New(ish) Music

I made this song autumn of 2022. When I first came up with the melody/lyrics, I was outside near my apartment, walking around with my baby niece, and the weather was nearly perfect. We hung out by some trees and I felt close to nature in that moment. Like, we’re born out of the earthContinue reading “New(ish) Music”

What Happened to the Heart?

So I don’t usually do anything like write posts about music albums, but…I’ve been listening to this album multiple times a week since it was released in June, 2024 (see: I’m obsessed with it). And it feels incredibly important to, like, humanity. So I wanted to make a post about it. The music essentially asks,Continue reading “What Happened to the Heart?”

My New Favorite Song

“The State of the World” by Kalandra was released just yesterday, and I’m kind of obsessed with it. It’s a plea to the planet. A hunt for peace. The music video’s lovely, the singing’s on point, the piano and strings work together harmoniously… I personally struggle to describe the sound of music in words, butContinue reading “My New Favorite Song”

Spirit Underwater

There’s a spirit underwater, and a fire in the wind, if we’re drowning under tide call I am landfall to your skin. There’s a lost boy In your halo hoping you’ll remember him, if we’re weeping I’m the downpour of your whim — There’s a flame in the river here, there’s bold witches in theContinue reading “Spirit Underwater”

A Song to Thank You

Yes, I listened to a Christmas song in August. “Thank You” by Pentatonix Oh, Lord, it’s been a yearWith little joys and little fearsIt’s finally here, Christmas dayMy love, I need some hopeA little faith, a hand to holdIt’s awfully cold, Christmas day —Watch the snow fall down like me sometimesBut you pick me upContinue reading “A Song to Thank You”

Hello and Goodbye Forever

I shared this article a couple months ago. Since then, I made a song with (almost) the same name and similar themes. –lyrics– (intro) Take me to the battlefield take me to the ash fields–let the hungry come, feed them bitten stars (bitten stars, bitten–) falling to lost paradise (verse 1) Pa pa-ee pa pieContinue reading “Hello and Goodbye Forever”

Follow Me to the Hollow

Follow me to the hollow in the wood where we could talk until dawn. Run unto the sun inside our galaxy where we could be free. Chase me to the place under the sea, I ever ask you to be true. — Take me to the wilds, our picnic place on Pluto, the mushrooms inContinue reading “Follow Me to the Hollow”

I Am Worthy

Le le le aviar le le le pajaro le le estoy volando — Given or taken, handed or earned given or taken, blessings you termed. — I tell you, I am worthy. Your words make a prison in my heart, the crow caged by expectations sings so soft in here. You don’t know the tunesContinue reading “I Am Worthy”

Tethered to the Earth

tethered to the earth she who gave us birth taste the metal’s worth dancing with all mirth — We need stinging green Blossom bright like baby beans Call the sun to share her warmth Planet earth, we’re coming forth — tidal waves we’ve wept caverns grown unkempt we scream from the depths: dying for ourContinue reading “Tethered to the Earth”

Running Up That Hill

I watched Stranger Things season 4 two months ago–I’m late to the party, I know–and since then, I’ve re-watched that iconic scene in episode 4 (if you know, you know) at least 5 times. So a couple weeks ago, I finally did something about my mild obsession and made a cover of Running Up ThatContinue reading “Running Up That Hill”
