There are moments when admiration reaches beyond language, when ordinary descriptions no longer feel sufficient to express how deeply someone is appreciated. With Should I Compare You To The Sky?, I wanted to explore that universal experience through music, using poetic imagery and cinematic sound to celebrate beauty that feels timeless, inspiring, and almost impossible to define.
Inspired by the poem of the same name, this four-track EP examines the deeply personal nature of beauty and the way love transforms perception. Rather than presenting beauty as something objective, the collection reflects on how genuine admiration elevates the smallest details into something extraordinary. Through celestial imagery, the project paints a portrait of devotion, where every glance, every memory, and every feature becomes part of a larger story of wonder and affection.
At the heart of Should I Compare You To The Sky? is a simple question: how does one describe someone whose presence seems to transcend words? The narrative answers by turning to the sky itself—a limitless canvas of light, color, and beauty. Flowing hair like wispy clouds, graceful eyebrows shaped like willow leaves, radiant eyes that burn brighter than the sun, a gentle face that is sharp like a crescent moon, and captivating lips that are moist like the air after a rainy day become poetic reflections of the heavens, illustrating how love often sees beauty in ways that cannot be measured or explained.
Rather than comparing physical appearance alone, the EP explores the emotional experience of admiration. It reflects the feeling of encountering someone whose presence inspires awe, where affection reshapes perception and transforms everyday moments into something unforgettable. In that sense, the sky becomes more than a metaphor—it becomes a symbol of beauty that feels infinite, peaceful, and endlessly inspiring.

With Should I Compare You To The Sky?, my goal was to create more than a series of alternate versions of one song.
