A poignant acoustic journey through time as a young boy speaks to his future self, asking life's biggest questions and receiving wisdom from across the years. Through gentle fingerpicking and raw, emotional male vocals, this song explores the universal human experience of growing up and facing life's complexities.

"How We'll Be" unfolds as an intimate dialogue between innocence and experience, hope and reality. A child wonders about wealth, success, love, and happiness, while his older self responds with hard-earned wisdom about life's unpredictable path.

This stripped-down acoustic arrangement intentionally keeps the focus on the emotional narrative, allowing the conversation between past and future to resonate with listeners who've walked their own winding roads through joy and heartbreak, wealth and struggle, dreams and their sometimes bittersweet fulfillment.

Written as a reminder that life rarely unfolds as we imagine in childhood, but carries beauty even in its imperfection.

Lyrics:

Little eyes full of wonder, looking ahead
Ten years old with a million questions in my head
Will I grow tall and strong? Will I find my way?
Hey future me, what can you say?

Will we be rich with treasures and gold?
Will we find success before we grow old?
Will we find someone to hold through the night?
Will we be happy? Will everything be alright?
Tell me, future me, what will our life be?

I see you there with your innocent heart
I wish I could shield you from where we'd start
Yes, we'll have money, then watch it all go
The richest moments? They won't come from what we own

We'll taste wealth and we'll know hungry days
We'll find success, but in unexpected ways
We'll find love – deep and true – but feel its sting
Happiness comes and goes on broken wings
Trust me, younger me, that's how our life will be

Will we have lots of friends to laugh with and play?
A faithful few who stay through the darkest days
Will we be all I dream we can be?
Not quite, but someone stronger than you'd believe

There'll be mistakes and failures, scars on our soul
Moments when pieces break, never again whole
But there's beauty in the breaking, in starting again
In finding your feet after the rain

We'll know wealth in the things money can't buy
We'll find triumph in simply choosing to try
We'll know love that's worth all of the pain
Happiness found in dancing through the rain
This is us, this is life, this is how we'll be

If I could tell you one thing to hold onto tight
It's that you're stronger than you know
And though the path isn't straight
The journey makes you whole
Little me, it's all going to be alright

How We'll Be

🔻 Song Insight – Nostalgic Cry
Nostalgic Cry is a brutal unraveling — a breakup anthem for the soul that never got closure. This track hits like a punch from the past: part confessional, part cinematic collapse. It paints the portrait of someone who finally sees behind the mask, but still hears the echoes of what used to feel like love.

It’s a story about waking up — painfully and permanently — from the version of someone you used to believe in. The verses are bitterly quiet, the pre-chorus punches hard, and the hook swings with clarity: this was always a performance, and you were always the audience.

With glitch-laced ambiance, sharp vocal delivery, and a hook that flips memory into indictment, Nostalgic Cry doesn’t just mourn the loss — it exposes the playbook.

🔻 Lyrics
Verse
The whispers in the night used to make me stay
The evil grin I thought was your only sin
Now your words — they echo pain from within

Pre-Chorus
I'm done with all your shit
The lies that fall from your lips
The very ones you kissed me with

Bridge (Catchy Hook)
Flipped inside out, turned upside down
It’s your darker side
This is not my friend
Not the one that used to defend…

Chorus (Catchy Hook)
Rehearsed, practiced a thousand times
Watched us closely, memorized our every line
Now reactions are your only guide
Set the stage for my own fucked up demise

Verse
No longer I hear your fucking lies
I opened my prerendered eyes
You're my past — just a nostalgic cry

🔻 Artist Reflection
I wrote Nostalgic Cry when I finally stopped rationalizing someone else’s darkness. It’s about how long you can mistake manipulation for mystery, and performance for passion. This song came from years of trying to hold together someone who was rehearsing every emotion while I was living mine for real.

The title isn’t just a reference to grief — it’s about how distorted love can become once it’s filtered through memory. It’s when you realize your favorite scene was staged… and you’re the one who paid for the production. There’s sadness in that. But there’s power in saying it out loud.
