"Where Do I Go From Here?" is a deeply emotional neo-western country ballad about loss, friendship, and the search for meaning after tragedy. The song follows a narrator who reflects on a past filled with adventure and camaraderie, only to face the heartache of losing a close friend. After a surreal reunion, the narrator is left questioning their path forward. With its haunting melody and poignant lyrics, the song captures the raw emotion of grief and the uncertainty of life after loss.

Where Do I Go From Here?

I mark the stars from edge to core  
I blaze a path, then close the door  
Each system scanned, each sky I cross  
Is one more gift — and one more loss  

No home out here, just points and lines  
A map of futures not yet mine  
But maybe yours, when you're grown tall  
You'll walk the path I can't at all  

I’m not just wanderin’ through the black  
I’m leavin’ trails I won’t come back  

Hold that stone  
And stand your ground  
I won’t be long  
Though stars surround  

Each rock I send  
Is more than dust  
It’s my way home  
It’s all my trust  

The suns I chase burn out too fast  
But stars are made for those who last  
I send a shard from every place  
A coded thread, a line through space  

One day, you'll stand where I once stood  
And see the stars the way I could  
The road I traced with boots and fire  
Laid out for you — my one desire  

No glory waits where silence grows  
But this is how the future knows  

Hold that stone  
A light in dark  
I carved your name  
It bears your mark  

When you feel lost  
Or on your own  
Just look ahead  
And hold that stone  

If I am dust before you start  
Then let these stones become your chart  
Each one a beacon in the grey  
To guide your steps beyond my day  

I hold a stone from every place  
Each one a shard of time and space  
I carved your name in every one  
A silent vow, not yet undone  

These little pieces, cold and rough  
Are all I’ve got when times get tough  
They carry hope across the night  
A beacon’s glow, a steady light  

Sometimes I miss the sounds of home  
The laughter, fields, and rolling stones  
But out here’s where my soul belongs  
In unknown skies and silent songs  

Each step I take, I’m torn in two  
The road ahead, or back to you  
But even lost, I won’t forget  
The life I’ve lived, the one I’ve set  

I’m not just wanderin’ through the black  
I’m leavin’ trails I won’t come back  

Hold that stone  
To guide your heart  
When stars fall low  
And worlds drift far  

Each weight you feel  
Is love, not chain  
My hands are gone  
But not in vain  

I drift away, but leave a spark,  
A light to guide you through the dark.  
Far from sight, but close at heart,  
The trails I blaze won’t fall apart.  
Though miles away, my steps remain,  
To bring you back through starry plains.  

Hold that stone  
When I’m long gone  
Hold that stone  
And carry on  

From sky to sky  
Through fire and rain  
My trail remains  
In your name

Hold that stone

Here's a song I made. I started off with the Panasonic ringtone.

These renditions were captured in isolation, in the dead of the night, live. Just me and my guitar. Strings may vary.

Westwood Horizon is a genre-bending country AI-band that blends classic Western roots with modern sounds, creating a unique fusion of neo-western, indie, and dance hall vibes. With a sound that moves from laid-back ballads to high-energy anthems, their music is built on storytelling, emotional depth, and the spirit of adventure. Drawing inspiration from both the open road and the complexities of life, their tracks explore love, loss, and self-discovery. Whether you're feeling the nostalgia of a country ballad or the thrill of a danceable groove, Westwood Horizon brings fresh energy to the country genre.

Brandon “Broke String” Burnett, a luminary in the Texas music scene, brings a profound and eclectic musical journey to the forefront with his band, dubbed, The Big Iron Boys. Raised just south of Fort Worth, Broke String channels the spirit of Texas Country while infusing it with the rebellious energy of punk and a soulful grit. His distinctive style, characterized by a country crooner's soul,  and a punk rock attitude, propels his songs into the ethereal realms of rootsy rock and psychedelia, a genre they affectionately call "cosmic country."

The Fort Worth Weekly aptly described their sound as “Swampy spaghetti western."

Rooted in the rich musical tapestry of Texas, Broke String draws inspiration from legendary figures like Townes Van Zandt and WIlie Nelson, whose storytelling prowess and emotional depth have left a mark on his craft. The raw, bluesy spirit of Stevie Ray Vaughan, courses through the veins of the band, infusing their music with a fiery intensity that adds a unique edge to their cosmic country sound.
