Hi friends, the time for a new song is here.
The song is about going through life and facing hard times, getting through those hard times, and coming out the other side and deciding that you are still willing to have hope in finding love… and then finding it. It’s a delicate topic at least to me, I feel like it’s very easy to be cynical about these things. Hard times happen and then it’s easy to look forward and think “fuck the world, this is as good as it’s going to get”. And honestly I feel that way sometimes, and that’s when songs like “Life is a Nightmare” happen. Sometimes though I realize I’m still here, I can choose to be hopeful. It’s hard to maintain that perspective, though I’d be doing myself a disservice if I didn’t explore the possibilities.
Like, what if I found it? Whatever that “it” is, I think people define it differently. For me I was thinking, the person that I want to move forward with and never let go of. I know what the cynical mind says, maybe it isn’t there, maybe it doesn’t exist, maybe it’s just society’s programming, blah blah blah. I turned those voices off, hit mute, and wrote a song about the single moment the feeling of being alone vanishes forever, and how that would feel… going from the moment where I am alone, to the moment where I’m not.
And maybe there isn’t one breath where it happens. Who cares, that’s the reality of this song, and that’s something I choose to ponder without giving a single thought to how plausible or practical it is. I choose to keep dreaming in this life, and I choose to stay connected to my imagination, and I choose to stay connected to hope.
Thank you for being here, you are appreciated 🙂
