about

Another Little Postcard is a recollection of letters that I've written to myself over the years. It captures memories from my youth – my first relationship and studying overseas – to adulthood – a career switch and more. The instrumental and harmonies are fuller as the track progresses, mimicking a feeling of the disappearance of certain uncertainty in my life. The song ends on a leading tone, leaving listeners feeling like there's still more to explore.

lyrics

He said he loved you, and you fell for all of his tricks
Was it worth it? I don’t think so (In other words, that’s a “hell no”)
You thought you loved him, but now you know
You just couldn’t, wouldn’t, took a really long time to let go

It’s just another little postcard that I wrote
To myself, all those years ago
Little did I know; how much I’ve changed
How much I’ve grown

You split your life in two
You wonder "what's the other point-of-view?" from kangaroo avenue
Remember when the most important thing was grades and to make do
But that you outgrew; had other things to pursue

It’s just another little postcard that I wrote
To myself, all those years ago
Little did I know; how much I’ve changed
How much I’ve grown

You finally quit that job. Nothing beats the pain you went through that year
But where are you right now in your career?
You used to lack the time for other things like board game nights with wine
Overworked, but you said you were fine

It’s just another little postcard that I wrote
To myself, all those years ago
Little did I know; how much I’ve changed
How much I’ve grown

If you hate starting over; stop giving up
Get off the couch, even if it's Monday
So you can thank you, yesterday

It’s just another little postcard that I wrote
To myself, all those years ago
Little did I know; how much I’ve changed
How much I’ve grown

This is another little postcard that I’m writing
To myself, so that years from now
I can see, I’ll know; how much I’ve changed
How much I’ve grown

(I can see I'll know how much I've changed and now I know how much I've grown)
