The instrumental is mostly influenced by like folk pop, Sailor Song in particular with the high droning oceanic synth in the background :D i hope this affects you deeply, and makes you sad in a good way <3 ♡ ABOUT THE EP ♡ Rewrite The Narrative is a concept EP, where I have flipped through the hundreds of songs I'd written from the summer of 2022-november of 2024, and chose the strongest ones to tell my story and reclaim the fleeting control over my life that I felt then. Documenting heartbreak, life with chronic illness, queer struggles and jealousy. This completely self written EP is an exorcism of a past self, shedding my skin, and growing into my confidence in my identity. ♡ ABOUT THE COVER ♡ The song ripped up and used in this cover was called "milky way" and it is not on the EP, but I tried to make shoulder pads with paper and duct tape along with putting some on my face to represent the black paint athletes use under their eyes to help with the sun. Despite me being, well... me XD, I played (american) football for 2 years and do really like the sport! I was a wide receiver if anyone was wondering. Also, I'm wearing a baseball cap in this cover but its mostly cut out of frame! ♡ MUSICIANS INFO ♡ Key: G# / Ab Major BPM: 85 Length: 4 minutes 26 seconds ♡ Final Notes ♡ THIS SONG IS ACTUALLY SO SAD BUT ITS NOT EVEN THE SADDEST ON THE RECORD SO STAY TUNED FOR MORE DEPRESSION :D WATERFALL U TOTALLY CLOCKED THIS TITLE and galaxy I ur my opp btw (jk) ♡ CREDITS ♡ Written by: Hart Produced by: Hart Cover Shot and Edited by: Hart Vocals by: Hart Guitar by: Hart DAW: st (Instrumental), bl (Vocals) Cover Edited In: can()va
