Yesterday was Mother’s Day.

Like many, I scrolled through posts, saw photos, flowers, brunch tables, and long captions. And I sent mine too. But then I sat quietly… and thought about the people who never got to send theirs. Or those who did — one last time.

That’s where Too Late, Too Slow came from.

It’s a song about those moments we think we’ll have forever — the phone call we postpone, the visit we skip, the words we don’t say because “there’s still time.” Until one day… there isn’t.

I wrote this track as a way of holding space for that silence. For the guilt, the ache, the love that doesn't go away just because someone is gone. It’s for anyone who missed their chance, who carries that “I should’ve” like a second shadow.

We give our mothers flowers on Mother’s Day. But what they really want — what they always wanted — was us. Our time. Our voice. Our presence. I hope this song reminds someone to show up while they still can.

Because sometimes, too late really is… too late.
