Listen on Spotify ↗
A gently shifting soundtrack for Viv’s forced pause in a seaside town: spacious strings and piano suggest the coast, while brighter, storybook passages echo the warmth of a bookshop and the unexpected friendships formed there. The vocal half moves between battle-ready resolve, homesickness, new affection, and the quieter discovery that a life can take a different shape than the one you planned.
