Long-awaited Salutation

I never aspired to be a singer/songwriter. In fact, the very sound of my unattractive singing voice may be objectionable to some. But I find in my first experiences with this guitar that I feel an urge to write a divine melody. And if this offensive voice of mine can cooperate, it may even include some lyrics.

When a song is playing through these white wires and the sound waves enter my ears, I feel it inside. The music, the words, the essence of beauty. I want to be a part of it. And although I am already a part of it just by the experience, I want to share the gloriousness that radiates through me with everyone I can...

"records are experiences.
things to submerge into.
cause then… they save you.
like connecting to the right person,
just when you are needing them most."
-Matt Nathanson

  1. wow, nikki! i never realized how connected you were to music. you seem to truly understand music as a spiritual experience. just as you are learning to love yourself again, so you will come to love your voice, your fingers, and your words that make you the unique musician that you are.
