This song is a gentle, acoustic folk serenade in G Major, flowing like a tender waltz under a starry sky. Its slow, lilting rhythm (3/4 time at around 60 BPM) is carried by soft acoustic guitar strumming and delicate fingerpicking, interwoven with warm, light mandolin melodies, a steady, mellow upright bass, and sweet, expressive fiddle lines that highlight emotional moments.

The mood is intimate, deeply romantic, and sincerely heartfelt. It evokes a sense of peaceful contentment, comfort, and enduring affection. The lyrics beautifully mirror this tenderness, telling a story of a timeless, natural love filled with whispered promises, the security of finding "home" in another's eyes, and a gentle, unwavering commitment that is meant to last "in all things, forever." It’s a soothing and warm musical embrace.

Verse 1
Under starry night sky, I hear your voice
Whispers to hold, where we chose our fate
Hold on tight, day and night.
Love is a gentle serenade we sing softly.

Verse 2
I cannot recall when we inscribed our names on the old oak tree.
Promised to be together forever.
Time may change the seasons but I do not lose faith.
That our affection shall never fade.

Chorus
Whispers of promise on the gentle breeze.
A love which forms so naturally
In your eyes, I am home.
I am with you always.

Hold me tight and don't ever let go.
Through the highs and lows, we will grow
Ours evermore, ours always.
My heart is yours and yours alone.

Verse 3
I believe
The sunrise paints the sky with golden shades.
Stories of romance that will never grow old.
Every instant, every word we say,
Retains romance on a daily basis.

Chorus
Whispers of promises on the gentle breeze.
A love which is blossoming so effortlessly.
Home to me is in your eyes.
I am never lonely with you.

Outro
So rest your head and sleep with me 
In all things, forever. 
Whispered words, gentle and sincere, 
Eternally mine to belong to.

Cowboy Cadence - Heartfelt Ballad

Whispered Promises

Still, We Move is a tender, reflective journey through memory, loss, resilience, and quiet hope. With delicate acoustic guitar and piano arrangements, the album blends introspective storytelling and emotional depth, capturing moments of solitude and strength. Influenced by the evocative tones of artists in the indie folk and alternative space, O.B.A.65 creates a soundscape that feels both timeless and deeply personal. From the wistful imagery of “Paper Lanterns” to the grounded warmth of “Driftwood Heart,” this album invites you to pause, reflect, and move forward—still.

Ashes & Petals_ (Remastered)

Baby encapsulates the selfishness of love, explored through the paranoia and envy of one side.  Doubt creates a silence where everything is too hard to change. In the end the protagonist finds that
real love can only be found in yoga and crystals.

~ Lyrics

Empty bed and a long night
The space is back again
The morning sun is a welcome sight
By its height it’s nearly ten

And by the way that glare hit the pane
It brought me right back to Spain
And by the way your smell overcame me
I swore I could see your face

I will always long to hold you
This feeling’s fate it’s taking over
I don’t ever want you to come back – I’ll hurt you bad
But this feeling’s fate it’s taking over
And I can’t do a thing 
I can’t do a thing

Thinking about our yesterday and I wish I stayed
‘cause now the dusk rolls in the pain 
and the rain whispers your name
But I haven’t changed
So darling stay away

I will always long to hold you
This feeling’s fate it’s taking over
I don’t ever want you to come back – I’ll hurt you bad
But this feeling’s fate it’s taking over

This feeling’s fate it’s taking over me 
Oh you’re taking over me
Oh you’re taking over me
I can’t let go of you
You’re taking over me
You’re in everything I see
You’re taking over me
You’re in everything

And I will always long to hold you
This feeling’s fate it’s taking over
I don’t ever want you to come back – I’ll hurt you bad
But this feeling’s fate it’s taking over
And I can’t do a thing

Matt Shill - Spain

‘Dance on your own is a song about change and the inevitable transitions we all have to go through as travellers. It’s funny; some of the most meaningful relationships we’ve all been through have happened on the road, and therefore often had to end prematurely due to circumstance or whatever. It was one of those fleeting romances that inspired the song, but I think for all of us it’s come to represent embracing the change that people can trigger in you. It’s cool because we’re still going through this shift musically as well, at the time of writing we were getting frustrated and decided to write something completely different. This tune is more upbeat but still has that folky element at the root, it’s a heap of fun to play live and we’re just excited about where the sound is heading.’

Lyrics:
All time low
Waiting on this day to end
It's been a minute
It's, it's been a minute
Change after change
Fake it ’til you make it
I feel them coming
I, I feel them coming

Everywhere that I go
I don’t want to be alone
'Cause I’m scared of myself 
Everywhere that I go
I don’t want to be alone
'Cause I’m scared of myself 

All my friends are on planes
But I’m right here
All my friends are on planes
But I’m right here

Do you know that I’ve been 
Up and down in my head
Rolling round in my bed
Because I don’t know what to do 
With myself
And I’ve been running round
In circles in this town
Because I don’t know what to do 
With myself

Everywhere that I go
I don’t want to be alone
'Cause I’m scared of myself 
Everywhere that I go
I don’t want to be alone
'Cause I’m scared of myself 

All my friends are on planes
But I’m right here
