Silver

October 20, 2026 · 1 track

Silver is a song written over the course of several years. Anyone who has started to build a life with a lover, but seen that love break apart, has experienced the immense loss and pain of watching that potential future you envisioned in your head & heart completely dissolve. Even though your most true, deepest self may know that the ending was the right thing, there is often a deep, unrelenting yearning for just a little more time inside of that container of love before it evaporates down to truly nothing. Silver, as a color, is always seen and regarded in most cultures as "second to gold"... meaning it's not the best. Not the purest. Not the most sought after. And despite striving to have a heart of gold or be a lover of gold quality, I had to come to terms with the fact that I'm just a man, and despite giving everything and trying my hardest, I am imperfect, I have flaws, I have the capacity to hurt others, and I had to truly accept the fact that I wasn't the gold that someone else needed. I am silver. And yet. There is a beauty in silver, isn't there?
