Thank you so much for this. I wish I’d had more time to work on it before this morning but I wanted to share it for the chat. Having fun with garage band. Can’t wait to play with it some more.
Fantastic, love the lyrics. If you added a little edge to it could almost have a PJ Harvey from the “Stories from the city , Stories from the sea” Album vibe to it. I think it’s great you’re going to use garage band to help with building your demos. It will be very valuable when building arrangements. Best of luck with it all. You obviously have the talent and something to say.
Wow, PJ Harvey is a huge compliment. Thank you! And yes, I'm hoping learning garage band will help me work out arrangements before I get into the studio. I appreciate the encouragement and your kind words. Thanks so much for listening!
This might sound like an odd comparison, but this actually reminded me a bit of some of John Frusciante's early solo records — especially The Will to Death and To Record Only Water for Ten Days. There's that same unguarded, conversational quality to it, where it feels less like someone's performing a song and more like they're trying to understand an emotional truth in real time. The gap between being perceived and being known... Really enjoyed this one.
I'm listening to "The Will to Death" now. Love the guitar. Thanks so much for commenting. And, thanks for listening to my rough cut. It really means a lot.
Fantastic song, Edie! I won't be surprised if one night I'll have a dream that I play the long and whimsical (especially the third one) chords on an ancient Farfisa organ standing with you on stage :) Or fingering the strings of the bass (which I actually never played). You revive the version of me that I considered outdated and outlived through long time ago. Apparently that old me doesn't think the same.
You are doing such good work, Edie! I love that you are expanding your knowledge. Now, the concept behind the song is great, and the doorway you found is smart and delicious. I love the idea. The harmonies that come in on the third verse are STELLAR. I adore them. Especially on the line "You thought you took me in.” Well done you!!
Thank you so much for listening, Lisa. I love working through difficult experiences by turning them into songs. So therapeutic. And thank you for your compliment on the vocals. I was sweating that yesterday trying to get it done in time for this morning.
So good. So poignant. So relatable. Go, Edie, Go!!

“the loneliness of realizing that someone who seemed to understand people deeply may not have understood you at all.” So good!
Thank you, Cathy.
Like the harmonic double track vocals. Good stuff
Right?! Really good.
Awww. Thank you!

I love that visual! I can't thank you enough for listening and I'm so glad you like the song.
Yes, it is, out of a picture book, except it doesn’t give it justice only the real-life view does. Thank you for sharing this beautiful view.
