The Thread

45 (I Think About This All The Time)

So it seems I was waiting for nothing 
When you closed that door 
On all the dreams 
I had for us 
Lost upon the shore 

Really thought that we could be something
Really thought that you’d be the one
So blinded by the idea of you
Looking back, was all in my mind 

Still look for you in the darkness 
Wish you were, here with me in the light 
From time to time, you cross my mind 
Though we’re, leading different lives 

Today I caught myself dreaming 
Wondering what we could’ve become  
Seems everything I thought of us 
All up and gone

Still look for you in the darkness 
Wish you were, here with me in the light 
From time to time, you cross my mind 
Though we’re, leading different lives 

Still look for you in the darkness 
Wish you were here with me in the light
From time to time, you cross my mind 
Though we’re leading different lives 
From time to time, you cross my mind 
Though we’re leading seperate lives

This is the first version I recorded of this song, on the day I wrote it.
It's  gentler than the final version, and has a sound collage of voices instead of a first verse. It's a song about someone losing themselves to obsessive anger. It's a sad song- someone doesn't notice the good things around them in their life because they've been seduced by simplistic cultish thinking. It's definitely a response to lots going on today with 'culture wars' but it could be about a lot of different things- perhaps political or religious extremes, or 'manosphere' nonsense. It's about how those things might affect an individual

The Fight (gentle version)

This song turns the fairytale upside down. Give Not Get is a grounded, heartful reminder that love isn’t about filling a hole—it’s about showing up as your whole self. With warm acoustic instrumentation and an honest Southern vocal, Brook Stanley lays out the truth: happiness doesn’t come from what we receive in love, but from who we choose to be in it.

"All I expect of you, truthfully, is to let me be the me I aspire to be."
That line echoes the soul of the song—and the spirit of this life philosophy: we’re here to give, not get. Every relationship is a chance to express the highest version of who we are.

Written and produced by Brook Stanley. Music created and performed by Hal Bishop and The Scout Line—a music group created in the studio by TopMedia.ai, blending real Southern storytelling with AI music tools.

“this isn’t Nashville bro country... this is soulful, lonesome what if Ol’ Hank we’re still alive Country Blues. Farr shares some of the best of the original Mississippi blues in a style that remains relevant today... he takes the lessons he’s learned & applies them to his original music without forgetting to honor the masters who came before him.”
American Blues Scene

"Farr... has a skill for blending the traditional w/ the modern world. He can conjure up both the brains & the brawn of Drive-By Truckers & the... spirit of masters such as Howlin’ Wolf or RL Burnside."
