Emerald Castle

I love using themed metaphors in my songs, and this one is no different. Through the world of the Wizard of Oz, my song goes through the feelings of giving someone so many chances, but they never change. It’s about realizing that change is a lost cause though part of you doesn’t want to accept it.

I was dealing with depression and making music and listening to music was one of the things I could hold on to, to keep me going.
