Openness becomes an art form in Lewis Parke’s new single, “Maybe”, a song that manages to feel intimate and universally relatable. Penned in the sun on an old acoustic guitar, the same one heard on the recording “Maybe”, possesses that authenticity you can’t fake. Each chord, each breath seems soaked with personal reflection and quiet resilience.
“Maybe” is a song about hesitation that frosty nether region between fear and self-belief. Parke exposes his inner world, the self-doubt and indecision that often haunt the creative soul. But instead of wallowing there, the song nudges toward light. The repeating word “maybe” emerges as a stark image, a wisp of potential, a warning that doubt is not truth, and hope can find purchase even in the unwritten.
Parke keeps it nicely stripped back. The acoustic guitar, warm, organic, and sun-soaked, provides the perfect backdrop to his earnest singing. There is a peaceful authenticity to the tone, the kind that makes you want to lean in and feel every word. It’s a quiet anthem for everyone who has ever doubted their value but still found the strength to keep making, keep dreaming.
“Maybe” is not just a song, it’s a conversation with oneself and an ace in the hole when you need to tell yourself that belief frequently originates with one thought, maybe I can.
