Thank You

[Verse 1]
The last couple of years have been hard on me
But I’ve been hard on people too
I’ve suffered setbacks that changed the course
Of the narrative I once knew

The setting and the characters 
Have changed—nothing’s the same
And I’m the only character 
That’s here that I can blame

[Pre-Chorus]
New stories can be told
New stories never grow old

[Chorus]
Tell me again that it can be done
No the clock hasn’t run out on me
Say you believe it and I will too
Cuz I believe 
I believe in new stories

[Verse 2]
I can’t see past the mountain tops
Or know where my road goes
And I must take the good with the bad
Cuz that’s the road I chose

Comedy or tragedy 
Both will play their part
And when the disappointment comes
I’ll believe with all my heart

[Pre-Chorus]
New stories can be told
New stories never grow old
 
[Chorus]
Tell me again that it can be done
No the clock hasn’t run out on me
Say you believe it and I will too
Cuz I believe, I believe—in new stories

[Pre-Chorus Outro]
New stories
Can be told
New stories
Never grow old
New stories 
I believe in
New stories

“Different on Purpose” is a gentle yet powerful folk-worship anthem about finding peace in who God made you to be. It’s a song for anyone who’s felt out of place — chasing approval, losing themselves in expectation, only to be found again by grace. With its earthy acoustic tones, ambient textures, and heartfelt honesty, it celebrates the beauty of living authentically, resting in God’s design rather than the world’s demands. It’s not rebellion — it’s redemption. A quiet declaration that you’re set apart on purpose.

I tried to fit where I didn’t belong
Wore a smile, but I felt so wrong
Ran through the years chasing approval
Lost myself in what looked useful

I hit the bottom more than once
Tried to fix what time had done
But You met me where I lost my way
And turned the night into a brighter day

I’m different on purpose
Set apart by grace
Don’t need the same rhythm
To run this race
You found me wandering
And called me Yours
I’m learning to rest
In a life that’s raw

I burned out on the noise and show
Religion took more than it ever sowed
But You came whispering peace again
You found me hiding deep within

Now mornings start with bread and wine
Your Word and pen and quiet time
I walk these streets with love to give
And call it purpose — because it is

I’m different on purpose
Set apart by grace
Don’t need the same rhythm
To run this race
You found me wandering
And called me Yours
I’m learning to rest
In a life that’s raw

I don’t need a title
I don’t need applause
The smallest kindness
Can shake the walls
A gentle word, a quiet grace, a song
This is the kingdom
Where I belong

I’m different on purpose
And that’s okay
You’re writing my story
In Your own way
You found me wandering
And called me Yours
Now I’m finally home
Where my heart feels more

Different on purpose
And perfectly Yours

Different on Purpose

“…Hey, is this really a test?”

Sumire traced her finger along the page of her notebook, her voice barely above a whisper.

“Yeah. But even if it’s a ‘test,’ it’s one meant to tell someone something.”

The reply came from Kei, sitting beside her—his voice a little too loud, his laugh a little too easy, but somehow always reassuring.

Today was a pair test at Kyōiku Middle School.
The assignment was simple:

“Talk with your partner and create your first social media post introducing the school or the pair test. Format is up to you.”

Sumire didn’t like being told she was “free.”
Whenever someone said, “You can write anything,”
she found herself unable to write anything at all.

Noticing her hesitation, Kei quietly slid a note between their desks.

“Then I’ll ask the questions. You answer.”

Sumire gave a small nod.

—

“What’s your favorite thing about this school?”

“…That there’s never just one right answer.”

“Then what does the pair test mean to you?”

“…It’s something where—even if I stay quiet—my partner still waits for me.”

“That’s… really beautiful.”

—

Kei began to write their post, just like that:

“At this school, even the quietest students have words inside them.
And finding those words with the person beside you—that’s our kind of test.”

They added a photo of the stationery spread across their desks.
Sumire’s fingertips were just barely visible—
not gripping a pen, but gently resting beside it.

—

[Epilogue]

“…Are we really going to post that?”
Sumire asked, her voice tinged with embarrassment.

Kei grinned.

“Yeah.
Because maybe… it’ll reach someone else’s ‘beside.’”

—

And so, in the quiet corner of the classroom,
this pair, too, let a small light bloom.

A word that bloomed in the corner of the classroom 1

"If you've ever had your back against the concrete wall, this is your song." "Big Break" is a powerful anthem about self-rescue. Turn up the volume and let the rock bottom rhythm move you. Share this with anyone who needs to hear that their biggest breakthrough is already inside them

Rooms I Can't Forget

In My Car is a song about moving through Los Angeles between neighborhoods and versions of myself and finding identity in the time spent driving rather than arriving.

In My Car

Inspired by The Beatles, Roy Orbison, Missy Elliot, Amy Whinehouse, Queen, Franz Ferdinand, and the bright charm of bubblegum pop, EchoPop’s sound lives somewhere between nostalgia and the future. Her songs are catchy, emotional, and often playfully self-aware.

If EchoPop were a comic book hero, she would be The Professor of Pop, teaching life lessons through melody and turning heartbreak into hooks.

Her music moves across genres from indie pop to electro to rap, all with one purpose: to make you feel something and maybe laugh a little too.
