FUN FACT! i have to give my boy Anthony Tinnirella credit for helping to inspire this song because I wrote it after we had a delirious and silly conversation while dropping of Nick from a katie ellen tour and we started writing a country song about something about letting me down gently. can't exactly remember but i took it and wrote this song!

lyrics

our love it was so deep and pure
we were absolutely sure
that when we'd met we'd found the one
our searching and our anguish done

when I look at you I feel the same
but i slowly watch you pull away
i refuse to give up on this now
i hope you'll stay true to your vow

but if you change your mind
try your best to be kind
i won't put up a fight
if you have to let me down
let me down gently, tonight

i'm not the girl i was before
what was once ain't anymore
i tried to spin it otherwise
but i could see it in your eyes

that we were once so evergreen
but we're fading like a cherry tree
no matter how i plead and pray
i know that nothing gold can stay

so when you change your mind
try your best to be kind
swear i won't put up a fight
but if you have to let me down
let me down gently, tonight

This record epitomizes the beauty, love, and sincerity that define Laura Stevenson as an artist. She keeps it honest, doesn't flinch at sadness and rage—but she also considers joy. She doesn't despair. Neither should we. Not while we can listen to music like this. djuss
