about

The heady, atmospheric groove of Anyway captures the tension between being reminded of who I once was and affirming who I am now. The song is about acknowledging mistakes in the past while moving on and staying centered, even in the midst of memories that others might use to provoke regret. It’s a reminder that no one can make you feel bad unless you let them, and that entertaining might-have-beens is rarely worthwhile.

lyrics

Shake my head and rub my eyes
How I always bought the lies
Seems as though you’ve not moved on
But there’s nothing I did wrong

I don’t think much of might-have-beens
I don’t buy into that chagrin
I can’t go back to origins … Anyway
I’m clearly not a heroine
But phantom pain will never win
And memory is not a sin … Anyway

Stuff my pockets full of tears
Haven’t cried like that in years
Feeling grateful for the dawn
Stepping forward to move on

I don’t think much of might-have-beens
I don’t buy into that chagrin
I can’t go back to origins … Anyway
I’m clearly not a heroine
But phantom pain will never win
And memory is not a sin … Anyway

I gotta give them something to smile about
There’s no reason for us to do without
So why not give them something to smile about … Anyway

No unfinished business here
No one holding candles near
I got nothing left to prove
No regrets left to remove

I don’t think much of might-have-beens
I don’t buy into that chagrin
I can’t go back to origins … Anyway
I’m clearly not a heroine
But phantom pain will never win
And memory is not a sin … Anyway

I don’t think much of might-have-beens
I don’t buy into that chagrin
I can’t go back to origins … Anyway
I’m clearly not a heroine
But phantom pain will never win
And memory is not a sin … Anyway

I gotta give them something to smile about … Anyway

In addition to songwriting, lead vocals, and writing the harmony vocals, I performed backing vocals on this song. Kenny Schick, my producer, also sang backing vocals and played or programmed all of the other instruments. Kenny recorded his parts at Basement3Productions in Nashville, Tennessee, and I recorded my parts in March 2022 with Steven Glaze at ToneFreq Studio in San Jose, California.
