The pre-chorus highlights the theme of inner strength and partnership, encouraging listeners to believe in their ability to overcome obstacles together. The chorus serves as an emotional climax, with Mr.FLEN expressing a powerful commitment to his loved one, despite the highs and lows they face.

Through The Storm

A song about a man who thought he'd never find love again, but was wrong

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
I thought I knew love, but I was wrong
My heart was  empty, like an unfinished song
Then you came along, and everything changed
You filled my world with love, my life was rearranged

Chorus:
You're my second chance, my forever love
A love that fits me like a glove
With you, I know I'm finally home
In your arms, I'll never be alone

Verse 2:
Your love's a force, so strong and true
It lifts me up, and makes me new
You're the missing piece, I've been searching for
With you by my side, I know I'll soar

Chorus:
You're my second chance, my forever love
A love that fits me like a glove
With you, I know I'm finally home
In your arms, I'll never be alone

Bridge:
I never knew love could feel this way
But you've shown me, every single day
That love is real, and it's here to stay
With you, my love, I'll never stray

Chorus:
You're my second chance, my forever love
A love that fits me like a glove
With you, I know I'm finally home
In your arms, I'll never be alone

Outro:
I'm so grateful for this second chance
To love again, to take this dance
With you, my love, I've found my way
Together, forever, is where we'll stay

Second Chance

Summer Breeze

she calls the cold streets home
her companion only emptiness 
she falls down and sleeps alone (in)
a dark corner she finds comfortless 

she always holds her phone
like she's waiting on a friend to call (as)
if someone that she's known
is contemplating if she's alive at all (but)

there's no hope
you can see it in her eyes
she's knows it's o-ver (and it's)
only gonna be a little more time

before she's gone
before she's no longer unnoticed on
the cold streets 
that she calls home (and she wonders)

will the streets feel colder when she's gone
will streets feel empty when there's one (less)
hopeless
homeless girl here living on
the cold streets
that she calls home

wont somebody reach out
to help me
to hold me
to remember me
when i felt like
people saw a person in me

reach out
push the buttons with my numbers
because you remember me
reach out
because somebody can remember 
there used to be
a person in me  

before she's gone
before she's no longer unnoticed on
the cold streets 
that she calls home (and she wonders)

before she's gone
you can see it in her eyes
she even knows it's over
and there's no more time, a little more time

before she's gone
before she's no longer unnoticed on
the cold streets 
that she calls home (and she wonders)

 
wont somebody reach out
to help me
to hold me
to remember me
when i felt like
people saw a person in me

reach out
push the buttons with my numbers
because you remember me
reach out
because somebody can remember 
there used to be
a person in me  

reach out
push the buttons with my numbers
because you remember me
reach out
because somebody can remember 
there used to be
a person in me

Allow Tom's powerful storytelling to guide you toward a deeper connection with your own journey of self-discovery and authenticity. This playlist is your soundtrack to embracing your truth.

"‘The Imposter’ is probably the most personal song I’ve ever written. It’s about that inner voice we all have—the one that tells us we’re not good enough, that we don’t belong. I wanted to capture that feeling of vulnerability, but also the hope that comes from confronting those thoughts and realizing that we’re not alone in feeling this way. My hope is that anyone who listens can find a bit of comfort in knowing they’re not the only one struggling with these feelings."

[ LYRICS ]
창 밖을 바라보며 숨겨온 눈물
궁중의 화려함 갇혀버린 내 모습
자유롭게 거닐던 그 시절의 꽃밭 
맑은 바람과 함께 춤을 추던 나

권력과 황금의 족쇄를 차고  
비단길 걸으며 꿈을 꾸는 곳 
진정한 내 모습 가둔 채로 살아가 
궁중의 화려함 속 숨을 죽인 채

왕관의 무게 매일매일 견뎌내
남 몰래 흘리는 황후의 눈물 
한없이 그리운 과거의 향기
뜨거운 눈물이 흘러내린다

기억 속 그 날들 점점 희미해져
눈부신 왕관 아래 어긋난 꿈들
조용한 정원 별빛들의 속삭임  
돌아갈 수 없는 어린 시절의 추억

높은 성벽 너머 세상을 그리며
마음 속 깊은 곳 간직한 소망  
진정한 자유 꿈꾸며 살아가네  
황후라는 이름 뒤 숨겨진 마음

왕관의 무게 매일매일 견뎌내
남 몰래 흘리는 황후의 눈물 
한없이 그리운 과거의 향기
뜨거운 눈물이 흘러내린다

푸른 하늘에 소리 없이 기도해
내 갇힌 영혼 다시 날아오르길
진정한 나를 찾는 그날이 오면
꼭 돌아갈거야 내 마음의 고향

왕관의 무게 매일매일 견뎌내
남 몰래 흘리는 황후의 눈물 
한없이 그리운 과거의 향기
뜨거운 눈물이 흘러내린다

황후의 눈물 안에 매일을 살아가는
자유의 삶을 위해 흘리는 눈물
왕관의 무게를 견디며
조용히 강하게 내일을 기다려

황후의 눈물

황후의 눈물 the tears of the empress

Sunset Serenade

A wife of many years sings to her husband in his decline from Alzheimer's Disease.

