Better By Half
The Corner Clerks
You took the long way home again
Counted every coin you spent
Said the city had no manners
But you kept your Sunday sense
There’s a man at the station
With a paper and a grin
Says the world keeps turning
But nobody clocks in
You had plans on a napkin
Now they’re folded in your coat
You keep laughing at the timing
Like it’s some private joke
There’s a queue at the bakery
There’s a dog outside the bank
There’s a song from a taxi
That you almost want to thank
You don’t need a big answer
You don’t need a grand escape
You just need one decent Tuesday
And a bit less on your plate
So you straighten your collar
Let the bad news pass
Put your hands in your pockets
And you make it last
Not winning not losing
Just doing the math
Some days get better
Better by half
Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck
Better by half
No golden plan
Just one more joke
And a steady hand
You don’t need glory
You don’t need proof
Just somebody laughing
At the back of the room
Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck
Your cousin had a theory
About getting out clean
Then he bought a small van
And a coffee machine
Now he parks by the market
With his radio low
Says the secret is simple
Never let Monday know
You remember old trouble
With a smile on its face
How it sat beside your future
And took up all the space
But you made a little progress
On a very plain day
Paid one bill sent one message
Threw one bad thought away
So you straighten your collar
Let the bad news pass
Put your hands in your pockets
And you make it last
Not winning not losing
Just doing the math
Some days get better
Better by half
Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck
Better by half
No golden plan
Just one more joke
And a steady hand
You don’t need glory
You don’t need proof
Just somebody laughing
At the back of the room
Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck
No parade no headline
No speech to rehearse
Just a small kind of fortune
When it could have been worse
You can carry your worries
But loosen the strap
Life may not fix you
But it cuts you some slack
Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck
Better by half
No golden plan
Just one more joke
And a steady hand
You don’t need glory
You don’t need proof
Just somebody laughing
At the back of the room
Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck
You took the long way home again
Counted every coin you spent
Said the city had no manners
But you kept your Sunday sense

Almost Beautiful
Sand Castle of Ma
Yeah
Almost beautiful
You left your shadow
On the passenger side
Like a quiet ending
At a red street light
I kept the moment
But I lost the weight
Of waiting for something
That was already late
Now days feel lighter
When the hope runs out
I hear my own voice
A little less loud
And I don’t hate you
That takes too much room
I just stopped turning
The sky into you
Maybe we were young
Maybe we were tired
Maybe love got lost
Somewhere in the wires
I don’t need a reason
I don’t need a sign
I just need tonight
To feel like mine
It was almost beautiful
Almost good enough
Almost like a movie
Almost like love
We were almost honest
Almost made it through
Almost had forever
Then forever moved
And I’m not broken
I’m just new
It was almost beautiful
Losing you
Oh-oh
Almost beautiful
Oh-oh
Almost beautiful
I saw your name
On a screen last night
It didn’t hurt me
Like I thought it might
Just a small old feeling
Passing through
Like a song from a car
That never stops for you
I walked for hours
Under changing signs
No big confession
No perfect line
Just a quiet freedom
I never planned
Like letting go
Without using my hands
Maybe we were close
Maybe we were blind
Maybe love looks better
From the other side
I don’t need an answer
I don’t need a fight
I just need my heart
To sleep tonight
It was almost beautiful
Almost good enough
Almost like a movie
Almost like love
We were almost honest
Almost made it through
Almost had forever
Then forever moved
And I’m not broken
I’m just new
It was almost beautiful
Losing you
I won’t call it wasted
I won’t call it wrong
Some people are chapters
That read too long
I won’t make you guilty
I won’t make me small
We were almost something
And that’s something after all
Almost beautiful
Almost true
Almost everything
I wanted with you
Almost beautiful
Almost gone
I can still remember
But I can move on
It was almost beautiful
Almost good enough
Almost like a movie
Almost like love
We were almost honest
Almost made it through
Almost had forever
Then forever moved
And I’m not broken
I’m just new
It was almost beautiful
Losing you
Oh-oh
Almost beautiful
Oh-oh
Almost beautiful
Mm
Almost beautiful
Losing you

