Where Stories Turn To Songs

We’ve just released What a Shame, the newest track from singer-songwriter Bill Leyden. This one’s for the quiet moments of reflection—the ones that come too late, but still matter.

Set against a backdrop of fading sunlight and steel guitar, What a Shame is a gently aching ballad about the things we carry, the silences we keep, and the grace that sometimes comes after regret. The lyric doesn’t point fingers—it simply opens a window into the kind of truth that sneaks up on you.

If you’ve ever walked a quiet road replaying what might’ve been said—or unsaid—this one’s for you.
