I'm Getting By With My Beautiful Lungs

florescence: the singles 🌸

ireland, may 2023

warm afternoons

What stayed the same each day is that I would take a moment to think of what I could do for my future self and do it, even after a hard day. And I would wake up knowing that I had done my best and any effort—no matter how small—was a kindness to myself.

The reason why she has been one of my best friends is because this person has never ever judged a single decision I’ve made, she has always met me where I’ve been, she’s encouraged me when I’ve had nothing to be encouraged about, and I don’t know if I would be as strong as I am if I didn’t have you and your family because you changed my life. 

there are parallels all around us.

feels like a lifetime ago that i took this first picture, in a park in nashville during the month i was there recording this album. i truly had no idea what was to come!! i know u guys have been waiting a long time for this record, and i promise an announcement really feels in the wind… in the trees…. right around the corner…. i really wanted to make sure i got absolutely everything as right as it could possibly be, and i’ve been working so hard behind the scenes to make sure the next few months are as iconic and busy and round the world as they possibly can be!! it’s been too long since i’ve seen all your faces, and it’s my ultimate priority to change this ….. this album to me is really a representation of the last few years of my life! it’s about my journey into love, about what it felt like to find real solid roots, and grow into the woman i am now, after spending so much of my girlhood in constant motion. the first few songs you’ve heard feel like the first seedlings of autumn, and i like to think the next little chapter of music will feel like the first buds of spring, bold and bright and reaching towards the sun! i was 23 when i started this album, i’ll be 25 when it comes out, and i just can’t wait for this whole new era to blossom - it’s such an honour getting to grow up with u all, and i hope this next era can accompany you throughout the next few seasons of your life. with that, keep an eye on your phones in the next week…. a big eye <3
