This song was born during one of the hardest periods of my life—two years of job rejections, self-doubt, and constant comparison. Every day felt like a mountain I couldn’t climb, and my self-worth hit rock bottom. In the middle of that darkness, I began asking deeper questions—why am I doing any of this? Who am I doing it for? And through that came this song—a spiritual turning point and a reminder that while external validation may fade, grace, purpose, and something greater always remain. I wrote and sang this at the piano, then brought it to Eddie for production. We leaned into the emotional weight of the track, blending dreamy synths with tabla samples and Indian classical-inspired vocal ad libs. It’s a soundscape rooted in heritage but floating in space—dream pop at its core, with indie and electronic layers. It’s about rebuilding yourself in the silence, in the waiting, and finding meaning beyond the noise.
