Gary Dranow’s “Devoted Wife” released April 25, 2025, is a haunting, story-driven rock single that unravels the quiet chaos beneath a seemingly perfect home. With emotive male vocals and rich instrumentation, the track delivers a moody and cinematic experience that pulls listeners into a domestic web of secrets and silent heartbreak.

From the very first line “Josephine wakes at the break of dawn/A perfect life, her world withdrawn She begs to lunch, a kiss goodbye” we’re introduced to a woman caught between loyalty and suspicion. Patrick, her husband, leaves each day with vague excuses, unaware of the darkness lurking in Brian’s late-night visits. The lyrics are poetic and unsettling, especially the eerie “mirror, mirror” section that questions truth, power, and perception.
Instrumentally, everything clicks. Smooth guitar tones, steady drums, and subtle keys blend seamlessly to support the emotional narrative without overpowering it. Dranow’s delivery is heartfelt and raw, giving the story real weight.
