My Man

LYRICS:
You left, but my heart stayed where you walked away.

Every breath, every glance you took still lingers in the light of day.

I can’t pretend I’m over you, no matter what they say.

Love like this doesn’t fade, it’s not just a game we played.

[Chorus]

My man, my man, I loved you with all I had

My man, my man, you’re still the "best I ever had"!

Though you’re gone, I hold on, to every word, every song.

My man, my man, my heart was always in your hands.

The world keeps turning, but I’m stuck in this place.

I see your face in the shadows, memories I can’t erase.

From the nights we danced to the sound of the rain.

I’ll carry you with me through every joy, every pain.

They told me time would heal these wounds, but I can’t let you go.

I still hear your voice in my dreams, and I know...

[Chorus] (Repeat)

They say that time can heal but they don’t know what’s real.

The love I have for you runs deeper than the sea.

I may stand alone but you’re still here with me...

[Final Chorus]

My man, my man, I loved you with all I had.

My man, my man, you’re still the "best I ever had"!

But now I’ve learned, love’s a flame that won’t be burned.

My man, my man, I’ll "always carry" what we had!

Presenting: My Man
Released in 2024, My Man is a deeply moving reimagining of Fanny Brice's classic song from over a century ago. This modern interpretation transforms the early 20th-century ballad into a contemporary breakup anthem, seamlessly bridging the gap between past and present.

Exploring themes of love, loss, and self-discovery, DJnewton’s version is anchored by soulful vocals and a minimalist arrangement of piano and swelling strings. While honoring the emotional depth of the original, this reinterpretation offers a fresh perspective that resonates with today’s audience.

Lyrically, My Man reflects on the lingering presence of lost love and the journey toward acceptance, featuring poignant lines like "My man, my man, you're still the best I ever had" and "Love's a flame that won't be burned." Reframing the narrative, DJnewton shifts the focus to personal strength and emotional growth, moving beyond the original's portrayal of a toxic relationship.

This reimagining highlights DJnewton’s ability to blend classic songwriting with modern production techniques, creating a track that feels nostalgic yet boldly contemporary. My Man is both a powerful tribute to a century-old legacy and a showcase of DJnewton’s innovative artistry.

With its timeless themes and modern execution, My Man establishes DJnewton as a compelling new voice in music, connecting generations and appealing to fans of both vintage melodies and contemporary ballads.
