the night I wrote “i feel like throwing up” i was really supposed to help 2 friends move apartments. i was going more for the moral support because i couldn’t lift anything heavy (still can’t).
i was deep into treatment for lyme coinfections, with doxycycline, IVs, weekly blood draws, and lots of supplements and experimental treatments. i couldn’t go help my friends move because i was so nauseous, stuck on the bathroom floor. it was a typical night for me but i actually felt devastated. it felt like the early pandemic except i was the only one quarantining while i watched life go on without me.
these illnesses are isolating. they are scary. they break you down. i feel lucky that music is what allowed me to stay connected and eventually led to me building a bigger community and feeling more support.
this song is more to me than just a song, it was a lifeline. in many ways it gave me mental strength. putting what i am going through to music has kept me calm in the chaos. and it’s helped me build community.
no matter what we are going through, and no matter how alone we feel, we aren’t ever really alone.
the music video shows the community love, it’s on youtube and itunes and the song is available everywhere.
my new album Greetings from Echo Park comes out on June 6. it’s available for pre-order now on bandcamp. thank you for all the support on my song. it means everything to me.
