about

My Mind is a song about dark moments where restlessness, anxiety, and worry take over. I wrote the song at home on acoustic guitar and the first lyrical section came to me within a matter of minutes. The guitar, however, was as dreadful as the first sentence in this paragraph, so I let the song sit while I focused on other projects.

Months later, I had come up with a more upbeat acoustic guitar and felt it was time to produce the song. I met with Eric Leavell (close friend and collaborator) at the studio and I told him I wanted this song to move from this negative, ruminating mental space to a more open and hopeful place. We had been working recently on creating distinct sonic and thematic worlds for Dame Todo, so we followed our intuition once more.

The idea behind this songwriting approach is to take someone on a journey from darkness to hope. To responsibly and honestly tell a story about a dark moment while also showing the path and place where I find myself after relying on the light I have within. A light we all have. It’s easy to be bogged down by the rough moments in life, but music continues to help me through them, and hopefully help others as well.

lyrics

Lyrics

My mind is my worst enemy
It keeps playing games with me

I'd like to be in control
but that obsession must not go on

So paralyzed
So harsh

So much I could say
So much I could do
but I'm so done with you
So done with you

Taking space from my mind
and I know that this time
I'm taking space from my mind

We will see this through
We're brave
It's just a phase
Even when our thoughts race
It's just a phase
I know that
It's just a phase
