As Winter Rhapsody Volume 1: Dawn of Solitude prepares to release this Friday, December 12, I’m continuing to release a 60 second audio snippet of the next track from the album – this one is Track 3, “A Promise Kept.” It’s a reflection on love, loss, and the quiet promises that linger long after the moment has passed.
This song captures the essence of a first love, a fleeting connection marked by a promise made beneath the oak tree—“I’d love you forever if fate allows.” The snow falling outside serves as both a backdrop and a metaphor for that love: pure, fragile, and unspoken, yet unforgettable. Time and distance eventually pull the two apart, but the promise remains—quietly held, even when everything else changes.
The narrator reflects on the day they watched their love leave, the despair that followed, and the realization that true love, though fleeting, leaves an imprint on the heart. “The love that remains is a promise I’ve unwittingly kept.”
As you listen to “A Promise Kept,” I hope it reminds you of your own quiet promises—the ones that live on in your heart, whether or not you’ve realized it. Some promises, though small or forgotten by the world, stay with us forever, carrying meaning even in silence.
When Dawn of Solitude drops this Friday, I invite you to experience this track as a tribute to the love we carry with us, even after it fades from view.
