New Song "Round and Round". Enjoy! ---------->

I just wrote my first song since surgery! it's brand spankin' new! Music has always been my outlet. I often use it for therapy. Through this experience music has continued to be my medicine. Click on the "Round and Roudnd" link under "our music" to hear it. It is just the bare bones. we only did one take. There is more production that I will add to it later but here is the real ruff draft. Enjoy!

A Little Background on the Song:
On March 16th I was having a really hard day. All the kids were home. I didn't know how to manage, how to collect and keep tract of my thoughts. I kept having seizures. Everything was spinning and just getting more and more confusing and disjunct. This is a problem every day but was particularly bad on this day. I couldn't seem to get anything done. I could feel my anxiety and depression building. I could feel myself starting to spiral down. Since surgery I have experienced some crazy lows and didn't ever want to go there again. I kept trying things to help but nothing seemed to work. I turned to my guitar as a last hope and this song just pored out. It usually takes me a long time to write a song, sometimes years. This all happened in one day! It is all about what I am experiencing and going through right now. It is written in a way that the message could be interpreted various ways and applied to different situations.

It is difficult to do my music with 4 sweet little people around all the time. I knew I would have to think about composing differently if I was going to ever write anything again. As all moms with young kids know, sometime you don't even have time or a spare hand to wipe your own nose let alone write a song. So to do this song I got my guitar, sat on the ground in our music room, put Jocelyn(5 months) on a blanket next to me(she was the audience), Caden(6) was drumming along, Logan(8) was plunking out guitar notes on his kid sized guitar, and Ashlynn (4) was dancing in her dress, flower crown and wand to the music. So in a sense, we all wrote it. It is the kids favorite new song. They want to hear it over and over. It was a sweet experience. I will never forget all of us in that room, writing, watching, drumming, playing, and dancing together. It was one of those little heaven on earth experiences.
