“Weary, but Still Standing” (Original) — Soulful Piano | Spoken Intro | Female Vocal

“Weary, but Still Standing” is an original piano-driven piece about what it really feels like to be tired as a woman — mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

There’s no chorus. No repetition. Just continuous verses that tell the truth about:

• invisible labor
• expectations
• quiet exhaustion
• emotional load
• social pressure
• identity
• self-recognition
• rest
• softness
• renewal

The song blends spoken intro, soulful gospel-jazz melisma, Kim Burrell-style runs + scats, and raw storytelling over soft stripped-down piano.

It’s for every woman who’s ever held it together when she was falling apart… and for every woman who needs permission to rest, to feel, and to just be human.

LYRICAL THEMES:
• exhaustion as a woman
• motherhood vs expectations (even if you’re not a mom)
• the “strong friend”
• invisible expectations
• feminine mental load
• permission to rest
• emotional honesty
• spiritual weariness
• resilience without glamorizing struggle

SOUND / STYLE:
• solo female vocal
• soft piano only
• no backgrounds, no harmonies, no chorus
• gospel-soul melisma + jazz scats
• spoken intro for storytelling energy

FOR THE WOMEN WHO FEEL:
✓ tired
✓ overwhelmed
✓ unseen
✓ emotionally drained
✓ but still standing
