Day 9: “Crying As A First Language”

Creating original music, especially pieces that convey deep emotions like "Crying As A First Language," is a powerful way to connect with listeners. From my own experience, writing songs that express vulnerability can be both challenging and therapeutic. Often, the emotions come first—whether it’s sadness, joy, or hope—and the lyrics emerge as a natural way to communicate those feelings. Sharing music publicly, like posting daily or regularly, builds a unique bond with audiences who follow the creative process. It’s rewarding to see how a song gradually resonates or goes viral, as mentioned on Day 9 of this series. Using hashtags like #sing, #originalmusic, #sisters, #newmusic, and #forthegirls helps reach communities that celebrate creativity and shared experiences, especially empowering for female artists. What’s also inspiring is collaborating with siblings or close friends in music creation. The bond between sisters can add an authentic layer to the sound and message, making the song more relatable. If you’re on a similar creative journey, I suggest embracing the honest expression of your emotions through music. Don’t shy away from showing your true feelings, since that rawness often creates the strongest connection with listeners. Overall, "Crying As A First Language" stands as a reminder that sometimes, our first form of communication is pure emotion, and music is a beautiful way to translate that into something others can understand and feel deeply.
