This album was written between November 2019 and August of 2021. Mental illness and learning from it, as well as convoluted trauma, are the overarching themes on this new record.
“I celebrate myself, and sing myself, for although I am a broken person I can find newness and joy in every day of my life.
I want to heal and to learn how to unravel my convoluted trauma, and while there seems to be a hand that rests on my shoulder holding me back, I am grateful for the growing it has brought me.
I am scared of looking at my inner child in the eyes and telling them, “I love you, and it wasn’t your fault”, but today I welcome them to come out of the dark and sit with me in the presence of what has hurt me, and who I have hurt.
You are deeply loved in this moment.
This is the death of transmission: I will transform my hurt to help and love others instead of causing cyclical pain.
I love you, forever and always” - Eve
lyrics
I held my breath in from the miasma,
Leaning on a dried-out shovel
Sweat slalomed down my gaunt face,
Gleaming in the summer sun
I looked at the cyclists passing by,
The birds flying overhead, the horses grazing;
I envied their luxury
Stranded on an island of dirt,
I grieved my labor
And conceded to the incessant noise
Of flies and insects swarming my body
We hope to perform with this band one day. Some of the best to do it! There is something so special and unique that we find in their sound; it is perfectly satisfactory. To Be Gentle
