book teaches
Ignore the gospel that his creatures send

And it goes a little something
Like you wanted it to go
Till we grow a little stronger
Than you wanted us to grow
Now we know a little better
Than you wanted us to know
So we show we stick together
Through the fire and through the snow

Like a crown, I wear my regret
Turns out the truth is just a silhouette
Made of nothing yet
We trace the outline and at once it's set

See my father in my history
And in my future he's still all I see
This kind of symmetry
Is what makes all of us so hard to beat

And it goes a little something
Like you wanted it to go
Till we grow a little stronger
Than you wanted us to grow
Now we know a little better
Than you wanted us to know
So we show we stick together
Through the fire and through the snow

Released 6th September 2019

📝 Lyrics:

Lay down your head on my shoulder
lay down with me
take another second just to breathe you in
Cos I've got you
I've got you

Time is my enemy forever letting you go
time is my nemesis, how do we go slow

If I've got you
I've got you

Shall we kiss once more
one for the road
lay all the sheets on the floor and just
sleep until dawn

Time is my nemesis forever letting you go
time is my enemy how do we go slow?

I've got you
I've got you

I Was Your Girl
