If you’ve ever felt lost, this song’s for you — hold on, believe, and you’ll find your way. I read every comment. 🙏🎶😊

I have decided to take you into my studio lair for a peak into the cobwebs, corners and hidden nooks; the very mad-house of my thinking, or at least as best I can recollect the moments of……"Song Creation". I will use a single song to highlight my process. My friends and fellow song creators may recognize strands of their own process here, however, it is understood, that song formation has no right way or wrong way. It is as individual and eclectic as art itself. That is what keeps it fun. I will keep the write-ups short but will pile them on in increments until you or I have had enough. You can find these write-ups at this link: https://davidhusted.com/blogs/1-sleeping-softly-in-this-bed/posts/7601774/one-song-s-journey

Thank You

Dave

Song Lyrics
Eclipse
By David Husted


I'm trapped by a devil who controls the scrolling screen  
When I come back up I can't remember my name
so filled with dread cuz I'm waitin' on that judgement day
Swipe away this lonely pain

Tik-Tok, Reels and YouTube Shorts  
I'm jacked in, I can't abort
Cut this thread or waste away

Woke up on the sand with waves erasing your name
Eclipse, burning my eyes as she takes me to a higher plane
This veil of flames, and I don't know how much time remains
As daylight dims, this might be it
This might be it, will I taste the world again?

It's been three days since I threw my phone away
All went quiet but the tears and body shakes  
And the day light bows to the moon's deep blues
And in this mystery, I still miss you
 
Tik-Tok, Reels and YouTube Shorts  
I'm jacked in, I can't abort
Cut this thread or waste away

Woke up on the sand with waves erasing your name
Eclipse,  burning my eyes as she takes me to a higher plane
This veil of flames, and I don't know how much time remains
As daylight dims, this might be it
This might be it, will I taste the world again?



Eclipse

BehindTheShades

Bubbling in my skin I feel the pain bleeding out
Cries for my sisters that are buried underground
And I still hear their sounds, sounds of their voice
But the fear that they were living never had no choice
Generational trauma, la mujer asesinada
Gotta protect your mama, gotta connect each other
This the light at the end of the tunnel
Getting you out of the struggle
When the world is falling down I get you out of the rubble
(Huh)

[Chorus]
Keep your head up queen
(Huh)
Never forget your dreams
(Nah, huh)
Keep your head up queen
(Nah)
Never forget your, never forget that you came from a woman that went through some pain
I know that you're hurting cause I'm feeling the same
And this is not the end, there will be some brighter days
Keep your head up queen, know that you are not to blame 
[Chorus]                                                                                                                     

We were leaders once,
Fire in our hands.
Healing, knowledge,
Power in demand.

Then they stole it,
Burned our names.
Called us witches,
Drowned in shame.

Still today—
Shut us up,
Pay us less,
Push us down,
Call us prey.
But we won’t fade away.   Told to be pretty,  But never too smart.  Quiet your voice,  Don’t speak from the heart.
Never complain, Never defy.  Be a good daughter, Be a good wife.
Hide your anger,  Swallow your needs.  Dress up your pain,  And call it “pleased.”
Dress sexy—you're a slut.  Don’t dress up—you’re a prude.  No matter what you do,  You're always wrong.

 [Chorus]
Keep your head up queen
(Huh)
Never forget your dreams
(Nah, huh)
Keep your head up queen
(Nah)
Never forget your, never forget that you came from a woman that went through some pain
I know that you're hurting cause I'm feeling the same
And this is not the end, there will be some brighter days
Keep your head up queen, know that you are not to blame 
[Chorus]                                                                                                                         

I scroll and see it—
Mocking lines.
Too loud, too soft,
Step out of line.

Too ambitious,
Too much fire.
Too emotional,
Called a liar.

Every post—
Same old game.
Every word—
Our worth in chains.  We fight online,
Weapons in words.
Forget the system,
Forget what we’ve learned.  Hey, no more hiding.
No more holding it in.
Say your truth, even when it scares you.
I see your pain, and you don’t have to carry it alone.
Teach your daughters to fight,
teach your sons to respect.
We can tear down the old shit,
we can build something better.
Now is our time — and you, yes you, are the one.
Keep going. Keep rising. You’ve got this. 

