Where did you go? [SSC7 Make Us Cry Challenge]

A classic jazz and big band arrangement evokes 1940s-50s Americana with lush brass, clarinet lines, and walking upright bass, Subtle brushes on drums and muted trumpet solos add melancholy, Somber strings, vintage piano, and distant crooner harmonies deepen the post-apocalyptic sadness

[Verse 1] I still set the table for two, Out of habit more than hope. I keep your sweater by the door, Still smells like your cologne. The coffee cup you used to hold Just gathers dust and time. The silence in this house Screams louder every night. [Pre-Chorus] Everyone says I should move on, But they don't see your ghost at dawn. [Chorus] You were the light I followed home, Now I’m walking blind, alone. Every sunrise feels so wrong Since you've been gone. You're not in the wind or the rain, You're not in the stars or the pain. You're just a name I whisper low — Where did you go? [Verse 2] I replay your laughter on loop, From that old voicemail you left. I know the words by heart, But it still takes my breath. I found your note beneath the bed, You said you'd be right back… Funny how forever Can vanish just like that. [Pre-Chorus] They tell me grief gets softer, But it just gets quieter. [Chorus] You were the light I followed home, Now I’m walking blind, alone. Every sunrise feels so wrong Since you've been gone. You're not in the wind or the rain, You're not in the stars or the pain. You're just a name I whisper low — Where did you go?
