The Oceans Between Us

The Story Behind the Song

"

Some distances can’t be crossed no matter how desperately we reach. This song emerged from that ache - the particular helplessness of caring deeply for someone while watching the space between you grow wider, like standing on a cliff’s edge and realizing the water below is deeper than you first understood. The harder you swim, the further the shore seems to drift.

In a way, making this track mirrored its own meaning. After switching to Logic Pro, I spent weeks reaching for something that kept slipping away - false starts, abandoned sessions, the frustrating gap between what I heard in my head and what I could actually create. When I finally broke through, what poured out was this: a meditation on longing, on insurmountable distance, on loving someone across a chasm you never chose and can’t close. Sometimes the only thing left to do is stand at the edge, look out across all that impossible blue, and let yourself feel the weight of the ocean between.
