I wrote “Somewhere to Drive” in the quiet hours of the road, when the loneliness creeps in but the wheels keep turning anyway. It’s about chasing music through empty miles, holding onto the small comfort of motion when everything else feels uncertain. The song reminds me that even on the hardest nights, having a direction—and someone waiting at the end of it—can make this wandering life feel worth it.

“Sail Into the Dark” is a quiet promise to stay when someone I love is lost and hurting. It’s about knowing I can’t steer their ship for them, but choosing to stand beside them anyway, offering my hand when the water gets too high. The song holds my hope that presence, even without the right words, can be enough to keep someone from disappearing into the dark.

I wrote “Secondhand Memories” because I’m trying to understand where I come from by reaching into stories that were never fully mine. I’m asking for the colors, the fear, the beauty, and the loss so I can make sense of the ache that I feel for life. These borrowed memories become something I can hold, something to grieve, and something to believe as I piece together the outlines of myself and what my story holds beyond my own personal experiences.
