Keys Don’t Lie (He Don’t Touch Me Anymore)

Marley sings our original song “Keys Don’t Lie (He Don’t Touch Me Anymore).” It is a slow, late-night soul-blues ballad sung from the perspective of a still-desirable middle-aged woman who feels invisible in her own marriage. Once passionately desired, she now watches her husband emotionally and physically withdraw (eyes glued to his phone, sleeping turned away, no longer touching her or even noticing her efforts to reignite the spark). The upright piano becomes her confidant and metaphor: its keys moan when played, but remain cold and silent like his hands on her body. Beneath the heartbreak runs a current of defiant self-worth; she knows she’s still fire, still wine, still worth wanting, and the bridge ends with the quiet threat that if he won’t claim her, someone else soon will. It’s bourbon-soaked, cigarette-smoke heartache that turns into quiet, elegant resolve at 3 a.m.
