funk
[Verse 1] I'm sorry you lost your stepping stone But girl you've got so much more And in time you'll see the reason And what it was all for You walk with so much grace And your spirit has touched my soul And 74 Kingscliff St has missed you It just hasn't felt whole [Chorus ] Sometimes the loss feels bigger than the gain As it rips your heart out and fills your heart with pain But the truth is it's only a moment Such a short space of time And you'll come through it And be perfectly fine [Verse 2] So always remember I'm always here My door always open To protect you from fear So let the sun shine again upon your beautiful face And reclaim your life And own your wonderful space [Chorus ] Sometimes the loss feels bigger than the gain As it rips your heart out and fills your heart with pain But the truth is it's only a moment Such a short space of time And you'll come through it And be perfectly fine [Outro ] You'll be perfectly fine You'll be perfectly fine Yeah, you'll come through it And be perfectly fine

Inspiration
This funk composition was inspired by a heartfelt message of encouragement to someone experiencing loss. The original prompt captures a deeply personal moment—referencing a specific location (74 Kingscliff St) that holds emotional significance—transforming it into a universal anthem about overcoming hardship. The funk groove provides an uplifting counterpoint to the emotional vulnerability of the lyrics, embodying the song's core message that pain, while intense, is merely a passing moment on the journey toward healing.
Emotional Impact
The song creates a powerful dichotomy between its groovy, uplifting funk instrumentation and its emotionally vulnerable lyrics, generating a sense of hopeful resilience. Listeners experience validation of their pain while simultaneously being lifted by the narrator's steadfast belief in their recovery. The repetitive affirmation in the outro—"You'll be perfectly fine"—creates a cathartic, affirming emotional arc that transforms despair into determined optimism.
