about

Notes: Here's another track to feature the bass. My main priority here was just to have fun playing it. Mission accomplished! The lyrics play around with ideas about anxiety and expectations. I think they work pretty well here, but the point is really the bass. I have been away from that instrument for a really long time. It's my first and true love in music, and making time and space for it has been a wonderful return for me. It has been an opportunity to anchor myself to something old and true in my life. I hope you dig this one.

lyrics

Sooner or later
We reckon with what we become
I reject the notion
Ever in motion
I can't stop
If our children could see us
What would they say?

One day what's weighing us down
Won't bother us anymore

Sooner or later
The other shoe will drop
I don't know what you're saying
Just work every day
Then straight to the top
If our children could see us
What would they say?

One day what's weighing us down
Won't bother us anymore
