Songs about heart break have been written since the first cave person lost his love to a saber tooth, trust me on this. :) These songs are modern versions of that, minus the saber tooth. They will fit many people's past and current situations and may bring a degree of solace...that is my hope at any rate.

When The Dust Settles

WHEN THE DUST SETTLES - Brandon Bing - Alt-Country - DBSM - BMI

Title: Close Your Eyes

Verse 1:
Close your eyes, don’t look, don’t see, my little one,
The shadows crawl where the light is gone.
I can’t lie, this changes everything,
On the run, nowhere to hide, no home to cling.

Pre-Chorus:
If he came in again,
I swore he’d never leave.
A vow I made to the silence,
His soul is mine to seize.

Chorus:
Close your eyes, don’t see the fight,
I’ll chase the darkness through the night.
All your scars, all your pain,
He’ll never touch you again.
Close your eyes, my little one,
This war ends before the sun.

Verse 2:
Hear we go, through the cold and rain,
No more chains, no more reign.
Your mother’s voice still lingers here,
In every shadow, in every tear.

Pre-Chorus:
She never meant for you to stay,
With a demon who led her astray.
Now I rise, a reckoning’s near,
No more whispers, no more fear.

Chorus:
Close your eyes, don’t see the fight,
I’ll chase the darkness through the night.
All your scars, all your pain,
He’ll never touch you again.
Close your eyes, my little one,
This war ends before the sun.

Bridge:
The walls are shaking, the air is still,
A storm of rage, a violent will.
He steps inside, the door won’t close,
But this time, I’m the one who knows.

Chorus:
Close your eyes, don’t see the fight,
I’ll chase the darkness through the night.
All your scars, all your pain,
He’ll never touch you again.
Close your eyes, my little one,
This war ends before the sun.

Outro:
Close your eyes, don’t look, don’t see,
The world is waiting, wild and free.
The ghosts are gone, the ties undone,
Your mother’s love, the battle won.

Close Your Eyes

A lost love and a man wandering through an old mansion with metaphoric dust and ashes of his relationship. A sad but beautiful song with a great video on YouTube

Dust & Ashes

Man believes love lasts, finds out not so much...wants her back.

Please Come Home

The man was a runaround until he met a girl he loved, then he settled down. A bit later he notices she's not as interested in him as she once was, so now he's downtrodden and laments his former ways...and now hers.

Wrong Wrong, So Wrong

Wrong, So Wrong

It's the Livin' That Counts

Runaround

Full Moon Shining

Every Friday night
In a bar on a stage with no lights
Someone calls a name that’s not mine
And they play my favorite song
Where the planes fly
Every second and every third line
Someone holds a little bit too tight
And they sing along

And I feel all right
It’s so good to be home
And I feel alive
Like I’ll never be gone
It’s a sanctuary city
And they sing my song

Take a long walk
To the small corner store on my block
It’s a lot farther than I thought
But the people there are kind
On the sidewalk
Is a tall man who tells me I’m lost
And he asks if I have the time
And I ask him why

And he says
“All right
It’s so good to be home
And I feel alive
Like I’ll never be gone
It’s a sanctuary city
And they sing my song”

They say if you can make it here
You can make it anywhere
But it’s really just the best place to be

And I feel all right
It’s so good to be home
And I feel alive
Like I’ll never be gone
It’s a sanctuary city
And they sing my song
It’s a sanctuary city
And they sing my song

Track from the album "Send In The Clowns"

DIDN'T KNOW I'D MISS YOU SO

Hi darlin’, it’s been too long, seems forever you’ve been gone.
Days drift by as wasted time, cuz I’ve got troubles on my mind
I hear a new love’s in your life, that cuts thru me like a knife.
Hear me out for old times’ sake, you’ll see I’ve learned from my mistakes.

[chorus]
I think of how we used to be, when you walked long side of me
But that was oh so long ago, I didn’t know I’d miss you so, miss you sooo.

[verse]
Your voice can’t hide something’s changed, yes I know I’m to blame.
It tears my heart to realize, that lovin’ glow’s gone from your eyes.
My life now moves down just one track, to find a way to win you back. 

[chorus]
I think of how we used to be, when you walked long side of me
But that was oh so long ago, I didn’t know I’d miss you so, miss you sooo.

[verse]
This hurt can’t wait, so one request, if there’s any feeling left.
It’s not too late, please don’t say no…just one last kiss before you go. 

[chorus]
I think of how we used to be, when you walked long side of me
But that was oh so long ago, just one last kiss before you go.

Didn't Know I'd Miss You So

Weeping Willow Weep for Me

MUSIC MADE IN CANADA: Music has been a large part of my life since my teen years when I started playing guitar. Used to play popular pop and country songs in bars, songs written by other artists but for past couple decades have focused entirely on writing and producing my own songs across a number of genres: pop, country, blues, and more recently dream pop and what I'm calling whiskey blues dream pop, a style that merges the two and that seems complimentary to my ear. I believe each style can sound good and give people pleasure: that's my goal in writing. Now I produce sounds featuring both male and female vocals as the lyrics dictate; variety is the spice of...well, you know. Thanks for listening.
