WE WERE NEVER MEANT TO DO THIS ALONE
(Backstage Pass Part 3)
There's a saying:
"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."
In this part of the
Backstage Pass, I share a story from my early days in Nashville - and how the encouragement of a friend kept me from walking away.
That season eventually inspired this song ...
When I went through some of the darkest seasons of my life, I discovered the incredible gift of people who simply showed up.
You're Always in My Heart is my way of saying thank you to those friends - and a reminder that none of us were meant to walk through life alone.
We all need people who encourage us, celebrate with us, and help carry the load when life gets heavy. I hope this song reminds you to be that kind of person ... and to let others be that person for you.
Thanks for taking the time to watch these Backstage Pass videos. It means a lot to me that you'd spend a few minutes getting to know the stories behind the music.
Since we're getting acquainted, I'd love to send you a little welcome gift.
It's my
"Starter Pack" - a collection of music and a few of my favorite goodies for new members of the Rigganators.
Inside you'll find:
- A postcard with a handwritten note from me
- An exclusive CD (signed + numbered!)
- 13 digital song downloads
- A couple of stickers
The Starter Pack is free. I just ask if you'd cover the $6 shipping so I don't have to hock my piano ... or start selling plasma. ๐
Here's the SECRET LINK to claim your Starter Pack.

YOU'RE ALWAYS IN MY HEART
words and music by Scott C. Riggan

This isn’t what you hoped for
Nothing has gone as planned
All of your dreams
Have blown away like sand
Your eyes look a little haunted
Your smile is a little strained
And I know that you never
Wanted it this way
You’re not alone
No matter how you feel
Wherever you may go
I’ll always be right here
You’re always in my heart
You’re always in my heart
Nobody can heal your heartache
There’s nothing that can be done
(You’re learning to) breathe again, and that’s
Really quite enough
But lying awake, you wonder
If anything good will be yours again
For whatever it’s worth I’ve been there too my friend
You’re not alone
No matter how you feel
Wherever you may go
I’ll always be right here
You’re always in my heart
You’re always in my heart
Don’t you fail to believe
The sun will shine again, there will be relief
And when the wind blows away the debris
You’ll see I’ve always been here
You’re not alone
No matter how you feel
Wherever you may go
I’ll always be right here
You’re not alone
No matter how you feel
Wherever you may go
I’ll always be right here
You’re always in my heart
You’re always in my heart
You’re always in my heart
You’re always in my heart
