I was really hoping to see an original song from you and here it is! If I can be so bold, I’m proud of you for putting your own work out there. Of course, all lyrics are in the eye of the beholder but I think I can relate to some degree. I’m nearing 50 and depression visits me less frequently these days than my utterly chaotic 20s. It is indeed like an old friend, being so familiar. Almost like a blanket. That said, maybe I’m so used to it that I’ve just integrated it into my life. I prefer to be alone most of the time anyway so it’s difficult to tell where I end and my old friend begins. But I’ve come this far and I’m, for want of a better word, happy. Keep calm and carry on, and keep writing beautiful songs. And for the love of god don’t delete anything! Worst habit I have, deleting everything on bad days…. RUclips videos, recordings, song ideas, everything because I’m suddenly convinced it’s all shit, regardless of what my peers tell me.
Thank you so much! It’s so nice to hear that you can relate to the song, and to read such an eloquently written comment, which so accurately describes the meaning behind the song.
Emily, this is a lovely song: melodic, moving and hopeful. Well done, we look forward to hearing more of your own compositions!
Thank you very much, Jennifer & Howard! I’m working on some new compositions!
This is so beautiful, ty for sharing ♥️
