My Debut Album
I wrote and recorded this album as I was falling ill with Lyme Disease and severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, so this album was recorded in that context. I was losing my life as I knew it and at the same time I was working with these incredibly talented musicians, I was excited about the future, but I could also feel that my life was rapidly slipping away from me and not going to turn out as I would have hoped.
There are lots of themes in this album related to what I was grappling with at the time. I was exploring opposition a lot, giving space to the full gamut of emotions I was experiencing – light and dark, peace and turbulence, love and fear… and the paradox of malignant love in songs such as The Good Shepherd, Born Again and God's Got Bones.
I was grappling with my faith and spiritual identity, given that my earthly self was slipping away due to the sickness in my body. How could I find peace with the kind of God I believed in at the time, shaped by my experience of Mormonism? This was a journey worth undertaking to find out how this God had been created by myself and my community and discover how I truly felt and what I wanted to believe.
When going through difficult times, music has always been an outlet to alchemize and give expression to the legitimacy of my feelings and I hope by doing this, others can identify and feel that permission too.
