This song was written as an exercise in saying the things that I needed to hear. The line “you are not your work or art” came out during a conversation with a friend and I immediately wrote it down, knowing it was special. At this weird time in history, having a song to remind you are that you are more than the sum of your work or production. You are more than what you’ve been prescribed, and you are more than the molecules in your body, feels very important. It feels important to me, and it feels important to say. This song was written pre-covid-19, but it feels as important now, if not more important, than it did when I wrote it last year.
