We Could

Now on monday 29th of July I'm releasing my first album "Songs of Longing" on Bandcamp and streaming platforms! If you've listened to my music here, you've heard the songs already but in this album there are also a few new versions and some attempts at mastering done for a smoother whole. I want to share a few free download codes here, as I really appreciate this community and would no doubt have taken much longer to get these songs out without taking part in weeklyBeats. Let me know in the comments which code you used if you choose to download an album.

And here is some info about the song I'm uploading to weeklyBeats this week:
We Could is a song that started out as a way to process experiences in a relationship, but somehow ended in a vaster place. This song took over two years to finish, as somehow, I had to grow with it. It started out as me trying to express my bitterness/frustration and my fears, as in the part "we could end it all without a fight...". And the final part was only written later, when I was in a state of observing the behavior described in the song from a different vantage point, as I have finally become (somewhat) aware of how my own fight-or-flight reactions and fear can be coloring my perception of events.
Lyrics:
You didn't want to scare me away
So instead you led me on
I didn't want it all to fade away
So I sent you songs every single day
(Well, almost every day)
We could end it all without a fight
I could leave at first light
We could become tenderly estranged
Or I could go into a rage
Your sorry eyes are a pitiful sight
Damn, how much I hate to be right
No wait, that's a lie
Why do I always think I'm right?
I wanted you to lead me on
I really tried to get along
It's not easy to find a place to belong
and it makes me wanna hold on
We could end it all in a big fight
You could leave at first light
We could become coldly estranged, and
I could go into a rage,
A rage
The road is so long
It goes on and on and on and on and on
Thought I recognized this stretch
Instead I lose my mind and retch
The road is so long
Let me sing you another
song
So long, so long
Long gone
Am I too far gone?
I don't know what's real anymore
There's no more reasons to fight
We're only trying to live our lives
Trying to survive
To survive
To survive
Wake up, be alive
We could just
Wake up and be alive
Instead of only trying to survive
Wake up, be alive
Wake up, be a light
