Lyric

Time moves the same way every day,
but somehow, each day feels totally different.
Different feelings, different thoughts, different energy.
Some days the sky is bright, some days it's dark.
Some days end on a good note,
and some days just feel heavy the whole way through.
That's just life, right?

But sometimes, I lose sight of that "normal."
The value of things like people, places, time-
the important stuff-just slips out of view.

I've written lyrics about those feelings before.
And I thought I understood it.
But at some point, I realized I'd been so focused on the music I was trying to make,
I stopped noticing everything else.
To be honest, I think I even stopped really thinking about the music itself.

Working every day, coming home, writing lyrics.
Repeat.
Somewhere along the way, I convinced myself,
"If I don't have this, I can't live."
"If I'm not doing music, I don't deserve to be here."
I'd trapped myself in that mindset.
I've always had a habit of overthinking things.

And just when I started feeling really worn out,
a friend of mine-the one who always gives me energy and inspiration-
he just casually said:

"You just gotta do it."

He's the one who first got me into music,
and he's been watching me this whole time.
So when he said that, it hit different.
It made sense.
It felt like my shoulders relaxed a little.

Do it or don't.
Is it fire or not?
That's it.

He was saying that the first time we ever hung out too.
Actually, he's been saying it since day one.
And I always connected with that.
I've been turning that vibe into my own words, my own lyrics ever since.

86,400 seconds in a day.
Do that 365 times, that's a year.
Repeat that until you die.
It's such a basic thing, I never really stopped to think about it.
But maybe it's that simple-
just breathe and do what you do.
No need to overthink everything.

When I came back to that feeling-
that constant flow of "now"-
I started asking myself,
"What does my music sound like right now, in this version of me?"
That's when I started making this album.
That "just gotta do it" feeling kicked in again.

Even if I'm thinking the same thoughts,
the way time passes changes depending on my mood,
how I see the world that day.
And from there, words and melodies started coming naturally.
It felt so fun again.

"This is gonna be dope!"
"I'm doing this just 'cause I want to."
That's really all there was to it.
And then I was like-
oh yeah, that's how A-hum started in the first place.

Writing lyrics alone, singing, deleting, rewriting.
I think I've finally come to really love that time now.

With all the connections and moments happening lately,
I kind of forgot,
but I've always been a little bit of a lonely person.

So let me share that alone time-my "AM"-with you.
Listen whenever you want, in whatever mood you're in.
If this album lines up with something in your life, even just a little,
I'd be really happy.
