Hi, I'm Trouble

Play It By Ear is a song born from instinct, defiance, and the kind of raw honesty that only music can hold. Like the song says, songwriting is the only therapy I can afford... a way to process, reclaim, and transform experiences into something tangible. This track weaves together the vulnerability of creation and the resilience of self-expression, using words and sound to navigate uncertainty, disappointment, and survival. Some of the best lines I’ve ever written are here: verses that cut deep, revealing the catharsis of turning pain into art. If you’ve ever found refuge in music, if you’ve ever felt the pull to translate life into sound, this song is for you.
