Into Darkness

“A Little Bit Obsessed” is an infectious pop anthem that grabs your attention from the first energetic “Oh!” The catchy hook echoes throughout the track, drawing you into its irresistible groove. With a soaring melody that begs for a sing-along, the song explores the playful tension between love and obsession. When love feels too mild a word, and obsession too strong, this track perfectly captures that in-between feeling. The bridge elevates the experience, with lush harmonies deepening the contrast between a love that’s cool yet fanatical, innocent yet crazy. It’s a vibrant, feel-good track that’s hard not to fall for.

O Holy Night A CAPELLA

Flawless A CAPELLA

I wrote this song over a year ago (late 2018) as I was sitting in my car, talking to God and looking out the window, unable to shake this crippling anxiety. Out of nowhere, or rather, out of that conversation with Him, these words and melody just came out: "Right now, I know I'm here with You." So this song was born.

Anxiety has marked a good portion of my life. And while Jesus Christ holds my life and my heart, there are moments where recalling what is true and beautiful just doesn't sink in. So, singing what is true works to call my emotions and heart to resonate, to settle, and acts like this lifeline to grab hold of in chaotic waters to pull me back into equilibrium, into belief. And there's this peace from the Spirit of God "greater than all understanding" to guard me in it. That's what this song is for 🖤

This is just a one-take iPhone demo in a room with nice acoustics, for now :)

Lyrics:
Right now, are You here with me?
Because the quiet is deafening so
I'll let music move my heart to sing a song 
Of what is true, I'm never far from You
And what You gave I'll never lose
So I'll believe that You are good
And Your love is stronger still

So will you sing over my heart and hold me now? 
Oh Spirit come and move like only You know how 
Oh will You come and overwhelm me with your peace so profound
Yet somehow it's still the simplest sound

Right now, I know I'm here with you
But I'm anxious and confused so
I'll let music move my heart to sing this song
Of what is true, I'm safe and I'm with You
And what you gave I'll never lose
So I'll remember how You comfort me
And always will

Simplest Sound (Prayer For Anxiety)

Aaron Stewart’s musical journey took an unexpected turn after he earned his music degree, as life led him into software development. For a decade, his piano keys remained neglected, and his voice fell mostly silent, save for the occasional song he couldn’t resist writing. But music never truly left him. The melodies of Christmas eventually pulled him back, leading to a Christmas album that marked his return.

Now, after 14 years, Aaron steps back into the spotlight with Traveling Light, a 12-track album blending new compositions with those written over the last decade. The project captures the essence of his journey, showcasing his over 5-octave vocal range, masterful piano skills, and a love for lush harmonies. Traveling Light is not just a return—it’s a revival, filled with the energy and soul of a man rediscovering his passion.
