about

Intentional Fall was written in the spring of 2020, when I started to lose my mind and did some serious purpose-searching. I was living and working on a beautiful farm in New Jersey, and wondering what would come next. I had just begun digging into The Artists's Way by Julia Cameron, and the response to that work was "f*** it. I need to take the jump and trust what comes next will catch me." That's what Intentional Fall is about--falling forward on purpose, knowing that will include hard lessons and difficult feelings. So far, I can say the beauty that has come from that decision has far overshadowed the difficult things I originally thought I couldn't handle. I hope this song inspires you to take whatever leap you need to take next.

lyrics

Coming up a hatchling
And it's strange, 'cause once I flew in another life
Dealing with the blindness
And it's strange, 'cause I saw color in another life

Now everything is black and white
And I'm starting over, starting tomorrow night
I'm on a mission to find color again
'Cause I had a dream I had blue hair in the yellow sun in the green field there

Feeling awkward, where I'm recovering and don't even know my own face in the mirror
Feeling something at all is a good start
While I take this intentional fall

Smaller than I've ever been
My identity is swirling down the porcelain walls
Resisting all temptation to return
To the devil that I know, 'cause he don't know me like I can

Now everything's becoming clear
'Cause tomorrow night is now, and now I am here
I see the color coming back
And I have this feeling now that I'm on the right track

Feeling hopeful, cause I see the ground beneath me has opened up to meet me
Also feeling trepidatious, but in spite of it I'm ready to take this intentional

Fall
Intentional fall
Intentional fall
Intentional fall
Intentional

Feeling grateful, 'cause this darkness hanging over me is lifting like a summer storm
Going forward, 'cause the only way is through and to take this intentional

Fall
Intentional fall
Intentional fall
Intentional fall, fall, fall
Intentional fall
