Song breakdown: Me & Mine

Last week I released a very light and bright song called Me & Mine. 

It’s about that feeling of high vibe freedom that you have in two very different circumstances: when you’re both in a group of soul friends and when you’re in nature. 

Let’s talk about both of those…


  • Verse 1 captures the type of confidence that you get when you’re having fun in a group you feel like you belong to.

It can even just be with one friend where it feels like you’re on the same team and the game is to be as delighted as possible and you’re both winning. After the past few years, we might feel deprived of these moments that are only possible through in-person connection. 


  • Verse 3 addresses the type of high vibe freedom that comes from glorious moments alone in nature.

Now, these HAVE mostly been available to us, thankfully. There is something about being surrounded by trees and hearing the wind in them, and feeling that same wind on your face, that just feels so comforting and liberating at the same time. 


  • Now, Verse 2 is basically a joke about living in Sweden, as I did at the time, where in the winter months sleeping in means that you don’t experience daytime that day.

This was super stressful as someone who enjoys sleeping in. So, I balance it out with the chorus, “it’s too fast but it’s alright” - this line really calms me down. 


We all have existential angst to some degree, whether we’re aware of it or not. Moments of simultaneous freedom and connection make that angst dissipate in my experience.

I hope this song gives you that feeling as it does for me (and in two short minutes!).

Lyrics:


Verse 1

You know me & mine

Get high all the time

We don’t wait in line

We just take what we can find

We take what we can find


Verse 2

Get up half past late

The sun it don’t wait

If you hesitate

It might be the next day

It might be the next day


Chorus 1

I feel the time going by

And it’s too fast but it’s alright

And every hour is divine

And you got yours and I got mine


Verse 3

Somewhere among trees

Feels like perfect ease

There’s hope in the breeze

Just inhale and you’ll agree

Inhale and you’ll agree


Chorus 2

I feel the time going by

And it’s too fast but it’s so fine

And every hour is divine


And you got yours and I got mine

I’d love to know what part of this song resonates most with you AND/OR if you have any other songs that capture the same feeling! 

If you need some ideas, this past Sunday I held a soul sister song circle on the subject of Light and we made a playlist together- check it out here!

Let life break you open. It’s the only answer.

You have two choices in life: lean into fear and HARDEN. OR lean into love and SOFTEN. 

It’s an ego killer to soften, but I promise you it’s the only solution.

Is life always fair? No. But that’s a bad question with a bad answer. A better question is: is life always worth it? YES. It fucking is. 

Recently I’ve had a resurfacing of one of my major childhood traumas. More like, reliving it exactly. Rough shit. Almost an out of body feeling. (I’m not physically injured or anything). 

I’m an adult now, but that shit can really take you back to your terrified, objectively alone 9 year old self. I felt totally unsafe, like gravity itself is a lie. 

What do I do now? What do I even do with this feeling? 

Thank GOODNESS I’ve recently very thoroughly examined disappointment because otherwise I would not have the framework to deal with this in a constructive, good-feeling way. 

The thing is, I am here for it. I am here for whatever consequence comes from love. I feel lucky to have connections that even allow me to feel grief, because that is another form of love. 

I am so so grateful to feel a depth of love and to have my loved ones still with me and I am my own solution. My very being is the solution. 

I am choosing to not resent any labor that love requires. 

Boundaries are important, yes, but once love is at a certain level, boundaries become mere tools of the ego. 

If there is anything hard that you’re going through in relation to another person, decide whether or not that person is worth it. 

If they are, then don’t resent the GIFT that it is to love. It is a gift! 

Decide to be happy to life and to love. You get to be here. 

And I’m so happy I get to be here with you. 


I’m curious…

What songs help you soften into compassion? 

Want to get deeper into this with me? Listen to my podcast episode on the topic.

Journaling Prompt of the day:

What was a difficult situation with a loved one that either hardened or softened you? How can you forgive the fear and lean even more into love?
