This song was inspired by the novel, Sense and Sensibility. At the beginning of last summer, I made it my goal to read all of Jane Austen’s books in order of their release. Pride and Prejudice had already been a favorite of mine, so I thought, why not read the rest of Austen’s novels? First on my list was Sense and Sensibility. I loved the Dashwood sisters so much. I found myself especially drawn to Elinor. At the time of reading the book, I was 19, the same age as Elinor Dashwood, and my younger sister was the same age as Marianne Dashwood, 17. Marianne was the wild, lively, hopeless romantic and Elinor was the constantly in her head, orderly, older sister. I saw myself in Elinor. She had this war in her mind throughout the story, trying to figure out if the man she loved loved her back, or if it was all in her head. She didn’t let anyone around her know the constant turmoil she felt for the majority of the story. I feel there are a lot of overthinkers who could relate.
While structuring the song, I wanted it to show Elinor’s thought progression. At the beginning of the book, Elinor falls for Edward and, to her knowledge, he is a single man. The song starts after Elinor has learned that Lucy Steele has been secretly engaged to Edward for four years. She tries to convince herself to be happy for the pair and that Edward never intentionally led her on; surely, she misunderstood his feelings. As we shift into the next verse, we get to see more of Elinor’s feelings on the subject. Lucy starts bringing up her engagement to Elinor intentionally, trying to get a reaction out of her, but Elinor is determined to be a good friend and stay level headed. As the chorus states: “Think with your head, not with your heart.” However, when we reach verse 3, Elinor’s true feelings begin to show even more. We hear more of her agitation with Lucy as well as her suspicions that Lucy is marrying Edward for all the wrong reasons (for his large inheritance). The bridge is the crisis of the story structure, building to the climax. Elinor hears rumors of the pair’s marriage and thinks it’s all over. But this is a Jane Austen book, and Jane loves to give her characters happy endings after a little trouble.
“Sense will always have attractions for me." - Elinor Dashwood, Sense and Sensibility, Chapter 10

How funny that my own love story falls in a similar vein to this one.
The silent pining. Hearing that someone else is “in love” with him, though he isn’t sure about his feelings. But she shows herself unworthy of his attention.
“Think with your head,” because my heart is hurting. I don’t care if he’s mine. I just want the best for him.
No bouquets are tossed, instead it’s my graduation cap. It’s his congratulations to me, then we part ways. I cry my heart out alone in my room as I pack everything away and tell myself it wasn’t to be.
Then that summer, I receive his message. And just like that, everything changes.
We have been together for nearly two years now. By God’s grace we will marry one day. And still, I am left amazed at this dream come true 🩷
I’m so happy for you! Thank you for sharing your story
This song is a true classic.
I love the classical piano at the beginning. A great touch to start a fabulous song.
I love it! Can’t wait to listen to the rest of them!
the ending is giving Love Story
I love the classical style is so beautiful!
Thank you so much!!
I love it 😢 I cried
Oh my goodness. I got goosebumps in the chorus. You just keep getting better!!! ❤❤❤ This is so beautiful. This is somehow different from your other songs, and I love ittttt. Woah
Thank you!
Wow! That was truly fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!
❤ my favorite song love love this one 😢
Besides this being an awesome song,
This has major "Speak Now" vibes, I mean: being in love, the guy marrying someone else but calling it off last minute... etc.
And I have to say- this song does that concept way better in my opinion! You can tell the relationship means a lot to both of the people. You're an amazing songwriter! Gonna be blasting this and make my family listen as well...
That is SUCH a big complement, thank you :') Speak Now is my favorite album of all time and is what inspired me to start singing so that means SO MUCH!! Thank you
👏👏👏 sounds amazing!!
This is gorgeous. I started following your music in 2020, and at that point it became one of my goals to learn one of your songs. Literally. Your music literally inspired me through singing, guitar, and ukulele. Last Tuesday, I got to perform your "Veranda", a song of yours that meant a ton to me due to my experiences that happened near the release of that song. Thank you for your music. You have no idea the literal changes you've made in my life.
Very sweet
That means so much to me to hear I've impacted someone that :') Thank you for sharing your story and for listening to my music for so long! It's surreal to hear that my music inspired you with your own musical journey and that is SO COOL that you performed Veranda. It means so much because I have been inspired by artists and it's crazy to hear someone could be inspired by my music in the same way :) Thank you for being here
Love the piano at the beginning.
Truly a great song!
Really nice musical piece.
