Where It Started

After the Rain began as a voice memo recorded on a quiet Sunday morning. The streets were still wet, the city was slow, and the first line arrived before I had a melody to hold it.

For weeks it lived in my notes app as four lines and a hummed chorus. I kept coming back to it because it felt honest, like a conversation I had been avoiding.

Late Nights in the Studio

We recorded most of the vocals after midnight. Something about the stillness made it easier to sing softly and let the cracks in my voice stay in the take.

The piano part was played live in a single pass. We tried cleaner versions, but none of them carried the same weight, so we kept the first one.

What It Means to Me

This song is about healing slowly and giving yourself permission to start again. I hope it feels like a deep breath when you need one.
