“Unsung Hero”
She put on the uniform
Ready for the fight
But the war came early
In the dead of night

Left broken at fort Jackson
With no way to heal
Now he’s holding her close
Trying to feel

He is the one at home
Picking up the pieces
An unsung hero
As the silence increases

He fights in the quiet
No weapon in hand
Just the echos
Of her trauma
He can’t understand

She is still the soldier
But he bears the pain
An unsung hero
With nothing to gain

She put on the uniform
Ready for the fight
But the war came early
In the dead of night

Left broken at fort Jackson
With no way to heal
Now he’s holding her close
Trying to feel

He is the one at home
Picking up the pieces
An unsung hero
As her silence increases

He fights in the quiet
No weapon in hand
Just the echos
Of her trauma
He can’t understand

She’s still the soldier
But he bears the pain
Unsung hero
With nothing to gain

And he is the one left behind
Living with her scars
Holding all the pieces
While she falls apart

She’s the soldier
But he fights too
An unsung hero
Living with the shadows
of all they’ve been through.
 
He’s the silent warrior
standing by her side  
Living with the trauma 
that she can’t hide  

He sees the change
in her distant eyes  
The woman he knew
hidden deep inside
  
Every night he’s there
when the darkness creeps  
But no one sees the weight
of the secrets he keeps
  
He’s carrying her burden
though he didn’t choose  
A spouse in the battle
with everything to lose  

He fights in the silence
no medals to show  
Just the weight of her war that no one will know.  
She’s still the hero, but he’s on the line,  
An unsung hero, one dat at…

Singer/songwriter Mark Henes is a living, breathing embodiment of the spirit of American music.  Well versed in everything from the classic honky-tonk of Hank Williams to the electric soul of Jimi Hendrix, he reimagines Americana for the 21st century, with high energy songs that range from thoughtful introspection to all out rock.

Born and raised in Nashville, TN, Henes’ career as a musician seemed almost predetermined.  Growing up in the recording capitol of America, he was constantly surrounded by music.  The high lonesome sound of vintage country, the sensitivity of the seventies singer/songwriters, the ferocity of the electric blues, he absorbed them all before he was even a young man.  By the time he began performing around town, it was like he’d been doing it all his life.  When he finally started writing songs of his own, he blended all of his influences into one sound that only he could make.  

In 2020 he officially arrived on the scene with his debut LP ‘Crystallized Reflections.’  A convincing and passionate collection of songs spanning several genres, it was well received locally with one critic praising its “haunting alt country and raucous rockiness.”  Now Mark is building on his early success and bracing for a national audience with the release his newest single, ‘What Could You Be Right Now.’  With an eye for poetic detail that matches his muscular instrumental arrangements, he explores the modern world fearlessly, offering a unique perspective all its own. 

While many musicians are content to be boxed into one genre, Mark is the rare artist who can draw connections between seemingly disparate styles to create something one of a kind.  He is truly unique in the world of singer/songwriters and his music is well worth your time.
