about

To me “Shouldn’t I Be” is a song poised on the knife’s edge between old patterns of self judgement and the joyful clarity of letting them all go. Lyrically this song speaks to that near universal pain of not enoughness, of feeling like we ought to be something different than we are, better, stronger, taller, braver, more beautiful in the hopes that then we might finally feel complete and whole. Sonically however, there is also a wildly triumphant quality to this song that says, “I am the only version of me that will ever exist on this plant and I am ready to stop watering down the vivid blazing glory of my unique signature”
This song is both a call to action and a tender, soothing balm to this specific, oh so human feeling.
