I’m a composer. I’m not usually a songwriter. Writing lyrics is not one of my strengths. But once in a great while, inspiration strikes, and the result is something like this.

This is a song about a faithful companion. The actual inspiration was more specific than that, but I’m choosing to leave it vague. The song takes an emotional journey through companionship, betrayal, regret, reunification, and reassurance.

The vocal range is G2-G4 (male), G3-G5 (female).
