Weight I Don’t Carry
What if the heaviest thing in your life is something you were never meant to carry? “Weight I Don’t Carry” is about finally putting down the guilt, regret, expectations, old wounds, and other people’s burdens that have been weighing you down for years. It’s not about running from your past. It’s about making peace with it. Some things are yours to fix. Some things are yours to forgive. And some things simply aren’t yours anymore. This song is for anyone who has spent too long carrying yesterday into today. If you’ve ever felt like you needed permission to let go, maybe this is your song. Press play. Put the weight down. Keep walking. If it hits somewhere real, save it, follow Zane Mercer, and come ride along. 🤠 Performed by Zane Mercer using AI Tech & Learnin’ The Heartache. Written, Composed & Produced by Clinton Obray, Both 100% Human, but ain’t afraid to use the Tech to get the results for excellent music. Thanks & God Bless!! more

Dust on the Bible...(Rust on the Frame)
Dust on the Bible, Rust on the Frame. This song feels like quiet spiritual neglect wrapped in nostalgia—a man realizing he’s let time, faith, and what truly matters slowly slip away. The dust and rust aren’t just physical—they symbolize a soul that’s been sitting untouched. What it should make you feel is a kind of reflective ache… not guilt, but a heavy awareness that life drifted off-course, and maybe—just maybe—it’s not too late to turn back. Part of my Newest Album "Zane Mercer Cowboy Ballads & Dusty Trail, Featuring Katie B." Streaming Now!!more

Time Was Cheap
“Time Was Cheap” isn’t just a song. It’s a season of life bottled & left with the cork half out. It’s a song that breathes. Theres a quiet gravity that doesn’t beg for attention, but gets it because it’s earned, like an old photograph speaking to you. Written, composed & produced by Clinton Obray, performed by Zane Mercer (My AI Persona). A modern Americana ballad blending nostalgia, hard truth, and emotional clarity.
