Smokey Soul Blues – I Made Myself a Promise – Jack Varelli at the Bean Flicker

Jack Varelli takes the lead on “I Made Myself a Promise.” It’s about reaching that point where you finally stop making excuses for someone else and make yourself a promise not to go back—even when part of you still wants to. I wasn’t completely sure how the song would feel with a male vocal, but Jack’s warmer, slightly rougher delivery gives it a different sort of honesty. Let me know what you think of Jack’s version. Does this voice suit the song, or do you prefer one of the female versions? Dedicated To My Soulmate. Original lyrics written by Roger for COB Music Fusion. © 2026 COB Music Fusion.
