about
Closer to our Core was written in Australia while camping in a Van at the famous ocean town Byron Bay. It’s inspired by the wish to connect deeper with fellow travelers and becoming friends while sharing our personal stories. This country tune, infused with a
“Sultans of Swing” style was recorded by star-producer Simon Henderson (Silly Fools) in Thailand. Merging the feeling of belonging with the joy of traveling the world “Closer to our Core” is an invitation to open up about our true self.
lyrics
Why is it so hard to see
We’ve got the same difficulties
To show our vulnerability
And live our life authentically
Why is it so hard to say
When we don’t feel okay
And each and every single day
We’re acting in the same old way
Why is it so tough to tell
When we don’t feel so well
And everything we show and sell
Is just a shell
We could be so much better
We could be so much more
If we just tell each other
What we’re looking for
We could be so much better
We could be so much more
If we just let each other
Closer
Closer to our Core
Closer to our Core
Is it so hard to admit
That the just try to fit
Into what we think is respected
So we don’t feel neglected
Is it so hard to show
When we change and we grow
And honestly just let them know
We’re not the same anymore
Is it so tough to be real
And communicate what we feel
Come on now what’s the big deal
Do i really need to appeal
We could be so much better
We could be so much more
If we just tell each other
What we’re looking for
We could be so much better
We could be so much more
If we just let each other
Closer
Closer to our Core
Closer to our Core
Closer to our Core
Closer to our Core
Bridge:
Wouldn’t it be easier
If we shared what’s on our heart
Wouldn’t it be easier
Wouldn’t that be a good start?
We could be so much better
We could be so much more
If we just tell each other
What we’re looking for
We could be so much better
We could be so much more
If we just let each other
Closer
Closer to our Core
