about

‘Here’ is an ode to life’s way of changing direction and moving forward. Sometimes in moments of reflection, you find yourself wondering if what you’ve got is already enough.

This song feels timeless to me. No matter when I play it, it feels as relevant to me as when I wrote it. It’s for all those sentimentalists out there!

This is a slightly more stripped back one as I wanted it to feel authentic to the writing process, and keep the emotional vulnerability present in its roots. I wrote it back in summer 2017 in upstate New York and it’s a song I’ve wanted to record for almost 4 years now!

'Here' is part of my new music project, titled 'DIRECTIONS'!

Written, arranged, produced and released by myself.

lyrics

I wish I was an astronaut
I could see the world and all the things
I would leave behind
Would I find a way to the stars
Would I crash and burn
Or would I finally fly?

Cause I’ve been stuck
Stuck with feelings I can’t shove
And though I want to move on

What if I’m here, here
Is that enough, enough for me
And what if here is all that matters
Could it set me free?

And these waters, they replace every year
I know it might be the last time
I get to breathe in the smell of the pines
The way we danced all night
It’s true you’re changed by the moments
And the places you’ve been

Cause I’ve been stuck
Lost trying to find a way up

But what if I’m here, here
Is that enough, enough for me
And what if here is all that matters
Could it set me free?

I wish I could come back again
But these things they keep on changing
And I don’t know if I can
Cause I’m growing up
I haven’t got space to run
And anytime I want to find myself
I’ll think back to the time

When I was here, here
It is enough, enough for me
Cause when I’m here it’s all that matters
And I’m finally free

I’m finally free

I wish I was an astronaut.
