this is me trying

We've all had those moments where we feel like we're falling behind or struggling to keep it together. This song captures that feeling perfectly, and Taylor has an incredible gift for putting complex emotions into words that just click, especially with younger folks grappling with mental health. I wanted to translate that raw emotion into the piano, giving people another way to connect with the song's message. No lyrics, just melody – sometimes that’s all you need to feel understood. I just wanted to create something that could offer a little bit of hope and a reminder that no one is alone in trying their best.
