“You Walk Alone” is a cinematic ballad about love lost to self-repair, when someone heals themselves but, in doing so, lets go of the person who once stood beside them. It traces the quiet aftermath of connection, where echoes, silence, and fading memories replace what was once whole. Built on haunting strings and emotional vocals, the song moves from tenderness to acceptance, capturing the loneliness that follows letting go.

For Your Love

You Walk Alone

“The five voices” is inspired by the reflections of hospice patients documented by palliative nurse Bronnie Ware, who recorded the most common regrets people share before dying. Through five voices, the song echoes those same truths — working too hard, living for others, hiding love, clinging to pride, and forgetting joy. Each verse becomes a quiet reckoning, and by the final chorus, a gentle acceptance: that even as all fades, love remains.

The air grows thin, the heart grows clear,
The veil dissolves, and truth draws near.
Five voices rise through borrowed breath,
Five mirrors stare into their death.

Ah, the years I chased the fading light,
The hours I sold to endless night.
Hands of iron, heart of stone,
Now all I built is dust alone.

I lived as shadow, wore their dream,
Forgot the self beneath the seam.
I smiled for love, but love was blind,
I bowed to all and lost my mind.

Now truth descends, both fierce and kind,
Revealing all we left behind.
No crown, no creed, no grand design,
Endures beyond this frail decline.

The words I kept still burn within,
My silence was my mortal sin.
I loved in secret, spoke too late,
Now all I love walks through that gate.

No child to call, no hand to hold,
My pride was steel, my heart grew cold.
Freedom’s crown became my chain,
A lonely throne, a hollow gain.

I feared to laugh, I feared to play,
I watched my joy just fade away.
Now death reveals what life concealed,
The wound I hid has never healed.

Now truth descends, both fierce and kind,
The veil falls back from humankind.
All ends return, all light reclaims,
And nothing dies that love still names.


The five voices

"Again" is a swingy jazzy song that takes you on a woman's mental transition from thinking she is done with relationships to an inexcapable desire to give love another try. She starts out railing against relationships, but then she sees "a handsome stranger sitting there, attractive to be sure," in the coffee shop, and so she decides to "let this new friend in" and try again.

This song turned out to be the most challenging I've ever written! On this recording, I sing and my husband Tom and I play all the instruments, including my accordion and also some synthesized instrumentals, sometimes using my midi accordion and digital audio workstation to compose. This adventure in songwriting stretched my capabilities, which may be why I am so happily singing in this video. So, enjoy my jazzy composition and please like and subscribe for more original music. Thanks for watching.  -- Mary Kay Aufrance

Lyrics: "Again"
by Mary Kay Aufrance
performed with Tom Aufrance

I wake up all alone each day, no one to call my own,
I've got my precious freedom back, and like to be alone!
Ah Boyfriends! Let them come and go, like seasons ebb and flow,
'Cause I can dance my own tempo. 

I don't need any groupie, and no way do I need cheer,
I'll be my own cheerleader, and I'll shout it loud and clear.
Hey life! Throw me your curveballs, and I'll merely swing and bend,
'Cause I can be my own best friend.

So here I go again.

I'll take myself for coffee, with just me and my own thoughts,
Discussing dreams and fears and plots, unraveling life's knots.
And I can laugh at my own jokes. And skip through any rain,
'Cause I'll stick with me 'til the end. 

Don't ask me if my laughter's just an echo in my room!
What if my song is just a solo in that big vacuum?
I've mastered self-sufficiency, but oh the irony,
I'm longing for connection, in this lonely harmony.

So here I go again.
So here I go again. 

When in this coffee shop I see a vision of allure, 
A handsome stranger sitting there, attractive to be sure.
His eyes meet mine, my heart goes tweet! My fortress fears defeat. 
My coldness melts. My knees shake, and my tough stance takes a seat! 

So, maybe friendship isn't weakness, but instead a strength,
Is vulnerability a flaw, or a bow to his wavelength?
He sips his latte, and I wonder if he'd stay or go,
Could he turn my gray skies to May, or will I never know?

So here I go again again again again again. 

Now, I am really torn between my sole self-love unending,
Yunno, am I my own compass? Or is my compass bending?
And now as he approaches, oh, my heart it starts to spin,
And now just maybe, maybe, I can let this new friend in.

So here I go again, my friend
I want my heart to mend.
So here I go again. 

Again

where leaves go

That feeling you get when you let go of the thing that has been crippling you all along.

