Finding Peace is a lyrical song with inspiration taken from working with someone who was struggling with anxiety and depression.  Melanie Moushigian Koulauris said “It takes great courage to find inner peace. When you find forgiveness within for yourself and others, you release deep rooted pain, bitterness, and worry that has been cluttering your heart and mind. When you realize it's time to let go and move on from painful past experiences, it is then you will be able to sit and enjoy the silence and stillness of your soul.”  This song looks to find balance in a world of chaos, shutting out the noise of the world around us and finding happiness, peace and contentment within ourselves.  

Each section of this song builds, just as our anxiety and nerves can build up. However, as each section ends the dynamics return to a controlled state showing how we “find peace” within ourselves and we don’t let our anxiety grow to a point where we can’t handle the world around us.
