Everything Is - Official Lyric Video
For when your anxiety + depression are coming at you.
-
I shot this video myself during lockdown in 2020.
I'm not a videographer and didn't have a camera so it was going to have to be shot on my phone.
I knew therefore that it had to be something simple otherwise it would just look shit.
Also so that it wouldn't detract from the lyrics.
I came up with the idea of me just sitting there meditating .
I loved this idea immediately because it felt so right for the song which is all about sitting with what is, accepting it and learning to just sit with it.
I decided I would speed up the footage so it wasn't completely dull and meant sitting in meditation for a long time!
I worked out I would need to sit for 5 hours to get enough footage (these calculations were wrong I later realised).
I do have a daily meditation practice but up until that point I had only ever meditated for 10 minutes so 5 hours was a big jump!
But I loved the idea of challenging myself and then being able to share the experience with you guys!
I was so proud that I'd pushed myself,
A few years ago I never would have believed I would be a meditator, but my mindfulness meditation practice is 100% one of the most powerful weapons I have against my depression and anxiety.
I cannot recommend it enough!
So I hope you enjoy this song and the message of acceptance. It's such a bitch to achieve a lot of the time, to just embrace whatever difficult situation or negative frame of mind we find ourselves in, but when we can just accept what is, there is an immediate shift to somewhere better.

Everything is
I was in the kitchen in the morning.
Mindlessly I was searching for
something, anything
to make me feel ok,
to take the emptiness away.
That’s when it came to me.
Everything is as it should be.
Everything wants to be thus.
I wanna change it I want to rearrange it,
I want to feel better somehow,
But everything is how it should be.
Nothing could be better could be worse.
I love the fact that I’m singing this verse,
coz I was low, weeks ago,
sitting in the kitchen in the morning,
mindlessly I was searching for,
what then came to me
Everything is as it should be.
Everything wants to be thus.
I wanna change it I want to rearrange it,
I want to feel better somehow,
But everything is how it should be.
This is it.
This moment right now.
This is it.
So what will I make of it?
This is it.
This very moment right now.
This is it.
So I don’t wanna lose it.
Everything is as it should be.
Everything wants to be thus.
I wanna change it I want to rearrange it,
I want to feel better somehow,
But everything is how it should be.
