The story behind the song

This is my wedding-day gift to my groom. We met over the last seat on a delayed train. Later came a crooked bookshelf, a burned dinner and an apartment that already felt like home. Before anything important, we squeeze each other’s hand twice. I want this song to promise that I will keep choosing our ordinary Tuesdays.

The song began with these details:

  • Meeting over the last seat on a delayed train
  • A crooked bookshelf assembled together
  • Burned dinner in an apartment that already felt like home
  • Two hand squeezes before important moments

From the lyrics

The train was late, the platform crowded

One last seat between us there

Forever came in quietly

On an ordinary Tuesday
