I didn't know the song had a story. I thought it was authored by Leeland. When I happened to come across it, this song sounded like my own words coming out from my own heart. It felt like my own language but I never knew it myself before I heard it.
That resonance is incredibly precious, and that is exactly the magic of music—it can articulate feelings deep within us that we hadn’t even fully recognized ourselves. Leeland’s performance carries a very sincere and intimate quality, so it is no surprise that it felt like my own heart speaking.
Finding my own language through music is a profound form of comfort.
The structure of these lyrics is like a personal confession and affirmation. In the toughest moments of life, when words fail us, repeating these simple yet powerful phrases feels like having a conversation with the deepest desires of my own heart.
