How It Really Does Feel
Posted on August 8, 2008 by michelle
I find it amusing/interesting that the lyrics to some of my songs mirror the things happening in my life - A LOT! I guess it’s no surprise really since the music I write is about things that are important in my life. Case in point: I just got back from a quick but exhausting trip to Texas to visit some family. One of the highlights of the trip was seeing my sister in law graduate with her nursing degree. She did this while parenting two young children and did the fast track program in just one year. I am so proud of her! As I was listening to How It Feels I quickly realized how much that song could have been written just for her - she agreed. When I wrote it, I was thinking about my friend who at the time was really going through a rough patch in her life and I wanted to write something to cheer her up, but that could also be universally understood. I’ve had several people tell me since its release that they listen to that track in the mornings when they need a boost. I have to say that it “feels” really good to know that while my songs have not made worldwide acclaim (yet!) there are a few people who really relate to the songs. As Martha would say….it’s a good thing!
