Those who know me well are not surprised by the theme of “Right.” It has a fun, melodic groove while making light of my tendency to overthink and worry. I’m guilty of wanting certainty and control in life, which as we know are two things that life just doesn’t give us. The song is my own quarter-life-crisis anthem in which I’m just wanting someone to tell me that I’m making the right choices, or “living it right” as John Mayer would say.
I was twenty-five when I wrote it (as mentioned in the song), about nine months into my Maui journey. The song is an honest depiction of where I was at the time. I would wake up most days and go on walks to clear my head and check the surf. At night I would stare at the ceiling thinking about all of the things that I could be doing to move forward, but instead I would do nothing, paralyzed by fear and indecision. Sound familiar to anyone?
“Right” is available on all streaming services including Spotify and Apple Music.
