If you like this song, it's from my latest album, a culmination of 10 years of writing and sharing a song everyday.

Just be quiet for once in your life
In a few minutes be loud as you like
But for now
Forget what you’re going to say
Do you feel that
In the stillness
It’s who you are
With no bullshit

In your chest the pain expands
You feel heat radiate in your hands
And your eyes
Are filling up with tears
You are not incomplete
You are stronger
Than you think you are
And you belong here

You may not
Be remembered
But you will never
Be replaced

You are more than the sum of your parts

Hear the drip drop of the melting snow
Tick tock goes the watch you feel the seconds glow
And the sun
Is banging down your door
Time is constant
It will outlast you
So just watch those feelings
Roll right past you

They do your bidding
But you have to feel them
Even when it sucks

All the bad things you ever did
Every single ancestor that ever lived
And they’re all
Forgiving you right here
They know
What you’ve forgotten
You can make mistakes
All is not lost then

You may not
Be remembered
But you will never
Be replaced





Hi there! If you're new around these parts, welcome. I'm Jonathan Mann. I write a song every single day, and I've been doing that for the last 10+ years.

Through sick days, tired days, days with no inspiration, the death of my grandma, the breakup of a 5 year long relationship, the marriage to my wife and the birth of our son - I've never missed a day. This is my life's work.
