New year, new music. Hope you enjoy my latest release "Nothing Worse," an original song inspired by one of my dear friends about that dreaded sense of hope we still somehow manage to feel during incredibly hopeless and lonely times. The song is available on all streaming platforms, but I hope you'll also consider a direct download from my website, which includes a printable lyric download as well as the artwork. Streaming is cool y'all, but artists can't make it work with fractions of pennies for royalties. Direct sales help me continue to invest in creating more music!

Image Description: Single artwork features a collage with light gray text that reads "Nothing Worse" overlaid on a grayish blue mountain landscape. In the center, a photo of Lindsay in a green shirt with black and white polka dot accents. She is propping her chin up with her hand. Bunches of colorful flowers are covering her face and near her shoulder. Artwork by ShyTheArtist, using original photo by Sydney Prather. 

Lyrics:
there's a pillow i keep punching
i always take you lying down
there's a pill so hard to swallow
i have to hide it in my mouth
 
i'm sinking down the valley, can't find the surface
i'm fighting the finale, like a novice novelist
i'm pacing like Penelope, hope for my homecoming kiss
but there's nothing worse than hoping
at a lonesome time like this
 
there's a hole where i keep whispering
i always wonder if you hear
there's a hopeless place where i know best
but dear, i don't dare to go near
 
i'm counting up the memories and the sacrifices
i'll spend them on you honey i don't care what the price is
i'm testing several theories
hoping to prove the same thesis
but there's nothing worse than hoping
at a lonesome time like this
 
worry my mind, furrow my brow
sweetheart, i am sweating bullets sweating you out
how can i let you go
when i still hope that hope exists
i know...there's nothing worse than hoping
at a lonesome time like this
but i just sit here hoping at a lonesome time like this

Thank you for listening fam! If you want to take your patronage one step further, you can also join Lindsay's Corner for $2+/month. Did you know someone would have to stream my song about 229 times before I earned $2? But it costs about $10-20 per year to keep a song distributed to these platforms, so just to break even for a single, my song would have to be streamed  1145-2290 times per year. This stuff makes me want to pull out my hair and quit music sometimes. Having support from the Patreon platform isn't just about financial sustainability, it's about the emotional support and knowing that folks care about artists enough to protect and preserve their ability to create. It's about giving them "hope at a lonesome time like this."

Hello beautiful humans! I'll be hitting the road in just a few short weeks for my Summer US Tour in promotion of my record Lights Out. Hauling ass across the country is no easy feat for a starving artist like me - if you'd like to support my tour effort, please consider becoming a Patreon supporter. It can be scary out on the road by myself, and my supporters make it possible for me to book safe lodging in towns where I don't know anyone with a spare couch. Plus, you'll get your photo on my website and be able to join my VIP facebook group where I post all my rants, raves, and silly moments.

I'm still constantly updating the calendar with shows (and still on the lookout to fill some dates, so hit me up if you have any contacts or want me to come play a house concert for you). Here's what's on deck so far...please spread the word and bring your friends out to support local indie music! Can't wait to see you!
