The Long Kind
Indie Pop

"You're not my fire. You're the vine. You're the long kind."

This is a song about love that doesn’t flash — but holds.

Not the cinematic kind with fireworks and fights. But the real, slow, grounding kind. The kind that grows in the quiet.

Inspired by the psychology of love — Berscheid & Walster’s theory of passionate vs. companionate love — The Long Kind is for anyone who's stayed, chosen, and shown up.

“The affection we feel for those with whom our lives are deeply intertwined.” — Companionate Love

If you’ve ever chosen love in the ordinary… If you know the warmth of simply being seen... This one's for you.
