🎙️ Several Years Late – A Blues Confession in 12 Songs 🎶
Some stories are too heavy to tell in order.
They reveal themselves the way memory does—out of sequence, in fragments, through the wounds that never fully heal.

We begin with "Several Years Late", a confession that arrived far too late to change the ending, but still demanded to be spoken.

"Backroad Moonlight Blues" drifts slow and quiet, like headlights fading in the rearview mirror, carrying all the words that stayed unsaid.

In "Still Have Hands", there’s a reach toward something real—a stubborn act of proving that feeling still exists.

"Shake On These Rails" trembles with the sound of departure, each rumble carrying pieces of what was once ours.

"Don’t Leave Me Alone" pours out a plea without shame, laying every vulnerability bare.

We find ourselves "Back on These Old Streets", where every crack in the pavement remembers the footsteps that once walked beside us.

Then comes the freeze—"Don’t Walk Away So Cold"—a moment where love left without warmth, and everything stopped.

"Don’t Play Me Slow" follows, a quiet mercy plea: if this is the end, let it come quickly.

The haunting "Being Silent Is Not Not Knowing" speaks of the kind of pain that doesn’t need words to be understood.

"I’m Not Your Fool Anymore" is the turning point—not in anger, but in weary dignity.

In "I Don’t Have Much", the truth stands naked: there is nothing left to give but tired hands and an aching heart.

We close with "There’s Your Name"—not the memory itself, but the way a single name can still cut through the years like it was spoken yesterday.

💔 Every song is a letter never sent.
🎶 Every note is a truth that refused to stay buried.
