'i'm scared' OUT on SUNDAY

To celebrate the one-year anniversary of my first album, I will release my first Live Session on YouTube exactly one year later: on the 7th of April, 2024.

The song was written out of my fear for what was coming in this new chapter of my life; I had just finished my last harmony exam in my local music academy and told my teacher about the Conservatory plans for the upcoming year. He told me to be the waves, rather than the rock. That day we also started writing the song together.

Funnily enough, this live version was recorded exactly there: at the Conservatory of Maastricht, my current music education school, the emblem of this new chapter. Life can be surprising in that sense. :') 

Click here, première at 6 PM! Be there :)

Lyrics:

I’m scared
Life is flipping the pages
Into new places
Where I’m lost beneath the narrator

I’m scared
Hope this falling wisdom
Will suddenly catch bottom
Of my fears

I’m scared
I’m scared

Then you told me
Better be the waves than the rock
Everything shall pass
And so shall it come

Oh, you told me
Better be the waves than the rock
Everything shall pass
And so will I flow

You said, it’s okay to hurt
We all do and that’s fine
But the density of life
Tends to scare me out of mind

What if I lose control
And I’m back at where I was
Shattered, bleary glass
Sounds of trains and six feet bridges
Don’t want to fall off my track
Once again

I’m scared
I’m scared

But you told me
Better be the waves than the rock
Everything shall pass
And so shall it come

Oh, you told me
Better be the waves than the rock
Everything shall pass
And so will I flow

The world tends to surprise people
Who’d have thought I’d find myself
Crying, goodbying you farewell

I’m scared
I’m scared

But I’ll try to be the waves, rather than the rock
Everything shall pass
And so shall it come

Oh, I tell me
Better be the waves than the rock
Everything shall pass
And so will I flow
