I know it's the holiday season & we're supposed to be overflowing with joy, but I had to check in with myself and do a bit of digging on this new record. When it comes to these #ThursdayFirst drops, I'm not forcing anything. What's on my mind that week? That's what I'm talking about.
Well, at the end of October I met somebody and our first two conversations ended up touching on a lot of personal and significant topics. We skipped right past the small stuff... One of the convos in particular had me thinking a lot about my present situation and what kind of decisions I needed to be making in the weeks to come. Then... just as quickly as this person entered my life, they exited. THAT started me thinking about where I was a few years ago.
Kowalski and I had made this beat in 2018 during the Paul Bunyan Sessions & it fit the mood perfectly. I started looking through old lyrics and ideas I'd had for it to see if there was anything I could use. I'm proud to say that even though the emotions were similar, my point of view was not. I was truly shattered back then, worn down and begging for abuse. Today I was able to see things from a place of clarity and strength.
So what we have here is a look back at the past and a clear statement about the present. This was such a relief to get off my chest and I hope if you're ever in a similar place, it could help you too. I've been repeating that chorus to myself all month like a mantra... You can listen right now on Soundcloud (bio), Bandcamp, or Audiomack. It'll be hitting the other streaming sites within the next week or so.
Hope you're well. Thanks for figuring this all out with me.
