When the Wolves Show Up - Song

Описание: “When the Wolves Show Up” is ~94 BPM in E minor—mystical alt-rock with Southern soul in its bones. Slow-burn verses, a lifted chorus, and a message that’s old as dirt: stuff rusts… stories don’t.

I wrote this as a love song to the real kind of living—meaning over gold, memories over brand-new. It starts in a room full of sketches, scars, and crooked little chapters nailed to the wall… the kind of place that remembers you better than a Rolex ever could. Because the truth is, you can fill a house with things and still feel empty. But a life full of stories? That holds.

The “wolves” in this song are everything that circles when the lights go low—fear, doubt, old ghosts, the past sniffing at the door. And the point isn’t pretending they don’t exist. The point is showing up anyway. Showing up with cracked hands and a steady voice. Being the kind of person who stays when it gets hard.

Touch me to notice me. Feel me to see.
I’ll be there when the wolves show up too.

There’s a weird little myth-beast in here too—Epicyon haydeni—the ancient “bone-dog” I use as a metaphor for the prehistoric doubt in my chest. Big enough to drag you under if you let it. But I don’t. I hang its shadow on the wall and keep moving.

And yeah—why are my poems turning into music? Honestly, I don’t know. Poems came first, songs came later… then curiosity plugged in a guitar, a beat, and an AI voice (because if I sing, it sounds like a dog trying to howl over a church organ). I’ve written hundreds of poems over the years, and it’s electric hearing them breathe out loud. No grand plan—just freedom, experiments, and whatever feels real.
