It was love at first sight, at last sight, at ever and ever sight.

A Hundred Hearts

This one’s for the days when numbness feels worse than pain.
I Just Wanted to Feel Something is about chasing anything — chaos, heartbreak, guilt — just to prove you’re still alive.
It’s not a cry for help. It’s a whisper of desperation.
Sometimes, survival means touching the fire just to know you still can.

I Just Wanted to Feel Something

Still Green

My poem set to AI music.

I see your light shine
I see your face glow
There's something about you
I want to know
You have a smile
That brightens your face
You can see it
In every place
You say it's from
The gospel you teach
You tell everyone
Who is within reach
There's the baptism
And conversion
But first of all
There are the discussions
Now I have the glow on my face
You can see in every place

I See Your Light Shine Version 2

"Echoes of Duty, Scars of Honor" - The Thin Line (Official Album Release)

Step into the profound and powerful world of "Echoes of Duty, Scars of Honor," the brand new album from The Thin Line. This 10-track journey is a heartfelt tribute to the unwavering courage, selfless sacrifice, and enduring spirit of our nation's heroes across the Fire Service, EMS, Law Enforcement, Dispatch, and U.S. Armed Forces, always honoring the spirit of 9/11.

Through evocative lyrics and powerful melodies, this album explores the full spectrum of their experiences:

From the fleeting, impactful moments that "Flicker & Fade," to the quiet resilience of those who bear "The Weight of the Badge." Hear the urgent connection in "The Echo in the Hall," and feel the raw determination "Through the Smoke and Ash." Experience the vast solitude "Beneath the Stars, Beyond the Wire," and honor those on "The Silent Watch." We delve into "The Unseen Scars" they carry, and understand the complex emotions of "The Homecoming Echo." Finally, we celebrate "The Unbreakable Chain" that binds them, culminating in the anthem, "The Line We Hold" – a testament to their unwavering commitment.

"Echoes of Duty, Scars of Honor" is more than just music; it's a narrative of courage, compassion, and the human spirit standing strong against the odds. It's a reminder of the vital "thin line" they hold for us every single day.

Join us in honoring these incredible men and women. Listen, reflect, and share their stories.

The Unseen Scars

I never knew my father. He was a Danish Seaman. We worked for the same company Shaw Savile. Did we ever meet in some distant port?

Love walketh not where ease

This song/ballad is about a relationship teetering at the edge of being over and choices need to be made. Written by Andrew Schisas aka SKEEZAS 

Call it Right

I'm Chris Manning, the mind and heart behind "The Thin Line." For years, as a 911 Telecommunicator (since May 2017) and a Volunteer Firefighter (since November 2015), I've witnessed the unwavering courage and profound sacrifices of our heroes up close.

This unique vantage point ignited a deep purpose within me: to translate those powerful, front-line moments into the distinctive and moving sound of The Thin Line. This isn't merely music; it's my sincere offering, a sonic tribute forged from personal experience, dedicated to the remarkable individuals who courageously stand on the thin line for us all, every single day.
