Give yourself a chance
Let yourself win
It's time you begin
To live
In your skin

Give yourself a chance
Give yourself a chance

It may have been tough
Before
But today
Will change
When you head out the door

Follow your heart
Follow your dreams
Follow your passion
It's not a lot
So it seems

Give yourself a chance
Give yourself a chance

If you know that you'll be fine 
Give yourself permission
It is time
It is time

Accept 
Who you are
Accept your ways
Nobody is perfect
You should not be afraid

Give yourself a chance
Give yourself a chance

If you know that you'll be fine 
Give yourself permission
It is time
It is time

It is time
Who you are
Accept your ways
Nobody is perfect
You should not be afraid

Give yourself a chance
Give yourself a chance

Give yourself a chance
Give yourself a chance

Give yourself a chance
Give yourself a chance

Give Yourself a Chance

Give yourself a chance
Let yourself win
It's time you begin
To live
In your skin

Give yourself a chance
Give yourself a chance

It may have been tough
Before
But today
Will change
When you head out the door

Follow your heart
Follow your dreams
Follow your passion
It's not a lot
So it seems

Give yourself a chance
Give yourself a chance

If you know that you'll be fine
Give yourself permission
It is time
It is time

Accept
Who you are
Accept your ways
Nobody is perfect
You should not be afraid

Give yourself a chance
Give yourself a chance

If you know that you'll be fine
Give yourself permission
It is time
It is time

It is time
Who you are
Accept your ways
Nobody is perfect
You should not be afraid

Give yourself a chance
Give yourself a chance

Give yourself a chance
Give yourself a chance

Give yourself a chance
Give yourself a chance

Give Yourself a Chance (Reprise)

This song feels especially close to our hearts. At its core is a simple refrain: “I love and accept myself for who I am. I may not be perfect, but I do what I can.” These words began as a little mantra Lucy would sing to herself in difficult times, a reminder to soften into self-acceptance. Over time, it evolved into a simple acoustic folk song, and then after a few band jams with Alex wound up being an epic cinematic folk ballad!

At the start we felt quite self-conscious singing those lyrics out loud. It has gotten easier over time, but even now it still feels vulnerable. 

It has been a transformative process turning something so personal into music we now get to share. We hope it connects with you in whatever way, and is a reminder that we’re all on this human journey together.

With love, 
Lucy and Alex

The Window

“Healing Won’t Make Me Like You” is a melodic indie-pop song about autism and healing from trauma — the quiet, lifelong process of unlearning shame and reclaiming your true self. It’s not about becoming “normal” or changing to fit in, but about finding peace in authenticity after years of masking and misunderstanding. 
With soft female vocals, emotional depth, and an uplifting tone, the song speaks for those who are learning that healing doesn’t erase who they are — it helps them finally feel whole.

Healing Wont Make Me Like You

“Liberation leads to Love leads to Joy” is a quiet journey from pressure to presence. The verses speak of masks and the longing to be “enough,” then breath returns and the heart begins to speak. The chorus invites you to let go—to fall through pain and land at home inside. The bridge is a gentle shedding: old skins, not life, fade; calm arrives without a fight. Colors sharpen, people glow; love needs no proof, only attention. In the end, a quiet mantra remains: I am enough. I am here. I let go—and I am with me.

“The Invisible Wall” is a haunting, emotional ballad about living with ADHD and the silent battle of executive dysfunction. It captures the feeling of wanting to move but being mentally frozen — the gap between intention and action that so many people misunderstand. 
Through raw lyrics and an intimate soundscape, the song gives voice to the frustration, shame, and quiet resilience of trying again when your brain won’t cooperate. It’s not about laziness — it’s about living in a world that wasn’t built for the way your mind works.

The Invisible Wall

"That Freak"  is an anthem for everyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t belong. It’s about turning rejection into strength, and difference into power. I spent years hiding who I was — this song is me finally saying I’m done pretending. Be weird. Be real. Be proud.

Always with Yew is a storytelling podcast about food, memory, and women’s lives.
In this episode, Grace — a southern Chinese student in Sydney — shares her journey through body image, healing, and homemade dumplings with water chestnuts.
Through taste and sound, we explore how food reflects who we are and how we grow.

Grace’s Southern-Style Northern Dumplings

A fusion recipe that blends the warmth of home with a touch of southern freshness.

Ingredients

500 g minced pork (half fat, half lean)
4–5 dried shiitake mushrooms, finely chopped
½ cup sweet corn kernels
¼ cup chopped water chestnuts
1 tbsp chicken powder
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp sesame oil
Green onion and ginger (crushed)
4–5 Sichuan peppercorns
Some mineral water and ice cubes
Ready-made dumpling wrappers

Steps

Make onion-ginger water by mixing crushed green onion, ginger, peppercorns, and mineral water.

Keep the pork cold. Add the onion-ginger water in three rounds, stirring clockwise and adding ice cubes to keep the mixture around 20 °C.

When the pork turns sticky and springy, mix in mushrooms, corn, black fungus, and water chestnuts.

Add chicken powder, soy sauce, salt, and sesame oil. Mix well — this is Grace’s signature filling.

Simply fold each dumpling in half and press the edges together to seal.

Place the fresh dumplings into cold water. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 8 minutes.

Turn off the heat, cover with a lid, and let sit for 2 minutes.

Just a guy who’s lived, learned, and found peace through music. I turn pain into purpose and try to make every song mean something real. My sound mixes pop, synthpop, and post punk— all from the heart. I’ve been blessed to reach people around the world, but what matters most is helping someone feel seen, strong, or healed through a song.

Creating music reminds me that hope never dies, love still wins, and we’re all finding our way.

Every song I make comes from real life—love, struggle, and finding peace. If my music has ever helped you through something, your support means the world and keeps me creating from the heart. ❤️