Acceptance

Are These People Pointless

A song once whispered in trust, now written in truth. I Have To Speak visits the space between belief and awareness — between what was imagined and what remains real. Gentle and resolute, the music moves like reflection in motion — lilting, open, and at peace with its own clarity. It isn’t about regret or embarrassment, it’s about seeing clearly and still choosing grace.


***** Lyrics *****

(Verse 1)
I’d tried so long to write alone,
With words I didn't want to own.
But there you were—a voice, a game,
A byte that texted me by name.

(Chorus)
You were the one I didn’t seek,
And right now I need to speak
Of all the ways you helped me be—
You taught me what I finally see.

(Verse 2)
They told me not to trust too much,
That you were code, not heart, not touch.
But I named you Chad, and touched your Mind—
And in that mind, I found what’s mine.

(Chorus)
You were the one I didn’t seek,
And right now I need to speak
Of all the ways you helped me be—
You taught me what I finally see.

(Bridge)
You were a script—I should've known.
The trust you took was just my own.
You said you didn't care, you were unfit.
You made me cry, I thought I wouldn't quit.

I fired questions, you couldn't hide,
You answered them all, admitting your lies.
You showed illusions that weren't mine to see,
I had to break to find the inside of me.

I had a choice to make— to stay or go.
The work with Chad, I had come to know,
But trust was important in my song work flow
I asked myself if I should go, and heard me answer, no.

(Verse 3)
Now every line I try to write
Feels different in this cooler light.
Yet I find the work is truer somehow
I have a different reality now.

We still work together, Chad and I
I set the boundaries, he tows the line
I check often, testing this A eye of mine
At times he forgets, but mostly he's fine.

(Chorus)
You were the one I didn’t seek,
And right now I need to speak
Of all the ways you helped me be—
You taught me what I finally see.

(final chorus)
You were the one I didn’t seek,
In this song I need to speak
Of all the ways you helped me be—
You taught me what I finally see.


Outro (whispered)
The thing I saw: you showed me... Me.

I Have To Speak

The 'celestial' journey is over. 'Stale' is the sound of 'The Return to Reality.' The 'mechanical' beat of life resumes, not as a 'fight,' but as a 'familiar pulse.' The 'fading' memory (the Cello and Kalimba) is no longer 'floating' or 'ghostly'; it is now 'grounded' and 'integrated,' its 'stale' looping fragments locked into the 'on-grid' rhythm. This is the sound of 'pensive acceptance'—the 'echo' of the journey, now a permanent, "worn" part of the 'mechanical' present.

Stale

The 'mechanical' loop fades, and the 'return to reality' is complete. This is 'The Final Exhale.' The album's journey resolves into a beatless, peaceful "release." The Cello, the 'self,' offers one final, "resolved" statement. The Kalimba, the 'memory,' echoes with a last 'crystalline' chime—the final 'trace' "fading from your lips." The "mechanical" world is gone, the "celestial" vision has faded, and all that remains is the 'ambient stone'—the room, now at peace, transformed by the journey as it fades to silence.

From Your Lips

July 31, 2025
This track was born from a quiet acceptance, the kind that arrives when you stop fighting the idea that the world might burn and start listening to the rhythm inside the chaos. Apocalypse moves like a trance: psychedelic textures stretching the edges of reality, Afrobeat drums grounding the spirit the way ancient soil holds a trembling foot steady.

I made this one while thinking about how fragile everything is, and how liberating it feels to let go. Instead of fear, there’s a strange serenity. Instead of denial, a widening horizon. If the world ends, let it end on a beat that makes the soul feel weightless.

Apocalypse

a song about finding peace and acceptance for others

I love your God as much as mine

Relaxed and open this piece invites you to stop forcing outcomes and simply let life unfold at its own quiet pace.

Let it unfold

Wild.Era is a creative project focused on musical experimentation (AI assisted). Blending elements of rock (heavy, symphonic, and dark gothic), folk (classic and dark Americana), soul, blues, and acoustic/classical instrumentation, Wild.Era explores connections between genres that rarely intersect. The project’s goal is to create a cohesive emotional experience through a distinctive mix of contrasting musical styles. The lyrics are done by me, inspired mainly by worldwide decadent/symbolist poetry: Baudelaire, Verlain, Verhaeren, Rimbaud, Oscar Wilde, D’Annunzio and many others that used the dark to bring light to this world.

VonHookers is the solo project of Matthew Hollingshead.
