Beautiful. So interesting seeing the evolution of a song, thank you for sharing this insight into your process 🙏🏽 I love the simplicity of writing your thoughts like a text message, and then seeing what those words became with music..
the ending lyrics, “your pain is my pain with a different story,” really struck me. As a person in my early thirties dealing with chronic illness, I’ve been thinking so much about different kinds of loss and pain and grief. These words made me feel more understood, accepted, and less alone. Thank you for your music and writing ✨
I adore how you advise to listen on headphones. I rarely enjoy music any other way. Not the same experience when listening distracted, exercising, driving, etc. Much prefer the immersive experience as if listening live!
My mind is fixated on that "conversation starts" part. In last 2-3 months I had this notion of "substance of good leaking out of body", it's just some nice feeling but it is easy to name. The point is that it was good space to start a song, to grab the first idea. How good it actually is... well. Full grown examples are yet to come.
I agree with Nolan and Mary. This song is hauntingly beautiful, evoking friendships and relationships that are tender and fragile. I listened with headphones and enjoyed learning about your process. Thank you for sharing.

It is a privilege to read and hear what you have to say,. I will try headphones.

It is truly a privilege to have discovered your substack and you of course starting it.
"Got so used to reacting out of past hurts
That I forget how a conversation starts" - this hit home hard.
