It's Alright
Released: June 18, 2021
This is the second original song written, recorded, and produced by Neil Brockman. It features additional vocals by Niki Kennedy, and electric guitar by Adrian Sgoifo.
He describes it as “a song of conflict, yet comfort.” This song explores the wide range of painful emotions that we feel when our whole life seemingly falls apart. Anger, resentment, sadness, fear, uncertainty, hopelessness… Yet no matter how difficult things get, sometimes all we need is a bit of reassurance. A warm, calming voice to remind us that this too shall pass...and in the end, it's going to be alright.
"I'll hold you in a warm embrace.
And you will find that it's alright...it's okay."
Thick and Thin
Released: June 4, 2020

Their friendship has withstood the test of time and they remain best friends to this day. The song speaks to how our meaningful, long-lasting relationships play such an important role in our lives.
"Through all the pain and sin...through thick and thin...
We stand together."
