Girl in the Moon

Girl in the Moon is a folksy lil tune I wrote right after the release of my debut album, Songs to the Monster Under My Bed. I loved working on that album - it was cathartic and healing and I’ve never been prouder of anything I’ve ever made. But, it was also honestly a really emotionally difficult process - writing and workshopping those songs felt like digging into the deepest pits of my soul to mine diamonds. After I released the album, I took a little break from writing songs about my deepest fears and traumas and tried my hand at writing about things that made me happy - the stuff I wrote didn’t feel like *diamonds* (polished and precious), but they felt like flowers (still beautiful and whereas mining diamonds actively harms the earth, planting new flowers helps to heal it). Girl in the Moon is a song about finding people who appreciate your flowers just as much, if not more, than your diamonds - people that want you to be happy and healthy and who value you for YOU and not for the things you create. It’s about teaching yourself that you don’t owe anyone (not even yourself) your suffering. It’s about finding the beauty and the joy in your *imperfect* art - creating things that feel good to create. It’s about comfort and safety and peace and as of October 22, 2021 (my 20th birthday) it is available to stream everywhere!
