so, megastuck. this song begrudgingly made its way out of me one very low-energy, quasi-depressed, meh kind of day a few years ago. how that happened when i’d been unable to do a single other thing that day, i’m not quite sure, but i remember sitting alone at the kitchen table, very annoyed at myself and my brain, and somehow my guitar ended up in my hand. all i had the energy to do was pluck a few bass notes, and then in a lazy effort to entertain myself i started sing-talking about my current predicament. lo and behold—megastuck was born. maybe writing it allowed me to soften a bit and go a little easier on myself or maybe it served as a reminder that in the deepest of stuck moments you might be moments away from a bit of magic or maybe it was simply an anthem for the moments when you’re just too tired to put yourself to bed? either way, it served to infuse that day with a bit more levity and life, hallelujah.
gear change—one way my brain has changed this last year since having a baby is that i’ve felt a major shift in priorities (unsurprising!). one way this plays out: music is still as magic and meaningful as ever, but the time and energy required to properly get that music in the world (photos and videos and planning and posts and promoting 😵💫) just feels so unimportant when held up against spending time with this new little human unfolding in front of me. but it’s tricky because the music still matters, and i still want these song babies to go out and live their full lives! anyway, not sure why i’m sharing this other than to say sorry out loud to the songs i’m putting out during this time. i don’t love you any less. i don’t wish any less for you. i hope despite me being an absentee song-parent, you manage to find your way and your people and live a beautiful beautiful song-life.

Sometimes people don't like to compare. Some say it is not a good thing. However, if it makes things easier, if it doesn't hurt anyone, then I think it is possible and very possible. megastuck is a good song. ^^

Kina, of course all your spare time and energy should go into your adorable baby. We are happy to share your creative music moments when they happen organically for you. Don't worry about all the production and promotion for now... Plenty of time later when your child is in school, to focus more on that again. For now, enjoy every moment of growth
💕💕😊
