When I came up with the first few lyrics and part of the chorus for this song that would eventually become Infinitely back in mid-late 2000’s, I originally thought that it would end up becoming a ballad for the love of my life, once finished. That idea went untouched, gathering dust, nearly forgotten, until I rediscovered it along with many of my other nearly forgotten treasures back in 2021. It begged to be finished, and as I began to cultivate the rest of the song, it quickly became apparent to me that the ballad was not intended for my husband, but for our youngest child, who did not come into our lives until years after the idea had come to me and I had tucked my music away somewhere in the back of my mind. I will never forget the moment when it occurred to me that this song was not meant to be finished when I first got the idea, because the person for whom it was intended had not been born, yet. It was meant to be finished after experiencing pregnancy losses, the anxiety and fear that accompany nine months of pregnancy after those losses, and the joy and gratitude that accompany the miracle of childbirth, particularly after experiencing loss. Infinitely, one of my proudest works, is dedicated to my youngest love, and to every mother out there who has experienced childbirth after pregnancy and infant loss. 🌈 Full lyric video on YouTube.
