I sing to empty rooms Praying you’re inside them I open each window and door Though you don’t come, it lets the light in And as the light dies The night always comes And I am alone I was scared to bury or bore you And now to most it wouldn’t matter much But now that you have gone I still wonder what made you flee my touch When I do sleep I do not dream anymore I wail into the walls of the house we built Only the spiders move I’ve become stone I’ve become still And still I don’t blame you No I’d never blame you And I never will I’ve learned to live alone And I’ve learned to lose you But no matter how hard I try I hope you’ll find me worth coming back to I turn the porch light on And sing my simple song And I just wait

about

I made this EP at a point in the pandemic where I had become enveloped in hopelessness, deep frustration, and a lot of heartbreak. An elder in my life had recently contracted COVID-19, the vaccine rollout hadn’t yet begun, and my anxiety and depression were at an all-time high. All I wanted in that moment was music that could hold me and let me rest.

With this craving in mind, I began to record “Not Yet”. The majority of the project was recorded in my bathroom, and was a deep learning process for me in regards to trying to achieve a recording by myself that I could feel proud of. I had the help of two dear friends and collaborators; Damon Daunno, who lent a hand with some beautiful harmonies on “Not Yet” alongside Gabriel Ebert, who also brought a beautiful harmony and piano arrangement to “Simple Song”.

This project brought me so many lessons surrounding patience, the importance of community, and the beautiful gifts that can come with being alone. I only hope that anyone who listens to this EP can garner some of the solace I was able to gain from making it.
