about

Originally written as the theme song for a friend's short film, this turned out to be one of my favourite songs I've made. It was a joy to have Dante with his cello join me on it, and to play this beautiful song live together in that empty hall as the pandemic raged on was truly special. Performed and recorded live at the 918 Bathurst Centre in Toronto by yours truly.. I hope it takes you on a journey :)

lyrics

Look at us, we’re like dying stars
Look at us, we’ve both come so far
Outshining the entire galaxy
But if you look up close, we are collapsing

Do you see this glow, this bright light shine?
This beautiful heart that’s gone through trials (and trials)
That’s longed for hope for far too long
That’s in need of a song to sing along to

An alternate reality
One I’m too happy to join
The time is now my currency
Here’s my chance to flip a coin

I’ve always wondered if I ever ventured out of my comfort zone
Could I see myself there? Could I be myself there?
I’ve always wondered if I ever ventured out, could I find a home?
I could see myself there, I could be myself there

Look at us, here we are again
Light years gone just around the bend
If you asked me, I know I can’t regret
Now you’re asking me what’s around the bend

I know I was made for this
I know I’ve been saved for this
It’s as if my soul’s been kissed
I know I belong with stars
I know I have strayed too far
But I know now just who we are

I’ve always wondered if I ever ventured out of my comfort zone
Could I see myself there? Could I be myself there?
I’ve always wondered if I ever ventured out, could I find a home?
I could see myself there, I could be myself there

But I’m not wondering anymore what could have been
I’m glad to be where I am and where I’ve been
