Today, Mini Trees, the solo musical project of the Southern California born and Los Angeles based songwriter Lexi Vega, has shared “Cracks in the Pavement“. It’s the latest single from her upcoming debut album, Always In Motion, which will be released on September 17, 2021 via her new label home, Run For Cover Records.
“‘Cracks in the Pavement’ is a song that I began writing to process unrequited feelings towards a friend, but later evolved into a larger reflection on the lack and longing that I felt in my life at the time,” says Lexi. “The lyrics attempt to personify an unknown, alternate version of my life as I follow this vague character around in search of some sense of contentment, ultimately ending with the phrase, “if only anything was ever as it seemed”, a realization that the grass isn’t always greener, and that the discontentment I needed to confront was internal rather than circumstantial.”
