Your Voice In My Ears
A blues rock song about loss, memory, and finding the strength to keep moving when someone you love is gone.
The song lives in the quiet aftermath of loss — an empty side of the bed, a missing coffee cup, a scarf left hanging on the porch, and a house suddenly filled with absence. Those ordinary things become painful reminders of a life that used to be shared.
But this isn’t a song about surrendering to grief. Beneath the hurt is a stubborn determination to carry on. The person may be gone, but their voice, their truth, and everything they meant are still there. The narrator doesn't pretend he's healed or unbroken. He simply refuses to stay down.
“I’m broke, but I’m not apart” becomes the heart of the song: grief can leave scars, but it doesn’t have to be the end of the road.
Raw, reflective, and ultimately defiant, it’s about carrying someone with you while finding your own feet again — putting one foot on the road and pushing forward through the wreckage and the rain.

Lyrics
Your coffee cup is gone
Still wet on the rim
Your side of the bed
Feels like a church with no hymn
I heard that screen door cry
Like it knew my name
Now this old house is loud
And it ain’t the same
But I keep on walkin’
Through the wreckage and the rain
I still taste your goodbye
Like rust on a chain
Your voice in my ears
Your voice in my heart
(Your voice in my heart)
You were the best damn part
Your voice in my ears
Your voice in my heart
(Your voice in my heart)
I’m broke, but I’m not apart
Found your red scarf hung
On the back porch nail
Sun hit the threadbare cloth
Like a hard luck tale
I held it to my chest
Like it might make you near
Then I laughed through the hurt
And I fought through the tears
If I can’t bring you back
I can still bring me home
One foot in the fire
One foot on the road
Your voice in my ears
Your voice in my heart
(Your voice in my heart)
You were the best damn part
Your voice in my ears
Your voice in my heart
(Your voice in my heart)
I’m broke, but I’m not apart
Last night in the dark
I heard you say “go on”
Soft as a match strike
When the whole world felt wrong
So I stood up slow
With that hurt in my hands
And I swore to your memory
I’d still be a man
Your voice in my ears
Your voice in my heart
(Your voice in my heart)
You were the best damn part
Your voice in my ears
Your voice in my heart
(Your voice in my heart)
I’m broke, but I’m not apart
So I keep on pushing
Through the black and blue
If I can’t have your touch
I’ll carry your truth
Your voice in my ears
And I’m still alive
(Your voice in my heart)
I’m gonna make it by
