Epidemic Sound - Part 1

Rise up above. Build on what you know. We're all in this together. Don't let go.

Rise Up

Honky Tonk Redemption - American Country

The title track and thesis statement of the album. If we treated our personal growth like software updates, we would be a lot kinder to the bugs. Version 1.0 of being a human is messy, but at least it compiles. Here is to the crashes, the quiet fixes, and running on beta firmware.

[Verse 1]
Patch Notes for Humans: new update’s live,
Fixed some bugs in my “try-not-to-dissociate” drive.
Reduced overthinking by 15 percent,
Re-balanced the guilt-to-gratitude content.

Improved stability when faced with mild rejection,
Added bonus XP for emotional reflection.
Resolved an issue where I’d spiral for days -
I mean, it’s still there, but it’s better now, okay?

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s not perfect - it's alive,
Every patch takes time to drive.
And yeah, the old features still crash sometimes…
But hey - it compiles. And it’s mine.

[Chorus]
So here’s to the update, the version of me,
Less broken than last year - still kinda glitchy.
Patch Notes for Humans - scroll down and see:
“Status: improving, but progress is messy.”

Oh, I’m running on borrowed hope and coffee -
But release day’s here, and I hit “deploy” softly.
No major overhauls - yet still something’s new:
The system runs smoother when I tell the truth.

[Verse 2]
Updated anxiety’s UI - now with friendlier fonts,
Reworked forgiveness engine - less error response.
New feature: emotional API -
Supports spontaneous joy streams - try it and cry.

Optimized self-worth algorithms at low bandwidth,
Now supports compliments without panic damage.
Buffed my boundaries - but some regressions remain,
Hotfix coming soon… emotional terrain.

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s still buggy - but I’m kind,
Every line of code rewritten by time.
And though the old wisdom still hasn’t synced…

The changelog?
Fuckin' distinct.

[Chorus]
So here’s to the update, the version of me,
Less broken than last year - still kinda glitchy.
Patch Notes for Humans - scroll down and see:
“Status: evolving - imperfect and free!”

No crash reports today - I’m still on my way,
Running beta firmware, but it’s stable-ish, hey…
All I need is a little acceptance space -
And maybe a reboot with grace.

[Bridge]
They never taught us how to redesign ourselves -
We just debug emotion by feel, no help.
But every update you push through pain and doubt
Becomes a lighthouse for someone else’s route.

[Final Chorus]
So here’s to the update - version now released,
Patch Notes for Humans - we’re wobbling toward peace.
Running slow, but still learning - that’s how systems grow -
Every line of code you change becomes a better tomorrow.

Here’s to the progress in-between fits,
Here’s to the crashes, the quiet fixes.
You’re not a broken build, you’re becoming true -
And damn - that’s a beautiful version of you.

[Outro (repeated)]
Debug complete.
Ready for life.
