Baby Teeth
Ezra S.
-
I wrote this song about growing up, and realizing just how much I've changed. I was interested in baby teeth as something nostalgic and pure, but also symbolic of growing up and permanently leaving things behind. While the song started in a place of denial, I came to accept what I've lost growing up and cherish what I've gained. Musically, I wanted this song to be bare-bones, and showcase the imperfections in my voice, which I reference in the lyrics. I was especially proud of the chorus, and the idea of my teeth as new, and eventually kind strangers, just like any change in life.

Creativity is an outlet for any emotion or idea imaginable, no matter how specific, personal, or strange. It is a way to condense these ideas into the most powerful format possible, art, and share it with others who may be just as inspired by it as you were.
