  • Shirt

    I'm thrilled to finally be selling my first t-shirt. It was very important to me for these to be sustainably produced, so they're screenprinted on Everywhere Apparel white Ts, which are made out of recycled cotton. They generate ~1/5 the carbon footprint to produce and they're also made in the US to reduce shipping distance.

    Designed by my friend Sara Enright, I'm so proud of how they turned out <3

I send another message Maybe he’ll respond It’s been a couple days now He’s been so withdrawn Maybe it’s all over Or is he playing hard to get I just keep on squeezing Until there’s nothing left I scared him off I scared him off Came on a little too strong like I always do I scared him off I scared him off Asking for too much too soon I see him in the faces Of every blue-eyed boy We had so much potential So much to destroy Outside on that blanket I said it was profound This was something special Look at what we found I scared him off I scared him off Came on a little too strong like I always do I scared him off I scared him off Asking for too much too soon I scared him off Just like everyone before In the game of love I am always keeping score Oh, what’s the rush Why can’t we just explore? I scared him off I scared him off Came on a little too strong like I always do I scared him off I scared him off Asking for too much too soon I scared him off I scared him off Came on a little too strong like I always do I scared him off I scared him off Asking for too much too soon Asking for too much too soon

about

How Lucky You Are is Stefan Weiner's first full-length album. The record is an ode to silver linings, all the learning that can come from difficult times, and how the lighter stories in between are made ever more sweet by their hard bookends. Sometimes the greatest gifts are wrapped in the ugliest paper. Stefan spent years finding his way back to folk music after a year's long struggle with chronic pain that kept him from performing. Now fully recovered, Stefan was able to self-produce How Lucky You Are and play nearly all the instruments on the album. He does not take this newfound physical and musical freedom for granted. The songs and the album itself are proof of what can be overcome and the growth that happens along that journey.
