Unfinished Song-in-Progress: Quiet Heartbreak - Chorus (Patreon)

This should be done by now, but...I have been in pain and not writing 🤦‍♀️

Anyway, here is your sneak peak! I decided to share this part for now because it's the only part I recorded that stayed the same moving forward 😂

This is the counterpart to Petty Drama. The original emotional overwhelm from that experience. And this chorus was written to embody the surrealism of the situation for me. It all happened so suddenly and so quickly, and I was left confused and heartbroken. I could hardly breathe because it was such an upsetting situation and because I really didn't understand what or how it happened.

The original lyrics for this song were written while I was actively crying and hyperventilating in just a safe /isolated spot outside. Trying desperately to console myself. Trying desperately to understand. And wanting desperately to fix things somehow.

I think because that confusion permeated so strongly through everything I felt in those moments and the days following, it was important to me to capture that in the song.

Have you ever been going through something and it just feels like...this is so surreal it should be/must be a movie moment. And the weather should change and contribute to telling the audience how to feel about what has just happened. Because a part of you feels like you're in the audience as well. Just watching it all unfold. Because it just cannot be real...Like it just feels wrong that you can be experiencing that, but it's a beautiful day outside? How is that possible?

I know it seems silly 😅 How dare the weather be incongruous with how I personally am feeling in this moment? But that's really how I felt at the time.

It felt like it should be raining. It felt like the weather should adjust to my current emotional state because there was no way it could possibly be real. This was a drama. This was a pivotal moment in a movie. This was not real life. It couldn't be.

So I put it in a song 💁‍♀️
