PRE-SAVE NOW: Champagne Years
“Champagne Years” is a song I wrote to capture the glitter and the ache of a golden era in life—the nights that felt infinite, where laughter spilled into the streets and every dream seemed within reach. Like champagne bubbles rising, those moments sparkled brightly before vanishing into memory. But beneath the shine, there was also a raw intensity—those highs carried shadows, the kind that only reveal themselves when the music swells and threatens to spill over.
That dramatic turn in the piece reflects the truth I’ve come to feel: beauty is rarely simple. The same nights that shimmered with joy were also marked by longing, chaos, and the kind of intensity that leaves its mark long after the lights fade. “Champagne Years” is both a celebration and a reckoning—a reminder that even fleeting moments can change us forever.
