Anneline Hugo - Stepping Stones

If someone asked me to name a standout track from my playlist, I’d have to mention Anneline Hugo – Stepping Stones. It’s not the only song I love, of course, but it’s one I simply can’t ignore — and for good reason.

Stepping Stones captivates with its honesty and emotional drive. There’s no pretense, no overcomplication — just pure, heartfelt expression. The melody carries a sense of tenderness and emotional clarity, unfolding like a deeply personal monologue. Anneline tells her story with patience and quiet intensity, first voicing her thoughts in a gentle register, then descending an octave as if to share something more intimate, before closing on high notes that feel almost childlike in their sincerity — like a child trying to show their mother just how much he is love her.

At its core, Stepping Stones is a song about love, sincerity, and inner peace. It reminds us how easy it is to lose touch with the simple, genuine emotions that come so naturally to children — their curiosity, their joy in discovery, their ability to live fully in each moment without fear of time slipping away. Their world is like a stream lined with stepping stones — you can keep leaping from one to the next forever, and it never loses its charm.

We were all like that once, and sometimes it’s worth remembering. Let Stepping Stones take you back to that feeling — to a place of honesty, wonder, and quiet joy.
