Branches” is a song about the roads we take, the choices that shape us, and the way life grows in unexpected directions.
Every path, every mistake, every moment of courage becomes another branch on the tree of who we are.

This song reflects the twists, storms, and sunlight we all face — how some choices lift us, some break us, and some quietly teach us how to grow.
It’s a reminder that every direction we’ve taken still belongs to our story.

Branches

“All These Years (Mom’s Song)” is a deeply personal, emotional tribute to the woman who stood by my side through every storm, sacrifice, and milestone.
This song honors my mother — her strength, her love, her quiet courage, and the way she built my world one unselfish moment at a time.

It’s a promise to her:
That just as she carried me through my darkest nights, I’ll be there to carry her through hers.
That the same hands that kept me safe will be held in mine as the years go by.
And that no matter what time brings, the love she gave me will live in everything I do.

If you’ve ever loved your mom with your whole heart… this song is for you too.

Thank you for listening — and if you still have your mother with you, hug her a little tighter today.

All These Years

“Until My Last Day” is a soft, emotional love ballad about devotion that lasts beyond distance, time, and even life itself.
It’s a promise — that no matter where the road leads, the love shared will remain unbroken, echoing through memories, moments, and time.

This song captures the feeling of holding someone close even when they’re far away…
Of loving someone so deeply that even the stars feel like reminders of them.
It’s a farewell without finality — not “goodbye,” but “until we meet again.”

If you’ve ever loved someone with your whole heart… this one’s for you.

Until My Last Day

“Do You Miss Me Like I Miss You” is the long-awaited emotional duet between Kade & Kara, blending two voices that sound like they were always meant to meet.

It’s a story of distance, longing, and the quiet hope that love still echoes between two hearts separated by life’s twists and turns.
The man dreams of the past they shared; the woman holds onto the future she hopes will come.
Together, they ask the same question—
“Do you miss me like I miss you?”

Soft, cinematic, and deeply intimate, this duet feels like a late-night confession whispered under a sky full of stars.
If you’ve ever missed someone with every part of you… this song will find you.

Thank you for listening — and welcome to the world of Kade & Kara.

Do you miss me like I miss you

“The Only Way to Love You Now” is a heartbreak confession from a man who realizes too late that love isn’t about holding on—it’s about stepping aside so the person you hurt can finally heal.

Over a slow-burning alt-country/Americana backdrop, Kade Merrin walks through the wreckage of a relationship he couldn’t stop breaking, owning every scar he left behind. This song lives in the space between apology and acceptance, where you’d “burn every bridge… just to unburn one with you,” but know deep down that the kindest thing you can do is let them go.

If you’ve ever watched someone you love finally find peace without you—and had to learn that real love sometimes means disappearing from their story—this one’s for you. Turn it up, sit with the lyrics, and let it hurt in all the right ways

The Only Way to Love You Now

“The Way You Always Have” is a love letter from a son to the woman who’s been his anchor through every storm — his mama.

This song is for the moms who held shaking hands through the night, kissed away scars, and kept the light on when the world felt too dark to face. It tells the story of a boy who grew into a man, went off to the Army, faced fear and war… but never stopped drawing strength from the kindness and courage of the woman who raised him.

From those early days of being kept safe and warm, to the miles and battles that followed, her love was the guiding light that pulled him through. Now, as time shows on her face, he’s determined to be there for her — to take care of her the way she always has for him.

Gentle acoustic guitars and intimate vocals carry lyrics about sacrifice, gratitude, and that unbreakable bond between a mother and her child. It’s a tribute to every mama whose name might never be famous, but whose love changed a life forever.

Formerly known as “Always Her Little Boy,” this version goes deeper into that promise:
to honor her, protect her, and make sure she never doubts how loved she truly is.

If you’ve got a mom, grandma, or mother figure who’s been your shelter and saving grace… this one’s for you. 💛

The Way You Always Have

I am an artist shaped by real life using reality to master what's  not—heartbreak, redemption, and the long road back to truth.
I started writing music as a way to make sense of the world around me: the people I’ve loved, the mistakes I’ve owned, and the hope I still chase. Every song I create is built on honesty—raw stories pulled from the deepest parts of my life. From dark piano ballads to acoustic confessions, my music is where regret meets healing and where the human heart finds its voice again.

I’m not trying to be perfect—I’m just trying to be real. My journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s given me something better than perfection: perspective. If my songs can make someone feel understood, less alone, or brave enough to face their own truth, then I’ve done what I came here to do.
