Dermot

I wrote this song at a time in my life when things were pretty beautiful, I was living in a house surrounded by a pasture full of longhorn, I was raising butterflies and a baby deer. I would travel back and forth between LA, Maui and Nashville pursuing my souls passions. I had a record and a publishing deal, everything I had been working for my whole life was coming into fruition. I felt the need to write a song called ‘daydream’ that wasn’t about love or heartbreak, I wanted something meaningful and inspiring…something that would encourage other young people to listen to their heart. After a few hours with Mags Duval and Casey Brown, Daydream was born..

Then the unexpected happened, my mom was diagnosed with cancer and my life twisted upside down. I lost my record deal and my confidence. I developed an extreme case of anxiety. My main focus was my mom, and naturally nothing else seemed to matter… After a fierce fight with vast ups and downs, my mom passed away. In that moment, not only did I lose my mom, I lost my best friend and number one cheerleader. I found myself falling into a depression, the grief and sadness took over me... Now after battling this heartbreak, I feel like I wrote this song for my future self, to re-inspire me to never quit my daydream. -lily

Daydream

A dichotomy between my sin and God's grace.

LOST

LYRICS:
So step inside,
'Cause that night is cold, it don't deserve such a smile.
It's not enough, 
For it to show up every once in a while.

In the moonlight, I should,
Kiss you at Samhain, throw it all down.
Wouldn't that be cool? 
To kill the guards, open the gates, for feelings unbound.

But I've been keeping hope.
I've got a fairytale in my heart, I can cope.

I've been keeping hope.
Bet they had you in mind when naming the rose.

Only know 'bout how I won't be here later.
Don't forget, 'bout how she had you feeling major.
He tried to write down how he felt 'bout the girl,
Kept running out of paper. He'll wait for her. 

He was feeling fucking awesome,
Be a good man like you taught him,
Don't get caught up in caution when love exists.

So step inside, 
'Cause that night is cold, it don't deserve such a smile.

We'll be alright,
I could never lie about caring a lot.

I thought I would switch it up and make it my own song rather than just making a "remix"
The past two nights have been straight up all-nighters trying to perfect this as best as I could. I really hope you enjoy and thank you for your continued love and support. LMK what you think. <3
