Update✨

Hello again! I don’t know about you but I’ve been super busy this last week trying to finish this EP before the end of the month 😬 here’s what I have done so far…

So first up I have got all 5 songs mostly recorded. We’ve got the acoustic guitar sorted and the main vocals. So we have the bones of the songs together which is great.

You might be wondering… 5 songs? You haven’t heard of the all as of yet. However today you will now.

At number 1 we have ‘Battle Field’. A song about the mental battle with your own negative thoughts and mental health.

At number 2 we have ‘Fighting Grounds’. A song about loss, cancer, the unfair world when tragedy or the negative unexpected happens.

At number 3 we have ‘Thin Ice’. If you follow my Instagram you will see a sneak peak of it today and earlier this week in my posts. I’ll go more in depth with this song as you haven’t heard it mentioned before.

Thin Ice is a song about my darkest time mental health wise. I was super super low. I was depressed and hopeless and feeling unsupported and like I couldn’t/didn’t deserve to ask for support. This song expresses all that and is about feeling suicidal. This is because I did have a time where I felt that way. I did get better and get support soon after I felt like this and presently I’m doing pretty good. (Apart from stressing over my short amount of time to finish this EP 👀)

I would like Thin Ice’ to reach those who may need a realisation that they aren’t the only ones who have felt this low and if they need help expressing it maybe play it in front of a loved one to help start the communication for support. Support will help and if anyone feels this way please reach out to others or support services ❤️

Moving onto number 4. This one is called ‘Smile’. A song about the society we live in and how it can be toxic on only showing the good happy parts of yourself and not being able to show the not so good parts. How you could be happy with friends, particularly in school, but as soon as you’re struggling most of your “friends” are not interested. I speak from experience. So I wanted this song to be my way of saying my opinion on that awful part of our society. I don’t like it one bit and hope my song emphasises how illogical it is.

Song number 5. The last one! Is called ‘safe with me’ I mentioned it in my last post and how I was independently recording the vocals. I’ve continued to do this with all of the songs now. It’s a lot of fun. However I do have to ask for tech support at times due to I/O issues 😂.

‘safe with me’ is about being happy and safe with yourself again and healing your inner child. As you can guess, it’s the only happy song in the EP. This is on purpose to show at the very end things do get better and I myself survived and healed. I’m still healing however I’ve made a lot of progress and I wish that for everyone else who reads, follows or listens to my songs or who just is in a low place and never even knows of my existence. I hope you all never give up on your healing journeys.

That’s what my EP is all about. Getting through and surviving when you hit an all time low. And then healing and feeling happy again. Life can be crappy but it’s not always crappy. I hope my EP can help others express themselves or comfort them or maybe you’ll just enjoy the songs and the meanings.

With that in mind, I think it’s time I told you the title of this EP….

This 5 song EP is called ‘Survived’. Pretty obvious reasoning why if you’ve read this far 😂. I hope you will enjoy it once it’s released and follow to hear more updates and a soon coming release date and EP cover reveal. Be sure to follow my Instagram too for more frequent updates and look into my recording sessions. As for now I will leave you with a look into ‘Thin Ice’….
