Homerun
Looking for music with an uplifting message and catchy tune? Look no further. Listen to my new single "Homerun", available now! #midnightatmosphere #homerun #grantspass #newmusicfriday #spotifyartist #like #share #repost This song includes positive affirmations everyone may need to hear from time to time. Here you'll find a heartfelt reflection on the journey of self acceptance and a deeper understanding of our inherent self worth. Personally, I've struggled with the pressure to prove my worth through performance and achievement, which led to anxiety and at times, crippling self doubt. However, through regular therapy and prayer, I've come to realize that my self worth remains constant. My identity as a child of God is rooted in love and has unfathomable infinite value. I believe through the continuous healing power of Jesus Christ and His Atonement, all who turn to the Lord will be healed; this includes the unseen wounds of the mind. While my self esteem may waiver occasionally, who I am remains secure and unchanged. "Homerun" is dedicated to inspiring all listeners to adopt the perspective that recognizing personal worth and potential are inherent and unchanging. I hope my message is clear: worth isn't tied to success or failure, and one doesn't need to prove anything to deserve love or belonging. I hope the lyrics resonate with you as a powerful reminder to show up, take chances, and embrace your true self without fear of striking out. I am enough. You are enough. We are not alone. We are loved. This song is dedicated to my incredible wife and best friend, Katie Shomler. Without her I would not be the man I am today, nor could I have been capable of writing lyrics of such deep personal reflection and magnitude. I am so blessed to have such a talented, intelligent, create and beautiful woman by my side. She offers constant encouragement and support in every aspect of my life. I am eternally grateful for her love, patience, and companionship. Katie, when life has us down 3 runs in the bottom of the 9th inning, with bases loaded, and 2 outs on a 0-2 count, you are the batter hitting the walk off grand slam for the win. Katie, I love you. Thank you for everything you bring into my life. Speaking of things my wife brought into my life, this song is also dedicated to the entire cast and crew of One Eleven Theatre Company's recent production of The New Broadway Musical: Anastasia. You all inspired me to write this song, and probably didn't even realize it. I wrote almost all of these lyrics at rehearsals or in between scenes. I discovered so much about myself over the course of that show, and I will cherish the time we spent together forever. There are too many names to mention. Those who know, know who they are. So instead, I'll simply say, thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything. Ladies and gentlemen, I now present, the first single this year from Midnight Atmosphere, "Homerun". Enjoy. - Michael Lee Shomlermore

Disheartened
an Emo rap track drawing inspiration from artists like NF, Witt Lowry, Lil Peep and the like with themes of depression and battling mental illness lyrics Maybe i'm not good enough I always get disheartened By the littlest of things Is it all in my head I can't shake this feeling What will I do? Have you ever spent a day just at war with yourself Looking for an escape you're begging for help Well I have and see when you're living through hell Well the devil she smiles in the cracks that you bleed So how can I live like this Cause I'm pretty sure I died when I slit my wrists I can't tell if this real or a nightmare Shocked I see there's a corpse in the mirror So maybe I'm never good enough, cause I never reached my dreams I'm struggling I can't get up Can't you see the loneliness in my eyes I may be smiling I'm planning on my suicide So how can I live like this Cause I'm pretty sure I died when I slit my wrists I can't tell if this real or a nightmare Shocked I see there's a corpse in the mirror Maybe i'm not good enough I always get disheartened By the littlest of things Is it all in my head I can't shake this feeling What will I do? I'm spending every day fucking hating myself I found a new place to hide, Its adjacent to hell Cause I'm sick of every mother fucker trying to tell Me on how to survive like its brand new intel So why would I live like this Let me give up my life cause it makes me sick Don't take away my blades cause I need that hit A little of the pain so I don't just quit Oh baby can I be good enough When every days the same I never wanna wake up Take all the pain I have inside Push it way way down so I don't look like a fuck up So why would I live like this Let me give up my life cause it makes me sick Don't take away my blades cause I need that hit A little of the pain so I don't just quit Maybe i'm not good enough I always get disheartened By the littlest of things Is it all in my head I can't shake this feeling What will I do? Maybe i'm not good enough I always get disheartened By the littlest of things Is it all in my head I can't shake this feeling What will I do? Maybe i'm not good enough I always get disheartened By the littlest of things Is it all in my head I can't shake this feeling What will I do? Written, Performed and Produced by Danneh Gleavemore
