(The Journey Project 021 - VRLOG 206)

It's love, it's love... it's all of the above. One of the more organic sentences I've ever written honestly. Like, I wanted to write DIFFERENT words and I was so moved I couldn't... it's love. It's LOVE! It's allllllllllll of the above.
 
As the entry explains (and it's just from last year), it took the difficulty of 2024 to reignite love songs because our relationship is too fucking good to keep writing them. When you're both so disgustingly sweet, and everything worked out and you're always so happy? You can't just KEEP saying that. It's like Christian Rock acts: WE GET IT. YOU LOVE JESUS. Can you fucking stop already? But getting your ass handed to you for SO LONG with Virtual Presence almost forces you to wrap yourself up in the support around you and it just has such a deeper meaning. As I say in the entry, I need some sort of trauma to be pushed to writing. I mean, sure I can write if I need to without that, but The Journey has never been about content creation. Ugh, I could never... it's been about documenting what's happening in real-time - so this song coming out in the middle of insomnia is beautiufl to me. It feels like magic...
 
 
Ahhhhhh... loving sigh. When you smile at me I feel like I am 33...but then I see my face in the mirror. Everyone getting old says it: you're shocked. I sometimes get right up to the mirror and look quizically at myself like "what in the actual fuck?". But, as I say in the song, my eyes still persist. I still see that scheming kid trying to accomplish well beyond his means.
 
I love the growing old part of this song more than anything. I'll sing this for the rest of my life. I'm so, so, lucky.
