don't eat the gas station food.
Released February 4th, 2024
Though it has a silly name, "don't eat the gas station food." is about a real struggle. For the last few years, I have dealt with episodes of dissociation and derealization. The main premise of the song is Psalm 139:7, which says, "Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?" I'm asking God if I can stay with Him while I am experiencing separation from everything around me.
This song also points to the rest that Jesus promises in Psalm 23:2 that reads, "He makes me lie down in green pastures." Even when my mind wants to wander, like a sheep from the safety of a shepherd, and I feel completely alone in this reality, He never leaves me. He is the Good Shepherd who gives me rest, even when it is hard to find.
blue ghosts aren't real
Released May 17th, 2024
The song "blue ghosts aren't real" was originally written and produced during the pandemic. Having the initial name "Blue Ghost," I wrote it about someone who meant a lot to me at the time who I needed to say goodbye to. We didn't intend on releasing the song initially; it was mainly written to help deal with my raw emotions at the time. However, this being my first song, Christen (my producer and sister) encouraged me to add it to my discography. I see the song as a way to look back on who I used to be and how I'm so thankful for how far the Lord has brought me, emotionally, spiritually, and musically.
voicemail box full
Released July 5th, 2024
The most special song to us is "voicemail box full". Originally written as a school project, the lyrics come from the perspective of my grandfather, Tony, living alone since the death of our grandmother.
Our family is tremendously blessed by our Popo. He is the best grandfather and great-grandfather anyone could ask for. He calls us often, tells us we're beautiful , and has always supported us in anything we put our hands to, even if he doesn't necessarily agree with it.
We could write album upon album about Popo and we still wouldn't have enough words to describe the significant impact he has made in each of our lives. In this song, however, we also mention our sweet grandmother, Josie, who went to heaven in November 2022. There is no one like our Momo and Popo.
​
Popo doesn't like birthday gifts and would much rather celebrate others than be celebrated, but my sister and I wanted to release a song about him in honor of his 90th year of life.
