Burning the Drafts
About this track
"Everything I meant to keep is falling into shadows deep..." Sometimes words become a burden, and the only way out is to let them burn. "Burning the Drafts" tells the story of unsaid words, half-finished confessions, and memories turning to ash. As the fire warms the room but the spirit sinks into darkness, we invite you to a deep, soulful blues journey. Follow Midnight Coffee Blues for more late-night echoes.

Gone in a flash...
