old stories 01:51
Have you tried a little time away From the story that you knew It’s all familiar in a way And I know it’s a hard thing to do But if you take some time away From the story that you knew I think we could write some things Much more suitable for you

Walk around Settle like pollen Looking for a Wave that you can fall in Try it out Give it your best shot I know it feels slow to start But you are making movement Believe it Until you feel it Growing outwards from the inside of your bones Walk around Center your wanting Listen for a Need that you can call in Feel it out Meet it with patience I know it feels hard to start To move out of complacence Believe it Until you feel it Growing outwards from the inside of your bones

team effort 01:39
You left it outside Or it fell on the floor And it looked like a match In a boxwood I heard it outside And I wanted to call But I didn’t know how to You are feeling upside down But it’s clear that it’s all on the right side now You are all upside down But it’s clear that we’re seeing the upside now

hear me out you don't have to distance quite so far i am not a stranger i could be steady once you give me what i need separate from the part of you you thought you couldn't let me speak we both know i'm just a piece of you you're not alone here i could be steady once you open up to me separate from the part of you you thought you couldn't

Caught up, Wasted, out You know I’m not going down With this You know it’s alright And it will heal in time It’s always This one Point of view Caught bad up Inside of you Introducing something new I’ll peel it out Then move on in Ohh with you Drawn out Passing time I left Something on the line With this Younger heart of mine As if by some design To only Feel the things I knew Caught bad up Inside of you I’m Introducing something new I’ll peel it out Then move on in Ohh with you Slide over I’m little bit older And you Have worried long enough

Looked for answer All on the outside Searching to feel like I knew what was right Not in a place to make a mistake I couldn’t bear But I couldn’t have imagined What it’d feel like to get there When I finally fall down And let it be me When I finally fall down And let it be me Prone to avoiding Guess at a forecast Bury an instinct Let it just pass Not in a place to make a mistake I couldn’t bear But I couldn’t have imagined What it’d feel like to get there When I finally fall down And let it be me When I finally fall down And let it be me

about

I wrote and recorded this EP over the month of February 2025 as part of the RPM challenge.

An anodyne (noun) is something that soothes, calms, or comforts. My aim for this project was to illustrate a healing journey. Less about feeling better from some acute situation, but more largely about the dialog that takes place within yourself while teasing out themes and habits that might be holding you back. I was really inspired by the idea of getting to talk face to face with my younger self, so the whole EP sort of grew out of that seed.
