Pause
[Verse]
I heard you say
Things I didn't like
I wanted to scream
I wanted to fight
But I paused instead
[Prechorus]
I took a breath
Counted to ten
[Chorus]
Pause
Think about it
Pause
Before you shout it
Pause
Is it kind now
Pause
[Verse 2]
My temper flares
Hot like desert sun
Gotta let it cool
Before damage done
So I pause instead
[Prechorus]
I think of you
And all you do
[Chorus]
Pause
Think about it
Pause
Before you shout it
Pause
Is it kind nowPause

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Seasons Of Life
In two days, I’ll be six years sober from meth. Six years. That number still doesn’t sit right in my mouth. It feels too big for someone like me. Too clean. Too far away from the person I was when I was deep in it. Sometimes I still catch myself waiting for someone to tell me it doesn’t count. That I didn’t do it the “right” way. That my recovery is somehow less valid because it didn’t follow a script.

Nicely done, Julie! 👏👏👏
Beautifully written
I love your message of slowing down and choosing kindness, it really comes through in the chorus.
Your lyrics are beautifully written and the message digs deep. Excellent writing, Julia. I will be making my way over to your YouTube channel to listen to some of your music. I am excited to discover something new today. Thank you very much I am smiling right now.
