Peacock Vow (Official Lyric Video)

My mantra for 2024 is "Do Less, Better"

"PeacockVow" is about many things, but can be largely seen as a New Year's Resolution to be kinder to ones self. It's about acknowledging ones past and, instead of just setting it on fire, no matter how tempting that may be, growing from it.

Here's the first of my song a month, or "_sam" recordings. Last year I wrote a song a month (roughly) so this year I want to try to write and release a song a month (roughly). These _sam recordings are essentially demos for my own fun to make, learn from and release.

For me this song is about refocusing on what is important.

🧾 Lyrics

================================================

One thing at a time

Moving from handhold to handhold

Don't forget your feet when ascending

Growth at the cost of your roots

Will cut you down to size

This time I need to be sustainable

My heart is alive

Despite the coating of cinders

Don't forget your features pretending helps nobody

Try to unlearn the bricks you're made of

Try to unlearn the bricks you're made of

This time I need to be sustainable

This time I need to be sustainable

This time I need, this time I need

This time I need to be sustainable

Focus on breathing

On catching your breath

Finding the part of you

Still in your chest

Focus on breathing

On catching your breath

Finding the part of you

Still in your chest
