This song was the hardest to sing because the tone of the first chorus was so beautiful but I couldn´t replicate it exactly because I haven't really mastered it so it took forever to record it because I was really nitpicky. Anywho, I maxxed out the vocal layers and it literally might be the most proud of harmonies I've ever been. Since the song is kind of a typical piano ballad nothing specific inspired me sonically. Ty Eva for giving me the site that made the piano part (it's not ai) ♡ ABOUT THE EP ♡ Rewrite The Narrative is a concept EP, where I have flipped through the hundreds of songs I'd written from the summer of 2022-november of 2024, and chose the strongest ones to tell my story and reclaim the fleeting control over my life that I felt then. Documenting heartbreak, life with chronic illness, queer struggles and jealousy. This completely self written EP is an exorcism of a past self, shedding my skin, and growing into my confidence in my identity. ♡ MUSICIANS INFO ♡ Key: C# Major BPM: 72 Length: 4 minutes 49 seconds ♡ CREDITS ♡ Written by: Hart Produced by: Hart Piano by: Hart using One Motion Cover Shot and Edited by: Hart Vocals by: Hart DAW: ST (Instrumental), BL (Vocals) Cover Edited In: Canva
