Let Go (Hold On)

“It ends with me. It ends right now. No more shall we pass this down.” Singing this song feels like a spell or a prayer. At the time it was written, I had been doing a lot of work unlearning and healing the unhealthy conditioning passed down to me through generations of upbringing. We’re taught so many things and receive so many messages growing up. Not all of those things are helpful, and some of them are downright hurtful. While it’s nobody’s fault, I do believe it’s our responsibility to right the wrongs happening within our own minds so that we don’t pass on the poison to anyone else. “This begins a new way.”

Living Proof

Do you ever catch yourself imagining what other people must think of you? I used to torture myself creating images of people in my mind and writing script after script of horrible, deprecating diologue for them to say about me - as if it were the truth. As if that’s really what they must say about me when I’m not there. Yeah. Those fabricated doppelgangers in your mind that you create for your own punishment? Those are the puppet people.

Puppet People

Self-doubt can be absolutely crippling. This song is about perservering, even when you’re unsure. Even when you feel directionless and like you’ve lost all hope. Even if you have to take it ten seconds at a time. It’s about continuing on and finding your way home to yourself.

Home (Worth It)

This song is an authenticity anthem. “I am not a mistake,” has been a huge mantra for me. For so long, I felt like I was one big mistake. Like something wrong happened when they made me. But now I understand that’s not true at all. Your YOUest you is absolutely perfect. You are enough. You are not too much. “That’s the truth.”

The Truth

There’s a place inside of me where I feel the most ME. Where I feel unshakably grounded and centered. Where I feel connected to the rest of the universe. You could maybe call it my soul. I call it “The Seed.”

The Seed

Intimacy. Soulful sexuality. If you’re one of those people who cares more about genuine spiritual connection over physical equipment, this one’s for you.

Touch My Soul

When I write, it feels kind of like channeling. Sometimes it even feels weird to take credit for my own work because I wonder if they were even my thoughts... or if they were downloaded cosmically into my head or something. It’s like I’m listening to whispers from other worlds and “taking down their messages.”

Other Worlds

This song sounds like it’s about an unhealthy relationship, but it’s actually about obsessive thoughts. One time, my therapist suggested I radically accept my obsessive thoughts saying, “maybe you can just tell yourself: ‘okay, these thoughts are here renting out space in my head right now’.” My songwriter brain perked up at the analogy, and Pay Me Rent was born!

Pay Me Rent

“I came from the mountain; I live at the top.” When an individual begins to understand their true nature, it causes a ripple effect. The ones around them feel a shift, and they start to wake up to themselves, too. Then all of those people cause their own ripple effects that reach in wider and wider circles, and the chain reaction continues. What if we all gave ourselves permission to become truly authentic? Think of how far that ripple could go… That’s what The Mountain is all about.
