Never Stopped Movin’

“Dad’s Disease” is a raw, soul-baring ballad about the pain of generational addiction, broken promises, and the aching desire to break the cycle. With nothing but a guitar and a voice full of grit and heartbreak, John Brasington lays it all on the line — telling a story too many know but few are brave enough to speak aloud.

Written from the heart of a son who never wanted to inherit his father’s struggle, this song is more than a confession — it’s a cry for healing, a reckoning with the past, and a vow to do better. For anyone who’s battled addiction or watched a loved one fade because of it, this one cuts deep.

Real, unfiltered, and hauntingly beautiful — “Dad’s Disease” is a song you don’t just listen to. You feel it.

Dad’s Disease

“Can’t Take No More” is a raw, stripped-down confession from the edge of breaking. Written and performed straight from the gut, this song captures the feeling of hitting rock bottom — whether it’s heartbreak, addiction, or life just piling on too much. With nothing left to lose, the lyrics lay it all out there, backed by honest guitar work and vocals that bleed truth. If you’ve ever been pushed past your limit and still found a way to keep going — this one’s for you.

I don’t own this music at all. This is a cover song of I’m the problem by Morgan Wallen, released by him in January 2025. However, I made it my own by changing some things. I hope you like it if you hear it Wallen.

I’m the Problem

“Talk About Forever” is a tender country ballad about finding the kind of love that feels like coming home. With lyrics full of sincerity and devotion, it paints the picture of a man who’s finally ready to give everything—his time, heart, and future—to the one who makes him believe in forever. Blending warm acoustic tones with emotional storytelling, this song is for anyone who’s ever looked into someone’s eyes and known they were the one.

Talk About 4eva

A song about the kind of love that feels like shelter — where time slows down, the world fades away, and all that matters is the person beside you. “You Are My Home” is a quiet confession of devotion, built on soft chords, stormy nights, and the kind of connection that makes even the rain feel warm.

Written and recorded straight from the heart. Hope it brings you peace.

Get Gone

You Don't Know How It Feels Acoustic

“It’s Not What It Looks Like” is a raw and emotionally charged song that cuts straight through denial and regret. With haunting melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and a stripped-back delivery, this track tells the story of love misunderstood, moments misread, and the pain of trying to explain the unexplainable. It’s a confession wrapped in melody — for anyone who’s ever been caught in a moment they couldn’t talk their way out of, even if their heart was clean. Vulnerable, honest, and soul-stirring.

On The Other Hand

“Sometimes Good Guys Don’t Win” is a raw and honest reflection of heartbreak, disappointment, and the weight of trying to be enough. With stripped-down guitars, ambient textures, and a vocal performance that cuts deep, this song tells the story of what happens when love slips away — no matter how hard you tried to hold on. It’s for the ones who gave it their all and still walked away empty-handed.

Let the words sink in. Let the silence speak louder. Sometimes, good guys don’t win… but they sure as hell leave a mark.

Real Love

Press ▶️ and rewind to the glory days of big‑hair FM radio. “80z” is my love‑letter to neon nights, dusty cassette decks, and the heart‑thumping rush of a hook you can’t shake loose.
 

Vibe: Sunset‑drive nostalgia—think shimmering guitar riffs, tape‑deck warmth, and a chorus built to blast from a boombox on the boardwalk.
Story: I wrote this one staring at an old radio that still smells like beach air and vinyl seats. Every spin of the dial felt like another memory I couldn’t quite let go…so I turned it into a song.
Highlights:
Verses that drift like headlights down an empty coastal highway.
A bridge that cranks the tension, then drops you into a final chorus that finally sets you free.
Analog‑tinged mix with just enough hiss and shimmer to feel like 1987 all over again.
 
If the track takes you back—or forward—hit ❤️, repost, drop a comment, and let’s keep the radio on all night. Thanks for listening.

80’z Radio

A Man Unchained is my confession‑turned‑battle‑cry—three and a half minutes of sweat, scars, and second chances.
I wrote it after crawling out of a year that nearly took me under. Every line is a postcard from rock bottom: bathroom‑tile prayers, courthouse weddings to addiction, and finally that moment grace “broke right on in.” The track rides a gritty southern‑rock groove in G major, guitars smoldering at ~100 BPM while the drums drive like boot‑heels on concrete. If you’ve fought your own demons—or are still throwing punches—I hope this song lights the way forward.

Best Of Intentions

🎵 Georgia – John B.
This one’s personal.

“Georgia” is about the one that got away — and the place that won’t let go. It’s heartbreak with twang. A confession wrapped in steel strings and southern air.
I wrote this for anyone who’s ever looked back across a state line and still felt the pull. You can move on, but some names stay carved in your chest.

No smoke, no polish — just me, my guitar, and the truth.

Georgia

My stripped-down take on one of Eric Church’s most powerful songs. “Record Year” is a heartbreak anthem soaked in vinyl and memory—and I wanted to capture that same raw emotion in this version.

This one’s for anyone who’s ever used music to piece themselves back together.

🎙️ Vocals, 🎸 Guitar – all me.

Thanks for listening. Let me know what song healed your heart during your own record year.

Record Year

A glass of red, an ocean breeze, and a country groove—here’s my take on Blake Shelton’s “Sangria.” I stripped the track back to spotlight the guitar and poured a little coastal soul into the vocal, letting the rhythm breathe like a slow summer night. Hit play, swirl a little somethin’, and let the melody do the talking.
