This is a song about a young couple who were just almost at the finish line and about to walk down the isle, but called it off last minute for whatever the truthful reasons. They still look back thinking on those great times together, and continue to work thru each and every heart-broken, "drink it off their mind" day.

Solo Write

Just kind of how I was feeling that day. The lyrics, original vocals and tune are mine with Suno used to complete the song (both cover vocals and music)

“Barstool Tradin’” was born from the moment you realize running from your demons just means they keep packing themselves in your suitcase. I wrote it about a man who’s convinced that the next bar, the next town, the next distraction will finally numb what he doesn’t want to face. But every mirror, every motel room, every new beginning keeps telling him the same truth: you can’t outrun pain with poison. The title came from picturing a guy trading one barstool for another like currency — city to city, excuse to excuse — until everything he loved slipped through his fingers: his woman, his job, his pride. The turning point hits in the most human place possible — a cheap motel floor. That’s where he feels God’s grace “slide under the door,” reminding him grace doesn’t wait on perfection; it meets you exactly where you break. This song is about: ? Addiction vs. redemption ? Losing everything before you change anything ? A man who finally chooses salvation over self-destruction ? Realizing the move he needed wasn’t to a new town — it was to a new life “Barstool Tradin’” carries the grit of Jelly Roll, the heart of Luke Combs, and the raw honesty of someone finally ready to fight for himself.

I heard someone say, “She was glowin’ like a bonfire,” and it stopped me in my tracks. The phrase was so visual, so alive — I knew there was a song in it. It felt like summer, sparks, and that kind of girl who steals the whole damn night.

Finally leaving an on again off again first love

My words and melody.

He’s been bruised by love before—enough to make most men walk away from it for good.
But then she showed up…
“Ain’t My First Rodeo (But It Might Be My Last)” is a gritty, emotionally grounded male country ballad about a man who's been through failed love, heartbreak, and hard lessons—but this time, he’s staring down something real.
She doesn’t flinch when the wind kicks up. She doesn’t run when the past gets messy.
This might be the first woman who can ride through the storm with him—and the last one he ever needs.

????“Hope Dealer”????
Written By: Heather Platania
I wrote “Hope Dealer” during a time when I felt completely emptied out — emotionally, spiritually, creatively. I wasn’t looking for a sermon. I was looking for something real. A lifeline. A light.
This song flips the narrative we hear so often.
The world has plenty of dealers that pull people down…
But what if someone showed up dealing faith, hope, strength, and love instead?
That’s who this song is about.
He’s not just a healer.
He’s the hands that restart your heart.
He’s a Hope Dealer.
Every lyric, every melody was written straight from my soul —
for anyone who's ever felt like they were too far gone.
You're not. And you never were.
