Music has always had great power in my life. Through music that is written by others I feel connected to the world and in that which I write, I feel whole.
Its a rare experience to hear music as its written. A rough sketch of what may be tossed aside forever or become something more. I have gotten into recording as soon as I put my pen down - sometimes I don't have the chord progressions finalized and I certainly don't know the words because sometimes they haven't been written. The melody (or lack thereof) is free flowing and still being defined. But most of all - I am still so connected to the song. After the rough sketch the distance becomes greater and greater and the process shifts from "get it all out" to "get it all right". I find these recordings intriguing and wanted to begin to share them. Feedback is welcome.

I like what you said about it going from 'get it all out' to 'get it all right'. The getting it all out version made me cry. It is such a deeper glimpse into what you are feeling than the strength you carry most of the time during our conversations. A beautiful song Jess.
