Not That Bad

Release date: 6/18/21

Immerse yourself in Piper King's ghostly sounds as you listen to her latest dream-pop love anthem “Not That Bad”. This 80s-inspired, synth-heavy, upbeat track is about the excitement and horror of real love. She sings about her own experiences with falling in love and all of its uniqueness, stresses, and joys. The song ends with a dreamy chant of love is not that bad to convey her message that true love is worth all trials and tribulations. Although it can be scary to commit to someone until death and beyond, the little things make it all worthwhile.

Lyric Highlights

You should know I was seeing you in every dream I had. Nothing compares to when we’re laughing in my bed...
Don't get in your head, just get in my bed. You know the rest...

October Sun

Release date: 2/22/21

Following the release of her debut single "My World" in January, Piper went hard to work to bring you her second single "October Sun". Here is her story behind the song:

Changing your personal world when the world around you is already changing rapidly and uncontrollably— that is what is highlighted in my second single “October Sun”.

Have you ever moved to a new place you were really excited about? A fresh start and a new environment to thrive in? But then the world shifts and you suddenly become drenched in a river of nostalgia for your life before. Even though you still love your new life and the place you live, you can’t help but long for the people and life you left behind. Especially in a pandemic where you can’t go back to visit those who made a huge impact on your life and the place that shaped this critical period.

I moved to California from Colorado right before the pandemic hit. I thought I hated Colorado in the short 4 years I lived there. I associated it with the stress of school and I felt I would never grow strong connections as I had in California. In my last year of living there, I built the strongest connections and made the most amazing friends of my entire life.

“Faces that I dreamt but when I woke up, they were all so real. I really don’t believe the life that was given to me— in a place so bleak and yet so bright”.

These are the faces of the friends I thought I’d never find in the stressful, unfamiliar, and often unwelcoming environment I was living in. The excitement of moving back to California, getting married, and starting my career as a music therapist was soon clouded by the October sunshine in California. The stasis of the seasons reminded me of what I left behind and unlocked feelings I was trying to push away for those first few months after moving. No matter what changes, life events, or global pandemics impact my life, the short time and amazing people I met in Colorado will always be an integral part of who I am and will always be.

My world

Release date: 1/9/21

Piper King made her debut with "My World" in January 2021. A piece ultimately about mental illness and its impact on love, here is what Piper has to say about the song that means the world to her:

Being married at a very young age isn’t easy. I got married in 2020, three weeks before the world went into lockdown. On top of a global pandemic, mental illness can make the pressures of marriage more intense than I like to admit. This is something I struggle to talk about, so I’ve fallen back on my always-dependable therapist: songwriting. “My World” is about being married to someone disabled by mental illness. It highlights not only the struggles of such a relationship, but also the light of love in those dark moments. As a person who also struggles with mental illness myself, its about empathy and never giving up on someone you love— no matter how hard it gets.

I’ll do anything for you” is chanted like a meditation in the chorus. I truly will do anything for the person I love, supporting them and letting our relationship grow stronger with every hardship. Invisible illnesses like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and OCD are so easily overlooked by society and even those closest to you. It's so hard to understand what other people go through on a daily basis. I often feel isolated and alone because of my partner's disability. My goal for this song is to reach others who are experiencing similar situations and let them know they are truly not alone.
