Anniversary · Rnb

Our first year married and you were two states away for most of it — remember? I do, mostly as airports. That first second I'd spot you at arrivals and just drop everything and run — it made every lonely week in between worth it. Now you're home for good and I keep catching myself grinning about it. Every one of those airport hellos, baby — every flight, every gate, every hug that put me back together. No more goodbyes. Happy anniversary. I love you.

Song story

Background

Ella is 28, and she and her husband Jacob spent their first married year long-distance while he finished a contract two states away. What carried her through was every airport pickup — that first hug at arrivals that made all the in-between worth it. Now that he's home for good, she made a warm, soulful R&B song about all those airport hellos.
