I wasn’t sure if I was going to put this song on my album. It represents the height of my desolation and desperation in the past year. I want to be a musician that spreads positivity, but it seems hypocritical when I’m trying to find positivity in my own life.


2020 was the first year that I had to deal with multiple challenges at once. It started with the breakup, then the pandemic, then personal and family issues. Things kept piling on, and there were many days where I just didn’t want to wake up the next morning. Just like in this video, I spent my time in my bedroom feeling stuck in a rut.


I saw a therapist, worked on a self-help program called Moodgym, and did my own research about mental health. There’s so much that I learned that I wish I could fit into this description box.


Ultimately, I think giving myself time to grieve and to heal was so important. Throughout the past year, I was rushing myself in trying to feel better, and when I didn’t, I felt worse. I learned to tell myself that it was okay not to be okay. I’m doing so much better now, and I hope it only gets better from here.

For any rosebuds out there who are or are ever feeling despair - know that you’re not alone. I’m sending you HUGE hugs. Be kind and gentle to yourself. We’re not perfect. We’re all just trying to figure life out, no matter how old we are.

Rosendale - Tell Myself (Lyric Video)

Written, recorded and produced by Brian Wang

Lyrics:


I saw somebody leap to the other world

Jumping off the edge left behind his hope

But he could fly for a second incredible

I wonder what it was like when he finally fell

They say you hit the water and then it’s gone

All the tears you cried all the pain you felt

But is it worth all the hurt that you’ve probably caused

When they find that you don’t make it back to shore


To be honest

Sometimes I think about all of the same things

I wish I could go back so I could change all of my memories

‘Cause all of them are sad

All the drinks I had

Turned into a pool of misery

I wonder if I’m better drowning

I tell myself

No no no no no no no no

No

I try to tell myself

No no no no no no no no

No

They celebrate the life that they never knew

Can’t point out the elephant in the room

Most people can’t understand what you’re going through

So in the end does it matter the path you choose?

To be honest

Sometimes I feel like I’m feeling the same things

I wish there was a way that I could tell this to my family

But they’d only be sad

Maybe I don’t have

Any point in being here

It’s so unclear if I’m swimming or sinking

I tell myself

No no no no no no no no

No

I try to tell myself

No no no no no no no no

No

I’ll turn my headlights on

Speeding ‘cross the bridge

No it won’t be long

But I got to be strong


And I tell myself

No no no no no no no no

I gotta tell myself

No no no no no no no no

And I tell myself

No no no no no no no no

I gotta tell myself

No no no no no no no no

I tell myself
