I made this song-seed for a weekly songwriting project I'm involved with. The theme this week was ROOTS.

Stay Home 
Stay Home
Stay Home
Even as you roam

I wrote her a letter 
In hopes of a tether 
Togetherforever 
Sunset perpetual

Then something turned the pen in my hand 
Pointed it back at my heartland
Confessing a love unconditional 

I wandered the desert
To find a pill to kill the hurt 
But all roads ended at the temple

Three grandmas surrounded me 
Laid hands on me grounded me, pleading 
“Stay home, remember
Your roots are three dimensional”

Stay Home

Gotta love a Churchy Gospel-y Jesus song. Thanks for commissioning it Mom!

It Is Well With My Soul

Saturn Song is the soundtrack to Red Delicious, an immersive musical that journeyed thorugh the Sibley Volcanic Hills and swirled together in the Labyrinth under the full moon. It followed the stories of nine different womxn as they ran through this mythic world, undergoing their unique transmutations into release and freedom and love.

Newly mixed by Dillon Smith in Nashville. He rocked it! 


Let You Go

A friend told me what she knows about hydraulic fracturing (which is a lot) and I was sent into a rage which turned into determination to make a change which turned into despair and hopelessness which turned into (how this happened I'm not sure) serenity and hope. This most recent emotion is the one from which I wrote this song.
