Album: Rivers & Roads
Release Date: June 5, 2023
In Their Words: “This song is truly about the struggles of being young. When I think back to being a teenager or in my early 20s, it’s clear to me how difficult and confusing it was. Technically, at that age we are adults, but we don’t yet know who we are. So there is bittersweet nature to this lyric. The amount of times I cried and felt defeated – I lost count. I played so many gigs each week and would busk til my fingers were raw to pay rent. I would never want to live through that again. But right now, I can look back at my youth and remember how beautiful it all was. Mess and all. When you are young, you don’t yet see what can go wrong, so you are always wearing rose-colored glasses. You just don’t realize it ’til you’re older. To capture the sound of this story, I worked with Producer Howard Willing on the whole Rivers & Roads EP.” – Katie Cole
