Peach Tree by Santa Chiara
This is a song of pure nostalgia about being in Nashville and taking care of what we thought was a dead peach tree in our first house backyard. Turns out, with some love, we were able to save it and spending time there, listening to the same cardinal bird singing everyday, walking our side of town and driving around listening to our favorite music wasn’t so bad of a lifestyle. This song was born in two steps: I initially wrote the music solo and it felt so joyful and had almost like a relief feeling to it. Then, 3 years later, I watched a video of me and Ron running around that tree and playing fetch, right before the combination tornado plus covid hit Nashville. I felt sad, nostalgic and happy at the same time. I wrote lyrics. Words felt right on that music. Here's peach tree.

Lyrics
You know might be a crazy thought
but I’ve got a gut and I am a little cork
the bird east side is telling me to go outside
There are brighter times to be alive
not to waste anybody's time
but I think might be worthwhile
Don’t you see
it is now just you and me
You look so tired darling my dear no
don’t live in fear
Finally we saved this pink peach tree
I thought I’d never seen it outside
of my own dream
Simplicity might be the key
to the golden life we want to live
drive around and walk our side of town
Our souls are just like plants and seed
they need good care some love and breeze
I feel this might be more than just a dream
Don’t you see it is now just you and me
You look so tired darling my dear no
don’t live in fear
Finally we saved this pink peach tree
I thought I’d never seen it outside
of my own dream
