Umbilical | Umi Copper

It’s been a while since I’ve written about a track. Partly because there was so much else filling up my brain (and there still is). Partly because it didn’t feel right to share a track with everything going on. And Partly because things were so hard, even finding a great track couldn’t make me feel better - much less sharing it with anyone.

Things have been hard. Really hard. Somewhere between losing-a-parent-hard and going-through-a breakup-hard. That kind of hard that’s not necessarily live changing but definitely core shaking.

After two weekends of staying in bed - not quite sure if I was depressed or just exhausted (i’m going with the latter) - last weekend I drove to the desert, past Tahoe, to look at the stars.

I needed that. I needed that change. I needed that shift. I need that moment to look up and see something bigger than me. I needed to do something that my dad would have loved…on his birthday.

Things are still hard. And they probably will be for a while.

But finding a great track is making me feel better.

So I thought I’d share.
