Chapter 1 - Wekepeke

This song reflects on growing up in Sterling and the way certain places and memories become the foundation for storytelling later in life. Returning to a childhood spot by the river, the song searches for a rope swing that once felt thrilling and almost mythical, now lost or gone. Through the memory of a friend taking a risky jump into the water—and emerging unharmed—the song captures a mix of fear, relief, and humor, while also marking a moment of personal growth. It’s about how childhood places hold onto meaning even after they change or disappear, and how they continue to shape perspective long after the moment has passed.
