Good evening you lovely people!
So on Thursday the 26th of September I overcame my biggest fear, the freaking STAGE FREIGHT. And as frightening it seemed, I had full control on my nerves the entire evening before I played. I even opened the show :p But once I started playing, my music can be very naked and vulnerable, and the audience went so silent and I felt they were focused on every word I sang. And the feedback I got after from the audience and the manager of Emergenza in Scandinavia, who also was impressed with the control in my voice from when I started low and controlled and when I went up in my register. So yeah, absolutely got some confidence from this performance to keep performing
Here is the full set from that night, and down below I will post every song name in order with a description of what they are about!
Have an amazing Saturday night and weekend!
Where Are All The AnswersThe second song I wrote for this performance. I actually started this 2 years ago and found it again a month ago, when I was attending my grandpa's funeral, and I started writing on it. Basically it is about all the questions of life, and where I will be in 10, 20, and maybe 50 years, and what will happen after death. And all the people we will meet on the way, and those who stab us in the back, mistakes we make and memories we make and regrets, everything shapes our future.
Your LoveThe first song I wrote for this performance. I already posted this in the finished songs section. It is a "love song", but I tried to make not so cliché ish. It is about taking the love you're given and just embrace it and not throw it to waste. Even if there is an ocean between the two and you're in completely different time-zones. I am a true believer in that everyone has a special someone they belong with. They may not live in the same city or country or even on the same continent, but they're there somewhere in the world.
In TimeMaybe the song that means the most to me of all I have ever written. I started this on the 13th of September after a friend of mine had just released his new single which he wrote after a low point in his life, and he struggles with chronical depression. The same night I got a text from a good friend of mine, telling me that she has been set back a little lately because of her anxiety and depression kicking in. So this is not a song directly about living with mental health, but on the fact that you are beautiful and special just as you are and in the end things will be alright.
LoverThe last song I wrote, and to be honest, not the best either. I missed some lyrics, and I missed completely the high note in the first pre-chorus. It is just a love ballad, but I was aiming for some power in the chorus.
