The Places We Had Left to Go

Reggae sway meets gospel choir and chamber strings — "The Places We Had Left to Go" is a story about loss, love, and learning to keep going. Full description: Some nights the house feels too quiet. Then a small voice from down the hall asks you to leave the light on — and you realize you're not doing this alone. "The Places We Had Left to Go" is an original acoustic soul ballad with a subtle reggae sway, built around a warm lead vocal, a full gospel choir that opens, answers, and carries the song, and an eight-bar tenor sax solo that says what words can't. It moves from grief into comfort — unfinished road trips, an empty side of the bed, a brother who shows up, kids who keep you going. Written and produced independently, with the concept, story, and most of the lyrics coming from the artist, and AI used as a co-writing and production tool along the way. 🎧 If this one landed for you, a like, comment, or subscribe goes a long way for an independent release.
