Is this just the start or the end of everything I find comfort in between The clouds beneath my feet are shimmering As acceptance supersedes And I remember the scenes Wishing on planes Drifting over the beach Where the planes becomes stars And the world is just too far As the ashes fall we all Fade into something more As the engine gives away Nostalgia finds its place How I long to be back home with you looking up Where the planes become stars My breath slows As the pilot begins to speak The words fall with everything In my hands I hold the last songs I'll ever play What blessings they've been to me And I remember the scenes Holding you so close to me With the years still within reach Where the planes becomes stars And the world is just too far As the ashes fall we all Fade into something more As the engine gives away Nostalgia find its place How I long to be back home with you looking up Where the planes become stars In an attempt to send my final goodbyes The connection fades before my eyes And suddenly I am alone And suddenly I am alone And suddenly I am alone Alone, alone, alone And suddenly I am alone How I long to be back home with you looking up Where the planes become stars

about

I wrote this EP during a crazy bout of insomnia. It’s something I’ve struggled with all my life.

It started as this little side project. I was getting about 2-4 hours of sleep a night for months and traveling a bunch. I started writing these cozy songs to help me fall asleep and take my mind off things.

I ended up with something that encompasses a bit of my sound on Mini Metro, a bit of the Windfall type sound, and a bit of my indie live string singer songwriter sound.

I'm super proud of it and excited for you to listen :)
