The Young Fables
“She Was Mine”
The Young Fables have released their brand new album, Pages, which features the poignant standout track, “She Was Mine.” Penned by the pair Laurel Wright and Wes Lunford alongside Dean Fields and Mitch Dane, the plaintive ballad is a heartfelt chronicle of Wright’s heartbroken spirit after losing her sister.
“I’ve been busy comforting everyone but I’m tired of faking smiles / God, I believe / But that don’t mean I can’t ask why,” she renders before pleading for another chance to see her again and heavy-heartedly admitting, “I know she’s yours, but it sure felt like she was mine.” This melancholy tune is country music at its rawest — and finest. — Jeremy Chua
