about

Originally written summer of 2018, I had just moved to Nashville, my first move out of state. I knew very few people and the loneliness and anxiety of moving to a new city was hitting hard. Late one night, I picked up my viola and out came this song. I thought about turning it into a full band song, but in the end decided I wanted to do it all by myself. Just violin, viola, and vocals.

I decided to release this song now because I have personally struggled a lot with mental health during this pandemic. I truly hope that it could possibly give just one person some extra motivation to "Just Keep Trying."

lyrics

It’s late at night and I’m biding my time
The thoughts in my mind won’t lay down and die
They’re racing around, they don’t make a sound
I’d shut them out, if I only knew how

I’m stuck in a dream where nothing tastes sweet
The dark in my mind won’t let my eyes see
It’s all around, can’t find my way out
I’d shut it out, if I only knew how

I just keep trying
Even when the days are long
I just keep on trying
Even when I’m all alone

It’s 6AM, no rest did I see
The stress in my mind won’t let me feel free
It’s pushing me down, feel like I might drown
I’d shut it out, if I only knew how

I just keep trying
Even when the days are long
I just keep on trying
Even when I’m all alone
