We’re figuring it out, one day at a time. Sometimes life can go by so fast, one can forget to savor the moment.
These songs keep us present and feeling alive. Our new album, Growing Pains, talks about the highs and lows of life and the emotions that come along with balancing your career and mental health. This collection of songs is what we’re currently listening to as it’s all happening. – Trousdale
“There’s A Rhythm” – Bon Iver
“Can I really still complain” just hits me so hard. The chord progression, the tempo, the production– everything about this song gets me into a meditative zone of presence and reflection. – Georgia Greene
“Sapling” – Foy Vance
“I wished I could go back in time, but all I could do was apologize. Right then, your eyes were healing…” I mean come on. – GG
“Molly I’m Coming Around” – Annika Bennett
This song just feels like a warm blanket of truth – being honest with yourself and others. – GG
“Don’t Stop” – Fleetwood Mac
This one was definitely a sonic inspiration for the album. It has such a positive vibe and message and helps remind us that there’s always another day to try again. – GG, Quinn D’Andrea, Lauren Jones
“Green Light” – Darlingside
This song just feels like a meditation, the chord progression feels like it’s existed forever, and the lyrics feel like they could be spoken as a prayer. Could listen to this song on loop forever. – QD
“Let’s Be Still” – The Head And The Heart
I need a constant reminder to move slower. This song is perfect for that. – LJ
“My Love For You Is A Straight Line” – Ken Yates
This song feels like coming home to myself. – LJ
“Never Been Better” – Ben Abraham
Coming from an artist who also understands the grind of this life we’ve chosen, I feel like Ben puts this feeling perfectly. Sometimes when we’re overwhelmed it’s just helpful to hear that exact feeling validated and put into words. – QD
“Look Up” – Joy Oladokun
I love this song when I need a reminder to zoom out. We can get so caught up in the everyday stress, and the words of this song coupled with the arrangement is the perfect opportunity to remember that this life is so much more than that. – QD
“You Make Me Feel Like Dancing” – Leo Sayer
Listen to this song for an immediate dose of serotonin. – LJ
