Track 3- mourning

It is funny when you start to grow-up and find yourself and your siblings/friends/cousins etc. now living as adults. You have jobs, new hobbies, co-workers and experiences outside of your family circle. You start to look back on old photos and read old papers, letters or craft projects you did as a child and have that moment of "I remember when....."

I started writing a journal entry after the Christmas holiday of 2023 and the entire entry was about my siblings and how each of we had changed. "Wow, I hugged my brother and he seemed more manly, I can't believe he has been a Dad now for almost a little over 7 years (this is crazy)". I also wrote "My sister's laugh is the best, I don't know how she does it but she still giggles like a little kid". It was in this that I knew that there was a part of me that mourned just being kids with them and I missed it more than I knew. I thought about how time just changed it all, how I saw them, how I communicated with them and How we all responded to each other as well.

When I started writing track 3 for the album I knew I wanted to write about this experience I was having, mourning my childhood and how much my relationship had changed with my siblings. The lyrics just poured out of me and I tried to find similarities that we all share while still realizing that "Time changes everything..."

Mourning

Verse:

One more drink for me

It's the only way I know how to deal with what I'm feeling

I can't let it be

I over think on everything even when it's not happening

If you tell me it's ok, I'll agree, cause 'ok' is better than what i see

If you try and fix me now, I'll say wait

Chorus:

Time changes everything

Time changes everything

Time changes everything

Time changes everything
