Callum Trace - The Chair Beside Me | Soul Pop Music

Lyrics: Deeply emotional male vocal with restrained verses and soaring sustained notes, slow piano-led pulse, warm bass, brushed drums, subtle organ, mournful guitar, distant backing harmonies, and a spacious ending that leaves the final words exposed The chair beside me knows your shape The floor remembers where you stood I still make coffee for us both Then pour yours out into the wood The neighbors ask if I am well I give the answer people need But every room becomes a field Where absence grows a bitter seed I talk to the chair beside me Like you only stepped outside I tell it all the small things I was saving for tonight Grief does not arrive like thunder It just slowly changes size So I talk to the chair beside me And I leave a place for time Your jacket hangs behind the door It holds a winter in the sleeve I pressed my face against the cloth And let the quiet watch me grieve The day keeps asking me to move The sun keeps crossing every room I hate it for its easy work Then thank it when it touches you I talk to the chair beside me Like you only stepped outside I tell it all the small things I was saving for tonight Grief does not arrive like thunder It just slowly changes size So I talk to the chair beside me And I leave a place for time One day I may move the furniture One day I may paint the walls That will not erase your laughter That will not undo us all Love can stay without a body Love can breathe beyond goodbye I sit in the chair beside you As the evening fills the blinds I tell you I am still here I am learning to be kind Grief has not become much smaller But my heart has changed its size Now I sit in the chair beside you And I let the silence shine I let the silence shine --- From the soul of Georgia to your everyday soundtrack.
