OVERVIEW

When Everything Slowed Down


This was written at a point when the world had narrowed to rooms and screens. Loss felt closer, less abstract. I was thinking about the weight of missing someone and the awkwardness of continuing anyway. Grief doesn’t ask permission. It arrives and rearranges the furniture. But life keeps offering small moments of color. The song sits in that tension — between deep sorrow and the stubborn fact that beauty doesn’t stop.

LYRICS

It was 12:03 when the nurse wrote back to me

She said late last night your mother passed away

I thought of her alone and scared in bed

With no one to hold her hand

As she drowned on dry land

I started to lose weight, cause the meals I learned to make

Were recipes that she passed down to me

Silence fills the rooms where I was raised

I had much more to say

But now it’s too late

Because she’s Gone

Oh she’s gone

Where’d my love go

Vanished in the wind

Oh she’s Gone

And she’s gone

Where’d my love go

Vanished in the wind

To home where she belongs

Gone

And she’s gone

Where’d my love go

Vanished in the wind

Gone

And she’s gone

Gone

And she’s gone

Where’d my love go

Vanished in the wind

Gone

And she’s gone

Where’d my love go

Vanished in the wind

To home where she belongs
