Recipe for a Broken Heart

She Ain't Comin' Home At Night

“Upside Down” is a raw and heart-wrenching letter in the form of a song—a message written to the mother of a child, meant to be read in the future. It tells the story of a woman who chose not to change, not to grow, and ultimately, never wanted to be a part of her own son’s life. Through painful reflection and honest lyrics, the song captures the weight of abandonment, the confusion it leaves behind, and the grief of watching someone choose distance over love.

With haunting melodies and vulnerable vocals, “Upside Down” explores the emotions of a father trying to make sense of it all. It’s about protecting the truth, even when it hurts, and making sure the next generation understands that it wasn’t their fault.

This song isn’t just a letter—it’s closure.

Where are all the weeping preachers today? We have a weak and sick church that can't seem to pray. Jeremiah wept over Israel's sin. Jesus wept and said "You must be born again!"
