Whale Fall album release party is happening June 13th at @bottomofthehillsf! 🐳 Mark your calendars! __ Radio-ready, Nashville-style storytelling that will move your hips and get stuck in your head, Whale Fall is a modern take on Tawnee Kendall’s classic country-music upbringing. Expanding on the soundscape from her previous album, Release The Ghost (dubbed “heart-on-your-sleeve artistry” by @huffpost ), Kendall’s fourth studio album continues the journey in richly emotional, irresistibly melodic songwriting. __ #WhaleFallEP #albumrelease #newmusic #newmusicalert #nowplaying #sanfrancisco #sfmusic #sfbay #indiemusic #indeartist #indiefolk #womenwhocreate #womenwhorock #tawneekendallmusic #femaleartist #femalemusician #femalevocalist #vocalist #femaleguitarist #acousticguitar #instamusic #bayarea #discovermusic #music #unsignedartists #unsignedmusic #unsignedtalent #singersongwriter
W H A L E F A L L 🐳 When a whale dies, it can feed layers of ocean ecosystems for a century. While it floats at the surface, large and microscopic animals alike feast on its flesh. As its body is reduced, the whale will fall to the bottom of the ocean where it will continue to feed organisms and provide housing for bottom dwellers. __ Something about this concept struck me. One massive, gorgeous, graceful beast can sustain life after it's dead for a hundred years. Something suspended in weightlessness, flying through water, can plummet -- almost out of its own orbit -- down to the bottom of the sea and still be so essentially to sustaining life long after it's gone __ This feels like so many things to me. Music, humanity, empathy, kindness, family ties, even death and mourning. Each of these things have magnificent push and pull on our lives. They impact us deeply, sustain us, carry us. They change the course of future generations. __ #WhaleFallEP is the next step in my own personal evolution. Coming off the tails of #ReleaseTheGhost (2017), which helped me cope from the loss of a dear friend of mine to cancer, Whale Fall shows that there is life (and art, and inspiration, and thriving) after sorrow and pain. __ Can't wait to share it with you all! 💋 Happy weekend.
F O R G I V E N E S S ✳️ I feel completely changed. I can sense a line between myself, like a reflection cast in a pool of water. The person then, the person now. ➖ And the root of this renewal, of this grand shift of all my symptoms, is forgiveness. I've finally learned to forgive myself. I forgive you for hurting, for being flawed. I forgive you for being tired and for sometimes giving up. I forgive you for shutting down and for feeling lost. I forgive you for being taken advantage of, for feeling weak. I forgive you for not looking like the magazines, sounding like the radio, or experiencing like the movies. I forgive you for working too much or not enough. I forgive you for not realizing your worth and spending your moments doubting, degrading, and being destructive. ➖ I know now that I cannot control... anything... anything outside the boundaries of my own mind. My perspective, my outlook, the way I show up for myself and others, my compassion, and my forgiveness. ➖ I cannot see my body as beautiful, or strong, or purposeful until I forgive it for being uniquely mine. I cannot recognize these steps in my journey as valuable, both my accomplishments and my failures, until I accept them all as my teachers. ➖ I know where I want to go, where I hope to be going, and I forgive myself for not being there yet. I'm not supposed to be there. I'm supposed to be right here, experiencing this moment, being exactly who I am precisely right now. ➖ #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #eatingdisorderrecovery #edrecovery #motivation #wellness #selflove #selfcare #endthestigma #anxiety #depressionhelp #forgiveness
