Hey Sammy (and anyone else building out their music list), I promised you a song, and since a few of us are loving music with messages that really land, here's one for the collection.
Loved what Sage and created together, so clever, what a brave and beautiful thing to share your gorgeous voice with all of us like that - what a wonderful gift you have. 🎤✨ That reminded me how much lyrics can carry us through the hard bits. This one has been on repeat for me. The words just spoke straight to where I am right now.
I'm sharing two versions:
This one found me at exactly the right moment. Big health reset, a career pivot that absolutely rocked my ego and identity after extended burnout and the daily climb back to myself.
These lyrics just landed:
So when I hear these lyrics, they stop being a pop song and start being a map:
"There's always gonna be another mountain I'm always gonna wanna make it move Always gonna be an uphill battle Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose Ain't about how fast I get there Ain't about what's waiting on the other side It's the climb."
And this bit, for those days when the ADHD brain tells you you'll never get there:
"I can almost see it, that dream I'm dreaming But there's a voice inside my head saying You'll never reach it..."
The mountain isn't the problem. It's just the terrain. And the hard moments aren't the things to push past - they're the ones we'll remember most.
Very us. Very ADHD Harmony. 💛
