When your telescope eyes 
Meet my dreaming ones, 
I’m sprawled out on the roof, 
Bathed in the glow of a city 
That’s never truly awake. 

You’re somewhere far away, 
Tracing constellations 
With your careful fingers, 
Whispering their names into the night.

I imagine your breath fogging the lenses 
Of your extraordinary glasses 
As you search for the distant glimmer 
Of my world—and I wonder 
If you know just how close I feel to you, 
Even with millions of miles 
Stretching between us.

The air smells of rain that never arrives, 
While I clutch that crumpled postcard 
You sent it last summer—
The one with the rocket, 
Its ink is blurred by your hurried scribbles. 

I study it intently, 
Aligning its faded words with the stars, 
Trying to uncover some secret message 
I must have missed. 

You always say I look at things too closely—
That sometimes 
You just have to let them 
Be beautiful without 
Needing them to make sense.

Maybe that’s why I love you.

When Your Eyes of Telescope Find My Eyes of Dreaming

I'm Hoping You Feel The Same

Winter Nights is an intimate and soulful Christmas album where James Housten captures the quiet beauty, nostalgia, and reflection of winter evenings through deep soul and timeless holiday classics. With his signature warm baritone voice, rich emotional delivery, and elegant arrangements, James presents Christmas not as spectacle, but as a moment of stillness, warmth, and coming home.

This album breathes calm, depth, and maturity — made for late nights, soft lights, and moments when memories gently surface. From heartfelt interpretations of beloved Christmas songs to spiritual, stripped-back moments that leave room for silence and reflection, Winter Nights invites the listener to slow down and truly feel the season.

Winter Nights is not background music —
it is a listening experience.
An invitation to pause, look back, and move forward with grace.

ThisisRnB Presents: Acoustic Sessions Vol. 2 (Guitar Sessions)

Throughout the years that we’ve been running ThisisRnB.com, our original acoustic sessions series has been one of the most rewarding and enriching things that we’ve done. From the earliest developments of it and curating our process over the years, we couldn’t be more honored and proud of the content that has been created through these sessions.

While the videos live on our YouTube channel, we’ve always felt like it would be nice to do something with the audio recordings as well.

So, after revisiting the sessions, we’ve gathered and created playlists broken down into two simple styles–piano sessions and guitar sessions. We are currently releasing them online for free streaming as our gift to you!

Thank you all for watching and supporting us over the years. Thank you to all the artists who allowed us to help capture these amazing performances, along with all the publicists, managers, and record label associates who helped facilitate them. Thank you to all the engineers and studios as well, we couldn’t have done this without you.
