I’ve spent a lot of time writing about my frustrations and the questions of my life. My worry of the future and what it holds or doesn’t hold. My doubts and fears. I think it was a good and necessary step for me, helping me love the darker parts of myself I hadn’t really known before. Cynical and hopeful. Optimistic and negative. Confident and insecure. Dissatisfied and content. I’ve wavered between these emotions for as long as I can remember. One side always there to remind the other not to get too comfortable. I wrote Made It This Far about celebrating my story. Coming out on the other side of that fog, and seeing a little bit of light again. A reminder of my strength that held me together through all of the twists and turns that got me to today. I hope this song can be an anthem for you to remember that for yourself. We’re all doing the best we can to keep pushing through and choosing to see the good; To see how far we’ve come, instead of how much further we have to go. Thanks for all the love on this song, so happy to share it with you 🙏🏻
It really is an impressingly expressive song. The heroic feel of the (post-)chorus really matches the statement that proudly prevails: "I've made it this far." Very impressive, very meaningful. I also really like the first two lines the first verse starts on, as well as "don't trade the best for something better". It is important to remember that one does not need everything to be happy. The contrasts in this song are very unique, first the start of the second verse after the first chorus, and then afte the second chorus the bridge. The latter is especially exeptional for its really opposingly 'down' feel to the uplifting chorus, and yet it fits perfectly in. There aren't many songs with incredible contrasts like this that still manage to keep the song in unity. It is truly astonishing how well the parts of the song are held together. It follows a classic pop structure, but has way more variety and expression than usual pop songs. It is unique, intriguing, amazing, impressive, expressive, whatever... I think it is about as close to a perfect song as one can possibly get. Some little things I also like: the sound of the instrumental in the intro, the break at the start of the first verse, the simple yet well-fitting drum pattern, the break in the third chorus, and again: the bridge. It got me really overwhelmed.
Way to go Katelyn! Figuring out things like how to live in the moment, not take things for granted, and enjoy what you’ve got and who you are is quite the accomplishment for someone as young as you. You’ve got a wonderful voice and a great perspective. Thanks for being brave enough to share it with the world. Keep challenging yourself and you will help a lot of people on the journey of life.
Katelyn! One of the best artist I’ve ever heard. She deserved more! I think she is underrated! Her voice has something special and you feel that she is singing with her heart ❤️ I love that. I wish I could make a song with her one day 🙏
Scary how a lot of these lyrics were thoughts in my mind a couple days ago and now I'm hearing this.. relate to Katelyn so much though I'm sure we barely know a sliver of her life.
Found this song today and I'm glad I did. After four suicide attempts and not feeling like I belong here and Lossing two important people in my life. And just Lossing myself this song came at a time where I need encouragement abd needed to raise my head up high and looking back on what I've been thru and the fight I'm not giving up
Made It This Far" The more I get to know myself The less I understand myself I don't know how to let go Of this all weight I put on me Of who I am or where I'll be Once I learn to let go Always set my sights on Diamonds in the future Remember when you wanted what you got right now When I close my eyes And I'm all alone with my mind I get scared I'm unprepared And will be for the rest of my life But I've made it this far Yeah I made it this far Half way to falling apart But I've made it this far I've made it this far All my mom wanted was A house of kids, then we grew up Now she don't know where she fits So if I have the same fears Waiting there in 30 years Why I don't I just live like I've already made it I'm not what I'm chasing Like I don't need nothing more than what I got right now When I close my eyes And I'm all alone with my mind I get scared I'm unprepared And will be for the rest of my life But I've made it this far Yeah I made it this far Half way to falling apart But I've made it this far Don't trade the best for something better Please don't forget no one's here forever We're not here forever When I close my eyes And I'm all alone with my mind I get scared I'm unprepared And will be for the rest of my life But I've made it this far Yeah I made it this far Half way to falling apart But I've made it this far
A lot of lyrics from this song resonated very strongly with me. I think we all struggle with being satisfied with who we are and are anxious about what we want to be. At the end of the day we need to remind ourselves that we have made this far!
