I wrote this song right before I quit my job in radio, to remind myself of what’s possible.
Because sometimes you can feel so clearly which direction you want to go, and still keep telling yourself to stay where it’s safe.

Taking the leap changed my life, and this song gave me the courage.

Posting this feels very vulnerable, but as part of sharing my process, I love letting you hear it. The imperfection, the rawness, the becoming.

Lyrics:

This is for the me, who dares to be free
Can you feel it? Cause I can.

Everyday I get a little closer 
See my life like I am the composer
Hesitant, still look over my shoulder
Every step I get a little bit bolder

Yesterday I felt it all so clear
I saw a mind that was run by fear
Whispers in the back, I didn’t wanna hear
Honestly I felt insincere

But in a flash, I had an epiphany
What if life, could be like a symphony 
Everyday, straight to infinity
Create from scratch a brand new identity

Yeah, I felt oh so free
What, is this a brand new me?
Please, can we just all agree?
Wow, this is my destiny

Release the fear and do it anyway
And replay and replay and replay
Try not to stress and take it day by day
Some will be pink, some will be grey

Put yourself out there on full display
Don’t let nobody take your joy away
And if you ever feel like a cliche
Just remember, you got something to say

Yeah, I felt oh so free
What, is this a brand new me?
Please, can we just all agree?
Wow, this is my destiny

Dare To Be Free

On a journey to make music after being a radio-dj for 15 years. Still love playing / listening to your music, now also creating my own.
