The Meaning Behind “Near Love”
Some connections change us forever, even if they never become what we imagined.
“Near Love” came from that space between what could have been and what was. The feeling of meeting someone who leaves an impact on your life, but for whatever reason — the timing, circumstances, or choices — it never fully becomes a relationship.
That feeling needed a name.
“Near Love felt like the perfect way to describe that place — not heartbreak, not a lost love, but the space just before love.”
How “Near Love” Came Together
The song started from something simple: a conversation.
There was no grand plan or formula. It was just an idea that turned into a song.
Before we knew it, Shane had written the song, we were together in the studio recording it, and somehow a finished track existed.
Sometimes the best collaborations happen naturally — without forcing the process.
Creating the Sound of “Near Love”
From the beginning, the focus was emotion over structure.
We weren’t trying to create a song built around a predictable hook or follow a formula. The goal was to capture a feeling — something that felt effortless and familiar.
- Like a late-night drive.
- A quiet conversation.
- A memory that stays with you long after the moment has passed.
The melody was built around that feeling first.
The Story Inside the Lyrics
“Near Love” explores the moments we all carry with us:
- The person we almost loved
- The conversation we never had
- The message we never sent
- The memories that return unexpectedly
It’s not a song about losing love.
It’s about the strange beauty of almost finding it.
Recording “Near Love”
The recording process was about keeping the emotion honest.
Instead of filling every space, we allowed the vocals, instruments, and atmosphere to breathe.
The intention was to create the feeling of being in the passenger seat on a quiet night drive through the city — watching memories pass by.
