about

This EP highlights a few experiences but namely the collective idea and hope we hold on to of a “better place” at the end of all suffering. Through loss, growth, pain etc… we have a desperate need to look to the hope of a better place. And sometimes to get to that place it takes a lot of sacrifice and letting go.

Specifically, I wrote this song to reflect and honor someone I knew that suddenly and tragically passed away. He touched my life deeply and yet I feel like I never truly knew him. At the time me and his loved ones held on to the promise that he was going to a better place. And I held on to the promise I made to myself that I would start living with the intention to approach life and people without letting my fear hold me back.

This song (and the whole EP) is a reminder that you can make the “better places” you need in your life. You have to keep going and that all the pain, loss, sacrifice, and growth that are inevitable in life will lead you to a better place if you just keep holding on.
