Alana Springsteen - love to see it (Official Visualizer)

i hope you learn to let go with tenderness, and to hold on with conviction. i used to tell people i had bad luck when it came to love. it was easier to blame the universe than admit i might've had a hand in my own misfortune. my first "love" looked perfect on paper. i did what i'd always done. i shape-shifted. i became a chameleon. a version of myself that i thought would earn me love. the good girl, the agreeable girl, the girl who never needed too much. abandoning yourself comes with a price. about a year ago, after years of him drifting in and out of my life, he sent a long apology text. an invitation to dinner. a promise of "closure." i remember sitting there, staring at my phone, knowing this had nothing to do with dinner. it was a fork in the road. was i going to slip back into the old pattern, abandoning my needs for the sake of his? or was i finally going to choose me? the ugly truth i had to admit was that i never really wanted him. i just wanted to be wanted. and i'd be lying if i said it didn't feel good to have him realize what he lost. growth with a side of immaturity. this song was my way of letting that unhealed version of me speak. songwriting has always been the one place where i don't have to be wise or right or fully evolved. i can be honest. i can be a little wrong. and sometimes that's where the healing starts. songwriters: me, sam bergeson, maya k, lydia vaughan performers: me – lead vocals, background vocals evan hutchings – drums, percussion justin schipper – pedal steel sam bergeson – programming sam martinez – electric guitar, acoustic guitar, banjo, bouzouki, bass, wurlitzer, piano, synthesizer, programming engineering & production: me – producer sam bergeson – producer, editing engineer, recording engineer sam martinez – producer, editing engineer, recording engineer dave clauss – mixing engineer adam ayan – mastering engineer recorded at: silly sweater studios and starstruck studios in nashville, tn Listen to I HOPE THIS HELPS On All Platforms: https://alana-springsteen.ffm.to/ihop...
