about

Times We Had is a nostalgic and dreamy piece of psychedelic folk pop that was written standing on my front porch when I had just moved to Los Angeles. I was staring at a blank sky with all the stars drowned out by vast amounts of light pollution. It was like a metaphor for what was going on inside me as I took my first steps along my journey to who I have become since then - still living in Los Angeles but much more confident in self, and again seeing the stars on a much more regular basis.

lyrics

I wish the sky was clear tonight
It used to be
When I still lived at home
I wish I may I wish I might
but I don't think
That I can change my tone

Sometimes I just can't see
What's right in front of me
Sometimes I wanna be
Somewhere else

I can't believe the things I see
It seems it didn't used to be so cold
When I was a child I was so free
But now it seems that I have just grown home - sick

Sometimes I just can't see
What's right in front of me
Sometimes I wanna be
Somewhere else

I can't forget the times we had
They lift me up when I am sad
Your love has made me what I am
I can't forget the times we had
