Liner Notes

I wrote this song as a conversation with myself — a way of exploring how much I want to understand the world, other people, and even parts of my own mind that still feel out of reach. When I talk about wanting to see what someone else sees, I’m really expressing my frustration with the limits of my own perspective and my desire to grow beyond it.

The moments about life feeling “over” come from times when I’ve felt worn down or stuck, when it seemed easier to give up than to keep pushing forward. Through the lyrics, I’m reminding myself that those feelings pass, and that I have the power to make my life feel stronger and fuller again by choosing courage instead of retreat.

I also wrote the song to challenge myself to be honest, to take emotional risks, and to stop hiding from hard truths. Becoming “bolder” is my way of describing personal growth — learning to stand on my own, trust myself, and move forward even when it’s uncomfortable.

Overall, the song is my own reflection on resilience, self-awareness, and the belief that facing life openly is what allows everything painful to eventually fade away.

Lyrics

I think, I feel I want to know the things you see I see, I feel about the things I'll never see

When you feel your life is over And no one can make you stay I will make your life feel bolder And it all will fade away

Now I think I feel, I want to know the things you see I see, I feel about the things I'll never see

When you feel your life is over And no one can make you stay I will make your life feel bolder And it all will fade away

When you feel your life is over And no one can make you stay I will make your life seem older And it all will fade away

Ask me I will tell I will hide nothing from you Be brave and make a stand it's the least that you can do

Oh you can be bolder The risks are overdone And when you feel you're bolder You will be the only one (You will be the only one) You will be the only one (You will be the only one)

When you feel your life is over And no one can make you stay I will make your life seem older And it all will fade away

Now I think I feel I want to know the things you see I see,I feel about the things I'll ever see

Production is fantastic and so are your vocals. This would be a #1 hit in the 80's when I grew up. Nice instrumental parts and great dynamics. Well done! 🙏

This conversation with yourself feel so familiar. Thank you for bravely writing these lyrics. I really enjoyed the production as well. Your vocals are spot on and I especially loved the piano line.

Very kind of you to say so

the insistence of your music tells us that you have something to say and we had better pay attention. although you are writing about specifics, i feel your words are universal and many different people will relate to them in their own ways. production is excellent, as high standards have come to be expected in your work, which is top shelf pop rock.
