Catch the replay below and don't forget to follow Danielle's vocal coaching page to watch even more episodes from so many talented singers.

Rye Room Sessions - Some Man, Some God, Some War

1/10/2020

0 Comments

 
Thanks to the Rye Room Sessions in Portland, OR for having us back last summer. Here's the second tune from that session, called "Some Man, Some God, Some War." ​(Featuring the awesome Jules Stewart on drums!)
Along with my raging feminism, this song was inspired by a book called The Sandcastle Girls  by Chris Bohjalian, which gives a fictional account of the Armenian genocide. Sadly, the themes still resonate in our modern society. I'm looking forward to the day when we actually learn from our mistakes, but until then, at least there's music to process.

Not one, but two podcasts featuring yours truly premiered today! Hope you listen to both in entirety, but if you want to skip around, I took the liberty of breaking down each episode for you below. Both The Dusty Futon and Unstarving Musician podcasts are wonderful supporters of local/indie music. Since I always get asked about my beginnings in the music industry, you'll see I talk about some similar topics, but the flavor of each show is totally different, which is what makes podcasts so cool! I definitely recommend subscribing and browsing some of their past episodes!

Behind the Song - When that Idiot Wind Starts to Blow

4/8/2018

0 Comments

 
Just finished this in time for my songwriting book club meeting. It was inspired by the book Pronoia by Spencer Brezsny. His primary thesis is that the universe is conspiring in our favor. For the most part I agree with this theory and the author's content, but I didn't love the presentation so much. Or maybe I just wasn't in the mood to "go there" with him. In any case, I found it amusing that I've been trying to turn a corner on my cynical songwriting, and here was an author showing me a trillion examples of optimism, yet I just kept rolling my eyes at the way the book was structured. I had Dylan's song Idiot Wind in mind the whole time. Instead of trying to stifle my cynicism, I just let myself bask in it for the sake of the song. It was kind of fun to give myself permission to do that. Who knows, maybe I subconsciously learned that lesson from the book!
i've had enough of you
i've had enough of you
i sure wish your mouth came with some glue
cause i've had enough of you

it's not what you say but the way that you state it
it's not what you serve up but the way that you plate it
i'm already fed up 'fore i see the menu 
yes i've had enough of you

you're like a book i can't read
you're like a book i can't read
the day i put you down was the day i was freed
yeah you're like a book i can't read

each word so much worse than the last
i curse every page and skim past
all this stuff, it's just fluff, a marshmallow stampede
yeah you're like a book i can't read

i concur with your scorn for my cynical ways
it's a lazy and boring disguise
but the soapbox you stand on takes up too much space
and it's taking a toll on the roll on my eyes

when that idiot wind starts to blow
when that idiot wind starts to blow
i always take it as my cue to go
when that idiot wind starts to blow

i don't like to watch when the emperor streaks
or the way that the breath of a bragging man reeks
i'm covering my eyes, i'm plugging my nose
when that idiot wind starts to blow

Behind the Song - Some Man, Some God, Some War

1/14/2018

Hello friends. I just finished up a song inspired by my latest songwriting book club read, The Sandcastle Girls by Chris Bohjalian. It was a good read - really intense but fascinating (fictional but historical) account of the Armenian genocide. I loved how the author traced the story of struggle and survival through multiple generations, ethnicities, etc. of women. In these songwriting challenges, I always try to find the characters or themes that resonate with me, and apply my own experience, but I felt like kind of an imposter trying to relate on a personal level to the unimaginable suffering these characters witnessed and endured. My problems become all but imaginary when viewed through the horrifying lens of attempted ethnic cleansing. So instead of narrowing my focus, I widened the scope and thought about how the book relates to the position many women have found themselves in since the dawn of time. We play so many roles for "some man, some god, some war" - some of which are forced on us, some of which we embrace, many of which demean us or destroy us in one way or another. Whether we are perceived as sexual objects of desire, spiritual objects of religion, or social objects of war, we've been consistently rendered useless, unworthy of governing our own bodies, choosing our own beliefs, or creating our own culture. I'm encouraged at how far we've come, but slightly exasperated at how far we've yet to go. Here's hoping the momentum will continue to build. I truly believe women are the key to making a more powerful impact and a more peaceful world. If you agree, please give this song a share!
Lyrics:
1. She is dried out like the desert
She is famished, all but vanished by design
And her hide out is her cactus heart
Her own hand grenade, a barricade of spines

CHORUS
The sands of time repeating
She’s seen suffering before
Her future takes a beating
for some man, some god, some war

2. She is minding her own business
Steadfastly building castles of sand
She is blinded by a raging son
Who demolishes and calls it all his land

CHORUS
These poor holy rolling soldiers’ plight
They can’t live without their virgins and whores
To lift their strengths and spirits to fight for
Some man, some god, some war

3. We are sucking out the venom
Of poisonous scorpions and snakes
We are bucking this ecosystem
Til our mother’s deserts are our daughter’s lakes

CHORUS
Oh, wondrous, thunderous women
Together too loud to ignore
No more curtsies at the mercy
of some man, some god, some war

Excuse me while I fangirl out a little bit, but best-selling author Mitch Albom (Tuesdays With Morrie, The Five People You Meet in Heaven) gave me a shout-out today on his Facebook page, sharing a song I recently wrote influenced by his latest book The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto. How cool is that?! Listen to the song here and find the book here.

Check out this month's issue of San Diego Troubadour for a great interview and writeup about the new album Lights Out. I love how Lizzie Wann was able to weave together two of my passions (music and boxing). Shout-out to Title Boxing Club North Park! Plus, I got to talk about how much I love my wifey:

“Audrie supported me through what now seems like an obvious realization that I deserve to be happy, and I’ve been bonkers in love with her ever since.” READ MORE

Behind the Song - The Funeral

6/25/2017

0 Comments

 
Here's another songwriting book club creation, inspired by The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto by Mitch Albom. I was immediately taken by the fact that the narrative unfolded largely through the telling of stories at the main character's funeral. I started thinking about mom's recent death and how people I hardly know have reached out to me with little stories about the kind of imprint she left on their lives. I thought about my own funeral and how I hope to live in a way where people might have nice things to say or funny stories to tell at my funeral. Kind of morbid stuff, but it's a good way for us all to think about the stamp we want to leave on the world. 
Lyrics:

Everyone’s wearing black
Everyone looks so sad
Everyone can be seated now
Everyone ends up dead
Everyone bow your heads
Everyone remember

CHORUS
Was there a time or two or three she had you laughing
Was she with you giving tissues when you cried
Was she the kind of kind worth photographing in your mind?
Did she give you a good story for the day she died?

Everyone goes to bed
Everyone ends up dead
Everyone will live another day
Everyone still misses
Everyone reminisces 
Everyone has something to say

CHORUS
Was there a time or two or three she had you laughing
Was there a moment you just had to memorize
Was she the kind of kind worth photographing in your mind?
Did she give you a good story for the day she died?
