New Song & Video: Beth
🕑 Added 2017-07-14 19:02:22 +0000 UTC Dear friends,It is with utmost joy that I get to introduce you to "Beth," the second original release through you, KG Records.
This song is a very personal, special song to me, though I suppose all my songs are ;) But this one in particular feels especially personal as it is somewhat a letter to someone I hold very dear. It's a song about the walls we knowingly and unknowingly place between ourselves and the world, and what it feels like to be on the other side of those walls, longing for them to come down, longing for that person to know how loved and seen they really are.
The video attempts to capture a bit of this conundrum. It's a one-sided conversation--perhaps one that feels scary to have, or one that simply, for whatever reason, cannot be had at all. It is a singing out into the void. A desperate hoping that your message might drift over the walls and be heard on the other side.
Thank you for being the reason this song gets to see the world. The reason I was able to give it the time and care it needed in the studio to be fully realized. The reason this video gets to exist and help this song find some new homes around the world. Thank you thank you thank you. <3

Lyrics
beth, rest, you are on top of the world
yet, you disagree
and it's too long, longing for something to give
when the taking is free
and it’s not in the way that you said your goodbye
it’s not in the way that you laughed
and it’s not in the way that you started to cry
when you heard that the worst part had passed
it’s the way you keep lifting up,
drifting away from me
i’m broken, i’m broken again
and it’s harder to stand
when i’m holding out,
i’m open, i’m hoping you can
when will you let me in
find me out where the sun falls away
out under the trees
where there’s too much wonder to not feel the same
feel that i could be free
and it’s not in the way that you said your goodbye
it’s not in the way that you laughed
and it’s not in the way that you started to cry
when you heard that the worst part had passed
it’s the way you keep lifting up,
drifting away from me
i’m broken i’m broken again
and it’s harder to stand
when i’m holding out,
i’m open, i’m hoping you can
when will you let me in

What an incredibly moving song. I am so glad to have found your music.
This songs helps me alot because it's kind of similar to my story i wrote to you Kina. Four walls surrounding me and inside those four walls is where i hide from the rest of the world. I have'nt let anyone in for over 15 yrs and i, for some reason actually decided to tell you about it so thank you Kina. It's something i know i will have to struggle and deal with for the rest of my life but never give up.
Your voice is magical... 💗💗💗
