Beautifully composed, allow a moment of calm and serenity to wash over you with its soothing piano keys and soft vocals. On the track’s production, Zahn explains: “Dawn’s intimate vocal style on this brings me into her world while also making me think of my own life and family. I wanted to frame that feeling in the composition.” Take a listen for yourselves below.
