Master the Lyric
Owning the Song
Creating A Road Map
If you’re anything remotely like I’ve been in my life, you might be thinking “This is so much more work than I really want to do! I mean, come on this only memorizing a song” Yes it’s a lot of prep to sing a song but to me it’s the difference between learning a song by rote or OWNING A SONG - Making it your OWN. Uncovering your soul's relationship on a song, or dropping deeper into the essence of your own songs.
I have had plenty of experiences of singing a song, long after writing it, where it takes on a new light or dark for that matter. In any given moment life throws us “curve balls or even knuckle balls” Life moves in a direction we did not plan on. Death of a sibling or parent, loss of a lover, loss of a job, loss of a friend, upset with people we know or don’t know…. the list goes on. When I sing “from” the midst of my life school being in session I can be, if I allow myself, a conduit of my highest self. It’s out of that vulnerability that I express more fully than I do when I am in my head “trying” to express something.
