i recorded this on a very windy morning right before school started. i drove thirty minutes out of town, jumped over a few electric fences, and found this beautiful field. while i was recording, i truly thought there was no way that the audio would turn out any good, because the wind was so strong, i could barely even hear myself singing. so after a few attempts, i gave it one last go. at that point, i was just singing to myself, completely alone-- and thinking that the audio wouldn't work, so nobody would even hear the take. then, by some miracle, i listened back to the audio and it had actually worked.
so, alas, here is a video of me singing a song i wrote, mostly for myself, to absolutely nobody.
i love you all so much, thank you for listening to what i have to say, and for celebrating the things about myself that i used to not celebrate. you all teach me to see the goodness in every situation, every day, and for that i am ever grateful.
see you all in a few days~

L Y R I C S:
i know a place we could go
i know a place where there aren't any roads
where the grass is always greener,
and doesn't scratch your fingers
i know a place
so come with me dear,
the halogen hum hurts my ears
swim in the spring,
we could be free
cause i know a place we could go
no one has been there, and no one will know
there it is quiet, forget the violence
you've tried so hard to ignore
oh, i know a place we could go
unpack our bags and we'll call it a home
the sea will sing our minds to sleep
i know a place we could go
and once we get there we could stay
an old shaky house, our lives would be made
and i don't know all the answers
but you look like december
there we could stay
i'm tired of fear
grasping for safe, familiar
you are like me, oh, could we leave?
cause i know a place we could go
far from the highways, far from that home
seep in the silence, safe in our minds that
we try so hard to control
oh, i know a place we could go
no one will notice once we are gone
up in the trees, laugh on the beach
i know a place we could go
can we go home?
cause i know a place we could go
deep in the forest, out of the storm
our souls could be freed of the disease
that everyone tried to destroy
oh, i know a place we could go
no one has been there, no one will know
the sea will sing our minds to sleep
i know a place we could go
could we go home?
