Check Engine Heart – Track Story

“Check Engine Heart” is a high-energy, emotionally charged track about warning signs, self-awareness, and raw vulnerability. It blends Mayzon’s gritty country-rock edge, Taryn’s neon-lit K-pop emotion, and Knox’s glitch-driven chaos into a song that’s both introspective and explosive.

Mayzon Jard drives the narrative with heartfelt, rugged vocals, telling the story of recognizing the warning signs in one’s heart—moments of emotional strain, love, and tension. His guitar riffs act like the heartbeat itself: pulsing, urgent, and raw.

Taryn Del Laney adds cinematic, soaring K-pop vocals, highlighting the emotional stakes. Her melodic lines turn internal warning signals into anthemic moments of reflection and hope.

Knox Jard injects chaotic glitch elements—distorted beats, vocal stutters, and unexpected drops—symbolizing the unpredictability of emotions and the internal turbulence that comes with matters of the heart.

Song Arc / Emotional Journey:

Intro: Pulsing synths and subtle glitchy textures set a tense, emotional tone.

Verse 1: Mayzon narrates noticing the “check engine” signs—emotional fatigue, love under strain, or internal conflict.

Pre-Chorus: Builds tension with layered vocals and rising glitch percussion, signaling emotional urgency.

Chorus: Explosive and cathartic: “Check engine heart, warning lights on / Keep me from breaking, keep me strong.” All three voices combine, with glitch accents punctuating key phrases.

Verse 2 / Bridge: Knox adds chaotic energy—beats fracture, synths bend, vocals stutter—representing the unpredictability and messiness of feelings.

Final Chorus / Outro: Full-throttle climax with guitars, synths, glitch effects, and layered harmonies, leaving the listener both energized and emotionally connected.

A trusted troubadour for hot summer nights and cold beers, Owen is now in his forties, tangling with separations from lost lovers, raising kids, and growing out of the fresh-faced kid that headed down to Nashville 20 years back with a six-string and a dream.  Case in point: Dreams to Dream, Owen’s long-awaited, Shooter Jennings-co-produced foray into classic, honky-tonk country, out November 7 via Good Company Entertainment. Dreams to Dream, Owen’s first independent studio album, featuring 10 original tracks and two stellar covers, tells the tale of a man at a crossroads — and what it takes to set out a new path. 

Owen wasn’t expecting much when he commented on one of Shooter Jennings’ Instagram posts, half-jokingly suggesting that they make a honky-tonk record, but the producer called his bluff. Two days later, Owen’s manager had Jennings on the line and, soon, Owen was on his way to L.A. and Jennings’ Sunset Sound. It was a cozy yet electric scene: Jennings and Owen cracking jokes in the sepia-toned studio, creativity crackling as they collaborated with the likes of songwriters Ben Chapman and Kendell Marvel, as well as long-time shooter pal, guitarist/harmonic player Leroy Powell. 

“All my friends who have heard my stuff have gone, ‘Dude, Jake, this is you man. This is who you've always tried to be,’” Owen says. “Sometimes you need to get outside what's comfortable, what people think you are, or think you should be, and take a risk.”
