#halfmoonlight

Reposted from @thelonebellow Our new album #HalfMoonLight is out next Friday and we have one last song to give you before you hear the full album.⁣ 🌗 ⁣ I wrote "Just Enough To Get By" when I heard a secret kept by someone close to me. It was a secret about a trauma they had experienced decades ago, and had kept hidden from nearly everyone they could, until everything unexpectedly came out into the open. Even then, she didn’t know if anyone she’d told believed her. I wanted to put myself in her shoes. When I began to imagine the years of burying this secret, I heard words of advice from all sides; cross-stitch clichés, culture, my confidants, my own mind. Mostly, they told me to get over it, keep it to myself, protect my reputation, and to never discomfort others with the truth of my past. I realized that living that way would only give me just enough to get by; I’d never be free. - Kanene⁣ ⁣ Pre-order the album and listen to "Just Enough To Get By" now! ⁣ #music #thelonebellow #love #freedom https://www.instagram.com/p/B7-SnL1nLwm/?igshid=15e9ooja78ybd
