Me rearranged (with strings)

Album Title: He Gave Me Shoes
Artist: Neesie Welch
Genre: Soulful Singer-Songwriter / Spiritual Folk / Emotional Balladry
Description:
He Gave Me Shoes is a raw, unflinching journey through heartbreak, clarity, and sacred reclamation. Across ten emotionally precise songs, the album traces the arc of loving someone who hid behind silence—and the deeper act of choosing yourself when they won’t choose truth.
These aren’t breakup songs. They’re truth songs. Each track is a reckoning: with betrayal, with silence, with the ache of “almost,” and with the divine voice that says, You’re not broken—you’re becoming.
From the quiet devastation of The Truth Behind Your Eyes to the spiritual fire of the title track, this album walks through grief without flinching. It names the pain, honors the love, and refuses to carry what was never yours to hold. The final song, He Gave Me Shoes, is both a benediction and a boundary—a reminder that God doesn’t always send rescue. Sometimes, He sends someone who knows how to crawl in and walk out with you.
This is an album for anyone who’s ever loved deeply, lost cleanly, and risen sacred.

The Truth Behind Your Eye

Almost Wasn't Enough

I Would’ve Stayed

I’ve Done It Myself

I’m Not Waiting Anymore

I Don’t Need the Ending

He Never Planned to Tell Me

I See You Now

He Gave Me Shoes

Better Late Than Never

I'm a genre-blending songwriter, worship leader, and spiritual storyteller. My sound doesn’t fit inside a typical Christian or Gospel box—it’s rooted in clarity, truth, and lived experience. I write music that’s raw, educational, and anchored in Scripture, often shaped by the emotional highs and lows of walking through this world with Jesus by my side.
Yes, I’ve written songs as I'm learning to surrendering fully to Him—and no, I’m not perfect now. I’m human, growing in His ways daily. But I won’t write anything that opens doors to darkness. Every lyric is intentional. Every track is a reflection of the healing, insight, and truth I’ve found—and want others to find too.
I'm a nurse by day, and helping people has always been at my core. Music is simply another way I do that now—through truth, through grace, through sound.

Better Late Than Never