At this point I think it's safe to say that Katelyn is the artist that I can relate the most through her songs, like she writes exactly what I feel in so many different ways that sometimes I feel like I'm completely understood and I'm not alone. Thanks for sharing these songs and your thoughts with us, it means a lot Kate ❤
You don't know how much I love your songs because of the way you sing and the lyrics of your songs identify me too much and make me cry because they express everything I feel or have felt and I start crying and letting go of my feelings and I just wanted to say thanks for writing and sharing with us these beautiful songs that inspire us to change and be better. God bless you!!!
“Remember when you wanted what you got right now” that kinda gave me chills because you think you’ll never reach your goal but then you do and it is sweet 🙌🏼🤩
I feel like I'm in this time of my life in which I'm so anxious about the future, and yet proud of myself for getting where I am, even though I still have a lot to climb in my personal mountain. I love Katelyn and her music! ❤️
Katelyn's voice gives me chills. There's a lot of richness in her voice and deep meaning in her words. The notes and the background hits perfectly and allows you to let this masterpiece just surround you, flowing into your soul. It gives me all the feels aldkagjjgadleowq
Katelyn: you’re the best singer I have every heard and your songs are completely amazing and gorgeous. I can’t even explain HOW MANY times you’ve helped me get through some hard time with your songs. You deserve everything! I hope one day I can get to meet you. I’m from Monterrey MÉXICO 🇲🇽 please consider to come here and give a concert 🥺❤️ it will be a dream come true
This song found me just at the perfect time today, when I most needed to hear it. This is a masterpiece, and I relate in so many ways. I couldn't even comprehend, but it seems like we're all facing similar things somehow--in this journey called life.
I graduated undergrad a year ago and I’m halfway through grad school but I start my first full time position in a week. I still haven’t made friends in my new city and I’m terrified of my unknown future. This song is perfect.
This song is so relatable to so many people, and ne too in some parts. There aren't that many super relatable songs that are in this format anymore. It's either rap or country. Your songs are the kind of songs that I enjoy a lot!
‘remember when you wanted what you got right now’... that line hits too hard considering i just left school and all i wanted was to graduate and live life. these are some of the best lyrics i’ve ever heard in my life i relate to this song so much!!
Katelyn, yeh u made it this far, and yer well on your way. Talent and beauty, girl you got it gon' on. Luv that line, "we're not here forever", you're right, but you got so much livn' to do, and you're 🌟 has just started shining, I don't think I'll need my telescope to see how bright you become. I Luv ya girl, and I've got my 👀 on you. Peace Little Won 💖
I'm a man of short words. I don't like to comment nor give likes that much unless I like something for real. You got both. Specially the hook part. Kiddos to you. Will be checking your other songs tonight before sleep.
Katelynn you have inspired me since you were on Big Time Rush and when I hear your lyrics I can just relate and I think that’s why I have loved your music and got attached to your personality. Thank you for everything.
Your music is so special to me. As soon as I listen to each of your new songs, I feel so understood. I feel so grateful that you write so honestly about everything you feel. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve turned on your music when I’m having a hard time, and I instantly felt less alone. Made It This Far is beautiful. I hope I get to hear it live one day ❤️
So relatable. I have therapy atm and I get to know more about how my brains works. My negative self takes over many times, the more I get into details the more I understand why I get agressive and sad all the time but I still don't understand me. I ask myself why I beat up my sister (also other people) and stuff, why I am so addicted to sh, why my brains works how it works. It is a weird situation. Over the years I changed a lot, in a negative way. Also I get scared all the time, the only people that still believe in my progress are my coach and friend. It feels like my parents already gave up because I relapsed in a lot of problems and addictions. If you are still reading my comment please take care of yourself. If you deal with stuff I am here for you. I have been through a lot and I have a lot of mental illneses (things like depression, anxiety, sexual abuse, ptss..). I love you and I know how hard life can be but the sun will always rise up and go down. I life day by day, not thinking about the future because thinking of it causes panick attack and stuff like that. Keep breathing, it will be okay even if you don't believe it. I am here for you.
