Timeless
“I love you past, I love you future, I love you now”
A song for my friends, Elissa & Dan.
It is an honor to share this song and story with you. It’s a song that I am so proud to have written.
Feeling inspired doesn’t always come easily and it’s not something you can force. It’s something that you hope to be able to capture when you are lucky enough to stumble upon an idea that you know will resonate with people. Well, thats exactly what happened here.
My friends, Elissa & Dan, had a small private wedding during COVID. I saw their wedding photo online and was just blown away. It looked futuristic, historic, and relevant, simultaneously. It was also perfect to their unique style, different than any typical wedding photo. Elissa was wearing what looked like an orange linen dress, and Dan was wearing an “old timey” tweed looking suit with an Indiana Jones hat. Very cool… very them.
I messaged Elissa and said, “You two look like the past, the present and future all at once”
She wrote: “did you just write us a song?”
“I love you past, I love you future, I love you now” became the chorus. The whole song came together very quickly. You see, I had always admired and looked up to Elissa and Dan in so many ways. They were already an inspiration to me. Elissa has been my friend since high school. She was the type of friend who you always knew was genuine in their love. The type of friend that was there for me in every major challenge of my life. Dan became the same kind of friend to me from the moment I met him.
They created a life together that was free from anything that would distract them from their goal of living simply and in the moment. They enjoyed nature and just being together. As someone who has always had anxiety about my life, path, or goals, I truly admired their ability to be so confident in the here and now. Because of my love for these two, it was easy to let this photo take complete control of the song… it practically wrote itself. It became about a love that was not bound by space or time, but existed in the past, the future and the present. I imagined that these time traveling lovers weren’t bound by the limits of space or time, but were in some way, tethered to each other… “timeless tethered hearts.”
In a tragic turn of events, Elissa sadly passed away just before Christmas, and just days before her 39th birthday. Although I knew she had been dealing with breast cancer, it just never crossed my mind that we could lose her. It’s been difficult trying to understand how this world can be so unfair. Elissa was such a wonderful friend to me and many others who were lucky enough to have crossed paths with her. I absolutely loved her, and was so lucky to have her as a friend for so many years.
It’s hard for me to listen to this song, and even harder to perform it now. But I will continue to do so as a way to honor the impact that she and Dan had on my life, and to honor her inspiring and timeless existence on this planet.
I hope that you all love this song as much as I do, and I hope that when you listen to it you will be inspired by the love story that Elissa and Dan shared with each other and the universe.
Timeless - For Elissa & Dan
I love you past, I love you future, I love you now…
