about

“Stay Here” was written one early morning after the 2017 bombing in Manchester following a concert by American singer Ariana Grande. Similar to the times we are currently navigating I had this sense of being paralyzed, and at that moment everything was just frozen in time. It became very personal for me and hard to wrap my head around. I drew inward literally pulling towards me the things I hold dear, begging them to stay, and then spilling them onto the page. For the production we wanted things to be stripped back so that the raw honesty of the moment remained present – floating in the air like that morning when I woke up.

lyrics

I’m so tired of crying, tired of the blues
Sick and goddamn tired of all this news
Ain’t that the state of the world today

I’m feeling under the weather, hiding under the covers
Trying to put one foot in front of the other
With my head in my hands and this world I can’t change

Stay…. Here
Stay…. Here

It looks small, it feels small, this life we’re living
It’s hard to imagine my brothers children
Growing up in a world to see nothing but hate

If we choose to stand, if we choose the light
If we choose our hearts instead of our minds
Do we choose to stay

Stay… Here
Stay… Here

Stay… Here
Stay… Here

If we choose to stand, if we choose to fight
If we choose our hearts instead of our minds
Do we choose to stay

Stay… Here
Stay… Here

It looks small, it feels small, this life we’re living
Ain’t it hard to imagine your children’s children
