It was the winter of 2001-2002. 💙 I felt like the music I was making wasn’t good enough, wasn’t catchy enough, wasn’t poppy enough; it was too spiritual, too indie, too “me.” I wanted to write something that people would like. I wanted to be “successful.” So this was the song born of my desire to fit into mainstream music. I still think it’s catchy, it has great production, but almost every moment of it is two-dimensional to me. I have it positioned as track 5, chakra 5, the throat chakra represented by the blue color, as a symbol of a blocked throat chakra saying words and singing songs that don’t align with my purpose or soul’s expression. I put this out here as a message to myself to never again make something to try to please the powers that be, to never make art for the purpose of being liked or making money, and to always be fully authentic, fully from my spirit, no matter what happens or doesn’t happen. And so it is! 🦋
