Hear me out
I've thought this through a thousand ways without 
A resolution that can bring about 
The kind of change that will relieve the doubt 
That tomorrow will be a better day

Just tell my friends that I'm OK
I'm OK
Just tell me that I'll be OK

It's my heart
I feel the cancer ripping me apart
It's in my head now and won't let me start 
To wake up now and let me be a part
Oh please help me to find the middle way

You tell me that I'll be OK
I'm OK
Just tell me that I'll be OK
Tomorrow will be another day

Written and Performed by Chris Brown

I'll Be OK

Can you
Imagine the view
If you could see through
My eyes when I’m gazing
You’ll see the world all around you just blurs
And all I hear are your words
As we stand here embracing

When I find myself worried
Carried away by my thoughts
So scared of that cold world out there
You bring me back inside to your warm place
Promise me that you’ll never leave because you’re all I need

How many times have I told you so
In so many ways but you just don’t know
Why does it seem that you’re never listening?

Written and Performed by Chris Brown

Warmth

That makes fifteen times that you threw down your phone again
(Can you hear me)
And that makes fifteen times I’ve melted to the floor
(Can you hear me)
Broken hearts
Broken screens
Exploding parts and soulful screams
How many more times til we don’t do this anymore

Don’t have even half the number of words to say I’m sorry
Don’t have even half the number of words to say I care
Don’t have even half the number of words to say I’m sorry
Don’t have even half the number of words to say I care

Based in Charleston, South Carolina, Chris Brown (plaine) has been making music since childhood. As a classically-trained pianist and fanatical wordsmith, his sound is a blend of chamber pop, electronic, pop/rock and singer/songwriter genres, having been influenced by artists such as Pink Floyd, Sigur Rós, Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails and Public Enemy. He combines thoughtful, concise lyrics with catchy pop hooks and phrases to produce a modern electro-rock and classical sound with lyrical depth. In 2020, he began recording and releasing new music aimed at marrying catchy sounds with relatable lyrics. 

Born and raised around York, Pennsylvania, Chris was immersed in music growing up, learning to play piano and trumpet. After college, he spent over a decade in New Orleans which included recording keyboards and playing live in the indie rock band, Endian. During this same time, he was also creating his own design and branding studio, Plaine Studios, with his wife Jacee. Being surrounded by creativity in music, photography, visual design and video for most of his waking hours, Chris decided that a leap back into music was long overdue when he began recording again at his home studio in Charleston in mid-2020. 

Today, Chris is working on an album filled with songs about the modern human condition. Recently released singles "Postcard", “Buy Now” and “Wheel” exemplify the direction of the forthcoming work and how it aims to reflect the depth of the human experience in an engaging, modern rock way.
