Love songs for people who find love hard.
Original songs and tender reflections for the
places where longing, fear, hope and healing meet.
Simply begin anywhere. Follow what resonates.
Start here
Start with whichever title or feeling catches you first.
There’s no wrong doorway in.
If a song catches you, you can keep going below into the words and reflections.
What this is
Unusual Lovesongs is a music-led project for people who long for love and connection but don’t always find relationships easy.
Begin with a song, follow what resonates, and go a little deeper through reflections, listening spaces, and gentle companions for the tender, confusing, hopeful places where love and fear often meet.
Why these songs exist
These songs began as a way of making sense of my own journey through love, longing, confusion, hope, and the old patterns that can make connection feel harder than it looks.
Over time, they began to feel like companions rather than just songs. Sharing them is my way of offering that companionship on to others: not answers, not perfection, just songs, words, and a little encouragement for anyone trying to stay open and keep going.
If you’d like to go a little deeper
Alongside the songs, I’m slowly gathering reflections, notes, and companion pieces for the places they come from and the places they touch.
You don’t need any of that for the music to matter. But if a song opens something, there may be more here for you.
Life’s Okay
If you’d like a gentle first step, start here.
