Singing my original song “innocence”

2024/12/7 Edited to

... Read moreSo many of you have been curious about 'Innocence' – who sings it, who wrote it, and what it’s all about. Well, I'm absolutely thrilled to share a deeper dive into this special song with you! It truly holds a unique place in my heart, and getting to share its acoustic version feels incredibly personal. I crafted 'Innocence' during my unforgettable time in Nashville, a city that just vibrates with musical energy and storytelling. There’s something profoundly inspiring about being surrounded by so much talent and history that makes you want to pour your authentic self into every note. The concept for 'Innocence' didn't just come to me in a flash; it was a slow burn of reflection. I found myself thinking a lot about those pristine, untouched moments in life, that pure, unburdened state of mind. And then, how those feelings inevitably encounter the complexities and sometimes harsh realities of the world. It’s about that delicate dance between holding onto what's inherently good and navigating the challenges that might make you feel like your 'innocence taken.' Or perhaps, it's about rediscovering a 'u playful innocence' even after experiencing life's ups and downs. When I was *singing a song I wrote*, especially this one, my main goal was to convey honesty and raw emotion. That’s precisely why I felt compelled to share this particular acoustic version. Stripping the song back to just my voice and guitar allows the core melody and the heartfelt message of 'Innocence' to truly resonate without any distractions. For me, the songwriting process is often a very intimate, almost meditative experience. It usually starts with a strong feeling or a compelling phrase, and then the melody gradually emerges to meet those words. With 'Innocence,' it was a journey of finding the perfect chords and rhythm that could echo that sense of delicate strength and profound vulnerability. As an independent artist, every single song I release feels like a piece of my personal story, a snapshot of my artistic evolution. Writing 'Innocence' and then having the courage to share it, particularly in this stripped-down acoustic format, is very much a part of that #embracevulnerability journey I constantly strive for. There’s an immense, almost indescribable satisfaction in being the one who made the song Innocence from its very first lyrical spark to its final, performed rendition. It’s not just a song; it’s a commitment, a passion project, and truly a labor of love that I hope connects with you. I genuinely hope that when you listen to 'Innocence,' you can forge your own personal connection to its message. Perhaps it will stir memories of a specific time in your life, or prompt you to reflect on the inherent beauty and sometimes fragile nature of innocence itself. While I can't publish the full 'innocence song lyrics' here, I wholeheartedly encourage you to lend an attentive ear to the words and allow them to resonate within your own experiences. It's been incredibly rewarding to witness how different listeners interpret the themes and find their own meaning in the music. Your engagement and support mean the absolute world to me as an aspiring #singer and #songwriter. If you enjoyed hearing about the inspiration and process behind 'Innocence,' please don't hesitate to share your thoughts in the comments below! What does the concept of 'innocence' mean to you in your own life?

They’re 11 years old. Not grown. Not “fast.” Not teenagers. This conversation about 11-year-old Black girls wearing barrettes and bows is exactly why we need to talk about the adultification of Black girls. Since when is a child looking like a child a problem? Barrettes. Beads. Hair bows.
