Will they, or won’t they? What did you take from it?
Do say, or don’t say, but get it out the way. 
Maybe, just maybe, you keep me hanging on, 
Don’t take this the wrong way, but even we can see it, clear as day…

But it’s the same thing that happens every day, 
All the time they’re edging closer, then they back away,
Just a little step from going all the way,
Will they or won’t they? 

Will they or won’t they? You aren’t the only one
My way or the highway, the same as anyone
More luck than yesterday? Nothing to come undone
Who labelled us this way? Our time has just begun…

They’re drawn closer together, then they pull away, 
They’re thinking the same things, but feeling scared to say,
But they’re both afraid to take a step away, 
Will they or won’t they? 

Will they or won’t they, at the same time,
Walk through the doorway, I’m getting sick and tired
Will they or won’t they, no there’s nothing else
Prices we won’t pay, [or will we?]

But it’s the same thing that happens every day, 
All the time they’re edging closer, then they back away,
Just a little step from going all the way,
Will they or won’t they?

Will They Or Won't They

If You Leave Me (RC Sterling) in its earlier version featured my wretched, autotuned vocals.  In this reimagining, it features Emily again offering a much stronger vocal template. It's a sad song that we hope you like.  If you do like what you've heard, please don't hesitate to let  others know!  We welcome positive vibes and reposts.  Cheers

If You Leave Me

Our Time in the Sun (Sterling, Irving) is a collaboration between Jackie Irving (lyrics) and me (music).  We first recorded 3-4 years ago and I decided to reimagine the track recently. It's a melancholy song that sort of floats like a cloud.  We do hope you like it and share it with others. Thanks for having a listen. Cheers

How Come (RC Sterling) was first written and recorded a few years back.  As part of the new arrangement series, I've rebuilt the music around Emily's vocals.  She belts this one.

All Those Nights 2025 rearranged

A songwriting/recording project initiated to focus on the writing talents of Robert Sterling as well as several very talented collaborators/singers.  Older, wiser and definitely better, Sterling and colleagues continue to pump out irresistibly catchy pop/rock/alternative tunes.
