“How do you heal when half your heart is gone?” is a heartfelt ballad that gently addresses the pain and resilience of those left behind when a loved one goes off to war and never returns. The song is written from the perspective of a close friend or confidant, offering empathy and quiet support to someone who has lost their partner in conflict.
You can expect a deeply emotional journey through grief, longing, and the silent strength required to carry on. The verses paint vivid scenes of empty rooms, cherished memories, and daily rituals that now serve as reminders of absence. The chorus, repeating “No word from the front, no word at all,” captures the endless waiting and unanswered questions that haunt those left behind. The song’s tone is intimate and compassionate, with lyrics that acknowledge the listener’s sorrow without offering false hope, instead promising steadfast presence and understanding.
The listener can expect a moving and relatable narrative, a song that validates the experience of loss and honors the enduring love that remains after tragedy. It’s a tribute to the strength found in vulnerability and the power of simply being there for someone when words are not enough.
This is a song for quiet moments, for those seeking comfort, solidarity, and recognition of their silent battles.

Come Back Slow is a poetic and emotionally charged duet performed by a male and female voice, portraying two perspectives of a fractured relationship. The song unfolds in three verses, each revealing layers of longing, regret, and quiet resilience. The male voice reflects on abandonment and emotional distance, while the female voice responds with vulnerability and unwavering presence.

Their voices intertwine in the pre-chorus and chorus, echoing shared memories and unresolved tension. The lyrics explore themes of pride, silence, and the hope for reconciliation. Instrumental sections act as emotional bridges, using ambient textures, trembling strings, and pulsing rhythms to deepen the atmosphere. The final chorus becomes an intimate plea for healing and reconnection, as both voices converge in a moment of fragile unity.

The piece blends introspective lyricism with cinematic electronic elements, creating a soundscape that is both expansive and deeply personal — a twilight dialogue between two souls trying to find their way back.

I'm Fading (Unplugged)


Turn my brain on, boot it up,
Remember all the things I do.
Don’t take long, cause let’s be real,
Every day’s the same old deal.

Pull my clothes on, I’m all set,
No different from the other fools,
Grinding hard to just get by,
Living by the same old rules.

Same old, same old,
Don’t dream of something new.
Everything I’ve ever done,
Is the same as I always do.
Same old, same old,
Follow the well-worn path,
The habits of a lifetime,
Can’t be broken just like that.

Turn my mind off, wind it down,
Forget about my careworn day.
Drink a beer, watch bad TV,
Every show’s the same to me.

Go to sleep, dream a dream,
Trapped inside a padded cell,
Try to scream, try to escape,
Eternity in this same old hell.


Same old, same old,
Don’t dream of something new.
Everything I’ve ever done,
Is the same as I always do.
Same old, same old,
Follow the well-worn path,
The habits of a lifetime,
Can’t be broken just like that

Same old, same old,
Don’t dream of something new.
Everything I’ve ever done,
Is the same as I always do.

Same Old, Same Old

I came of age
In a time of remarkable changes
I was educated
In the fine art of rhythm and blues
I was a rowdy young native son
Lookin for a stairway to heaven
I was wasted and strung out
Didn’t know what anything was all about

But I never let go
Of my rock n roll dreams
And the renegade romance I’m livin'
Never said no
To the honkytonk queens
And all the free love I’d been given
Singing
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na 
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na
All night

I made my bones
At the wheel of a 58 Chevy
With a map of Louisiana
And a toxic blonde by my side
I had a one-way ticket
To a hole in the ground in the heartland
I was fed up, bummed out
Didn’t know what anything was all about

But I never let go
Of my rock n roll dreams
And the renegade romance I’m livin
Never said no
To the honkytonk queens
And all the free love I’d been given
Singing
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na
All night

I fell to earth
In a blaze of pain and confusion
I was a wild-eyed wannabe
Working class hero cliché
Those days are gone
But the changes still play out inside me
I can stand up and can sing out
And it doesn’t really matter what it’s all about

I never let go
Of my rock n roll dreams
And the renegade romance I’m livin
Never said no
To the honkytonk queens
And all the free love I’d been given
Singing
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na
Sha-na-na-na-na-na-na

lyrics:

on a day in september 
i think of how i’d be remembered
i’ve come so far from hating myself 
and all my selfish ways

but when push came to shove
i didn’t think that i was ever enough
i never meant to throw my smile away
i wrote my tears into an icy refrain
but it’s plain to see
i’m losing more of myself to this disease
i’m hurting more than myself living selfishly
while waiting for a change to happen inside
i bide my time

i swear i tried moving on
but your absence hollowed me out
i swear i tried moving on
but it left me with doubts
i guess that all i can do
is pray for peace in my mind
i guess that’s all i can do

on a day in september 
i think of how i’d be remembered
i’ve come so far from hating myself 
and all my selfish ways
