Pieced Together On Purpose

This song is a little different from the others on the album. “Stitched Together” is a tender waltz about the idea that the people we love, whether a spouse, a best friend, a parent, or a sister, were somehow meant to be pieced together with us. Like a quilt pattern designed long before either of us knew it existed.

I wanted this song to be universal. It’s not specifically a wedding song or a friendship song or a mother-daughter song. It’s all of those things, because the feeling of “we were always going to find each other” applies to so many relationships in our lives.

The Bridge That Means the Most

The bridge of this song is the part closest to my heart. It’s about how love gets passed down, not just through stories, but through stitches. Generations of women praying over their needles, working on quilts they’d give to people they loved, never fully knowing who their work would eventually touch.

I think about all the hands that quietly shaped the people I love most, long before any of us were born. Grandmothers and great-grandmothers stitching prayers into fabric, not knowing their work would somehow lead to this moment, this relationship, this love.

Why a Waltz?

There’s something about the 3/4 time signature of a waltz that feels like swaying, like being held. I wanted this song to feel like a slow dance, intimate and tender, building gently into something sweeping by the end.
