I’ve really enjoyed writing new music inspired by sleep & dreaming as part of The Moon Project album (led by Jessica Henderson of Arrow to the Knee Productions), a collaborative album by women composers across Scotland!

I was particularly inspired by REMS science and wanted to create a lush, orchestral, dreamy soundscape as an exploration of new sounds for sleep – and it was a glorious chance to once again work with the wonderful Emma Donald on violin too.

Supported by Creative Scotland’s Inclusion Fund, The Moon Project brings together six female composers from Scotland to produce a 9 track album – Jessica Henderson, Joanna Gill, Andrea Possee, Emily Frances Ippolito, Caragh, and Luci Holland.

Reflexionstechnik (The Moon Project)

It’s 2am,
The bar is empty,
I’m bent over the jukebox
Playing songs that remind me
Of when we first met-
I don’t even drink,
But the smell of that beer
Reminds me of your skin.

Flawed;
So flawed were you and I.
Whilst you drank away your feelings
I always looked for reasons
To try and save you from yourself…
And all the while
You were saving someone else

Oh, I waited so long
For you to let me in…
Just to let me down.

Blindfolded I loved,
With nowhere to go-
Pink neon red cheeks,
As you moved with her slow.
Silent and still,
As the room danced around me-
I was stuck to the carpet
And every memory.

But today,
It seems I’ve woken up.
I poured out your wine,
You can no longer fill my cup.
I looked
Myself straight in the eye.
And in the bathroom of that bar.
Ill love myself for the first time.

Oh I waited so long
For you to let me in
Just to let me down-
And spit me out;
That spit you shared with her,
When I was sleeping in our bed…
And oh, I waited oh so long,
For you to let me in,
Just to let me down.

Jukebox

I'll lay down my pen and I'll pick up my sword
And I'll fight for each moment you thought I'd ignored
I'll follow the map you so carefully drew
I'll do anything that I need to do

To find you again, find you again, find you again
I will find you again, find you again, find you again
I will find you again.

In the tossing tide, the swirling fray
I've lost myself along the way
It may not be normal to let yourself sink
But water fills my lungs, and I cannot think

I'll find you again, find you again, find you again
I will find you again, find you again, find you again
I will find you again.

An attic of clutter, a basement that's locked
I know it would open, if only I knocked
I may not be ready to sort through it all
But it's pressing from both sides, and I feel so small

So find me again, find me again, find me again
Won't you find me again, find me again, find me again
Find me again.

Find You Again

Lyrics:
See him on Friday nights
After I'm full of wine
Seven years, hardly an age gap right?

Feeling more like a kid
Than my childhood ever did
Never been this good at being alive

Never a second guess
Let him take off my dress
We'll only be here a while

This might not last long
So I'll make it count
Soon here I'll have a mortgage to think about
Always wanted something like this

So we'll keep doing what we do
But I hope that you see the irony
You say that your brother is a fool to you
But he's only less than a year shy of me

Learning How To Love Me
(May 7/Week 44)
CAPO 5 F, C, Am, G
5.13.23

VERSE
every day i get to decide
the clothes on my body
and the words inside my mind 

when did i start telling myself lies 
of all the things to think 
why am i unkind 

PRE
push and fight
strike a match to burn out every time 
i know i’m not far behind
but my mind tells me otherwise 

CHORUS 
yeah i’m learning to love me
learning how to talk 
like i’m my best friend
calling when she’s lost 

i’m learning how to listen (soften)
when shes being hard 
saying all the things
that i knows shes not 

yeah i’m learning how to 
love love me
learning how to
love love me

VERSE
i’m standing tall 
i’m standing up high 
watching my thoughts like clouds in the sky 
and i know that it gets cold when the suns gone 
but i can always dance and let the storm rage on 

CHORUS 
yeah i’m learning to love me
learning how to talk 
like i’m my best friend
calling when she’s lost 

i’m learning how to listen (soften)
when shes being hard 
saying all the things
that i knows shes not

and i’m learning all her triggers
all the ways she copes
when she’s in the dark 
picking up her phone 

and when it gets hard
to like what i see
i remind myself 
i’m just learning
yeah learning how to 

yeah i’m learning how to 
love love me
learning how to
love love me



to face herself 

 but my mind likes to tell me otherwise

learning how to love me

Standing Strong
