This song is a little haunting and a lot soulful. It’s something like a question and an answer rolled into one.

It’s brand new—I wrote it on Christmas and did what felt like 300 takes that night trying to get a performance I was happy with for Open Mic. This one I actually did the next morning, so the song was still not yet 24 hours old.

That seems to be how I roll.

I may have tossed a cartoon filter on the video to soften things, which I think goes with the dreamlike quality of the music. Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for listening!

You can also find my music on Choon, or just check out my last few posts, as they’re almost entirely music these days.

That’s okay by me.

I hope you’re having a wonderful holiday season, whatever you celebrate. I’m kinda relieved Christmas is over. Time to dance our way into a new year.

Whatever happens, keep singing your song!

Peace. @katrina-ariel
