Less is More

8/14/23

I lost myself again

But that’s okay

I know I have the strength 

To get back on track

I confused wants with needs

Without a routine 

I forgot what my goals were

No goals feels like no purpose 

Which makes me feel lost

When I’m lost

My first instinct is to look outside myself

But that hasn’t worked in the past

It’s humbling being faced with setbacks

I used to think failure was the end of the world 

That one mistake meant all the progress I’ve made 

Has gone to waste

It was paralyzing

I’ve only recently internalized how silly that is

One trip doesn’t mean the race is over

I wrote my first song in over a year yesterday

The moment I found myself 

Was the moment I could write again

The more I wrote

The more clear I became 

I tried to record the song in my DAW

But I couldn’t get it quite right 

I’m not the best with the technical stuff

But that will not stop me from making music 

I decided to record the song on my phone 

Back to my roots

Just me and my little camera 

The way I recorded AVBS

It felt freeing 

I wasn’t caught up in the minor faults 

I didn’t wait to post until it was perfect

I knew I wouldn’t have posted at all

So I recorded on my phone 

I didn’t dress up or clean my room

It was raw footage of me 

The song is about taking a step back 

Sometimes all you need to do 

Is let out your feelings on your own 

And let the other person work through theirs 

When you’ve said everything you needed to say

There’s no point in saying anything else

Sometimes Less is More

My goal is to write about things that matter 

Things that you wish there was a song about 

Things that are hard to talk about 

I think this song is a step towards that direction 

There is more to life than romantic love and heartbreak 

I want to reflect that in my music
