about

Struggle was written in response to the pandemic. However, despite this being a very topical subject, the underlying themes of isolation and kindness are timeless.

lyrics

We've all gone a little Howard Hughes
Whittling away the years just watching the news

It's these kind of times
That I forget to be kind
To myself
To myself

I have nothing left to give
Yet they ask so much of me but
Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day
And any two points form a straight line

Tell me tell me tell me how
You got that your lump in your throat
Or how you are falling apart
And how that gives me some hope

That in these kind of times
We all forget to be kind
To ourselves
To ourselves

(Chorus 2)
An absence of being
The impermanence of this all
Like a leaf I search out the light
And I learn struggle is the meaning of life
