"Lover's Row" is piece inspired by my grandparents. They were and always will be the epitome of love to me. They seemed to always love each other without stress and freely. Out of all the time I've been around them, they've only had one disagreement. They held onto their love until God called them home, and their love was always genuine.
"Goodbye" is a piece about leaving situations, whether romantic or platonic, that don't do you well - any relationship that's made you feel defeated or less than. This song is about finally knowing my strength and finding the confidence to leave that situation.
