about

I lived at 42 Upland Road after moving out of our home for the last time. Good friends generously gave me a place to land and a family to be a part of when I needed it most. It was at 42 Upland Road that I started to really process the reality that my marriage was ending. Accepting my own failures and what it meant to be alone. Searching for something I could have done different to change the outcome and, finally, beginning the process of letting go of what I could not change.

lyrics

42 Upland and another night alone
Can’t believe this is real it’s more loss than I’ve ever known
Sitting by the fire just watching it burn
Thinking about all of the lessons learned
Here at 42 Upland on another night alone

Is it weak of me to just want this to end
I'll do whatever it takes I’ll break you know I’ll bend
Everyone says one day I’ll be fine
That spring surely comes after winter time
But this is 42 Upland on a winters night alone

Oh there’s some things you just can’t change
You give it your best and still at the end of the day
All that’s left is just to let it go I know I know
I’m learning let it go on 42 Upland Rd.

No leaves on the trees and the sun don’t seem to shine
But there’s gifts to be found even here in the wintertime
I can’t stop the questions from having a voice
But to be swallowed whole well i guess that a choice
Here at 42 upland on another night alone

Snow is falling again seems like it’ll never end
I've got this feeling that reconstruction could be a friend
But tonight this death is all that I can feel
Even though I trust resurrection is real
This is 42 upland on a winter's night alone
