"Breakdown" is an exploration of our lowest moments, the times we're broken, exhausted, completely tapped out and we just need a lifeline. Co-written with Tiffany Kintzer, the song was born from a conversation exploring moments we each felt like we'd reached rock bottom, and how hard it can be to admit that we just need someone to hold us upright...but how important that can be as part of the process of finding a way through the darkness.

"Breakdown" morphed into a thing of delicate, vulnerable beauty - the ability to be vulnerable and so raw can be a strength, and that strength and hope shines through as the song progresses, even as it stays open ended like a question.

"Invisible Ink" leans into the worst parts of love: betrayal, indifference, imbalance, loss and heartbreak. Somehow, there is as much beauty in all these things as there can be pain, and this song, created by (at the time) three strangers in a virtual room shines the light on that beauty.

Although my collaborators and I had only just met when we wrote "Invisible Ink" we somehow found a place of extreme vulnerability to dig into that day. It was a magical experience in many ways and, although we loved the first version I produced of the song, we felt there were more layers to be uncovered there. After all, there are many ways to experience, express or process any sequence of emotions, so we felt it would be interesting to explore that musically, which led us to creating the three versions you can hear on this mini EP.

I personally love pondering the unknown...and we humans know much less about our universe than we'd like to think we do - there's so much mystery out there, including us, our purpose, our rippling impact on everything we touch.

Consider that, from a certain perspective, we're just like molecules, bouncing off each other, directed by momentum, chance, perhaps fate? We impact everything and everyone we encounter and sometimes, just sometimes, we stick and form a lasting bond...a true connection.

We are separate, but we are one, weaving a web of connective fabric throughout our universe and our lives...just like the celestial beings that make up our vast universe.

What's your perspective?
