Opening with soft, acoustic strings, the delicate single carries a stripped-back feel and lyrics that are guaranteed to pull on your heartstrings. Sharing her most precious moments, Heidi speaks on growing up and coming to the reality that everything is changing. The feeling of uncertainty that comes with riding the ‘waves’ of life is extremely relatable. Heidi expresses these feelings in a mature and eloquent manner.
“I’m trying to find something to cling onto in this unforgiving tide,
I wish that growing up wasn’t as hard of a ride”

Unafraid to be vulnerable in the words she pens, Heidi’s back catalogue shows how much her honesty resonates with her listeners, as she has been steadily building a loyal fan base since her debut back in 2019. Each of her offerings shows a new side to the artist, as she documents her own trials and tribulations.
