This song was written on Samhain, spending time thinking about my friends who have passed to another realm. The verses reflect deeply about my own experiences with depression, and loved one's struggles with addiction. I believe that it's important to speak about these subjects, even when it's hard to talk about. For me, songs and poetry shine a light in these dark places. This world can sometimes feel difficult or impossible to navigate and survive for many of us, we can only hope that music, relationships, and mental health care can help pull us through the hard times.
Shoutout of thanks to the Steady Collective for the important harm reduction and advocacy work they are doing in Western North Carolina.
Also, huge appreciation to All Souls Counseling, providing sliding scale therapy in Asheville. They've been a huge help to me!
