New Song: Too Much (Original Demo)

oh boy am i filled with nerves right now! AH.

ok. so this is the second time i'll be sharing a demo of an unreleased song with you all. the first time was back in november when i shared "enough" (if you missed it, you can listen here). is it weird that that song was called "enough" and this one is called "too much"? yes. yes it is. but what can you do, huh? 

it feels no less incredibly nerve-wracking the second time doing this, but i suppose that's a feeling that will never go away. still i want to push through this, because i really love the idea of letting you all in on my process a little more. especially as i may not be releasing new songs publicly for a while, it feels right that you all get to hear some of them along the way since you're the ones making all this possible. 

anyway, like i tend to do for new songs, i'm going to let you make what you will of it and not share too much at this point. what i will say is it was an incredibly therapeutic and necessary writing session for me. i wrote it about a month ago. typically my first recordings of new songs are into my iphone, but this one i happened to write straight into my recording software--hence all the crazy reverb. i'd been playing and singing with headphones on and the reverb set the tone and allowed me let go a little. the song came out in about 30 minutes. i'm still not sure what to make of it, but it really helped me process a lot of emotions i'd been sitting with, and in that way it kind of feels like a win regardless of whatever happens to the song. mental health ftw :)

anyway, with no further ado, "too much".

so grateful to have you all in this family. thanks for going on this ride with me and allowing me to keep doing what i love <3

too much (lyrics)

am i too much for you to take
am i too much for you to break
i am already underway
am i too much to give away

if you unravel me maybe there’s more to see

am i too much for you to take
am i too much for you 
are there too many little things
that get in the way for you

if i lose another rope, maybe i’ll let it go

and if you like you get my heart again, heart again
and if you like you get my heart again, heart again

was it too much for me to say
am i too much for you to take
does it make you want to get away
find somewhere quiet you can stay

i never know where you go when you let me go

photographs playing out, empty your head
i can be open, i’m trying again

am i too much for you to take
am i too much for you 
are there too many little things
the get in the way for you

if i lose another rope, maybe i’ll let it go
