HAPPY RELEASE HAILZ!!! Please listen to this absolutely phenomenal rock-indie track and OUTSTANDING vocal and artistic performance by Hailey Vonditsianos that can go from a whisper to a belt in a moment in vice versa, in a moment.
Credits in the carousel. There is some world class craftsmanship on this track. Please, enjoy. Add to a playlist! Share it up!
A bit about the tune:
The lyric is gently abstract. Follow HAILZ to watch the song meaning unfold as told by her. But, Hailz wanted to really confront how it feels when you are under attack of anxiety. Even when you soldier on, sometimes it can feel like the only refuge is within you. Like there’s no where to hide but in the dark corners only you know, hiding from a searchlight. Hiding in the shadows of yourself can feel like safety in a war where the adversary is you.
A songs impact becomes more salient when the themes are culturally relevant. The metaphors mirror themes prominent in our world today, such as war, seeking refuge and avoiding chaos.
The real fun is hearing what the song ends up meaning to others.
A single release is a significant and special journey. Congratulations Hailz, we’ve got it on repea-pea-peat!

Which one comes easiest for you? Which area do you want to improve most?
⏰Tuesday Nov 28th I’ll be going LIVE at 3PM EST this week.
When I was in my first couple decades of songwriting, I definitely struggled most with consistency. As that improved, so did everything else. That’s why I’ll save the best for last in this sweet little fireside chat!
😵💫I wasn’t feeling well this weekend so I had to push Sunday E03 of my FREE Succeed At Songwriting Master Class Series off by a couple days. Hope you can forgive me! See you then for this talk to help you level up your songwriting creative!!! 🚀🚀🚀

HOW TO FINISH WRITING MORE SONGS!
I’m going Live for another Free Mini Master class tomorrow night at 6:15PM EST to help you with finishing more of the songs you start.
This is hands down the most common challenge that haunts a lot of songwriters especially at the beginning of the journey.
There are a lot of reasons why momentum can grind to a halt. And why getting the boulder moving again can feel super overwhelming.
Luckily there are also ways to set yourself up for better chances of success. And I’m going to share some of my best tips and strategies for getting your momentum back so you can finish more of the songs your start.
Not all songs are worth saving. But most are, especially if the feeling that inspired the attempt was true.
But there are reasons why you may want to put a pin it 📍or pull the pin it. 💥
Building confidence as a writer is achieved in many ways, but one of the biggest ways you can super charge your confidence is to prove to yourself that your ideas are worthy and you’re capable of pulling them over the line. 💪🏼💜
See you tomorrow night!

We are so excited to wish
HAPPY RELEASE DAY TO and to welcome to the world ‘Left Out Of Love’.
This is an important song. Listen to the lyrics and you’ll understand.
Ever felt like the world might run out of love before you can feel worthy enough to have a chance to experience it? It might sound irrational, but in a world where it’s tougher than ever to make genuine connections, there’s an epidemic of loneliness and uncertainty surrounding love today.
This song is irresistibly lovable and uplifting. Noah’s gorgeous tone is so easy on the ears and did you know that adding this song to your playlists and following him on Spotify is incredibly helpful to Noah as a developing indie artist and for his debut single? There are a lot of opportunities that aren’t available to artists on their first release, so your support goes a long way. Link is in the bio! Enjoy the music!
