Someone I deeply care about inspired me to write this song. Yesterday he had to deal with some heavy family issues and it broke my heart to see him go through it. He’s experienced a similar situation before and his girlfriend at the time was not particularly supportive so I really wanted to be there for him. Tmi? Probably.
At 25 it’s no easy job
Carrying the weight of your blood
You weathered the storm and got left behind
But it’s a new season this time
I don’t know if I can promise you much
But I will wait with you as you wait for the sun
Though it feels like it may never end
In the end we’ll be alright
Lightning struck, it caught you off guard
How could you know you’d live it all again?
You’re scared you’re forever cursed now
I’m your shelter when the wind’s too harsh
I don’t know if I can promise you much
But I will wait with you as you wait for the sun
Though it feels like it may never end
In the end we’ll be alright
I promise you
We’ll be alright

Lovey picking style (especially under the chorus), really suits the heaviness of the song somehow… and that second line, brilliant!

"Carrying the weight of your blood" - great way to put it. Quarterlife crisis is a real thing. Guitar picking + vocals work well together. :)

The hook is so dreamy and goes super well with the fingerstyle guitar I’m really proud of you for posting your first song bestie <3

lovely sentiments and lyrics. we've probably all known those hours where we were waiting for the sun and all we needed was a kind friend to listen.
