haunted house – voice memo
This song went through so many iterations, but I have a soft spot for this first little demo that was just piano and vocals.
anxiety
I have been thinking a lot recently about sitting with my anxiety. Not about beating it, but about going deep into it– to try to understand it. Whenever I try to “beat it” or make it quiet, I usually just end up swallowed by it. So, I’ve been asking, “what are you actually trying to […]
