Lyrics

Written & Recorded 2/7/2026 (My sincerest apologies to native french speakers, I decided plug the chorus into translate and don't even speak french, it just felt right 😂 )

Calm down lover Calm down storm Sky above us Give us warn I’m on fire Snuff me out

Respire (breathe) Regarde autour de toi (look around) Tout est absurd (it’s all absurd)

Climb a mountain Dive below Bathe in hot springs Watch the snow I’m dissolving Into dust

Respire (breathe) Regarde autour de toi (look around) Tout est absurd (it’s all absurd)

Love it, very reflective, I’m not a French speaker so I don’t know but even attempting to put another language into a song is amazing, music IS the universal language

I know who to listen to when I need a morning cup of coffee, in sonic form. Your work is so quiet and contemplative, like you're getting some good, deep thoughts in before you exit out into the chaos of the world. Lovely chorus.

Thank you again!! :) I missed this morning, so i need to get back to the early AM writing - definitely have been getting some great stuff out with minimal inhibition. Thanks for listening.

Love the guitar melody in the fingerpicking, and how your vocal compliments the melodic motif. Beautiful contrast in translating the realization that it's all absurd. Well done!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Mmm...that guitar is so sweet and gentle, as is your vocal. I like the rhythmic shift at the chorus. Lovely song...and it's interesting to meditate on how it ends...I guess it's sort of existential, a reflection on the world we're thrown into
