about

The original version was written for Mental Health Awareness Month. Even the smallest flicker of a good memory can bring a bit of hope to some of my darkest days. I loved the idea of flipping the song into a dance anthem to help lift others and myself out of a dark mood, dancing the depression away. Arlo did an amazing job with this remix! In my songs, there are recurring themes of loving others, loving yourself, and mental health. I struggle with depression, and now that I have more a platform, I want to share my story and shine a light on mental health issues, let people know they're not alone, and that it's ok to ask for help, especially in communities of color.

lyrics

I haven't felt this good in a while
I don't want this time to end
Storing up my memories like photos
In my mental filing cabinets

Good thoughts for the bad times
Come and hold and comfort my mind
Fold it up, put it in my pocket for when the sun goes away

The scent of pine on the wind
Rough pavement on my skin
All the light shining from your face
Feeling your heartbeat on my chest

Good thoughts for the bad times
Come and hold and comfort my mind

And comfort my
Comfort my mind
And comfort my
Fold it up, put it in my pocket for when the sun goes away
