The Morning After

“I wanna be razor sharp. I wanna be crystal clear.”

P’aris taps Willa to lend some vocals to the pop jam “Focus.”

P’aris in the email about the song.

Focus’ is a song about two people experiencing the loss of a pregnancy. There’s a very particular type of gentle empathy that both partners must offer each other when going through a miscarriage. It’s a strange type of loss, especially from a pragmatic standpoint – you haven’t so much lost something as you have lost the idea of something. So in a way you’re mourning the loss of control over your own future, control over your body, your biology. And you’re also faced with the fact that you have failed at the one thing humans exist on earth to do. ‘Focus’ is about making sure the relationship doesn’t suffer while you’re each processing things in your own way.

And the last time we talked about Willa on MAS.

Go with yourself.
