On Track Lyrics

Can't believe no one's commented on this one yet.

I've been going through a rough one lately. My mental health has not been great, lost a good friend about a week ago, and found out my wife is pregnant with #3 (that's not a bad thing, but overwhelming given my other circumstances).

I couldn't sleep and felt very alone, so around 2am I crawled into bed with my son, put my headphones on, and listened to The Slow Rush all the way through for the first time.

Halfway through this song, I was overwhelmed and the tears came. Just beautiful and came at the perfect moment for me.

Minor setbacks, major setbacks, worrying whether we can afford it (another baby),,,

But, yeah, I'm still on track - as much as I guess I should or could be.

This one hit me like Yes, I'm Changing did 5 years ago.

Thank you, Kevin Parker.
