Heaven’s Weight
Indie Pop
6/13/2025
"So when you’re left with nothing true. It’s just the start of finding you."
Sometimes, what feels like life breaking you... is life building you.
Heaven’s Weight was inspired by a powerful idea from the Chinese philosopher Mencius:
“When Heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on someone, it first tests them with suffering... to strengthen their mind, harden their nature, and correct their shortcomings.”
We don’t usually see pain, failure, or frustration as blessings. But maybe they are. Maybe the struggle isn’t the thing in the way — maybe it is the way.
This song is for that moment when you’re bent, exhausted, doubting everything — and somehow, you keep going.
It’s not about being broken. It’s about being forged.
