Ever since I heard Bohemian Rhapsody as a kid, I’ve loved music that abandons typical verse/chorus structures in favor of movements - like the modern equivalent of a symphony. I feel like Windswept does that; it ebbs and flows like a dream through it’s various acts, chronicling the slow dissolution of something which once was strong. It’s a really vulnerable song for me, and I second guessed my choice to put it out multiple times… but what is an artist without honesty? Feeling vulnerable is part of the craft I have chosen, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Lyrics:
On that night under the staircase
Our arms drifting down
Your kiss made me a believer
Cleansed my sins somehow
I'll be what you need
I'll keep you inside my fortress
Hand you the keys, leave you to roam these halls
But you tore down the keep
I returned to find ruins
You left all my love in the rubble with these walls
-
But in my head
I am still there
I can still feel you
Breathing slow
I've known this dream for a long time
In the air
Suspended here
With thousands of words we've spoken
Can I soar
Up through the clouds?
Leave all of this behind
-
But in my head
I am still there
I can still feel you
Breathing slow
I've known this dream for a long time
All alone
I feel your breath
I hear your whispers
Dark like storms
Telling me "dear, I'll never leave your mind"
-
And you've been there all along
Tugging me, pulling me down
Touching him, holding him close
You've made your home
And I see your face through his eyes
With every move of your hips
You're breaking my bones
While holding me hostage
-
Could I still love you
Though my arms are breaking?
Could we still be alone?
Do I still know you?
Are you still my answer
To the question I've asked since I was born?
