walk in the sunlight

I’m excited. I get to record a new single tomorrow. Something I haven’t done since fall of 2019, before covid. I love the chords, and how everything has fit together. I love the message, to look to a bright shore and remember who you are along the way. I love the creative process. Something I haven’t given myself permission to do for a while, and it feels so good to be back in it.

I remember doing my 1st EP album. I was terrified. I thought the whole world was going to judge me or time would stop, or something terrible would happen, and what would I do then? My ego was taking over big time, and I was a mess at times. But I pushed through the fear, with a great support system behind me.

But this time…I don’t feel afraid. I feel elated to share what I have created with the world. It is good. Really good. And I love it. I love the chord progressions, the dissonance that resolves, the highs and the lows, the soft and loud parts. It just feels like my essence shining through it all and a gift only I can give because it comes from my heart. I realize my music isn’t for everyone, but I write and sing and play for the ONE. That one person that needs to hear this message. And sometimes that one person is me.
