Before We ever touch

Les Field - Hold On to Me

Phai Dấu Cuộc Tình - Chí Tôn Bảo

holiday song for the perpetually nostalgic

I Dont Feel The Magic Anymore

In The Weeds

There exists a playful battle between our striving for the good we have yet to achieve and the good we have already found.


Good things make you nervous for a reason
Good things have a price you have to pay
Is it better to be lost or be found
Good things make you ask questions profound

But what if I don't wanna be found by anyone but you.

Take it as it comes don't force the feeling
Good things come as surely as the bad go
You give it all you've got and when you're down
You'll be resting on a solid ground

But what if I don't wanna be found by anyone but you
No I don't think I wanna be found by anyone but you.

Good Things

"Let Us Love You Now” is a gentle song about honoring the people who cared for us, and recognizing the moment when they need help in return. It speaks to the love, resilience, and quiet strength of caregivers — and to the courage it takes for someone who has always given to finally let themselves receive.

This song is meant to be a comfort.
A reminder that being cared for is not weakness.
And that love can flow both ways.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Let us love you now,
For the years you spent loving us.
All those nights you stayed awake,
Every quiet sacrifice
No one ever saw.

You carried so much for so long,
Held the weight of others
With a strength that never quit,
With a heart that kept on giving.

[Chorus]
So let us love you now,
Let you love you now.
It’s alright to rest a while,
It’s alright to lean back down.
You don’t have to be the strong one
Every moment, every hour.
You held us then 
let us love you now.

[Verse 2]
You may still want to do,
Still want to help,
Still want to give 
’cause that’s who you are.

But you don’t have to anymore,
Not the way you used to do.
Not out of habit or worry,
Not out of fear of being a burden.

This is your season to receive,
To be held,
To be honored.
So let us carry you now,
The way you once carried us.

[Chorus]
Let us love you now,
Let you love you now.
Let our strength be yours for once,
Let your tired heart settle down.
You don’t have to hold it all
Like you always figured out how.
You held us then 
let us love you now.

[Bridge]
Let yourself soften,
Let yourself breathe,
Let yourself feel worthy
Of comfort and rest.
Because you are…
you always have been.

[Final Chorus]
So let us love you now,
Let you love you now.
Let the weight fall off your shoulders,
Let the hurting fade somehow.
You can still give,
Still serve,
Still bless 
but now on your own terms,
In the ways that feel true
to you.

[Outro]
Yeah…
You held us then...
let us love you now.
