In the midst of the darkness, I felt it was important to write a song with lyrics that could feel hopeful. I generally believe the universe is indifferent but at a time like this sometimes believing that things happen for a reason can be motivating. The lyrics in the chorus are supposed to be a mantra to sing during difficult times. Driving up the coast vibes.
