Soundtrack Of Our Lives

Every life is a story. Sometimes music helps us understand it.

For most of my life, music was simply there. Then I began creating songs from my memories, questions, relationships, mistakes and desires—and discovered that music could help me explore a question I had spent a lifetime trying to answer: Who am I? – Veronica Broyles

I Spent a Lifetime Looking for Veronica

My name is Veronica Broyles. I’m the person behind the songs on this site. For most of my life, I’ve been searching for some understanding of the woman I wanted to become.

I once thought my story was largely a story of secrets, hiding and running away. I’m beginning to see it differently. Perhaps much of it was an imperfect, sometimes painful attempt to find some way to express, explore and live a truth that felt real to me.

At 73, I don’t pretend that I’ve finally figured everything out. But something unexpected happened when I began crafting songs. Memories became lyrics. Questions became songs. And the music began giving me another way to look at my own life.

Soundtrack of Our Lives is where I’m exploring what those songs have to tell me.

music that moves us

The Music Was Always There

You don’t have to write songs—or even think of yourself as musical—to have a soundtrack. Music has a way of attaching itself to our lives: to childhood and family, first loves and friendships, celebrations and losses, mistakes and new beginnings.

Years later, a familiar song can bring those moments back with remarkable clarity. But sometimes it does something more. It can make us look again at an experience we thought we understood, see ourselves differently, or finally find words for something we never knew how to say.

That’s what I’ve begun to discover in my own life. The music I once simply listened to helped me remember where I’ve been. The music I now create is helping me ask what those experiences meant—and what they might still have to teach me.

The Music of a Life

Your soundtrack is already being written. It lives in the songs you remember and the music that helped you through different chapters of your life. Look back. Listen again. Ask yourself why those songs mattered. And if part of your story still doesn’t have a song, perhaps it’s time to create one.

how the songcrafting began

You Don’t Have to Say A Word Tonight.

On April 30, 2025, someone I cared about was hurting. I wanted him to stay, but he was going to leave. I couldn’t change what was happening, and I didn’t know what to say.

So I opened my computer and turned to a tool I had barely begun to understand. I wasn’t trying to become a songwriter. I simply wanted to give him something I couldn’t find the words to say myself.

The result was “You Don’t Have to Say a Word Tonight.” It was a song about simply being there—about not needing answers, not needing to fix anything, and being willing to sit beside someone through a difficult moment.

I didn’t know it then, but something had changed. One song became another. Memories became lyrics. Experiences I hadn’t thought about in years began finding their way into music. Eventually I realized I wasn’t simply creating songs. I was finding another way to tell—and understand—the story of my life

One Life. Three Veronicas.

One name has followed me through much of my life, but Veronica has come to mean different things along the way—the person I am, the woman I imagined, and a life I chose to create. Each has found her way into the stories and songs I tell.

Veronica Broyles

songcrafter

I am the person behind the songs—the memories, questions and experiences that give them something to say. At 73, songcrafting has become an unexpected way of looking back at the life I’ve lived—and understanding it differently.

Veronica Glenne

veronica re-imagined

For most of my life, there was a Veronica in my imagination. Veronica Glenne personifies that woman—not who I am or even who I might have been, but something closer to the woman I dreamed of becoming.

Veronica Tazman

a chosen life

In the virtual world of Red Light Center, I was free to create a life without many of the boundaries of the physical world. Veronica Tazman is the woman who lives that life—and whose relationships and experiences have inspired many of my songs.

THE VOICES OF THE MUSIC

Different Voices. Different Sounds.

Different songs call for different voices. These performers give the music its range—from country storytelling and rock to dance, male vocals and whatever sound the story calls for.

ROCK SOUNDS

Yvonne Martine

The harder edge of the soundtrack. Yvonne gives voice to songs of independence, frustration, determination and refusing to quietly accept what life hands us.

COUNTRY SOUNDS

Vanessa Carter

Stories of love, loss, memory and starting over. Vanessa brings a country voice to songs about ordinary lives, complicated relationships and the roads that bring us home.

DANCE SOUNDS

Roxy Blaze

Bold, playful and unapologetic. Roxy takes the stage when the music calls for more energy, more attitude and permission to simply have some fun.

MALE VOCALS

Steve Aberdeen

Some stories need a man’s voice. Steve brings warmth and perspective to songs of love, reflection, relationships and the experiences we sometimes hear differently from the other side.