{Chorus]
Keep your head up queen
(Huh)
Never forget your dreams
(Nah, huh)
Keep your head up queen
(Nah)
Never forget your, never forget that you came from a woman that went through some pain
I know that you're hurting cause I'm feeling the same
And this is not the end, there will be some brighter days
Keep your head up queen, know that you are not to blame 
[Chorus]

Queen (remix)

This House Steady (Granny’s Words) is a soulful fall reflection about family, faith, and love that stands the test of time. Bobby Ticklez captures three generations under one roof and the warmth that fills a southern home. It’s cozy, heartfelt, and full of gratitude. The song feels like sunlight through a kitchen window on a cool autumn morning. This is a real life dedication to the songwriter, Jerdal Whitaker’s, grandmother and her impact on him and his family.

This House Steady (Granny’s Words)

Still Loving Me” (Alternative Rock Version) is a bold, guitar-driven anthem of faith and grace. With high energy and raw emotion, it tells the story of being broken but not abandoned. God’s love remains steady, even when we feel lost or unworthy. This track is a powerful declaration of healing and transformation for fans of uplifting, edgy Christian music.

Still Loving Me

Smooth neo-soul with a lazy swing and effortless swagger. “Half Past Cool” is coffee, sunlight, and confidence in one track. #CoffeeShopBangerz

Half Past Cool

The song is about the overwhelming joy and excitement of being in love. It captures the feeling of living fully in the moment with someone who makes life brighter and more meaningful. Every detail — every touch, laugh, and glance — becomes magical, leaving the person craving more of that perfect connection.

LYRIC

Intro
Morning light, your hand in mine,
Every moment feels divine.
Laughing loud, the world feels small,
With you I’ve got it all.

Verse 
Every day’s a brand new start,
You set the fire in my heart.
Simple things, they feel so true,
Life is better here with you.

Pre-Chorus
No need for diamonds, no need for gold,
This kind of magic never grows old.

Chorus
I can’t get enough, of the way you make me feel,
Like the world is ours, and the dream is real.
I can’t get enough, when your love lights me up,
Every second’s not enough, can’t get enough.

Verse 
Every kiss, it feels brand new,
Colors brighter when I’m with you.
Dancing fast, beneath the sky,
Time is ours, it passes by.

Pre-Chorus
No need for diamonds, no need for gold,
This kind of magic never grows old.

Chorus
I can’t get enough, of the way you make me feel,
Like the world is ours, and the dream is real.
I can’t get enough, when your love lights me up,
Every second’s not enough, can’t get enough.

Bridge
Take my hand, don’t let it go,
With you beside me, I already know…

Chorus
I can’t get enough, of the way you make me feel,
Like the world is ours, and the dream is real.
I can’t get enough, when your love lights me up,
Every second’s not enough, can’t get enough.

Outro
Can’t get enough…
Can’t get enough…

Can’t get enough

She’s been waiting in the shadows too long, ready to climb out of doubt and into belief. The song rises from quiet reflection to pure cinematic power, echoing the sound of courage found within. Every lyric speaks of breaking free from hesitation, of moving when the world stands still. Piano and strings cradle her voice as it grows from soft to strong, like sunlight climbing a mountain. She invites the listener to take her hand, to feel the glow that comes when dreams awaken. The orchestration swells as she finds her strength, blending emotion and theatre into one moment of truth. It’s a journey of self-belief, of choosing to act before life passes by. When the final chorus soars, the message is clear—no mountain is too high when you believe inside. The melody carries triumph, the voice embodies the dream, and the listener leaves lifted higher than before. “The Time Has Come” is not just a song—it’s a call to rise, believe, and finally begin.

Lyrics
The Time has Come

Been sitting in the wings, going nowhere
My life is not what it should be
Need to start making a move
Start working towards going somewhere

All my life I have seen things happen around me
I've sat there and watched and I should’ve been there
Time to change things, get off my butt
Life is flying by and it will be gone (so)

The time has come, to make the climb
No mountain is too big, but people can be too small
Life is only as big as your dreams
Believing is the most important part of dreaming (it’s in the seeing)

So take my hand, we will climb together
We will reach our summit and give us a chance
It is about being there, about the feeling (of seemingly touching)
No dream will ever happen unless you can feel it

So sitting in doubt, will never be the same as belief in your dreams
The strength I have when I believe in my dreams
Can you feel the glow around me when I dream

Been sitting in the wings, going nowhere
My life is not what it should be
Need to start making a move
Start working towards going somewhere

