"In the Quiet of Your Absence" is a heartfelt acoustic ballad that explores the silence left behind after a lifelong love is gone. With tender vocals and a waltzing guitar, the song captures grief, memory, and enduring connection through poetic storytelling. Perfect for fans of Mary Chapin Carpenter, James Taylor, and anyone who’s ever loved and lost—but kept going.
