The purpose of a song is to tell a story, yet some stories we deem too taboo to be told out loud. I, however, am not a part of that general "we"...for the sake of authenticity and realness, I will say anything. I was up late one night listening to the instrumental to this track (because I didn't fall asleep before 4:00am throughout my 20s), and it dawned on me that people might relate to a song about pleasuring themselves.
Switching purses was always a hassle, and the weight of it all was literally too heavy a burden to bear all day. And so, I let go, and let fanny pack.
My parents put forth the effort to ensure I did not turn out to be a horrible human, and as a result, I always had a higher moral standard for myself and others--that same high standard has led to severe devastation. Why? Because humans are the worst.
I do many things to keep my rent paid and belly full, but I do not make enough to save for things like new gear or studio time. Many performance opportunities are unpaid and studio time and instruments are way more than my rent, but live music saves lives, and I refuse to give up. My store is a great way to help offset the fees associated with being an independent artist, but if you don't see anything you wish to purchase, a donation is a great way to show your support. Donations will only fund music related expenses.
As I reached the top of the stairs at 125th, I was stopped by the most gentle human who leaned in to show me his phone. I thought he was a tourist about to ask for directions, (mostly because of the camera), but as soon as I saw the screen on the Humans Of New York Instagram, I remember saying “Oh my God you’re famous!”.
