Lyrics wrestle with identity, heartbreak, and struggle, reaching toward faith and hope—light on a hill and a plea to Jesus. Texturally minimal yet warm, it leans on acoustic guitar, piano, and banjo with airy ambience for a calm, steady lift.
Musical Style
Singer-songwriter and CCM roots with indie folk coloration and a gentle midtempo sway. Acoustic guitar, piano, and banjo carry the melody while light electronic ambience adds space. Harmonized duet delivery recalls Feist, Lucy Rose, Sufjan Stevens, Laura Marling, and the soulful gravitas of Hozier.