All my life I have seen things happen around me
I've sat there and watched and I should’ve been there
Time to change things, get off my butt
Life is flying by and it will be gone (so)

The time has come, to make the climb
No mountain is too big, but people can be too small
Life is only as big as your dreams
Believing is the most important part of dreaming (it begins within)

So you have to live the dream, smell it, taste it, believe it
If you believe hard and deep enough, you get the best chance
Can you feel the glow around me when I dream
So take my hand and let's see if we can make this dream come true

The Time has Come

The Time has Come - no mountain is too high when you believe

[Intro / Verse 1]
Smoked my last cigarette, sat in bed for a while.
Thought of your face, and that brought me a smile.
Wanted another one. Fell back asleep, instead.
Woke and found you sitting there on the bed.
I fell for you, baby, like a bomb
Now my love’s gone up in flames
[Chorus]
Cigarette, cigarette,
Burning up time.
Cigarette, cigarette,
Watch the smoke climb.
Cigarette, cigarette,
Wasting away.
Just like this cigarette, our time is running down.
Only one hour ‘til you’re leaving this town.
[Verse 2]
Went to the corner store, bought us another pack.
Held my arm around you as we headed back.
I tried to change your mind. Didn’t want you to go.
I want you more, it seems, than you could ever know.
We’re history, baby, read it in a book
It ended in the fire that started with a look
[Chorus]
Cigarette, cigarette,
Burning up time.
Cigarette, cigarette,
Watch the smoke climb.
Cigarette, cigarette,
Wasting away.
Just like this cigarette, our time is running down.
Only one hour ‘til you’re leaving this town.
[Verse 3]
My head is full of smoke, heart full of pain
That tender love is gone, gone up in flames
You should have shot me, baby, my life is done
You could have shot me, baby, shot me with a gun
I hear those sirens scream my name
I know my love is gone up in flames
[Bridge]
Smoked my last cigarette, sat in bed for a while.
Thought of your face, and that brought me a smile.
I fell for you, baby, like a bomb
Now my love’s gone up in flames
[Outro / Chorus]
Cigarette, cigarette,
Burning up time.
Cigarette, cigarette,
Watch the smoke climb.
Cigarette, cigarette,
Wasting away.
Just like this cigarette, our time is running down.
Only one hour ‘til you’re leaving this town.
My head is full of smoke, heart full of pain
That tender love is gone, gone up in flames
You should have shot me, baby, my life is done
You could have shot me, baby, shot me with a gun
I hear those sirens screamin’, screamin’ my name
I know my love is gone, gone up in flames

Smoke and Flames

Start your day with a little groove and a lotta caffeine. ☕ ‘Espres-So Clean’ brings that smooth-soul polish and coffee-shop funk you didn’t know you needed. 

Espres-So Clean

I wrote this song when I was about 30 (1988) approximately, hope you enjoy
“You Will Find a Way” is a heartfelt Country Soul song written straight from life’s hardest moments. It’s about holding on when the world feels heavy and remembering that love and friendship can pull you through. The song speaks softly but powerfully to anyone who’s ever felt lost or alone, reminding them that even in pain, hope still whispers. Every lyric is written with care, every line meant to comfort and guide. It’s a message to lean on those who care for you, to open your heart, and to believe that light will return. The warmth of the melody carries the listener through sorrow toward healing. It’s not just a song—it’s a hand reaching out to say, “You can get through this.” It invites you to slow down, breathe, and let the music remind you of your strength. “You Will Find a Way” is for everyone who’s been searching for faith, for love, or simply for a reason to keep going. Because no matter how lost you feel, you really will find a way.

You Will Find a Way

I know right now your feeling down
And struggling to find your way
Just remember you have a friend in me
And there's no disgrace to lean

I hear the words you say
And I feel for you everyday
And I know happiness seems so far away
But I know deep down inside of you
There's an inner strength
Just believe in it and you will find a way

Open your heart and let me in
And things won't seem so bad
And all at once you will cope
If you believe in yourself
You will find a way

Then once your there look around you
And the first thing you will find
Is this Love that I have for you
Just waiting for you to open your eyes
And I know given time 
To this Love You will find a way

You will find a way to my love
You will find a way to my love
I will be waiting for you everyday
Till the end of my days I will wait
For You to find your way to our love

You will find a way to my love
You will find a way to my love
I will be waiting for you everyday
Till the end of my days I will wait
For You to find your way to our love
