What we sing about, and how we sing about it, frames our lives through the focus and repetition of songwriting and singing. Though I admit that I still don’t know some of the lyrics to my favorite songs, and I hear people all the time who say that they don’t pay attention to the lyrics as long as they like the music, as a singer of songs, lyrics really matter.
That being said, I often hear songwriters say that they’re most inspired to write in emotionally charged times. I can relate: songwriting is a tremendous way to express and process our feelings. Even so, once the catharsis is out of my system, I craft the song into something that will benefit my life every time I sing it. Inspired by artists who have paved the path for affirmative arts, and informed by the tools that I learned from my studies in hypnotherapy, I write songs that explicitly support me (and anyone who sings along). Surprisingly, I’ve found that it doesn’t take much to lift up our lives: stars are but pinpoints in the dark sky, but their diamond light brings hope to the night.
