about

I wrote this song out of frustration and sadness. Everything just felt heavy around me and I was tired of waking up every morning and feeling that heaviness. I wanted to go back to the feeling of opportunity and joy. So all I could do in the moment was write a song about it.

lyrics

Lately my anxiety's been runnin' high
Ain't been feeling like myself no
I ain't gonna lie
It's getting harder and harder
To find the motivation

Just to get up and smile
No longer second nature
They say don't look back
But I can't help it
There's some things in the past
I haven't dealt with

Just looking for those brighter days
I think we all can say

Do you remember what it's like
To wake up and not feel the world on your shoulders
Do you remember what it's like
To not realize that we're getting older
Do you remember what it's like
We're moving forward one step at a time
But every now and then we gotta
Look back, smile, and remember
Remember what it was like

I'm not sure if it's nostalgia or I'm reminiscing
(Not even sure if it matters though cuz)
It feels more like there's a part of me
That I've been missing

And i'm not sure how to find her again
Don't know how much longer
I can pretend that I'm okay
And you're okay
And we're okay
(Are we okay?)

Do you remember what it's like
To wake up and not feel the world on your shoulders
Do you remember what it's like
To not realize that we're getting older
Do you remember what it's like
We're moving forward one step at a time
But every now and then we gotta
Look back, smile, and remember
Remember what it was like

Iris Bonet Jacksonville, Florida

Not sure if you can tell, but I grew up on 90s r&b. There's something about it that's comforting to me. So while I'm not a true r&b artist, I'd say my music is very heavily influenced by it.

I just want to tell stories and share them with you in a way where you can relate and sometimes tap your foot. Can't wait to share all the things with you! ... more
