about

The grinding, heated tone of You Might perfectly reflects how it felt from May 2020 to May 2021 in the wake of events taking place worldwide and in my own neighborhood in San Francisco. Anxiety and anger gave way to a fierce drive to speak truth in the face of lies. I was scared to take risks in my songwriting until this song, but those 12 months changed me and changed my songwriting. Those who hear me play You Might often say that this song helps them to process the difficulty of that time; I can ask for little more than that as a songwriter.

lyrics

You might say that all of this was going to happen anyway
You might state you’d rather be a victim than to isolate
You might say the patriotic thing to do is disobey

I don’t have the words to speak about all that I’ve heard … I know that
I don’t have a way to process all of my dismay … I’m saying
I don’t have the mind to know if there is a design
But I will sing, and I will sing

You might taste the systematic deadly lack of breathing space
You might sense that lacking in compassion leads to violence
You might learn some things about your loved ones that will cause concern

I don’t have the words to speak about all that I’ve heard … I know that
I don’t have a way to process all of my dismay … I’m saying
I don’t have the mind to know if there is a design
But I will sing, and I will sing

Turning in my bed the room is tilting, resolve is wilting, the tension building
Anger in the street accelerating, interrogating, asphyxiating
Voices speaking truth are slowly rising, stabilizing, unifying

You might muse on thoughts we must articulate to make them true
You might taste the bitter truth of knowing lives have gone to waste
You might see the thing we will remember is the bravery

I don’t have the words to speak about all that I’ve heard … I know that
I don’t have a way to process all of my dismay … I’m saying
I don’t have the mind to know if there is a design
But I will sing, and I will sing
But I will sing, and I will sing
But I will sing, and I will sing

Sing

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 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.
