WHOT Episode 159 – “Distance” by Emily King

Hosted by Mangus Khan

[A gentle guitar riff floats in—familiar, forgiving. Emily’s voice is clean and aching.]

“WHOT.

Late Night Grooves.

I’m Mangus Khan.

And tonight… we make space.

After everything we’ve walked through—
The weight. The rage. The unraveling.
There comes a moment when you don’t want to fight anymore.

You just want to breathe.

Emily King – “Distance.”

This track isn’t about drama.
It’s not about breaking.

It’s about acceptance.

“It’s not what we wanted, but let’s take a minute…”

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do—
Is let go without bitterness.

Not because it didn’t matter.
But because you finally realize you do.

Emily’s voice doesn’t beg.

It understands.

The melody is clean.
The message is clear:

Some connections stretch so far, they just disappear.

And that’s not failure.

That’s life.

This track is the quiet in-between.
Between heartbreak and healing.
Between holding on and moving forward.

It’s not the answer.

It’s the breath you take before trying again.

And WHOT honors that breath.

Episode 159.
Emily King.
Distance.

I’m Mangus Khan.

Still soft.
Still strong.
Still here.”