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
In the fading light of evening, I see you drifting away,
Lost in the fog of memories, that won't let you stay.
Your eyes search for answers, in this cruel and confusing haze,
And I wish I could reach you, but you're lost in a maze.

(Pre-Chorus)
I see your frustration, as you struggle for words,
The pain in your eyes, as your voice goes unheard.
I'm here by your side, but I can't make it go away,
The heartache I feel, as I watch you fade each day.

(Chorus)
A shadow descends, casting a veil on your mind,
But I'll be your light, through the darkness we'll find.
Though you might not remember, our love it won't change,
I'll hold your hand, through the pain and the strange.

(Verse 2)
You talk of the past, like it's happening now,
The lines of time blurred, on your furrowed brow.
You're searching for comfort, in a world that's lost its face,
And I'm here to embrace you, in this heartbreaking place.

(Repeat  Chorus)

(Bridge)
I'll sing you our song, and dance with your ghost,
Through the echoes of laughter, and the time that we've lost.
Though your mind may be wandering, your heart beats the same,
And I'll cherish each moment, in this heartbreaking game.

(piano solo)

(Outro)
I will cherish the love, that's stronger than time,
All the moments we shared, and the feelings divine.
Though your mind may be fading, my love will remain,
I'll be right here waiting, 'til we meet once again

A Shadow Descends

You're the missing piece that I've been searching for Without you, I'm incomplete, I need you more and more Every moment without you feels like a chore Come closer to me, I'll never let you go

You Needing Me

A son whispers his love to his sick, elderly Mother as she lays in her hospital bed

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Midnight roads and freeway lights
Chasing dawn, no sleep tonight
Four hundred miles to see your face
And hope you feel my love's embrace

Chorus:
In the quiet of 5 AM
Whispers of love, again and again
Through a safety mask, I speak to you
Praying somehow my words break through

Verse 2:
Machines beep a solemn tune
In this sterile, lonely room
Your eyes don't open, but I still see
The Mum who once comforted me

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
Don't know what tomorrow brings
But today, my heart still sings
Of memories and time gone by
And love that never says goodbye

(Repeat Chorus)

Outro:
As I drive away, the sun rises high
Carrying hope across the sky
Whatever comes, this much is true
I'll always be right here for you

Ninth song I've produced myself.
-
Wait
Please don’t go
Your love is the only warmth
That my cold heart has ever known
I could have treated you better
Yeah, I know
I can see that
Now that you’re 6 feet below

Time stands still
Yet the world moves on
And I’m trapped in the past
Where you now belong
You know, I still drive past
The spot where we used to meet
The place by the river
Hidden from the streets

I try to leave it all behind
But it’s clear
Every road I take
Brings me back here
The nights I hear your voice
It’s like a curse
And waking up alone in bed
Just makes it worse

Oh, it hurts so much
In a million little ways
You feel so near, but you’re so, so far
I’m looking up to you, while you’re looking down from the stars
And I know you can hear my cries
Wishing that I had been the one that had died
You were the better half of our whole
The heavens don’t understand what they stole 

I found that old note you left in my coat
The ink’s blurred, but your words still hold
I can’t read it, but I can’t let it go
It’s all I have left of a story that we wrote

When I close my eyes, you're beside me again
Talking about the future, like we did back then
But when I open them, reality hits me hard
I’m reaching out for your hand, but it’s too far

Oh, it hurts so much
In a million little ways
You feel so near, but you’re so, so far
I’m looking up to you, while you’re looking down from the stars
And I know you can hear my cries
Wishing that I had been the one that had died
You were the better half of our whole
The heavens don’t understand what they stole

Oh, they better know
I’ll never let go
Oh, they better know

Oh, they better know
That I’ll wait for you in another life
Because I’m never letting go

Oh, they better know
They took the better half of my soul
How could I possibly ever let go
Oh, they better know

Oh, it hurts so much
In a million little ways
You feel so near, but you’re so, so far
I’m looking up to you, while you’re looking down from the stars
