"Echoes of You" lives in that specific space between heartbreak and healing—the kind of track designed to move your body even while your heart is breaking. Produced with Porter Hall, this is an upbeat EDM anthem anchored by the weight of real grief. While the sound was inspired by the euphoric energy of John Summit and Dom Dolla, and the vocal emotive power of Ellie Goulding, the soul of the track is intensely personal. During the writing process, the phrase "Echoes of You" kept haunting me. It perfectly described the presence of absence—how the people we lose seem to linger in the quiet moments. I channeled the loss of my grandfather, my sister-in-law, and my lifelong dog, Aubree. I took that raw, personal grief and reframed it into a story about a "forever" love lost too soon. It’s about the walls we build to keep the pain out, only to realize we’ve trapped ourselves in with the memories. But ultimately, this isn't a sad song. It’s a survival song. The line “I built these dreams out of pain / you keep dancing through the rain” is the turning point. It is the realization that loving hard and losing deep isn't a weakness—it’s a gift. This song is about finding the courage to dance forward, even when the echoes are calling you back.

Lyrics: Have you seen the old town Itʼs like a record with the needle down You can think youʼre playing it The more you do the more it skips And youʼll be begging for another turn The sweet comes with the burn Instrumental Walking on a knife edge Wondering why Iʼm not dead yet “Cause itʼs something that you canʼt refuse I paid Charlie just to be excused And Iʼll be begging for another turn The sweet comes with the burn The sweet comes with the burn The sweet comes with the… Burn Instrumental If the liquor doesnʼt do me in It will hold me like an old friend Dancing with me all night And tell me that itʼs all right And Iʼm still begging for another turn The sweet comes with the burn The sweet comes with the burn The sweet comes with the… Burn The sweet comes with the burn The sweet comes with the burn Itʼs a lesson that I never learn, yeah The sweet comes with the burn The sweet comes with the burn The sweet comes with the…
