Parking Lot was written over the span of a couple months, with many stylistic changes throughout the way. Originally being only guitar based, it eventually evolved into a more full sound when I began experimenting with synth, bells, and drums.
This song was written to capture some of my most intense thoughts, fears, and doubts about life goals, worldview, and religion. It’s easy to feel alone in these darker moments, but it is my hope that those of you out there who struggle with the same thoughts will feel some comfort from knowing it isn’t just you. And for those of you who can’t relate to the lyrics, I hope you can empathize with those who do! It’s a confusing world, and sometimes it only gets more confusing the more you think about it. But I hope that this song will be a reminder to dig deep and hold on tight to those you love (and those you don’t!) as they’re digging.more
