Start With a Story That Speaks to You

The KP Meier catalog covers both the difficult chapters of life and the moments that make them worthwhile.

Some songs confront betrayal, regret, and strained relationships. Others celebrate love, determination, family, and the relief of leaving everyday pressures behind.

Blessed to Keep Going

After facing loss, betrayal, and difficult seasons, the narrator finds the strength to rebuild through hard work, gratitude, and the support of his family.

Available in Country Grit and Rock versions.

Burning Love

A passionate love song about moving beyond the fear of being hurt and embracing a relationship that brings warmth, excitement, and new life.

The Dad I Once Knew

A child addresses the pain left by a father who walked away from his family while leaving open the possibility that trust could one day be rebuilt.

Foundation of Lies

An uncompromising song about the instability of a life built on deception and the truth that eventually appears beneath a carefully maintained image.

Explore Love and Connection

Bending Time

Work, politics, and everyday worries can wait. Sometimes you just need good company, a cold drink, and a place to fish.

Love Is a Tunnel

A lasting friendship survives conflict, uncertainty, and changing circumstances before two people recognize the love that has been growing between them.

Love Touched Down

After a long separation, an approaching airplane signals the end of waiting and the beginning of a long-anticipated reunion.

Shine on Me

A brief and intimate expression of longing that connects a loved one’s presence with warmth, light, and emotional renewal.

Explore Heartbreak and Hard Lessons

Dead Ringer

A passionate relationship resembles love without offering genuine trust or security. The narrator recognizes the difference but struggles to pull away.

Good Choices Bad Decisions

A look back at leaving home, chasing freedom, overlooking warning signs, and learning how quickly one decision can change the direction of a life.

Mountaintop Heartache

The narrator climbs away from betrayal and a love that failed. The higher he travels, the more distance he places between himself and the pain below.

Painted Lady

An attractive appearance conceals manipulation and dishonesty in this warning about trusting an image without seeing the person behind it.

Part Time Wife

One person wants lasting commitment while the other continues chasing nightlife and temporary excitement. Eventually, the relationship can no longer survive that difference.

The Dealer of Grief

A dark portrait of a manipulative person who uses charm, desire, and misplaced trust to control the people drawn into her life.

Explore Songs about Grit and Perseverance

Bittersweet Embrace

Regret and difficult choices weigh heavily on the narrator, but reflection gradually gives way to grace, strength, and a willingness to continue.

Burning Daylight

Time is too valuable to waste. This song calls listeners to get moving, work with purpose, build something lasting, and take responsibility for the life ahead.

I Am the One

A vulnerable self-portrait of loneliness, contradiction, hidden pain, romantic uncertainty, and the struggle to understand who you are beneath the role you present to others.

Available in two arrangements, including “Look You in the Eye.”

Just Stand

A call to speak openly, defend your convictions, and refuse to remain silent when you believe something needs to change.

Available in Standard and Metal versions.

Shovel Hits Dirt

Hard work separates genuine character from empty talk. Sweat, persistence, and calloused hands become the measures of respect and personal worth.

Something to Prove

A difficult upbringing and years of physical work shape a narrator who takes pride in struggle and questions a culture increasingly drawn to easier paths.

We Will Fly

From learning to stand after a fall to facing the final stages of life, people continue reaching, striving, and searching for something more.

My Name Is Kay K

A joyful portrait of an energetic young girl with a strong personality, a supportive family, and the confidence to pursue big dreams.

Explore the Lighter Side

Rhythm That Moves You

Bass, movement, and dance-floor energy take over in a song about letting the music interrupt your thoughts and move through your entire body.

Hear the Lyrics in Different Ways
