I wrote this after experiencing the darkness that can come with motherhood, within my own life and within the lives of my friends and family. I wanted to write a song that brings some awareness around maternal mental health, especially new moms with young children. So ladies, don’t worry, it all gets better, and seek support and help around your pregnancy and beyond… I love you! Also for all of you living with mental health mountains to climb, I am here with you, you are not alone and you will make it through to the light!!! The lark is a bird who sings when going into flight at daybreak… that is you too, my loves.
High five my hearts,
Kristine Moon
Lark by Kristine Moon
I was drowning in the darkness, now I am a lark
With a message for you, through, you… Come here to me
I am ready to break these gates, on a motorcycle chase
Lone tree, say “Cheese!”… and naked man, stand up, and be, with me, be… a useful memory
I walked into the vacuum, of my mind in the grip of doom
Sailing into the clouds, my pinky snatched the fabric of day, just in time, mine, time… I made it out this time… time, I made it out this time!
They’ve torn me many times, the wolves of the night
Orange and blue skies, bruised eyes, yesterday is far away, far away, far away!
I was drowning in the darkness, now I am a lark
With a message for you, come through, you… Come back to me!

So, yes, reading my past blogs has reminded me that I have been telling folks who have been able to visit my blog that my three songs would have been out a lot earlier than now. Okay, so my apologies for that! I have learned SO MUCH this past year about the timeline with art in that there really cannot be one! The songs will be ready when they are ready, and that process has a lot of different elements that affect its progress.
One big element that influenced my progress was that I had to change producers in the middle of this creative process. I realized that I needed a different creative collaborative experience and was able to find a new musical partner whom I am very thankful to have found. I am very grateful for my early stages of this journey and for all those involved within it. They helped me come into my voice even more, and lead me to my current team with whom I am immensely blessed to have joined. Many blessings abound for us all and may we all go forth in Love and Light!
My first single Lark is yours for free in a high-resolution file when you subscribe to my newsletter Listen-Letter here, or you can listen on Spotify. The next songs will come out over the next few months in stages, and so stay tuned my sweets!
