about

this song was inspired in part by the tv show "supergirl". it feels good to imagine being able to fly away from all my problems and be alone in the clouds, but it also feels good to overcome the things that are weighing me down on the ground. it's the freedom to love yourself. it's the escape but it's also the fight.

lyrics

every day got the road behind me
you said that i wouldn't make it here
but oh how i love to prove you wrong
in a week do a thousand things
you wouldn't believe
and without you my life
has carried on
bury who i always thought i should be
lift my head and learn to be free

no one can hurt me from way up here
it's like all the little voices disappear
the view is so clear for miles i can see
and you don't think i have the nerve to love me

turn my head to what you'll say
you'll take what's good and twist it
i'm choosing not to burn like this
i am strong
i am worthy
you were wrong
will these rusted wings to fly
to fly to fly

no one can hurt me from way up here
it's like all the little voices disappear
the view is so clear for miles i can see
and you don't think i have the nerve to love me

somebody told me there was beauty in the pain
that you don't get the sunshine without braving the rain
every turn every mile
every step away from that crooked smile
standing tall now
till i can't see the ground

no one can hurt me from way up here
it's like all the little voices disappear
the view is so clear for miles i can see
and you don't think i have the nerve to love me

Eileen Doan Chicago, Illinois

Eileen is willing to bet she’s the best damn acoustic-pop-female-singer-songwriter in Chicago. She plays the piano, guitar, and ukelele, and tries her best with electronic pads. Lately, she’s been carving out her sound, writing sad songs that sound happy, and pondering existence as we know it. She has three EPs and is about to release her first full-length album “Small Love” on August 7th 2020 ... more
