My youngest daughter gets the first word on this song. Much like she gets the first word on many aspects of my life.
I like to think of this less as 'dad rap' and more as 'I’d like to calmly tell you about what’s working to make my life feel better right now' rap. That’s what this shit's always been though. It just becomes a little different when you’re tired of anxiety and anger ruling your life. The older I get, the less I think, the more I feel. That’s real. I never thought I’d ever write anything that wasn’t riddled with angst or nostalgia.
This song is celebrating presence. That’s why we are just dropping it on you like this. No warning, no announcement, no build-up. Just here and now.
Alxndrbrwn laid down one of the smoothest instrumentals I’ve ever heard in my life, and it captured the day that the song was created perfectly. I wrote this on the second play-through of the beat.
I hope it feels as good to you as it does to me. If it doesn’t, meditate on why that is, and then write me a YouTube comment that I’ll never read.
(I will, but I won’t react.)
