It’s been a whole month since I Live in Patterns was released into the wild, so what a better day to finish our deep dive with It’s Alright (a rare win from my ADHD ass being physically unable to post every day for 10 days straight)
In similar fashion to Patience, It’s Alright was created with Jt Daly in Nashville. The song is about faith and loss and grief and growth and learning that sometime letting go can make you feel better than you thought it would. Maybe you can create new roads to fulfillment instead of sticking to the only one you know.
I had already written everything up until after the second chorus. I was so confused on where to go with it, and then JT came up with this gorgeous emotional outro instrumental that immediately felt right. The only thing I could think of in that moment was “if you live in the progress, I’ll try to love the process.” I’m not sure who the “you” is in these lines. A higher power, the best version of myself, the community that brings love back into your life? It could be any of those options, depending on the day.
Thank you for listening to this album for the last month. I am endlessly grateful that my art can land in the hands of people who understand it.
