I was writing my new song “whatever it takes” today, and suddenly I thought about a line from my “Maria Magdalena” song.
“You can’t rewrite my story.”
It’s strange how songwriting works…Sometimes you write something because it feels true in that moment. And then life moves, things happen, things don’t happen, people have their opinions, you question yourself and somehow you find yourself back inside the words you wrote months ago.
Maria Magdalena was about refusing to let other people define your story.
Whatever it takes is about something slightly different: refusing to abandon your own story just because the outside world isn’t confirming it yet.
And suddenly I realised they’re connected. Maybe that’s what faith is too. Not insisting that life has to unfold exactly the way you imagined. But not allowing disappointment, other people’s opinions, or one chapter that didn’t go the way you wanted to rewrite the meaning of the whole story.
Things come full circle. Sometimes I think I’m writing the songs. Sometimes I think the songs are writing me.
