Cool

My Auntie lost her husband of over 60 years; she wanted me to write a Doo-Wop song for her...I said what do you want to call it? She said, "You're My Guy". 

[Verse 1]
In the Houston heat where the sun don't quit
You're my cool breeze my shady spot to sit
A good many try but none can compare
You're the song in my heart the wind in my hair

[Chorus]
You're my guy my favorite line
The melody I play on repeat every time
My favorite pastime my sweetest tune
With you every day feels brand new

[Verse 2]
Dusty boots and a wide Texas sky
You’re the reason I laugh the reason I smile
The clock spins slow but with you it flies
You’re my sunset glow my firework skies

[Chorus]
You're my guy my favorite line
The melody I play on repeat every time
My favorite pastime my sweetest tune
With you every day feels brand new

[Bridge]
If life’s a rodeo you’re my eight-second ride
If love’s a journey you’re my passenger side
You’re the song I hum when the world gets loud
My Texas star shining bright in the crowd

[Chorus]
You're my guy my favorite line
The melody I play on repeat every time
My favorite pastime my sweetest tune
With you every day feels brand new

You're My Guy

In Ireland, we have a tradition of lighting a candle for someone who is struggling, or to remember loved ones. Kept well, the flame shines bright to remind us of them. Light A Candle is that sentiment, but also  a song to remind us of those who are away, but we expect to return..... in this life or the next.

This is a Demo I've been working on for some time. It's a sentimental Ballad with feeling and message. It's not perfect, It's not finished, I'm fighting emotions and energy to get it done.

Hope you like it :-)

🎶 

Hit the pavement midnight black...
Heart's a hammer won't turn back...
Shadows stretch long streetlight cracks.

🎶 

You say you're sorry...
You say you're new...
But it’s all old...
I see right through.

🎶 

I’m not your...
rebound rebound rebound...
I’m not your chain to drag around.

🎶 

Rebound rebound rebound...
Go find another battleground.

🎶 

Empty promises like broken glass...
(Glass, glass)
Cut my feet when I walked past...
You’re the storm I outlast.

🎶 

You say you’ve changed...
You swear it’s true...
But I’m no fool...
Not falling through.

🎶 

I’m not your...
Rebound, rebound, rebound...
(Rebound, ooh, ooh)
I’m not your chain to drag around.

🎶 

Rebound, rebound, rebound...
Go find another battleground.

Mobile Nights was sparked by a weekly songwriting challenge from the American Songwriter Association: “Write about a love you’re glad didn’t work out.”
Duke Campbell turns that idea into a Gulf Coast anthem—neon lights glowing in a late-night Mobile bar, bay breezes rolling in, and the relief of walking away from the wrong love.
Gritty, soulful, and whiskey-tinged, this country-rock track blends honky-tonk swagger with a modern Nashville polish.

Ruth Langmore – I Don't Belong (but I'm still here) v. Blues Rock – Ozark..VERY BAD GIRL!  From the Netflix series Ozark. My favorite character!

Verse 1
I grew up with the river mud, Ozark blood in my veins
Daddy taught me how to fight, but he never taught me shame
Trailer walls too thin to hide the thunder when he’d roar
So I learned to wear my armor before I knew what it was for

Pre-Chorus
They said I was trash, I’d never rise above
But I built my own fire out of ashes and love

Chorus
I don’t belong in your country clubs
I don’t belong in your boardroom suits
I don’t belong in your clean white lies
But I still belong to the truth

You can break me down, you can lock that door
But you’ll hear my voice forever more
I don’t belong, but I’m still here
Ruth Langmore

Verse 2
Books I stole from the library, words they never taught in school
Every page I read was gasoline on a spark they couldn’t rule
Men with guns and southern drawls, money washed in blood and fear
But I kept my backbone steady, ‘cause quitting ain’t in gear

Pre-Chorus]
They said I was cursed, but I rewrote the lines
Turned my pain into bullets, turned my scars into signs

Chorus
I don’t belong in your country clubs
I don’t belong in your boardroom suits
I don’t belong in your clean white lies
But I still belong to the truth

You can break me down, you can lock that door
But you’ll hear my voice forever more
I don’t belong, but I’m still here
Ruth Langmore

Bridge
Raise a glass for the ones they doubt
Raise a fist for the ones locked out
We are the storm that they can’t ignore
We are the Ruths, we are the roar

Final Chorus / Outro
I don’t belong in your country clubs
I don’t belong in your boardroom suits
But I belong to the fight I choose
And I belong to the truth

You can write me off, but I wrote this song
I’ve been the underdog all along
I don’t belong, but I’m still here
Ruth Langmore

I Don’t Belong (Ruth Langmore from Ozark) v  Blues – VERY BAD GIRL!

Letters in the Dark

[Verse 1]
I wrote you a letter
but the ink ran thin
like the silence between us
where the hurt’s been living in

Your coat still hangs
like a ghost in the hall
I touch the sleeve gently
and it says nothing at all

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep your memory
in a glass by the bed
sip it down slowly
like the words we never said

[Chorus]
Oh! love is bitter love is sweet
like cherry wine that stains my teeth
I drink it just to feel you near
a bruise a prayer a shadow here
Oh! love’s a letter never sent
folded corners paper bent—
and in the dark I call your name
but nothing ever answers back the same

[Verse 2]
I see you in strangers
the tilt of their smile
but it fades like a flicker
like the moon after miles—
the nights are too quiet
the mornings too long
I hum our old verses
but they don’t make a song

[Pre-Chorus]
Your absence lingers
like a hand on my chest
pressing so softly
but it won’t let me rest

[Chorus]
Oh! love is bitter love is sweet
like cherry wine that stains my teeth
I drink it just to feel you near
a bruise a prayer a shadow here
Oh! love’s a letter never sent
folded corners paper bent—
and in the dark I call your name
but nothing ever answers back the same

[Bridge]
Would you forgive me
if I never let go—
would you still haunt me
just to tell me so—
every word I wrote
is a scar on the page
bleeding with silence
burning with age

[Final Chorus]
Oh! love is bitter love is sweet
like cherry wine that stains my teeth
I drink it just to feel you near
a bruise a prayer a shadow here
Oh! love’s a letter never sent
folded corner paper bent
and in the dark I call your name
but nothing ever answers back the same

[Outro]
So goodnight my dear—
goodnight my ghost
You were the wound
and the cure I wanted most

Letters in the Dark
