Lyrics:

The way life can go, The grip of control, Dripping through the cracks 'tween your fingers, And all that you know, I’ll be there standing next to you. You don't always ask, When you’re over tasked, For help with things you just can't finish, And all that you know, I’ll be there standing next to you. Holding you so you can stand, Telling you that “you can", No matter what comes your way, I’m always here to say, "I'm right here" Your strength gives me hope, That's why I can cope, People question why all the brightness, All that you know, I’ll be there standing next to you. Over tasked, just ask; Holding you, you stand; Telling you “you can”; Next to you, always; Life’s way is unknown; I’m right here for you; telling you, you’re strong; standing by your side; Hold tight, standing tall; no matter what comes; all you know is true; I’m right here for you; Life’s grip, let it slip, and watch the world unfold Holding you so you can stand, Telling you that “you can", No matter what comes your way, I’m always here to say, "I'm right here" When you're feeling lost, and you don't know what to do I'll be there to remind you, that I'm here for you With my love and support, you'll find the strength to stand (And face the challenges, that come with life's demands) Holding you so that you can stand, Telling you that “you can", No matter what comes your way, I’m always here to say, Holding you so that you can stand, Telling you that “you can", No matter what comes your way, I’m always here to say, “I’m…” “I’m right here, right now!”

Story:

"Next To You" is a heartfelt song that I've written with the intention of expressing unwavering support and deep connection. It's a message of reassurance, a promise to be there through life's twists and turns. In the opening lines, "The way life can go, The grip of control, Dripping through the cracks 'tween your fingers, And all that you know, I’ll be there standing next to you," the lyrics capture the unpredictability of life and the feeling that things may slip from our grasp. However, the central theme is the enduring presence of support, standing alongside the person no matter what they face. The chorus is a powerful declaration of support: "Holding you so you can stand, Telling you that 'you can'." It underscores the idea that together, we can face any challenge that comes our way. The verse, "Your strength gives me hope, That's why I can cope," reflects the reciprocal nature of community. It's about finding inspiration and strength in each other. The pizzicato section adds a unique touch to the song, emphasizing the theme of being there when needed, encouraging the person to reach out for help when they're overwhelmed. As the song progresses, it becomes an anthem of encouragement, reminding the listener that they are not alone in their journey. It offers solace in times of uncertainty, with lines like "When you're feeling lost, and you don't know what to do, I'll be there to remind you, that I'm here for you." Ultimately, "Next To You" is a heartfelt promise to always stand by someone's side, providing love and support to help them navigate life's challenges. The repetition of "I'm right here" at the end reinforces the unwavering commitment to being a constant presence in their life.
