that "fed up" stage hits different. where nothing they say or do at that point can change your mind. you gain the strength & fight to want better, to want more. the thought of settling disgusts you & you're ready for the life you deserve. it's really everything
In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests. These references are not only meritless, but dangerous. There is not a single lyric in the song that references race or points to it- and there isn’t a single video clip that isn’t real news footage -and while I can try and respect others to have their own interpretation of a song with music- this one goes too far.
As so many pointed out, I was present at Route 91-where so many lost their lives- and our community recently suffered another heartbreaking tragedy. NO ONE, including me, wants to continue to see senseless headlines or families ripped apart.
Try That In A Small Town, for me, refers to the feeling of a community that I had growing up, where we took care of our neighbors, regardless of differences of background or belief. Because they were our neighbors, and that was above any differences. My political views have never been something I’ve hidden from, and I know that a lot of us in this Country don’t agree on how we get back to a sense of normalcy where we go at least a day without a headline that keeps us up at night. But the desire for it to- that’s what this song is about.
i really dislike when someone expresses to their partner how their partners actions hurt their feelings and that partner takes space from them in a manipulative way as a means to condition them to never stand up for themselves again.
If a person creates space between us, I just let them be..if they never come to me & explain what the issue is, we’ll probably never talk again because I really just let people be. I’m fine with losing anyone who’s ok with losing me. I fought too hard for a lot of relationships.
