Our Basement,
I learned about unrequited love back in high school while reading Romeo and Juliet. I often wondered what the story of Romeo’s unrequited love, Rosaline, was really about and found myself dreaming of her side of the story.
Some love stories have a Romeo, a Juliet, and a Rosaline.
It turns out that I often get cast as the Rosaline.
Years ago, I went to Nashville for a songwriting bootcamp and started writing this song with Jordan Sapp. I drove down to Nashville by myself and sang what you hear in the chorus.
My loneliness and the extended amount of time to process made me realize my deep care for a friend of mine, so when we got in the studio, the story of having a complicated friendship seemed to pour out.
My new single is about how I felt led on by someone who saw me as ‘just a friend.’
The love I had wasn’t mutual, yet it also wasn’t discouraged.
I hope you can connect with the dramatic, raw emotions of this song. Thank you for taking the time to listen. I look forward to sharing more music with you in the new year.
