about

I was writing a potential tv placement last December and my plan was to watch an episode or two of the show on Netflix to understand the characters, but I actually ended up watching the entire show in one weekend. It was winter in Nebraska though so I can’t really be blamed.

“Song for Mel” is from the perspective of a character whose life has not gone the way she expected. Not only does she have to plan a new life, but learn how to be present in her existing one. Since this happens to be the unexpected theme of 2020 for myself and many others, I figured I would release this timely song now. Hopefully, it can be an encouragement in these tough times. Thanks for listening :)

lyrics

All the little ways that you’re stuck inside my mind
Thinking of your smile and dreaming of your eyes
I bargained with time and begged God for more
One last final thought before I finally close the door

Oh I know that we built a home
Oh I never thought I'd be alone
I still feel your love
But I need to live right now

Moved to the mountains to try and catch my breath
Starting something new is better than living at the end
And every day begins with the promise of sunrise
I try to clear my mind as I put that pain aside

Oh I know that we built a home
Oh I never thought I'd be alone
I still feel your love
I still feel your love
But I need to live right now
