Her influences for this song include Tenney Park, Madison native Alicia Lemke of Alice in the Glass Lake, author Brené Brown, comedian Lane Moore and all the badass femme and queer musicians she's ever encountered. 

Music description: Femme vocals and rock-punk guitar. 

SLove, Finally

You are doing good things, good things, good things 

You are doing good things for yourself

There are times have been times

When nothing in this world is feeling right

It always changes, rest your mind

And there are times

When you can't make it work for all your might

Just give it space, let it align

You are doing good things, good things, good things 

You are doing good things for yourself

There was a time

When you were fighting, fighting to survive

You made it out of there alive

You made the best choices with the data you had at the time

You always handle it alright

You are doing good things, good things, good things 

You are doing good things for yourself

You made it out

In a world you knew nothing about

You fucking badass, take a bow

You made it through 

All the karma they foisted on you

I love you the most, have no doubt

Guitar break

You are doing good things, good things, good things 

You are doing good things for yourself

SLove, Finally

From the Tone Madison "Contributors" fundraising mixtape available on Bandcamp.

I wrote this song 10 years ago during the first winter I lived in Madison. Living in Central America and on the East Coast previously, I had forgotten from my Illinois roots that I basically never get warm all winter. Since, I have become wise in the ways of merino base layers and parkas.
