decembersongs by Jessica in The Rainbow

well hello <3 just thought i'd draw a happy little tree (or two) over here...nothin fancy, carry on.

but for real, this album of songs was made up on a couple sunday afternoons, and a couple of tuesdays too.

i made it for myself, while working on an album I meant to release this month, but it's not ready...and this being an album-a-month challenge, I had to release something...this being album #9 now by default. but some default settings are perfectly okay.

not this one really...unless you like asmr or something?

i left all the stray sounds in, to give you a window into my life. i had fun putting this together and listening to these songs on treadmills or in the car...well my new minivan cuz i'm a music mom now (just for me and bandmates, but soccer mom doesn't sound right, no kids + just for music gear)

anyway...that's all. this is small and silly and serious serious songs, but i feel too silly right now, or loopy, from putting this together, including "Outtake don't use this Jess" and all the original voice memo names, that i can't be serious. even tho some of these songs are serious, most are, and i cried cathartically after writing a few of them.

xo be you today, it's okay. the world won't break, if you're naturally non-harming. i think more harm is done by those holding back who they are, than by those letting themselves loose, but what do i know...i could be wrong. -jessica

p.s. i feel like i didn't say anything real here...so umm... as strange as it is to say perhaps, i had fun making these sad songs and going on journeys into my heart the past couple weeks with these songs, as winter began and i listened extensively to songs from december 2015, i found myself melancholy and hopeful at the same time, all the time...which maybe inspired journeys i didn't know i needed, and maybe is really why i'm releasing this... it's really for me (obviously) but for that rare lost soul who finds strength in sadness, or in admitting sadness to onesself, and being small and simple and avoiding spending your time and life on 'the sound of trying,' maybe this is for you too. <3
