Abstract Art

about

Abstract Art is about changing the way we look back on the hard parts of our stories. This song captures the moment of making it to the light at the end of the tunnel & finally being able to see all the good things in front of you. I wrote this song driving in the car between shows with Grace Theisen & produced it with Jake Finch & Collin Pastore, with art work by my sister, Molly Pederson. It represents a new collaborative chapter for me as an artist, & I'm excited for what's ahead.

lyrics

When the Dust began to settle When my world was torn apart
I was walking through the wreckage Proudly wearing battle scars
I was sifting through the damage Never thought I’d come this far Moving hesitantly
But showing up with my whole heart
It might take awhile for my feet to hit this land
But I’m standing tall despite the shaking in my hands
I want you to know
That it’s never been this easy
For me to fall this hard
But something that’s been broken Has more room to let the light in Shines brighter in the dark
I took all the shattered pieces
and made abstract art
Of all the things that came together You’re my favorite part
Stepping back in the arena Terrified to start again
Even if my knees are trembling I will stand with open hands
Even if I end up face down I will lean all in
I would rather take that risk then never feel again
I want you to know
That it’s never been this easy
For me to fall this hard
But something that’s been broken Has more room to let the light in Shines brighter in the dark
I took all the shattered pieces
and made abstract art
Of all the things that came together You’re my favorite part
Lost some friends and then I made some, all the unexpected outcomes Hard to find myself again, traded innocence for independence
Lost some things I took for granted, took awhile to understand that
It’s hard to say these things out loud, to the ones we care the most about
I want you to know
That it’s never been this easy
For me to fall this hard
But something that’s been broken Has more room to let the light in Shines brighter in the dark
I took all the shattered pieces
and made abstract art
Of all the things that came together
I took all the shattered pieces
and made abstract art
Of all the things that came together
You’re my favorite part
my favorite part
