this life we live
Produced on April 3rd, 2026.

This song started out while sitting outside alone at the backyard of my grandparents' (mom's side) home. I can't truly explain the feeling I felt then, but I will say it was lonely yet calming to just be away from all the noise in life. When I got home, I ended up just taking the experience & putting it into this song right here.
It took me about an hour & a half to finish the song & when I finished it, I immediately uploaded it to my distributor. I ended up not liking how it sounded, so I had to remix it about 4 times before getting it just right.
Whenever I listen to this song, especially at night, I tend to get retrospective & reflective. A few days ago, while listening to this song again, I ended up thinking about my old friend group from the group therapy that my mom put me into when I was like 12. Shit was cool.
I like to say this song is about the past, present, future, & the what-ifs, all in one six & a half instrumental track. These are all the things this song makes me think about, and I wonder if others will have the same experience.
I recommend listening with both ears, to really immerse yourself in this little audio/visual I made (the visuals are your imagination! cue the Spongebob meme). I don't have any explanation for the intro other than I thought it'd be cool to add. It's a little nod to Devon Hendryx since he did the same thing on the demo of one of his songs, HBK.
This track is dedicated to Lydia, someone who inspires me everyday. Someone who stuck by me during the best & the worst. I'm sorry I took too long to get you in the guest list for prom, truly. You have no idea how much it like kills me to disappoint you like that. I love you so much.
