I started writing this song my freshman year of college and I finally finished writing it last summer during quarantine. I just didn't know if I was ready for the world to hear it. It's very personal to me. I wrote it while I was going through some personal stuff. I hope this song resonates with you. I graduated college this month, and in honor of mental health awareness, I decided to release this raw one-take of my song Lost and Alone. Maybe one day it'll get produced or something, who knows :)

(This song is dedicated to the ones who are always a phone call or text away)

Lost And Alone (Acoustic Ver.)

An unedited one-take of an original song that is dear to my heart. It has the essence of an old hymn which is why I love it so much.

This song was born during a time of transition, when I found myself caught in the space between chapters—between finishing college and starting grad school, between leaving behind one home and searching for another. It’s the feeling of wandering, of being untethered, with no one place to truly call home because you’ve had to leave so many behind. It's the struggle of feeling caught between two cultures, connected to both, but never quite fitting into either—like you're always stranded in the middle of two worlds without ever feeling fully at home in either one.

It’s about the hardship of existing in the “in-between." It’s the tension of holding on through hardship when life keeps throwing one thing after another and you're constantly balancing between surviving and giving up. It’s about holding on, even when the weight of it all feels too much, trusting that there's a way through, and believing that you’ll find a place where you truly belong.

It’s also about hope, about the quiet promise that even when the journey feels endless, you’re not alone. It’s about finding strength in the belief that, through it all, someone will guide you home—no matter how far the road may seem.

This song is for those who feel lost yet are still searching, still seeking that place to call home. May this song guide you home.