You feel that?
Yeah don’t think—just move
Left foot right foot
Back again
No need to talk
We understand
Move—
Without asking
Move—
Without asking
You're here I’m here
That’s the sign
No past no plan
Just feel the time
Eyes locked no blinking
No space for overthinking
Close the gap
No words
Just that
No reason
No name
Just rhythm
In flame
You didn’t ask—
You moved

Halfway Honest
Rowan Grey
I told you enough to calm your doubt
Left every harder detail out
Called it mercy called it care
But truth with holes is still unfair
You read my face before my words
Knew every answer had been curved
I kept the facts at arm's length
Then watched that distance take our strength
I cannot ask for trust again
Without admitting where I bent
I was halfway honest
That means halfway gone
I gave you selected pieces
Then asked you to hold on
I was halfway honest
You deserved the whole
No more careful versions
No more edited soul
I made excuses sound so clean
Kept my fault behind a screen
Said I wanted us to heal
While I hid what you could feel
You never asked for perfect proof
Only one complete hard truth
So here it is without defense
I broke our bond with half events
I cannot ask for trust again
Without admitting where I bent
I was halfway honest
That means halfway gone
I gave you selected pieces
Then asked you to hold on
I was halfway honest
You deserved the whole
No more careful versions
No more edited soul
If you leave I understand
If you stay I change my stand
Either way this much is true
I will not hide myself from you
I was halfway honest
That means halfway gone
I gave you selected pieces
Then asked you to hold on
I was halfway honest
You deserved the whole
Now you get the full truth
No more edited soul

Question Life
The Unpaid Actors
I wore my doubts like coins
In the coin-slot sky
Tossed them up for answers
They came back tied
My shoes on the curb
My hands in my coat
I asked the dark around me
For one clear note
And every sign
Looked back at me
Like maybe
Maybe it’s me
Question life
Question life
I keep asking why
Question life
Question life
Till the hurt goes quiet
My mother said “hold on”
My brother said “run”
My best friend laughed too hard
When I said “what’s done is done?”
The train doors opened
I stepped right in
No map in my pocket
Just a pulse and a grin
And every face
On that crowded ride
Said maybe
Maybe tonight
Question life
Question life
I keep asking why
Question life
Question life
Till the hurt goes quiet
If I don’t know
Then I don’t know
Still I’m moving
Still I’m close
To something real
Under my feet
Not all answers
Have to speak
Question life
Question life
I keep asking why
Question life
Question life
Till the hurt goes quiet
Question life
Question life
I’m alive tonight
Question life
Question life
And that’s my light

Letters You Never Sent
Ctrlphase
Letters You Never Sent
Ctrlphase
Your words folded in air
Carried by nothing but silence
I tried to trace the sender
But your name blurred in distance
No return address no ink
Just the shape of what we meant
I keep them in the drawer
The letters you never sent
I read them with closed eyes
Feel your voice in every line
Even without a single word
You always cross that line
Sometimes I wish I’d never looked
But I can’t unread your absence
The page was always blank
But I filled it with persistence
You always cross… that line…

