Meet Me in the Mourning: Finding the Light in the Noise

I’m thrilled to share the new lyric video for the track. I wanted the visuals to reflect that sense of time passing and the quiet beauty found in the transitions.

There’s a specific kind of disorientation that comes with loss. It’s that feeling of waking up and for a split second, forgetting everything has changed—only to have the weight of reality settle back in.

That’s the space where "Meet Me in the Mourning" lives.

As the title track of my album, this song is the heart of the project. While much of my work leans into ambient textures and soulful grooves, this one needed to rock a little harder. Sometimes, the only way to process the heavy stuff is to turn the volume up and play through it.

The Story Behind the Song

The title is a bit of a play on words, but the sentiment is literal. We all want a "morning without mourning," but learning how to make that start is a journey.

Musically, I wanted to capture that tension—blending soul roots with a grittier, more energetic drive. It’s about the messy, beautiful, and often loud process of finding your footing when the ground keeps shifting.

Creative Confidence & The Passenger Seat

Writing this song was a reminder of what I talk about in Doubt Riding Shotgun. We often wait until we feel "ready" or "healed" to create, but often, the creation is what does the healing. Doubt might be in the passenger seat, but on this track, I was driving.

I also made a fun time-lapse video of the making of the video while Gary was taking all the footage of me with his fancy lights and gear. You can check that out here:
