How does this song make you feel?

2025/2/7 Edited to

... Read morePutting a song out into the world feels like baring a piece of your soul, especially when the lyrics come from such a personal place. This track, for me, is a journey through introspection and raw emotion. I often find myself drawn to the 'ocean shore' in my thoughts when I'm wrestling with feelings, that vastness reflecting the depth of what I'm experiencing. It's a symbolic place where I've spent countless hours, metaphorically 'waiting' for answers or for someone to just understand. The imagery of the ocean runs deep – it’s both calming and overwhelmingly powerful, much like the emotions I wanted to convey. Crafting these words, I wanted to paint a vivid picture of undeniable human vulnerability. We’ve all felt that moment where things are 'slowly breaking' around us, or carried the heavy burden of realizing 'it’s my fault.' There's a segment in the song that speaks to a desperate search, even exploring the chaotic emotional state of being 'wasted drunk I’m getting high looking for you.' This isn't about promoting any behavior, but rather vividly portraying the intensity of a mind consumed by longing and regret, desperately seeking a connection that feels lost—a heartfelt plea of 'oh girl, don't leave my.' It’s about the raw, unfiltered emotions that can drive us to extremes when we’re feeling utterly lost. Sometimes, music isn't solely about pure happiness or cheerfulness; it's about acknowledging and validating the full spectrum of our human experience, the beautiful highs and the challenging, introspective lows. It’s about being honest about when you 'went wrong' or when you just 'tried' your absolute best, even if the outcome wasn't what you hoped for. I believe that by sharing these unvarnished emotions, we create a space for others to feel seen, understood, and less alone in their own struggles. It’s about recognizing that these feelings are universal, even if our individual circumstances differ. That's why your feedback on 'how does this song make you feel?' is so incredibly important to me. It's not just about whether you like it, but about the connection we build through shared experience. Does a lyric resonate with a specific moment in your life? Do the melodies evoke a similar sense of yearning, hope, or understanding? When I write, I'm hoping to build a bridge, to express something that perhaps you couldn't quite put into words yourself. Hearing your interpretations helps me understand the song's journey beyond my own creative process. It reminds me that even in moments of feeling lost or like 'no I tried for you,' there's a shared human experience waiting to be discovered through sound. What part truly speaks to your heart, and what story does it tell you?

how to feel (not just think) your feelings 💖
It’s so common to want to stuff down your emotions, because when you do let them out they feel uncomfortable and too much. The key to not being a pressure valve that ends up exploding, is to let out a little bit of pressure or feel your emotions a little bit every day as they come up. #lemon8p
