This song deals with the longing for a different life and the proverbial “void” that all of us, as humans have within. There are also themes of depression and the uncertainty that is associated with it.

Lyrics: 

I reach out for your hand, it isn’t there 
I open my eyes, and all I see are these four walls
That time when we danced in your living room 
I’d give anything to feel alive like that again 

Longingly 
Searching for 
Something to fill 
The void 
It’s out there somewhere 
Just keep your chin up 

I am grateful for the things I have 
And everyone who has shown me love along the way 
But for some reason I wonder 
Am I worth their extra time? 

Longingly 
Searching for 
Something to fill 
The void 
It’s out there somewhere 
Just keep your chin up 


I always smile through the pain 
I never want anyone to feel as I have 
I love so deeply 
I wish I could eliminate other’s hurt 

Longingly 
Searching for 
Something to fill 
The void 
It’s out there somewhere 
Just keep your chin up 


Always settled for less than what I want
I never thought I deserved good things 
What am I even on about? 
Let’s move forward before life passes by

Longingly 
Searching for 
Something to fill 
The void 
It’s out there somewhere 
Just keep your chin up

Keep Your Chin Up

Never Again

Original Artist: Lewis Capaldi

I made this cover song for a dear friend of mine at his request.

Before You Go

There is an old saying that implies that a thread ties two people together that are destined to meet. I took inspiration for this song from that statement, but added a touch of uncertainty because no one knows where fate will lead us ♥️

Lyrics: 

Look at me I’m over here 
Business as usual 
Setting myself on fire just to keep others warm
Realizing it’s time for me to attend the festivities
Maybe with a plus one that appreciates the glow

I used to say I was hanging on by a thread
Maybe that’s the thread that leads me to you


Hey you over there
How have your days been? 
Are you getting enough sleep 
Are you happy? 
I hope the answer to both of those is…yep! 
You’re sauntering through life
But would you like to sit fireside? 

I used to say I was hanging on by a thread 
Maybe that’s the thread that leads me to you

One end is tied to me, the other to you
Let’s just hope the universe has misplaced its scissors 
What will it be like if and when we meet in the middle? 
In other words I love you and I hope you love me too. 

I used to say I was hanging on by a thread 
Maybe that’s the thread that leads me to you

I wrote this song for one of my best friends who is also a streamer on twitch ♥️ It is a story about a person in chat who had a problem with him pausing the game that he was playing to talk to other members of the community.

This is my second original song! It deals with the conflict that one can face when realizing that they have fallen for someone new in relation to circumstances in their minds and lives and the uncertainty that comes along with it. I hope you enjoy! 

Lyrics 

Not sure how to tell you 
How I feel 
One thing I can tell you 
Is that I do 
Tripping over my words again 
Am I good enough? 

Ever since I met you 
The world is brighter 
Ever since I met you 
I feel so much lighter 
I think I’ve loved you 
Ever since 

I feel so free 
In your presence 
I can be myself
For the first time in forever 
Conflicted and restricted 
Is it now or never? 

Ever since I met you 
The world is brighter 
Ever since I met you 
I feel so much lighter
I think I’ve loved you 
Ever since 

I’m so afraid 
Of the truth 
Overthinking 
Every little thing 
Am I dreaming? 
I can only hope
That I end up in your arms 

Ever since I met you 
The world is brighter 
Ever since I met you 
I feel so much lighter 
I think I’ve loved you 
I know I’ve loved you 
Ever since 

Ever since...

Ever Since

Well hello there friends! I’m Oakleigh ♥️ I am a US based multi-instrumentalist and vocalist who loves to spread love via music. I mainly do cover songs for the time being, but originals are coming soon! I love all different types of music, but I suppose that I could say that my main influences vocally are Norah Jones, Jenny Lewis, Leslie Feist, and Cat Power. Im still learning and growing as an artist, but I really hope you enjoy what I have to offer and that I can help to bring a little joy to your day. 

Much love xx
