"The Long Drive" is a poignant and introspective song that tells the story of someone embarking on the most challenging journey of their life. As they set out on this fateful drive, they grapple with the heart-wrenching clarity that this is the end of a familiar chapter. The song captures the emotional turmoil as well as illustrating the profound impact this event will have on their life. However, as the song progresses, it transitions into a narrative of renewal and hope. The end of the old life becomes the gateway to a new beginning, and the promise of a brighter future. Through its evocative lyrics and stirring melody, "The Long Drive" portrays the bittersweet blend of endings and new starts, celebrating the strength found in moving forward.

All of the songs on H.E.R are based on real life events that women in my life have had to endure. I wanted the record to be an ode to their strength and their struggles!
