"Scars Underneath" (first draft)
This a song about unseen battles raging deep within, about finding strength in vulnerability, and about coming out the other side stronger, wiser, happy, healthy, healing and with a deep appreciation for life.
During the bridge, the line is supposed to be "To the girl at 16 who liked to dance with DRAGONFLIES", not fireflies #oops. I didn't realize it until after I finished making the lyric video. I made a couple other little mistakes while singing/playing, but instead of stopping and re-doing it, I just kept going as if I was performing live. I have a bad habit of immediately stopping as soon as I catch myself making a mistake, and while that's fine for a recording session, it isn't good for that to be my default. There are no re-takes in a live performance, and in many cases, nobody will even realize you made a mistake if you just keep going. I just realized there is a good metaphor for life in there...Anyway, this is just the first draft so I def will go back in and fix those mistakes at some point :)
