Get Gone

You Don't Know How It Feels Acoustic

Thought You Should Know

Real Love is a heartfelt ballad about healing, growth, and finding the kind of love that lifts you up instead of tearing you down. With raw emotion and honest storytelling, this song contrasts a painful past with the peace and stability of a new beginning. It’s about finally being seen, finally being believed, and finally being loved for real. If you’ve ever walked away from a toxic love and found someone who makes life feel light again, this one’s for you.

Real Love

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.