This Isn’t Love
Chris Nate
Verified Artist
Chris Nate
Meet Chris Nate, the alternative tunesmith you've probably never heard of, but will soon be unable to live without. Emerging from the vibrant music scene of Nashville, this little-known troubadour is steadily carving a niche for himself in the wide world of alternative music.
Chris is notoriously bashful about his origins but will tell you this: the fundamental building blocks of his music lie not in Nashville's sing-and-clap heartland, but on the rhythmic streets of his namesake city, Natchitoches, Louisiana. Every song seems to skate effortlessly across bayou blues and backwater folk rock, all while maintaining the ebullient tone that is so very Chris Nate.
It's no surprise that this seemingly scattershot blend of influences works so well given the success of his track, "This Isn't Love." A merry jaunt that dares to ask, 'What if love was more like playing jazz on a banjo in space?’ Delivered with a wink, a nod, and most crucially, a tie-dye shirt, the song is a festival of joy that will have listeners tapping their feet while crying laughter tears.
So, grab your headphones and give Chris Nate a spin. Here’s an artist whose music won’t just tickle your ears, but might just tickle your funny bone as well. He's serving up slices of life with a side of melody, and it's a recipe that's simply too tasty to resist. And if that isn’t love, well, this isn’t a biography. Or is it? Chris Nate might make you question everything. Everything except for his expertise in creating cheerfully menagerie tunes, that is.
This Isn’t Love
Chris Nate
Your keys on my floor like secrets we ignore
Talk cheap in the kitchen but silence said more
Late bites blurred lines
We orbit what we can’t define
And I don’t ask you to stay
But you never walk away
Ooh—ohh—caught in that delay
This isn’t love but we never cared
Falling halfway still unprepared
We burn low slow-motion descent
(Huh!) we just crash not intent
(Yeah!) we just crash not intent
The door’s half closed your shadow blends
Routine strangers no need to pretend
Unread texts skipped calls
But still I’m there when you fall
I won’t hold out a map
You keep tracing the gap
Mm—yeah—holding what we lack
This isn’t love but we never cared
Falling halfway still unprepared
We burn low slow-motion descent
(Huh!) we just crash not intent
(Yeah!) we just crash not intent
Words don’t heal in stereo
We play roles we’ll never know
But I’d still let it repeat—mmm—aah
Ahh—mmm—breathe in the mess
Still tethered nothing less
[Final Chorus]
This isn’t love but we never cared
Falling halfway still unprepared
We burn low slow-motion descent
(Huh!) we just crash not intent
(Yeah!) we just crash not intent
(Uhh!) crash not intent

The Weight Between Us
David Alwin
The Weight Between Us
David Alwin
There’s space between your hand and mine
Like time forgot to stretch that far
We move in silence side by side
Close — but not where we are
The weight between us
Holds more than gravity
We’re still reaching
But the air is heavy
You say the words I hear the tone
But meanings live beneath the stone
You’re near I know — and yet alone
This ache is carved into bone
The weight between us
Holds more than gravity
We’re still reaching
But the air is heavy
[Outro – Spoken filtered]
Maybe closeness isn’t distance
Maybe it’s resistance

Old News
Kelvin Boyd
Verified Artist
Kelvin Boyd
Kelvin Boyd is an R&B and soul artist known for blending warm falsetto vocals with relaxed, conversational songwriting. His sound sits between classic soul, sample-based rhythm and modern groove, pulling together chopped records, electric piano textures and understated rap verses that feel personal without trying too hard. Rather than chasing drama, Kelvin’s music leans into maturity, detail and emotional control, turning everyday moments into songs that feel intimate, lived-in and quietly memorable.
His release Old News captures that approach perfectly, pairing a light, floating vocal with a grounded story about growth, distance and getting to a better place emotionally. There is nostalgia in his music, but it never feels stuck in the past. Kelvin Boyd makes songs that sound confident, warm and human, built for listeners who want soul with honesty, rhythm with restraint and a voice that can carry both tenderness and self-possession at the same time.
Old News

(old news old news)
Somebody told me you got married
In a garden in the spring
They watched my face for the crack
And I gave them nothing
I checked myself all the way home
Waited for it to land
But it's old news
Old news
Somebody else's headline now
It's old news
Old news
I hope the garden was beautiful
And I mean it and that's new
(old news old news)
[Rap Verse]
Two years back this would have wrecked a whole week
Called my brother couldn't sleep couldn't eat
Now I hear the story and I'm halfway through a sandwich
Genuinely happy for you that's the plot twist
Time doesn't heal that's a line that people sell you
Time just hands you something else to fill you
Built a life so full there wasn't room to keep you
And that's not bitter that's the kindest thing I'll tell you
I kept the jacket for a while
Left it at a charity shop in March
Somebody's wearing it in the rain right now
And they don't know a thing about us
But it's old news
Old news
Somebody else's headline now
It's old news
Old news
I hope the garden was beautiful
And I mean it and that's new
I'm not over it because I won
I'm over it because I grew
Those are two different endings
And I got the better of the two
But it's old news
Old news
Somebody else's headline now
It's old news
Old news
I hope the garden was beautiful
And I mean it and that's new
It's old news
(old news old news)
