With “You Deserve Better Than Me,” ReeToxA turns missed connections into a powerful rock ballad
“You Deserve Better Than Me” by ReeToxA arrives as a confession that slowly quiets down before it becomes something to sing along to, and it’s a softer emotional turn amongst the wider intensity of the “Soliloquy” album. The track is built on reflection, and it pushes into openness and the uncomfortable truth of meeting someone at the wrong time and leaving with truth instead of illusion.
The song is about a real-life meeting that came out of the blue, a quick meeting mooted at a casual meet and greet at a Mexican restaurant, and then played out at Arcadia Bar, South Yarra. That point of almost belonging but emotional dissonance is the heartbeat of the story. The track converts that experience into sound, allowing the feeling of almost to linger longer than any resolution ever could. “You Deserve Better Than Me” was recorded at the iconic Avenue studio in Cheltenham, Melbourne.
Kit Riley’s last-minute change of progression twisted the direction just enough to expose its emotional core, and the musicians nailed it with impressive efficiency, wrapping the take up in just four recordings. This track plays acceptance, turning the missed connection into a song that reflects on the timing, the self-awareness, and the self-restraint. This song is a sing-along moment of honesty, gentle in tone but heavy in meaning, in the ever-changing sound of ReeToxA to all who have ever felt that caring deeply is not always enough to make something last.

Indie Folk artist Mark Cee explores the lasting impact of loss in emotional single “How You Left Me Still”
“How You Left Me Still” is an indie folk release that embraces grief and makes Mark Cee transform a personal loss into something universal. The song is a reflection on the sudden vanishing of the people that populate our lives and is due to be released alongside his upcoming album.
The track is also inspired by his father-in-law’s passing and the reality of watching his mother-in-law experience overwhelming grief. The cover art is a memorial tribute to Mark’s own dad, and “How You Left Me Still” is the hushed shock of an unexpected farewell. It’s about the painful realization that life can change in an instant, that there will be words left unsaid, conversations left unfinished, and memories that become more precious with time.
The song embodies the warmth and intimacy of the indie folk genre, and the careful production further enhances the emotional experience. The gentle string arrangements supply a rich, cinematic backdrop, and every production decision feels considered, the result of months spent editing each and every recording until the feeling was entirely authentic.
“How You Left Me Still” is a reminder that healing rarely follows a straight path. It is for anyone who has the burden of losing a person who defined their life. Mark Cee delivers a release that gives a meaningful addition to playlists about grief, reflection, healing, and emotional connection with heartfelt storytelling, thoughtful arrangements, and timeless emotional honesty.
