Through the Trees - Original Snippet

Is she calling out for her lover to join her, or is it a siren luring her prey?

Though I had to take time to recover from the plague, therefore I haven't been able to record vocals yet, I feel pretty normal in my whole singing system, so I'm hoping to get them recorded soon as I cannot wait to hear what it sounds like whole.

I'm so very excited about this song. I have honestly been listening to the instrumental on repeat while I've been writing some Baldur's Gate fanfic, lol. It's been just persistently stuck in my head since the first few notes and lyrics came to me last month.

Another cool development is that more songs have been popping into my head lately, and I'm so excited to write those out too! I know I've been working on some Barbara Strozzi songs in my voice lessons to eventually record, but right now, the muse is with me, and it seems like my own inner fantastical music needs to be brought into the world.

Again... terribly excited for everything happening musically right now!
I hope you've got something equally as fulfilling and exciting on the go too!

May it Be - Short

The music of The Lord of the Rings will always be held so close to my heart. I know each song so well after listening to my CDs for hundreds of hours in my youth. So magical, and hits all the heartstrings.

Scarborough Fair - Short

Scarborough Fair is a song I'll always come back to, it's like a warm hug while you're asking if a love interest could support your whimsical desires. You know, just magical girl things.

I'm currently working on a new song for Yuletide shenanigans. This year is not the year we get a whole album, and that's ok. While I was finally able to really tap in to music again in August, this year hasn't been without it's heartaches and significant distractions. But again, that's ok. Music is always there for me, supporting me through whatever it may be, singing, or just listening to sooth my heart.

Hope you are very well,

Mia

Lullaby of Woe - short

This song has truly become part of my spoopy season tradition, you can oft find me singing it whilst I sit on the porch during sunset while the kitties roll in the dying sun, or while I'm walking in the woods. I truly love how immersive music can be for the stories we tell, and this is one of my favourites from The Witcher 3.

I Will Fly

Yes, another Witcher song was written. In fact, I Will Fly, Bound by Destiny, and Running To were all written at the same time a few summers ago. This song is about Yen and her journey to figuring out exactly what she wants, and knowing that no one will stop her, she works beyond the bounds that the Brotherhood in Aretuza or mortal Kings try to place upon her. Ultimately, of course, it's love that she seeks. Something untainted and purely her own.

Stay tuned as both I Will Fly and Bound by Destiny will be fully released soon! ✨✨

Bound by Destiny

Something that has been in the works for a long time! Hoping to get this song out soon. In the meantime, this is based on Geralt tying himself to Ciri by fate, in probably one of the more foolish way one can after helping remove the curse from Ciri's father. To give me that which you don't already know you have.... Ahhh, how I love Geralt getting himself into the muck, hehe!

Dream a Little Dream of Me

Jazz in the summer... could it be any more perfect? I've made it down to the beach once so far, but the water was still cool, only 16 degrees C. But I knew I should have brought my bathing suit, it would have been so wonderful to go right in and have the waters wash away the fog of this past few years. Even if only a little bit.

In the meantime, listening to jazz, and waiting for the rains to stop so that I can go properly have a swim in the lake. Hope you are doing so well,

Mia
