â @kylephelanmusiq was kind enough to help me record a beautiful acoustic version of Addicted at the studio where we recorded it earlier this year in Chattanooga, TN with Dran Michael Lewis, and I was lucky enough to have it captured by @jfdiv1985. My vocal performance isn't perfect here, but I love that because I'm not perfect, and I hope when you watch this you can connect with what I felt when I wrote it and all the feelings I was singing through the day we did this video.
I was in love and in the middle of losing it, and felt like if only things were different⌠Maybe if I lived a little closer, was a little younger, a little prettier, or maybe if I came with a little less baggage, then maybe the person I loved more than anyone Iâve ever loved would do whatever it took to make it work with me. Maybe if I didnât love so hard or could disappear without a word sometimes he would chase me as hard as he chased the things in his life he wanted to.
But I couldnât change any of those things, and he made his decision, and all I have left is a heart that won't let go of him because Iâm the one with an addiction I can't seem to kick.
This song is special to me for a lot of reasons, but I hope if youâve ever felt any of those things, you feel just a little less alone after you listen to it. And I hope that it gives you a little hope that even if your heart is broken in a way that will never fully recover one day in April, itâs possible to still be standing a year and a half later in August trying to create something beautiful out of what was such an ugly mess.
I love you guys so much and I am so grateful for the support and love I have all around me to create music that I love and that means something to me. I am especially grateful for the people in my life who love me the most and who have taught me to believe that I have something to say that's worth saying. Every day I get to sing is the best day ever.
