Some goodbyes do not feel like goodbyes when they happen.

I Should Have Held You Longer is a late-night soul jazz collection about missing someone, replaying the last moments you shared, remembering the little things, and wishing you had one more chance to say what you should have said.

These songs are built around the memories that stay with you:

the last kiss,

the last voicemail,

the road to their house,

the smell of their clothes,

the empty side of the bed,

the message you never answered,

and all the ordinary moments that only became important after they were gone.

Deep male vocals, warm Rhodes piano, soulful blues guitar, upright bass and brushed drums for lonely nights, quiet rooms, long drives and anyone still carrying someone in their heart.

🎧 Best listened to late at night with headphones.
