How to say “If I were in your shoes” in Italian
Experiencing perspective and privilege when you travel
👟 To put yourself in someone else’s shoes

Not gonna lie - this one is hard to say. But that’s kind of the point.
Try saying it out loud, to feel a micro version of what it’s like to be in a new place, speaking a new language.

Danny’s songwriting does that - gives voice to stories we don’t usually hear, and this one especially moved me. Would you take 2 seconds to vote for his song?
