Single Review: Melissa Ratley "The One That Said it All"

Courtesy: Evia Music

Rising Texas singer-songwriter Melissa Ratley is preparing to release a new single from her 2015 album, The Lonely View. "The One That Said It All" is the relatable story of a marriage - beginning with the knowledge that at times, it can be difficult, yet having the resolve to work hard and make it last. The mid-tempo tune's emotions, conveyed by Ratley's vocals as well as pedal steel and fiddle, soon take a turn with the realization that the relationship is damaged to the point where she has to move on, and knowing eventually everything will be okay.



"I gave everything I could so maybe we would look back and be proud
It was just to much for both of us to handle
But if you came back I'd make sure it'd be enough to stand tall
I lost my way, I've lost my mind
I made mistakes and I really tried to let this torn heart know that it would be okay."
