Dear friends,

It is with utmost joy that I get to introduce you to "Beth," the second original release through you, KG Records.

This song is a very personal, special song to me, though I suppose all my songs are ;) But this one in particular feels especially personal as it is somewhat a letter to someone I hold very dear. It's a song about the walls we knowingly and unknowingly place between ourselves and the world, and what it feels like to be on the other side of those walls, longing for them to come down, longing for that person to know how loved and seen they really are.

The video attempts to capture a bit of this conundrum. It's a one-sided conversation--perhaps one that feels scary to have, or one that simply, for whatever reason, cannot be had at all. It is a singing out into the void. A desperate hoping that your message might drift over the walls and be heard on the other side.

Thank you for being the reason this song gets to see the world. The reason I was able to give it the time and care it needed in the studio to be fully realized. The reason this video gets to exist and help this song find some new homes around the world. Thank you thank you thank you. <3

Lyrics

beth, rest, you are on top of the world

yet, you disagree

and it's too long, longing for something to give

when the taking is free

and it’s not in the way that you said your goodbye

it’s not in the way that you laughed

and it’s not in the way that you started to cry

when you heard that the worst part had passed

it’s the way you keep lifting up,

drifting away from me

i’m broken, i’m broken again

and it’s harder to stand

when i’m holding out,

i’m open, i’m hoping you can

when will you let me in

find me out where the sun falls away

out under the trees

where there’s too much wonder to not feel the same

feel that i could be free

and it’s not in the way that you said your goodbye

it’s not in the way that you laughed

and it’s not in the way that you started to cry

when you heard that the worst part had passed

it’s the way you keep lifting up,

drifting away from me

i’m broken i’m broken again

and it’s harder to stand

when i’m holding out,

i’m open, i’m hoping you can

when will you let me in
