If You’re Feeling Overwhelmed

No AI was used to create this music.

This live vocal performance is a gentle reminder of the power of pausing, breathing, and staying present—especially in moments when life feels overwhelming and we think we can’t go on. 💛

This song is about allowing the breath to carry us through difficult emotions, helping us soften instead of pushing, and finding strength in stillness rather than force. It’s an offering of encouragement for anyone moving through grief, burnout, anxiety, or transition.

It also demonstrates that technical perfection is not required to create something beautiful. Healthy vocal expression isn’t just about notes—it’s about nervous system regulation, emotional honesty, and allowing the voice to move freely through the body. ✨

One More Breath

An original song by Bonardi & Holmes (Carisa Holmes and Tony Bonardi) featuring Steve Perakis on strings.

Lyrics:

Nighttime falls

In this darkness will I heed the call?

Can I make it?

Will I stand, or will I falter?

Is this mine, my choice to alter?

Yearning for the light

Fighting for my life to begin within

I’ll take just one more breath

Feeling small

I can’t take this

Give my all

I can’t fake this

Will I be what I meant to be?

I can see that I was meant to live inside the light

I don’t want this life to end

Suspend, and take just one

One more breath in this moment

One more breath, just for now

I will stay here and breathe

One more breath

One more breath

Hmm
