Mild Monk - Years

Hey guys. It's been a while. This is my first release of 2025. It took me a while to recoup from the burn out that I had at the beginning of this year. This is a very special song that was inspired by a trip I made to reconnect with my grandmother in Japan after 20 years of being apart. I made a little video about it which is linked below! The story behind this song: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cdjlvLcMsK4 Please enjoy "Years" and look forward to new music from me soon :) Written, Recorded, and Produced by Mild Monk Artwork by Jena Quach (@jnaqu) Mastered by Patrick Rousseau (@mixedbypatrick) Lyrics: Another year, passes me by With the fear that it's too late to try Who's to blame? Don't you feel the same? Is this how we're meant to be? Moving forward one step at a time Till you're sore, and you just can't go on Who's to blame? When so much has changed Is this how we're meant to be? After all this time, you're still on my mind Could we break it down, remove all the lines Don't know why don't know how, but we'll figure this out I just know that I need you now After all these years, and holding back tears I'm through with doubt and living in fear Don't know why don't know how, but we'll figure it out Cause I know now, yes I know now That I need you in my life, in my life If the weight keeps holding you down As if fate wants you stuck to the ground Just reach out, I'll be there I'll never hesitate to pull you up After all this time, you're still on my mind Could we break it down, remove all the lines Don't know why don't know how, but we'll figure this out I just know that I need you now After all these years, and holding back tears I'm through with doubt and living in fear Don't know why don't know how, but we'll figure it out I just know that I need you now Cause I know now, yes I know now That I need you in my life, my life In my life --- www.mildmonkmusic.com
