Bralph Whimsical lo-fi gems from a year of dedication to creating (and sharing) every single day. Absolutely mind-blown and intimidated by the amount of effort and dedication Jessica has for putting her skills to use and inspired by her bravery in sharing these moments in time. Favorite track: Garden.

What can I tell you that you don't know way down deep in your soul in your fingers and your toes in your skin and bones? What can I make to make you see All of you is all of me and we are never really free at all... At all. I want you to understand what you think is mine I am not commanding I am listening more than you could stand to know about. Do you want to know the way well I suspect you already know the way and I'm just getting in the way of this knowing... Don't mistake what I'm doing for some kind of growing Except if you're noticing all this knowing is just tuning in. I can't teach you anything you don't already know and you can't teach me what I don't know either We're just following...

When the moon is blue like your eyes sometimes Are bluer than the night sky And you want to fly away... When the colors around you are getting stale and you're pale and lost in a moment Do you wonder if you will be found in the cold ground and lost to even the birds? (I guess it's not a waste of anything...but dirt) Do you know if you'll be ready to leave? Do you wonder if you'll need to breathe again? Do you want to hold my hand?

Made For 04:27
Light and fiction Light needs fiction Like God needs lies Light and blindness Light needs blindness Like eyes need the same thing And I don't want to be so blind to what is working in my life I don't want to be so unwise to deny that this works in my life I don't want you to misunderstand the things I need or confuse them with not needing you with not needing this too All this light in the world can't fill me up if I'm afraid to be full All the light in the world can't fill me up if I'm afraid of what I was made for All this light in the sky can't light my eyes on fire if I'm afraid of what I was made for All the light in my veins can't take the place of all this blood if I'm afraid of what I was made for

Explorers 06:05
In this timeframe that I framed for you In this interplanetary web of dreams coming true And like a timeline going nowhere going somewhere that feels new You are here inside me like an ocean like a bridge to anything but here It's clear We're not Going anywhere It's clear Here It's clear that We're not Made to be Explorers Here It's clear that All of us are Wanting to be found Like feet on the ground Like a home should be Here with you in my heart in my mind With you in my thoughts and my time I'm not afraid like I used to be afraid Most the time.
5.
Seeing all this green like light and Seeing all this light like green in your eyes Seeing all this love like things that grow on trees Seeing all this blue like the sky Seeing all this sky like blue in my eyes And I want to hold this forever But birds can fly away And they sing like some kind of Great mistake in the sky When all this was made to be So temporary Seeing all this light like Some kind of unending night that glows with all we know Seeing all this love like Some kind of great ocean overflowing with everything we wanted here but... All these clouds in the sky They are passing by They pass us by and They remind you and I that Everything is so temporary.
6.
Garden 02:59
In this garden time and space are at the moment of arrival Somewhere waiting time knows we're ready for this place to have been a lie.
7.
We take it in and go in ways we don't understand at all We get it wrong We go too slow for too long And we don't see the ways we are really all the same here It's clear we're all making the same mistakes It's clear to me anyway even if it's not to you I would like to fly away most of the time cause I can't understand the point or purpose of each rhyme And maybe it's not mine to understand or decide why we're here at all...

about

This is the first of twelve albums that I'll be releasing over the next twelve months. It's the beginning of a second year-long challenge, as I've identified some massive ways that the world feels overwhelming to me, which has resulted in a whimsical private collection of thousands of songs, compared to very few releases (despite playing shows for a decade). Last year's challenge was to write a song everyday and share it on YouTube. This year's challenge, starting today (4/1/2018), will include polishing up some of my favorites from last year, adding some other fun sounds, learning to love studio work again despite some sad or difficult experiences with releasing in the past, and allowing myself to meander in whatever ways I want to - so long as I release SOMETHING every month. An EP or an album. My finances are incredibly limited, so I won't be hiring help...just me with my DIY approach to mixing and choosing sounds, and trying to just have fun with it (as fun as dreamy sad music can be). This first album is a collection of songs that feel close to my heart, as I've been feeling like a misfit for some time now...well, maybe since childhood. I used to muscle through it and try to belong, but I've been giving up on that, and it may seem heroic at times - watching someone become more themselves - but if yourself is very strange, it's always equally sad I think. At least for me. Or just alien or alienating. So this album is dedicated to everyone I know or don't know who feels like a misfit, who can't seem to muster the energy to try to belong, who talks to the clouds or trees or themselves, or just feels generally off about being alive on this planet. I love you, I see you, I understand. xo Jessica

*Sorry about the tiny street sounds and car noises, I tried my best to make them quieter, but a couple were stubborn and insistent on being there. I decided to make them my friends, they make me giggle (laughs were left in on purpose tho lol). Bye!
