Raise That Glass

own composition, all instruments played and all voices sung by me, recorded and produced by me in my home studio on Logic Pro

Funny how the tide has turned my way
The storms I knew now drift away
Waves whispered softly night and day
Yet my love for you is here to stay

Shadows dance beneath the moon’s soft glow
Time slips by, yet love still grows
Tides may shift, but what we keep
Is a love as vast as oceans deep

Through the surf, through the spray
This love won’t fade away
Like a solid anchor resting true
My heart sinks deep to stay with you

The horizon’s wide, yet here you shine
A beacon bright, forever mine
Though clouds have cried, my heart will keep
Holding love as vast as oceans deep

Many search for brighter stars
Yet love like ours heals every scar
No wave could break what we now keep
For I love you like an ocean deep

Salty winds from past may sigh
Yet your touch calms every cry
Tonight I’ll sail to the  dreams that you keep
For I love you like an ocean deep

Like an Ocean deep

I wrote this song as a reminder to myself to let my kids live their own lives—to let them be themselves, not a reflection of me. This heartfelt modern country ballad tells a powerful story of self-discovery, independence, and breaking free from the inherited expectations of parents and society. Through the metaphor of ill-fitting shoes, the song explores the weight of living up to someone else’s dreams and the journey toward personal freedom.
With raw, reflective lyrics and imagery rooted in deep human emotions, the song is both relatable and inspiring. Featuring a strong, soulful male vocal performance and minimalistic acoustic instrumentation, it creates an intimate and authentic sound. Gradually building from introspection to empowerment, it becomes an anthem of individuality and resilience. Perfect for anyone seeking an uplifting and emotional connection, it celebrates the courage to forge your own path and embrace your true self.
