about

"With just gentle guitar accompaniment and lush harmonies ‘Trying’ is a beautiful piece of music that displays Driven Snow’s ability to express emotion through delicate instrumentation and meaningful songwriting. The spacious elements within the song gently draw the listener into the track’s ethereal soundscapes and expansive atmosphere while the soft buoyant rhythms add a bite and lift to the song. The track slowly builds throughout while the sweet tone of Kieran and Emily’s lyrics deal with anxiety and yearning to overcome the fears we all experience while navigating through life. The duo gracefully translate these feelings through a few short yet powerfully evocative words “My dreams get dark at three am and I’m not so zippy, like I pretend, but I am trying”.

‘Trying’ is a charming tune that provides an exciting glimpse into the talent of Driven Snow."

lyrics

I live anxiety, my dreams get dark at 3am
And I'm not so zippy, like I pretend, but I am trying...
Trying...

I never met Neil Young, just saw him at an airport once
I lie about stupid things, afraid I haven't done enough, but I'm trying...
Trying...

Sometimes I feel like I'm not enough
Like someday I'll wake up and you've packed up all my stuff
Some days are rough
But I'm trying...
Trying

Oh oh oh oh...
Some days I don't have to pretend

I live anxiety, my dreams get dark at 3am
And I'm not so zippy
Some days I don't have to pretend...
