Release Review: Nathan Bryce and Loaded Dice – Gone Since Texas | Rock Music
Music Review:
“On “Gone Since Texas,” Nathan Bryce and Loaded Dice deliver a rock ballad unafraid of intensity, letting it swell until it becomes almost physical. The vocals convey emotion with precision, balancing vulnerability and release, as if tracing the outline of absence itself. The melody drifts between tender, calming passages and surges that spike the pulse, giving the track a sense of emotional whiplash that never feels unearned. The electric guitar cuts through with sharp immediacy, echoing long after each phrase fades. Meanwhile, the relentless rhythm acts as a driving force, sustaining a slow-burning tension that ultimately blossoms into moments of cathartic release.”

Lyrics of Nathan Bryce and Loaded Dice – Gone Since Texas
Verse
I can see her standing there
dragonfly pin in her hair
Sang to her from the stage in Texas
she was my only care
Pre Chorus
Now she’s gone gone gone
Something’s wrong wrong wrong
Chorus
Left with nothin’ but guesses,
I’ll never know why
But when I think about it
She’s been gone since Texas
Verse 2
My mind knows better but my heart don’t
I pick up the pieces of all that broke
I can’t change the way she rolls
The way she runs when it’s too much to hold
Chorus
Bridge
Said it’s alright when it all feels wrong
Why do I keep on holdin’ on
What does it take to get inside her head?
I replay every single word we said
Things were good in Texas
Now she’s in Missouri, and I’m in Misery
Chorus
Outro
I wish I could tell her how I feel
But she can’t take the pain of being real
It’s going good until she wrecks it
She’s been gone since texas
