“Where Love Once Stayed” is a deeply emotional gospel-soul ballad that tells the story of lost love and spiritual renewal. The song’s narrator reflects on a place—once filled with warmth, devotion, and shared dreams—that has now grown silent and empty. Through heartfelt verses and a powerful gospel choir, the song journeys from sorrow to acceptance, searching for healing and meaning in the echoes of the past. With poetic lyrics and soul-stirring harmonies, it becomes both a lament and a prayer, embracing the divine to mend the void left behind. The song weaves human vulnerability with spiritual hope, rooted in classic gospel tradition.

Lyrics

[Intro – Soft Piano & Organ Instrumental – 20 sec]


---

[Verse 1 – Female Voice]

The walls still whisper your name at night,
A silent prayer in the candlelight.
The wind plays sorrow through broken doors,
And footsteps echo on empty floors.
You lit this house like a holy flame,
Now shadows weep where love once came.


---

[Verse 2 – Female Voice]

I laid my faith on the wooden frame,
Called out your heart, but none remained.
The choir of dreams has gone off-key,
And grace has left this melody.
You promised stars, then walked away—
I wait for dawn that won’t stay.


---

[Chorus – Full Gospel Choir]

🎶
But love don't live here anymore!
[CHOIR:soulful_gospel_female_full,strong,high_energy]
No hands to hold, no soul to restore.
This house is still, this heart is sore—
Oh Lord, bring back what we prayed for!
[CHOIR:soulful_gospel_female_full,call_and_response,rich_harmony]
Let the spirit pour, let the heavens roar,
‘Cause love don’t live here anymore!
[CHOIR:soulful_gospel_female_full,layered_harmony,crescendo]
🎶

[Instrumental 1 – Hammond Organ & Guitar – 30 sec]


---

[Verse 3 – Female Voice]

I set the table for one again,
And sing hallelujah through the pain.
The mirror shows a weary face,
Still framed by hope, still touched by grace.
I walk alone through sacred years,
A trail of ash, a flood of tears.


---

[Bridge – Female Voice + Soft Choir Harmonies]

But maybe love's not gone for good,
Just hiding deep where silence stood.
If faith can bloom from fallowed ground,
Then joy might rise without a sound.
So let me kneel where we once lay,
And learn to love myself one day.


---

[Instrumental 2 – Strings, Piano & Choir Humming – 40 sec]


---

[Chorus – Full Gospel Choir, Stronger]

🎶
‘Cause love don’t live here anymore!
[CHOIR:soulful_gospel_female_full,strong,high_energy,full_blend]
It left behind an open door.
But angels cry and skies implore—
Lord, revive what we’re longing for!
[CHOIR:soulful_gospel_female_full,call_and_response,strong_dynamic_range]
Let the spirit soar, let your mercy pour,
Though love don’t live here anymore!
[CHOIR:soulful_gospel_female_full,grand_finale_style,crescendo_with_fade]
🎶

[Interlude – Vocal Solo Over Soft Keys – 30 sec]

[Female Voice Ad-libs:
"Bring it back to me, Lord…
I’m still waiting… still praying…
Still believing…”]


---

[Verse 4 – Female Voice, Emotional Crescendo]

I heard a voice in a midnight storm,
It sang of healing, soft and warm.
And though the halls still ache with loss,
I bear my pain beneath the cross.
One day I’ll dance, one day I’ll sing,
When love returns with angel wings.


---

[Instrumental 3 – Full Gospel Band – 45 sec]

[Organ, drums, bass, choir swells, slow crescendo into final chorus]


---

[Final Chorus – Full Gospel Choir + Female Lead in Harmony]

🎶
Love may not live here anymore…
[CHOIR:soulful_gospel_female_full,soaring_highs,emotional_blend]
But hope has knocked upon the door.
The Spirit moves across the floor—
Oh Lord, we rise, we rise once more!
[CHOIR:soulful_gospel_female_full,layered,crescendo_to_finale]
Let the trumpets cry, let the heavens roar,
Though love don’t live here anymore!
[CHOIR:soulful_gospel_female_full,fade_with_amen]
🎶

[Outro – Fade Out with Choir Harmonizing “Amen… Hallelujah…” – 30 sec]

[Soft Organ, Light Percussion, Gentle Vocal Sustains]


Where Love Once Stayed

Musik ist für mich mehr als nur ein Hobby – sie ist ein wesentlicher Teil meines Lebens. Seit meiner Jugend begleiten mich die Klänge legendärer Bands wie den Beatles und AC/DC, und auch der Rock'n'Roll hat einen besonderen Platz in meinem Herzen. Die kraftvollen Rhythmen des Blues haben mich lange fasziniert, während in den 80er Jahren Bands wie die Eurythmics und U2 meine Favoriten waren. Heute genieße ich neben diesen Klassikern sowohl moderne Künstler wie Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Katy Perry und Lana Del Rey als auch Rockbands wie Muse oder Greta Van Fleet. Besonders schätze ich die melancholische Musik von The National.

Mittlerweile nutze ich KI-Tools, um Musik nach meinem eigenen Geschmack zu kreieren. Ich verwende häufig ChatGPT und Copilot für die Texterstellung nach meinen aktuellen Gedanken daraus resultierenden Vorgaben für die KI und füge mit Music Lab oder Suno Musik und Stimmen hinzu.

Falls ihr eine Band habt, würde ich mich freuen, wenn ihr meine Stücke live performen oder mit echten Instrumenten und Stimmen aufnehmen möchtet. Lasst mich aber bitte auch das Ergebnis hören!

Musik bleibt für mich eine konstante Quelle der Freude, die mich selbst an schlechten Tagen aufheitert.

Frieden und Gesundheit!

Music is more than just a hobby for me – it is an essential part of my life. Since my youth, I have been accompanied by the sounds of legendary bands like The Beatles and AC/DC, and rock 'n' roll holds a special place in my heart. The powerful rhythms of the blues have fascinated me for a long time, while in the 80s, bands like The Eurythmics and U2 were my favorites. Today, I enjoy not only these classics but also modern artists like Billie Eilish, Olivia Rodrigo, Katy Perry, and Lana Del Rey, as well as rock bands like Muse or Greta Van Fleet. I particularly appreciate the melancholic music of The National.

Recently, I’ve been using AI tools to create music that reflects my own taste. I often use ChatGPT and Copilot for text creation to transform my current thoughts into music, and I add music and vocals with Music Lab or Suno.

If you have a band, I would be thrilled if you could perform my pieces live or record them with real instruments and voices. But please let me hear the result!

Music remains a constant source of joy for me, lifting my spirits even on bad days.

Peace and health!
Martin
