In this video I sit down with my notebook and write a song about sensory overload — that feeling when everything is too bright, too loud, too much, and your brain starts buffering like an overwhelmed little forest creature. I talk through how I approach a heavy, very real topic in a way that still feels gentle and singable, and I let the writing be messy on purpose. It’s less “perfect songwriting” and more a druidry-diary kind of moment: noticing what’s happening in my body, naming it, and turning it into imagery I can actually hold. I share the way I build lyrics from sensory details (sound, light, texture, crowds, the internal spiral), and how I try to give the song a bit of breathing space — like stepping out of a busy room and into the woods. If you’re a songwriter who gets stuck when emotions are big, I hope this offers a soft framework: start with what you can sense, find one repeating line that feels true, and let the structure support you. And if you just needed someone to say “yeah, this is a thing,” I’m right there with you.
