The last song on my EP was, funnily enough, the last song I wrote for it.

It was a song written about heartbreak, but not the heartbreak that was reflected across the rest of the EP. It’s a heartbreak that came after the first one, the one that comes after putting yourself back together, feeling okay again.

Again, funnily enough, it’s a love song.

Sometimes, you can watch something leave, watch the life you had seen playing out with someone wash away, and understand that it’s okay. You can understand that it can go, and it can be sad, but it can also be okay. Sometimes, endings don’t hurt. They are what they are, and we learn, and live, and grow.

This was someone who, like me, considered Montauk one of their favorite places on the planet. Even after things ended, I had this song in my heart, a simple plea to settle by the seaside, and I just had to get it out.

So, here it is.

It’s a simple, quiet, and intimate way to end the EP, almost a settling sort of song after the relative noise and ebbs and flows of the story that came before it. It’s been especially rewarding to play live—watching people slow dance to this one always makes me a little emotional. It’s always a little awe-inspiring to me how music can start as something so deeply personal and then grow and stretch to mean something much more, to take on the shape of what everyone else hears in it.
