Lost In The Dark
with Jessi Woodruff
This one was so special for me.
When Manu and I started working on this song, I knew it would be a deep one. Back then, we didn't feel understood. I couldn't find peace in myself, couldn't find my anchor points. Bad dreams, anxiety, I was completely in the dark. I wanted to write about that.
We thought a lot about who to send this track to, we needed the right voice for it. Then Jessi came to mind, and I thought, why not. I explained the idea behind the song, what it was really about, and she got it immediately, she understood exactly how it feels.
Not long after, she sent back the lyrics "my mind's in a maze, running in from the heart." But we knew this needed a happy ending. And it got one, because somewhere in all that darkness I again realized someone was watching over me the whole time, pulling me out of it. "Right out of the maze, right out of the haze, straight to the heart." That line felt so hopeful we knew a cinematic version had to happen too, so we made it.
At its core, this song is about being lost in your own mind, stuck in a maze where nothing feels right, and somehow still finding someone to guide you through the haze and back to where you belong.
Hope you feel it the way I do.
Peace!
