Rushing is a song that follows the thoughts that go through your head on a sleepless night. All of your ambitions,embarrassments, and desires seem to cling to you as you walk the line between reality and a dream.

The song was written as an assignment for a class, which allowed me to let go of the pressure that comes with something you write with the intention of releasing it. For me, the words came relatively easy, with me walking into my room to write the song, and walking out around 5 minutes later having mostly completed it (to the utter disbelief of my roommate at the time).

There have been periods in my life which for whatever reason i’ve spent most of my nights lying in bed giving anything for just a few hours of rest. When I couldn’t sleep, something that would always help was music. The songs I’d listen to without a doubt inspired aspects of this song. Bands like, Slowdive, Radiohead, and Joji are just a few of the artists that made those nights a little easier.