The song in itself is remarkable and speaks about you and your genuineness to which each one of us can relate, I really think you are special and one day you'll have fans around the globe. A big fat kudos to you n your work........
this has become such an anthem for me & i only started listening to this yesterday. i am officially graduating from high school this year, after years of not knowing if it was a possibility for me. i’ve grown up with a learning difficulty so school has never been my strong suit. this song perfectly highlights the struggles of living with fear & anxiety & just wanting to get through your worst.

Your music has been so comfortable to me

I just love your songs!
Wow the line “remember when you wanted what you got right now” hit me like a ton of bricks
same :)
It's so scary how relatable this song is and it came at a perfect timing too! Thank you. ❤
I totally agree very relatable
Yes it is scary and it's a good song to reflect on too. 😍😘😊
Yeah
Katelyn! One of the best artist I’ve ever heard. She deserved more! I think she is underrated! Her voice has something special and you feel that she is singing with her heart ❤️ I love that. I wish I could make a song with her one day 🙏
You'll be able too, just keep moving forward, and you will get there, and you will have your chance
t'es partout mdrrrrrrr
@@lesbeauxsoirs4634 surtout chez les artistes Francais, donc oui de le voir même ici ça fait bizzare mdr
Radio & MTV need to trend with positive messages like this instead of more songs about cheating & alcoholism. God bless KT
Scary how a lot of these lyrics were thoughts in my mind a couple days ago and now I'm hearing this.. relate to Katelyn so much though I'm sure we barely know a sliver of her life.
She's so UNDERRATED actually in industry af 💔😢 deserves more recognition Worldwide!

Katelyn Tarver is underrated.
But yes you did. You made it this far. Glad I was here to meet you. 💙
This song needs a music video....😍😍😍
Made It This Far"
The more I get to know myself
The less I understand myself
I don't know how to let go
Of this all weight I put on me
Of who I am or where I'll be
Once I learn to let go
Always set my sights on
Diamonds in the future
Remember when you wanted what you got right now
When I close my eyes
And I'm all alone with my mind
I get scared I'm unprepared
And will be for the rest of my life
But I've made it this far
Yeah I made it this far
Half way to falling apart
But I've made it this far
I've made it this far
All my mom wanted was
A house of kids, then we grew up
Now she don't know where she fits
So if I have the same fears
Waiting there in 30 years
Why I don't I just live like
I've already made it
I'm not what I'm chasing
Like I don't need nothing more than what I got right now
When I close my eyes
And I'm all alone with my mind
I get scared I'm unprepared
And will be for the rest of my life
But I've made it this far
Yeah I made it this far
Half way to falling apart
But I've made it this far
Don't trade the best for something better
Please don't forget no one's here forever
We're not here forever
When I close my eyes
And I'm all alone with my mind
I get scared I'm unprepared
And will be for the rest of my life
But I've made it this far
Yeah I made it this far
Half way to falling apart
But I've made it this far
Obrigadaaa💖
I felt that
Tiffany Jones me too
A lot of lyrics from this song resonated very strongly with me. I think we all struggle with being satisfied with who we are and are anxious about what we want to be. At the end of the day we need to remind ourselves that we have made this far!
Very inspirational
This becomes my daily morning song together with her other songs.. 😍
😍😍😍 thank you!

I cannot express how impressed I am with your talent, especially the manner in which you express yourself.
She writes her music in an honest and clean way and sings so good yet still underrated in so many ways.
I'm always so scared of what the future holds for me that I ruin my present with the worry, this song speaks all of that. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
i'm listening to this on new years, crying in my bathroom and i've never felt any better
