about

As the title track of this release, I wanted to encompass what these songs mean to me in their purest form. Yes, I do essentially play "Pop" music, but I think the eclectic approach I have while writing makes it so much more than that. Everchanging is the simplest song composition-wise, and I've intended it to be that way just to throw in some variety within these tracks.

I was going through a rough patch in the last year while writing the lyrics. Even though I don't really show it, I've always had to deal with low self-esteem brought upon by consistent self-criticism. Because of that, I find it extremely easy to give up on things I think I can't do (whether it'd be videos, songs, whatever). Everchanging, in its essence, is an apology letter to myself. I'm ready to move on.

lyrics

So I'll pull these arrows from my back
To finally prove that
They're not the only thing that keep my spine in line
And my posture's got so much better since
I finally stopped leaning over to see
If I was gonna fall face-down over my two feet

Oh, how I wish I was like the trees
So when the seasons take the colours from me
I'll brave through all my adversities

I've never been so scared in my life
To lose something
I spent too long to find
I always couldn't keep myself from staying
In one place
Everchanging is what I'll always be

So I'll tell my mother and father
All the secrets that I've hidden from them
And forgive them for all the pressure
They placed on their trophy son
And my confidence is so much better since
I finally stopped only blaming myself
But moving forward is meaningless
If you don't take home the experience

Oh, how I wish I was like the trees
So when my loved ones ever need
Something for support
They could find it in me

I've never been so scared in my life
To lose something
I spent too long to find
I always couldn't keep myself from staying
In one place
Everchanging is what I'll always be
