Since we cannot share all the songs yet, here’s a bit about them.
Taking Back Control written by Lesa Meinze and Dylan Altman
Sample Lyrics:
“I’m letting go of all the shame that’s tied me down so long And all the shitty voices saying “girl you don’t belong” No more living in that dark and lonely hole I’m taking back control”
You Are What You Answer To written by Merrie Fox and Maia Sharp
Have you ever felt like people keep trying to put you into a box that does not feel right? That they think they know you better than you know yourself? Merrie’s song “You Are What You Answer To” is about not letting anyone define you; you make that choice for yourself. She also wanted to express the message that no matter the trauma you have been through, you are worth better than the way those things make you feel about yourself.
It’s Gonna Be Alright written by Melanie Krotzer and Erin Enderlin
The Other Side written by Sierra Riels and Dylan Altman
Could you fathom losing your high school sweetheart, who is the love of your life, at 22 years old? For “The Other Side”, Sierra wanted to convey her harrowing journey of picking herself up from the lowest moment of her life to make it through. Though the subject matter is dark, the song is upbeat and hopeful.
A Chance to Breathe written by Rebecca Anderson and Erin Enderlin
My Way Back to You written by Kellie Owens and Jay Clementi
Knight in Shining Armor written by Giselle Irr and Maia Sharp
Sample Lyrics: “I have a friend who was the first of us, she did it on a dare There wasn’t a setting at the table, but she still pulled up a chair And all my friends they take the long walk, no longer alone on that trail And they do it combat boots and a pony tail Looking for a knight in shining armor, found something better instead When we came together, to keep on blazing the path ahead Slaying the fire breathing dragons, changing what we knew to be true”
