Country Song 1 – What I Never Said
Some words don’t come easy, especially the ones that matter most.
This song was born from late-night regrets and unspoken feelings.
It's for anyone who's ever stayed silent when they should’ve spoken up. A heartbreak anthem for the quiet souls.
Country Song 2 – Carried Words
Ever feel like you're hauling the weight of words you never said?
This track speaks for the letters left unsent and the healing never finished. A duet between silence and survival.
Inspired by emotional scars that never made the headlines.
Country Song 3 – Almost Forever
They had the right love... just in the wrong lifetime.
Timing ruined what fate had planned.
This song aches for the “what ifs” and the “almosts.”
Written for those who didn’t find their forever.
Country Song 4 – Left on Read
Three dots. Then nothing. Ghosted in a world where connections are just a swipe away. This one's for the modern heartbreakers and the hearts they leave behind. Inspired by a text that never got a reply.
Upbeat Country Song 1 - Back Road Baptism
With a heart full of gospel and boots full of mud, this upbeat duet channels raw redemption through steel guitars, banjo licks, and one holy backbeat. Think church camp meets tailgate party—with the spirit of Hank Williams himself as your preacher.
Country Song 5 –Where the Song Stopped
This duet traces a relationship like a record spinning to its last groove. The metaphors are musical. The pain is real. And in the end, the silence speaks louder than the lyrics.
Country Song 6 The Barstool Between Us
Two former lovers sit near each other in a familiar place—close enough to speak, but worlds apart. This stripped-down duet captures what it feels like to be emotionally miles away, separated by nothing more than a barstool and a thousand unspoken words.
Country Song 7 The Other Side of Sorry
It isn’t just about regret—it’s about realization. This country duet walks through the wreckage left after love fades and apologies fall short. It’s a quiet, emotional reckoning between two hearts that once held everything… and now hold nothing but the past.
Upbeat Country Song 2 - Beer Before Blame
A two-steppin' honky-tonk confession wrapped in a barroom grin. This fiddle-fired duet finds a couple owning up to poor decisions—and even worse excuses—all set to a stompy snare beat, dobro slide, and enough sass to make a jukebox blush.
Country Song 8 This Ain't Cheatin (If We Don't Touch
A dimly lit dive bar. Two people on opposite ends of the same memory. This Ain’t Cheatin’ (If We Don’t Touch) walks that razor-thin line between temptation and loyalty—where hearts lean in, but hands stay still. It’s a slow burning, emotionally rich duet that asks the hard question: What counts as betrayal if nothing ever happens… but everything’s felt?
Country Song 9 Last Time Was The Last Time
This song isn’t just a line—it’s a line in the sand. This gritty, guitar-driven duet hits hard with the truth about toxic love cycles. It’s the story of two people tangled in a pattern of empty promises, emotional standoffs, and one last chance that finally broke the loop.
Country Song 10 We Didn't Break, We Cracked
This song captures the quiet unraveling of a relationship—where love didn’t explode; it faded. With haunting harmonies and raw acoustic edges, this ballad pulls you into the real moments no one wants to admit out loud.
