Hana started performing live in Montana at the age of 14 with just her acoustic guitar. In 2006, at age 16, one of Hana's performance DVDs reached producers and writers Michael "Fish" Herring and Ben Moody. Over the next 18 months - as Hana shuttled between Billings West High School to finish her senior year and Los Angeles to write and record - Fish, Ben, and Hana crafted her first solo CD. Hana spent the last 7 months of 2008 touring the USA with bands Live, Collective Soul, Blues Traveler, Joshua Radin, Graham Colton, Jon McLaughlin, Ingram Hill, Corey Smith and a 4 song EP from the writing and recording sessions. Her debut album, This Way, was released via her merchandise site on September 22, 2009, and will be available through iTunes in 2010.

Shadows
Hana Pestle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a cold wind
You creep like nightfall
Turning tomorrow into
Shadows in the dark
'Til nothing good remains
It's too late to forgive
For the life you stole from me
I've lost so much
In the vacuum of your hate
I'm left with only fear
And the memory of a life I'll never have
It's too much to forget now
It's too late to forgive
For the life you stole from me
It's too much to forget now
It's too late to forgive
For the life you stole from me
It's too much to forget now
It's too late to forgive
For the life you stole from me
Hana Pestle's "Shadows" tells the story of someone who is haunted by the aftermath of a toxic relationship. The opening line "You move slowly towards me like a cold wind" sets an eerie tone, suggesting that the person she is addressing is not someone she wants to see. As the song progresses, she describes how this person has turned her life into "shadows in the dark," leaving her with only fear and painful memories. The repetition of the lines "It's too much to forget now, it's too late to forgive," shows that she is struggling to move on from this experience, and perhaps even feels trapped by it.
The lyrics are simple yet powerful, conveying a sense of loss, betrayal, and pain. The imagery of shadows and darkness is particularly effective, as it adds a layer of depth to the emotions being expressed. The song is a reminder that even when we are hurt by someone else, we have the power to heal and move forward.
Line by Line Meaning
You move slowly towards me
You approach me with a slow and deliberate movement
Like a cold wind
Similar to a chilling gust of air
You creep like nightfall
You move in a stealthy and ominous manner
Turning tomorrow into
Causing a future time to become
Shadows in the dark
A state of obscurity and gloominess
'Til nothing good remains
Until there is only negativity left
It's too much to forget now
The amount to be forgotten is insurmountable at this point
It's too late to forgive
Forgiveness is no longer an option
For the life you stole from me
Because you took away my existence
I've lost so much
I have suffered a great deal of loss
In the vacuum of your hate
Within the emptiness of your animosity
I'm left with only fear
All that remains is terror
And the memory of a life I'll never have
And the recollection of a life that will never come to fruition
It's too much to forget now
The amount to be forgotten is insurmountable at this point
It's too late to forgive
Forgiveness is no longer an option
For the life you stole from me
Because you took away my existence
It's too much to forget now
The amount to be forgotten is insurmountable at this point
It's too late to forgive
Forgiveness is no longer an option
For the life you stole from me
Because you took away my existence
