The pureness and innocence of Rhian’s words spoke to me when I first read this poem. When I tried setting the words to music, I found myself coming back to the simplest of chord progressions. To me it feels like a hymn or a ritual; a place of comfort to cradle the weight of the small but heavy words — and lift them up off the page into song.
