Pete Berwick: Stand Alone

Pete Berwick: Stand Alone

Pete Berwick's sixth studio album, with backing band The Mugshot Saints delivering the musical firepower, produced by Jason Botka at Skye Bleu Studios in Villa Park, Illinois, and according to his critics, his finest work and masterpiece, scraped from the trenches and ruins of the long, hard miles and highs and lows of his hard-fought battles in the music industry. Each song is written straight from the heart and delivered like a punch to the stomach. If you like country, blues or just good ass kicking rock and roll you've got to check out this album.

Stand Alone
STYE621 · Pete Berwick: Stand Alone · Peter Nathan Berwick
4:39·1 versions
Singer SongwriterEmotional, Gloomy, Heartfelt

The album's title cut and longest of its ballads at 4:39 — male lead vocal over acoustic and electric guitar, bass and drums, with female harmony shading the choruses. Slow-burning and gloomy, it reads as a song about going it alone after everything else has fallen away, suited to end-credit resolution rather than mid-scene action.

There Was A Time

2:18·1 versions
Singer SongwriterDirty, Emotional, Heartfelt

A short, dirty, rustic 2:18 stomp with harmonica cutting across acoustic and electric guitar, bass and drums, and female backing behind the male lead. The nostalgia in the title plays as weathered rather than sweet, good for quick-cut montages of old photographs, small towns and hard years.

What She Means To Me
STYE621 · Pete Berwick: Stand Alone · Peter Nathan Berwick
4:36·1 versions
Singer SongwriterEmotional, Heartfelt, Inspiring

The one track on the album carried by organ alongside electric guitar, bass and drums with no acoustic in the mix, giving it a soul-tinged, roadhouse warmth across 4:36. A heartfelt declaration of love with an inspiring lift, it suits wedding footage or a late reconciliation between two characters.

Where I'm Gonna Meet Her
STYE621 · Pete Berwick: Stand Alone · Peter Nathan Berwick
5:21·1 versions
Singer SongwriterEmotional, Heartfelt, Hopeful

At 5:21 the longest cue here, a hopeful, moody slow build of acoustic and electric guitar, bass, drums and male lead with female harmony. The title's promise of a future meeting gives it a yearning, forward-looking arc that works over long driving shots or a story of waiting for someone.

Hold On
STYE621 · Pete Berwick: Stand Alone · Peter Nathan Berwick
2:51·1 versions
Singer SongwriterEmotional, Fun, Heartfelt

The most upbeat and playful thing on the record — 2:51 of harmonica, acoustic and electric guitar, bass and drums with male lead and female backing, rustic and hopeful. An encouragement song built for a quick, sunlit montage of getting back on your feet.

4:16·1 versions
Singer SongwriterDirty, Emotional, Hardship

Grittier and harder than its neighbours: 4:16 of dirty, hardship-weighted country rock with acoustic and electric guitar, bass, drums and female harmony under a male lead. The cynicism in the title suits crime documentary, prison or hard-luck biography footage.

Never Say Those Things
STYE621 · Pete Berwick: Stand Alone · Peter Nathan Berwick
4:36·1 versions
Singer SongwriterBreakup, Emotional, Gloomy

A straight breakup ballad, gloomy and sad across 4:36, with male lead vocal, acoustic and electric guitar, bass, drums and female harmony. Regret over words that can't be taken back — for an argument's aftermath, a couple splitting, or an empty house.

One Day
STYE621 · Pete Berwick: Stand Alone · Peter Nathan Berwick
2:51·1 versions
Singer SongwriterEmotional, Fun, Hardship

A compact 2:50 with a playful swing set against hardship in the lyric mood, band arrangement of acoustic and electric guitar, bass and drums plus female backing. The 'someday' optimism makes it an easy fit for a short scrappy-underdog montage.

She'll Be The One
STYE621 · Pete Berwick: Stand Alone · Peter Nathan Berwick
3:07·1 versions
Singer SongwriterEmotional, Fun, Heartfelt

Three minutes of fun, rustic country rock — male lead over acoustic and electric guitar, bass, drums and female harmony — with a love-struck, forward-leaning tone. Good for a first-meeting scene, a flirtatious montage or an upbeat honky-tonk needle-drop.

Broken Words
STYE621 · Pete Berwick: Stand Alone · Peter Nathan Berwick
3:29·1 versions
Singer SongwriterBreakup, Emotional, Heartfelt

A 3:29 breakup song that keeps a hopeful undertow, arranged for male lead, acoustic and electric guitar, bass, drums and female harmony. Sits between heartache and repair, making it usable for a Valentine's-adjacent romance beat as well as a mid-story separation.

2:45·1 versions
Singer SongwriterEmotional, Heartfelt, Introspective

The shortest cue's near-neighbour at 2:44, a tender rustic love song with male lead, acoustic and electric guitar, bass, drums and female harmony. The wish to hold a moment still suits slow-motion family footage, a last dance, or a photo-album sequence.

4:57·1 versions
Singer SongwriterEmotional, Gloomy, Heartfelt

The album's long closer at 4:56, gloomy but hopeful, with male lead vocal, acoustic and electric guitar, bass, drums and female harmony. About love too large to articulate, it has the length and weight for a final montage or full end-credit roll.
