My fav artists & their lyrics <3
Chance Peña — I am not who I was
- So if I fly too far,
will I still have a place inside your heart?
And when you see what I’ve become,
will you love me for who I am not who I was?
These lyrics hit so hard because, after losing a dear loved one.. I changed for the better. I’ve worked so hard to become a better person and the people I knew before claim that I’ve changed too much.
Hozier — Cherry Wine
- The way she shows me I’m hers and she is mine
open hand or closed fist would be fine
the blood is rare and sweet as cherry wine.
Growing up, my sister and I dealt with unfortunate child hoods. These lyrics hit too close to home.
Noah Kahan — Orange Juice
- During highschool, I left my public school to be homeschooled. I was going through a lot mentally. None of my ‘friends’ or classmates messaged or reached out until a year later. It was ‘my fault’ that I didn’t reach out.
These stories aren’t for pitty. I am healed and I am doing great. I just want to share for anyone that could have gone through the same situations and look to music for comfort. 🫶
