This is one of my favourite tracks which I always return to. I wrote it on a scorching hot day during one of the warmest summers on record here in the UK, during one of the happiest periods of my life. I do not know where the sadness of the track came from. Maybe I was letting go of something...

Cold Outside

"Break Me First" is a soul-stirring, high-energy R&B ballad that blends moody electric guitar, deep 808 bass, and atmospheric synths to create a haunting yet powerful sonic landscape, this song captures the pain of impending heartbreak and the frustration of being left in limbo.

Musical Elements:
Moody electric guitar and deep 808 bass create a brooding, cinematic atmosphere.
Syncopated drum grooves and pulsing synth textures add an edgy, modern R&B feel.
Dramatic brass swells and gospel-style harmonies intensify the emotion, making the chorus hit even harder.
A stripped-down bridge featuring only piano and vocals strips the song down to its emotional core before exploding into the final chorus.
Lyrical Theme:
The song captures the agony of waiting for a breakup that feels inevitable. The narrator pleads for their partner to stop dragging out the pain and just let them go:

"If you’re gonna leave me, just go ahead and say it / But don’t stand here acting like you’ll never break it."

The chorus is explosive and gut-wrenching, demanding clarity and closure:
"BREAK ME FIRST! / Don’t hold my heart like it don’t hurt!"

The bridge strips away the production, allowing the raw pain to shine through:
"Don’t say you’re sorry when you’re already gone / Don’t leave me waiting on a love that won’t hold on."

It all leads to a climactic, emotional finale, where the song reaches peak intensity before fading into an echoing, haunting outro.

Overall Feel:
"Break Me First" is a passionate, cinematic R&B anthem packed with soulful power and emotional weight. With its moody production, powerhouse vocals, and heartbreaking honesty, this song hits deep and leaves a lasting impact—perfect for those late-night moments of reflection.

Break Me First

an Exit ramp somewhere in Illinois
white noise of tires on roads makes him ill
drop in some extreme, kick butt, CD tunes
ease back upon his head rest and just chill
while traveling to a new face with no plan
he stares at the directions in his hand
he's getting close to where he wants to be
he stopped three times to eat, and take a pee
warm breezes through the window bring the scent
of summer nights, in this state, fate has lent
soon he is just but one left turn away
moon hanging fingernail-ish, lights his way
to seven numbers listed yesterday
and promises that sent him on his way
soon doorbells chime, and then her brightest smile
invites him in for wine, to stay awhile
small talk, it leads to silent, lingering stares,
on what kisses might feel like, if they're shared
till lips dance in a velvet, smooth embrace
an ancient joy that's known as sucking face
as passion lights a gleam in hazel eyes
that fill with hunger, both the girl's and guy's
till clothes are flung like bothers on the floor
as lips and tongues begin to seek out more
soon there's such intense pleasure as they play
and he finds nothing Left to turn away
thier sighs sail high above the nois of Ill
car's horns and cat's meows, through windowsills
but nothing matters to the two who mesh
in heavenly beings blended of one flesh
each silky glide in shadowed places wring
shivers of pure bliss, clasping spasms bring
but suddenly a bell rings really loud
as all the visions vanish in a cloud
to form a room, and one big empty bed
she shakes the sweet dreams from her lovely head
then goes down to eat breakfast food instead.
