This is another song from Lily Bee‘s album Daydream at Midnight released just a little over a year ago. It’s called “Senior Letter” and resulted from a Sr Year assignment from her time in High School. True to her style, it’s a simple and charming watch of a simple and charming song. Check out the explanation in full below:
Filmed at Oxford Academy, my old high school. Class of 2005! (It feels like ages ago.)
Back in my senior year of high school, our English teacher Ms. Lutz had us write letters to ourselves, to be opened in 5 years. “I’ll mail it to you in five years,” she told us. I dismissed it as busy work, finished the assignment, and never thought about it again
Lo and behold, five years later (last year) when I was living in Maryland, the letter somehow found its way to me. I have no idea how.
Reading over my own words from 5 years back put me in a very reflective mood, which inspired this song. Here’s to growing up, living, learning, and staying true to yourself.
**The album version of the song says, “The view is clearer now from 22,” in the second verse because that’s how old I was when it was recorded.**
