"Painting of a Tree" is the fourth single from 'Troubadour' (November 14th) - https://tiberiuswright.bandcamp.com/album/troubadour-2

“There’s this older man I work with - a kooky gentleman who’s kind of off his rocker - but at the same time can incite this erudite understanding of the human condition. When I asked him if he had any advice for someone really mulling over some heartache, he chuckled. He said, “an artist cannot paint a tree, unless they examine all aspects of it.” I wrote, Painting of a Tree, as an homage to this idea that this kind of hurt was a truly human experience. A kind of pain I wouldn’t wish on anyone, but something that I feel thankful to have experienced. The kind of pain that makes us who we are.” – Brendan Wright (they/them)

Lyrics:

You came for love 
You leave with lessons 
The way you walk
Left me adolescent 
Take the time to notice 
The tree line you’re painting 

Goosebumps 
And laughing sideways
In the Stained chair 
You left to my place

I hope they love you 
Like I do 
At least the way I wanted to
Not the way I did 

Why’re you here
in the first place?
I saw you leave 
With your head raised 
Not that it’s wrong 
To see you around 
I just don’t know how to act

I’ll have your back
again someday friend
