Gravity Hurts
“Gravity Hurts is a confident, well-produced record that is masterfully imbued with bits of Wylie’s personality.” - Josh Lee, The Daily of UW
Gravity hurts. Life’s a b*tch. And reality can feel like a slap to the face.
This album contains the stories of two years of my life—two years which contained some of the highest highs and lowest lows I’ve experienced to date. There was a lot of heartbreak. There was a little love. There was a lot of overthinking and second guessing and learning. There was fluctuation between the best and the worst. And if I’m honest, a lot of the last two years felt like a big fat face plant. I’ve found that gravity—reality—hurts. A lot. But that’s okay, because the things that hurt are the things that heal. Love hurts, change hurts, growth is uncomfortable. But the hurt we feel is our reminder that life is not static and that we have the capacity to grow and change—we are supposed to. I’ve changed a million and one times since I started writing this music, and I hope to continue changing. Because it is in those moments of facing reality—when gravity hurts the most—that we grow into who we are meant to become.
