Tangerine

“Tangerine” is a song I wrote about my close friend. I could tell that she was struggling so much with mental health, but she wouldn't tell me, or anybody. This inspired me to write a song directly addressed to her. After writing the lyrics, I record the guitar and vocals. Then I produced the rest of the song on my laptop. I challenged myself not to overcomplicate this song with production so the lyrics could be front and center, while still building an interesting soundscape. I hope to release this song, and I would love for it to reach somebody who feels like no one can see their struggle. To give them a little hope that somebody does see them; somebody cares.

Creativity is bringing something that didn't exist before into the world. It's the way I know to understand my experience as a human being.
