Pure Love 04:19
Oh my father I don’t want to be blessed anymore If you give it to me I will take it I keep on wanting more And it’s so lonely here Thinking only of myself So now just cut me off, cut me off I just wanna get well When I had nothing It wasn’t enough When I had everything It was too much I don’t wanna be stuck still staring at the way that it was I just want a pure love Oh my lover I don’t know how to make a new plan I keep dreaming of a better moment Anywhere but where I am And it’s so uninspired And it still feels so wrong So now just wake me up, wake me up I just wanna move on When we were nothing It wasn’t enough And when we had everything It was too much I don’t wanna be stuck still staring at the way that it was Just want a pure love Let me be hungry More than enough Let me be lonely Learning to love Let me be stuck still staring at the one that I want Pure love

this the kind of night that makes me talk too much makes me tell my mind makes me lose my touch this the kind of eyes that make me miss my step what i think i know make me think again and you win again though i said it right it was meaningless with its heart pulled out just a walking bird on the steady ground though it could have gone it was not allowed it is time to begin it is time, it is when it is time it is with you i don't know how i see how i know what will be how i know but i do how did we get here if there was any doubt for the way it feels just to lay around isn't there a word for what we're going through and is it your god is it my god too i gave everything it was not enough so i twist the knife and i waste my love and the only gift shelter the attack with the life that's left i can give it back it is time still ahead it is time that is left it is time it is for you you can go where you need to become what you know that you are and i see you it is time to begin it is time, it is when it is time it is for you now i know, now i see how i know what will be How i know oh i do

about

After spending so much time over the past two years sitting with my grief—both personally and creatively—I’m thrilled to offer up two songs that center joy, hopefulness, and pleasure.

What can I say about Pure Love? It's a fun pop song about how wanting more is the cause of so much suffering! The first verse is about material greed and overconsumption, a poison that has infected every aspect of our society and continues to push us collectively toward the brink of destruction. The second addresses a more personal manifestation—a constant sense of dissatisfaction with ourselves and others, a longing for a kind of perfection that can never exist. To me, overall, it’s a song about reaching for a more pure way of being--finding a way to accept our humanity and all of its failures and imperfections so that we can be at peace for a little while while we’re alive.

It is also, hopefully, a lot of fun.

Both of these songs were produced and engineered by me and my #1 pal and musical hero Nick Sanborn, and mixed by Bella Blasko, with engineering by Alli Rogers. Me + Sandy played all of the instruments with the exception of some truly key contributions by our resident guitar freak Alan Good Parker.

I wrote these songs well over a year ago, and wasn’t quite sure where to place them—but when the fine folks at Psychic Hotline asked me to be a part of their singles series, I knew they had finally found their proper home. Thanks to everyone at PH for providing the perfect context for these two songs to exist within, and for being endlessly encouraging and accepting of my many creative selves. I hope they bring a little lightness to you all.
