Brave was inspired by my personal struggle with anxiety. It has taken me years to recognize/admit that anxiety is an issue for me…debilitating at times. A few months ago, I sat down at my piano in the middle of the night in a pitch-black room. I was completely burned out and overwhelmed but unable to find sleep. I was beyond frustrated. A social interaction that I felt should have been an easy and enjoyable experience had taken everything out of me earlier that day. I felt defeated. I felt like a coward. My fingers hit the keys and I just sang out, “What if brave looks different for me? Am I less of a hero if I use my strength just to breath.” After that, “Brave” kind of just wrote itself. In the video, the lantern represents anxiety. It’s often challenging to put down. Even when put down, it’s often never far away. Sometimes anxiety can unfortunately be the lens through which we see and experience the world, but it’s a fractured and distorted lens. This song is dedicated to those that have similar struggles. Sometimes just showing up, making it to the other side of an event, and remembering to breathe is BRAVE. It may not look like bravery to some, but for those of you that struggle…you know. 💗 Just breathe! 💗 I’d love to get your feedback on the song! For those of you that struggle with anxiety, does this resonate with you? I'd greatly appreciate a like and a comment on my YouTube video to help get the song out. Thank you! 🙏💗 Officially released for streaming April 17th. Full music video out now on YouTubemore
