Not Worth It
My first single, with many more to come! So excited to share this song, and I hope others enjoy it. This song started off with a lick on the Wurlitzer, and evolved into this whole production that it is now. The song is about a time when I was carrying many heavy things from others' lives (I work in health care for my day job) and realizing how much it was impacting those I love the most. It is about coming to terms with some of the unhealthier aspects of my daily routine, being willing to talk about it, and coming out stronger through hard but important conversations. Thank you for taking the time to listen and hope you enjoy!more

Mother Calls
Probably one of the saddest songs on our upcoming album. We wanted it to sound like we'd recorded it in an empty basement for the raw feel of it. more
