about

Sweet Spot is about a friendship, the highs and lows of a friendship but especially about when it’s going really well and the two of you are flowing. It’s an in-depth confessional to a loved one about how hard it gets when both of you are on bad terms and apart from each other so instead of repeating the same cycle The song talks about just letting go of control and just enjoying the version of the person that’s presented in front of you in the moment. That way you’ll ‘Float’ in that sweet spot a little longer.

The creative process for this song has been one of my best experiences with songwriting and even with recording in the studio when I was doing the finishing touches on the harmonies. In the writing session, I got to sit down with Solow the Astronaut who I wrote the song with and we spoke for two hours prior about where my head was at and I came already with the title sweet spot because I thought it was a cute song title, we just need a meaningful song to match and then ideas started to come together nicely on our iPhone notes, short after that, the melodies started to form and it was seamless and exciting. I then proceeded with recording the majority of the song myself at home. I wanted to take my time to work on the vocal arrangements and then I got in the studio with Benza for the music production and engineering while Lilo Blues helped with instrumentation on the Bass and the final vocal arrangements towards the end of the song and Adam Cooke refined the guitars on the track. This is one of my favourite songs I’ve ever done and It meant so much to have such a team help bring the song to the best place it could be.

lyrics

I never knew what it took to love
That it would take so much from us
The missing pieces shook me to the core
Lost my way searching for more
Told myself lies to ignore
I was incomplete
I’d lie a thousand times over
if it meant being here in this moment

It’s not perfect
But I see you trying
Attentive to the version of me here right now
Not looking to beyond
It’s not perfect
But I see you trying
Attentive to the version of me here right now
Not looking to beyond

You be yourself and I’ll be mine
Take space in this orbit,
we’ll be fine
Floating in this sweet spot
Surrendering to keep up
You be yourself and I’ll be mine
Take space in this orbit,
we’ll be fine
Floating in this sweet spot
Surrendering to keep up

I never knew the winters could get so cold
Tried to convince myself it wasn’t your warmth
that didn’t do the trick
Walking around with a stone-cold heart
I couldn’t do more time apart
So I had to let go, I’d freeze a million times over if it meant being in this moment

It’s not perfect
But I see you trying
Attentive to the version of me here, right now
Not looking to beyond
It’s not perfect
But I see you trying
Attentive to the version of me here, right now
Not looking to beyond

You be yourself and I’ll be mine
Take space in this orbit,
we’ll be fine
Floating in this sweet spot
Surrendering to keep up
You be yourself and I’ll be mine
Take space in this orbit,
we’ll be fine
Floating in this sweet spot
Surrendering to keep up
You be yourself and I’ll be mine
Take space in this orbit,
we’ll be fine
Floating in this sweet spot
Surrendering to keep up
You be yourself and I’ll be mine
Take space in this orbit,
we’ll be fine
Floating in this sweet spot
Surrendering to keep up
