recorded in one take, late at night, with the lights off.
i really wanted this version to feel like a diary entry; soft, intimate, sleepy, and a little too honest.
i wanted to try softening and making my vocal more delicate, making it feel like something you’d whisper to yourself when no one’s listening.
for anyone who’s ever picked dreaming over the truth.
thank you for listening.

i'd rather pretend

i've loved this song for a while now,
so here's my version, with my vocals-
like pluto: far, cold, and still hoping someone's watching.
recorded late with nothing but my vocals and a random youtube backing track
thank you to the marias for writing something so delicate
this is just my echo of it
enjoy listening
p.s (i hate the mixing, i'm sorry)

no one noticed

recorded on a cold gloomy afternoon
for those who are aware of their beautiful way they love
soft, kinda yearning and wishes sent to the moon
the way mitski wrote this made it sound so celestial and so human
this is just my little bedroom take on it

my love mine all mine

recorded late at night, and honestly almost didn't upload this one
this song feels like looking at someone across the room and knowing you’ll never say it out loud
it’s soft, slow, almost vanishing
something a black cat would leave behind 
a glance, a shadow, a secret you weren’t meant to find
please enjoy as this one is close to my heart

never tell

cried a few times trying to record this LOL
original by echo huang
sang this one the way it felt
like asking a question with no promise of an answer
sometimes love is just waiting in the dark
sometimes it's saying "i'm here" as gently as you can
and yet no matter how dark it gets, your hope stays all the same
i hope this cover holds a little of that softness too
first time trying to record harmonies, please go easy

allow yourself to love me

some goodbyes don't sound like doors closing
they sound like soft conversations and pretending not to hurt
this cover came from somewhere quiet
where the love hasn't left, but the name of it has changed
this song is written like something that lets that ache breathe
i just tried to sing it from the same honest place

back to friends

a hazy little cover of time machine by mj apanay & aren park. it’s slow, soft, and stitched together with too many feelings at once. i recorded this at 2 am LOL,
it kind of feels like looking out a car window at night, remembering everything all at once
to my distant black cat

time machine

i recorded this late at night, half-curled into myself, thinking about the kind of love that lingers even when it’s gone quiet. there’s something about loving someone who doesn’t always let you in, who disappears when it hurts the most, but still leaves a part of you reaching. this is for that kind of ache. soft, hesitant, full of things left unsaid. the mixing on this is really lazy,
just me, my voice, and all the silence in between.

like you do

recorded this version late at night, heart aching for the kind of love that makes you wonder if you're even seen. sarah kang asks about the worth of a tree that falls unheard, whether existence matters without someone there to hold the memory. i wanted to sing that ache, the longing to be the one who remembers, the one who stays when everything else is gone.

daniel caesar’s “always” feels like a confession i’ve never quite been able to say out loud. it’s about still loving someone long after it’s safe to admit it, long after they’ve drifted, long after you promised yourself you’d move on.
but some people don’t leave you. not really.

this version is for the ones who still look for their name in the quiet.
who still dream about a “someday” they can’t let go of.
i sang this for the person i still love in every way i’m not allowed to say anymore.

always

soft songs & covers for people who stare out car windows and my black cat
guitar strings, instrumentals, voice cracks, and still looking for the moon.
based in my bedroom,
these songs are the parts of me that didn’t know where else to go.
