Tell Me

I came up with the concept for my song “Tell Me” in a time of confusion. The song, literally, is about a boyfriend I had at the time; however, I based the song secretly about the barriers of queer relationships. The entire basis of “Tell Me” revolves around miscommunication and the themes of “waiting, watching, hoping,” etc.

As queer love is a newly accepted thing, there’s a lot less guidance about it, especially for queer teenagers, sometimes causing relationships to not even happen, and to leave people “waiting, watching, hoping.”

“Tell Me” is confrontational, sitting someone down, and really just asking, “are we doing this or not?” despite the judgment, backlash, and struggles they might face.

Fun fact: I wrote this song while visiting family in Spain, so I chose a Spanish house for the cover art that features my favorite color — dark red.

Yesterday’s News

I wrote this song in response to how society neglects the impact of gun violence on children. It’s called “Yesterday News.”

Yesterday’s News lyrics

Sun-bleached American flags half-mast
It's hard to miss when you drive past
Pictures, frames, and candles
Littered with stuffed animals

You can still find glass
Running in the grass
And you think of every excuse
Who has to pay, who has to lose

As the halls reverberated shouts
And black leather shoes
Knowing they're gonna be yesterday’s news

Everyone deserves to die with soft eyes
Not being surprised or terrified
Everyone deserves to die with used lives
With chipped teeth, scars, and children at their side

Not new and unbroken
With parents to hold them
Afraid that one move might show them

And the news will cover, the people will weep
Oh, what a great tragedy
And the world will move on to the next thing...

Corner Store

I wrote this song about the uncertainty of current events, inspired by Bob Dylan’s “WWIII Blues.”

Corner Store lyrics

I’ll eat till I’m fed to the earth
Unless it’s eaten first
If so, I’ll lock up with my dog
While dirt swallows atom bombs

I will walk to the corner store
The woman at the front will work for sure
Even if the world is ending
You gotta make those ends meet

Don’t know if I’ll get my degree
Or be drafted into WWIII
Will I move into the city,
Or march through its ruins in the army?

Will I make memories that last,
Or the last thing I’ll see will be a rifle blast?

Guess I don’t have that much control
I hope you think it’s worth it, though.

Corner Store, 2025.
