Today's Video Share: "On the Other Side" by Kristine Cox

This song holds special meaning for me because at the time I was writing it, my dad's health was declining rapidly. I'll never forget holding his hand and singing this song to him during the last moments of lhis ife. He couldn't speak or open his eyes at the time, but he would squeeze my hand and it was a special moment that we shared.

Sometimes it seems like life is full of pain, but when we get to "the other side" of our challenges, we can see how far we have come, knowing that we are stronger for having climbed that mountain!

And then....we climb the next one. Sometimes excited and running toward the challenge; other times struggling to take the smallest steps. Sometimes sure of our way; other times figuring it out by trial and error. Sometimes basking in the beauty; other times weathering storms. Sometimes reaching a peak; other times slipping and falling, but rising again to finish the journey.

When this life has come and gone, I believe we will look back on this life, grateful that we have tasted the bitter and the sweet, for both will have made us the best we can be.

Today's Video Share: "Kinder Eyes" by Lady Alderney

Lady Alderney — She’s a lady, she’s a songwriter, she’s an artist. She sees strength in kindness. Her songs are deeply embedded in the idea that if we all reached out to each other in kindness instead of fear, the world would be a richer and more beautiful place. She’s been around the music world a little while, quietly working behind the scenes, co-writing and supporting her fellow artists around the world to become the best artists they can be. For Lady Alderney sees no competition. She knows there is a home for every one of us who is brave enough to share our light, our hearts and our gifts with the world.

Kinder Eyes — Lady Alderney’s second single (as heard on The Young And The Restless). Life can be tough at the best of times without any added complications. When Lady Alderney faced her own challenges she also tried to help those around her as much as she could. As she did this, she found there was a strength inside of her she did not know she had, that bubbled up and flowed through her, that helped her to get through to the other side of each challenge, stronger and wiser. Looking around her, she saw this happening in others too. It was then she began to understand, appreciate and be grateful for the amazing ability people have to face anything and everything we need to, each in our own special, unique and wonderful way. Lady Alderney realised how much easier it is to recognise this in others and how hard it is to see in ourselves, until we start to look at ourselves with Kinder Eyes.

Today's Video Share: "Winter Song" by SNEZ

If you’re not familiar with Australian singer/songwriter and storyteller, Snez’s extensive catalogue yet, her first single, ‘Winter song’, from the long awaited 4th album ‘Fisher on the Sea’ is acoustic magic. Intensely warm and bitterly cold at the same time, filled with melancholic imagery, as if you’re sitting by the fire waiting for the bite of wintertime to pass quickly. Her farewell song to the mystical winter magic of the Blue Mountains.

Recorded in the Mid North Coast at Soundshed Music, with well renowned Producer Stewart Peters. ‘What I like about Snez is she’s not trying to be or sound like anyone else, her loyalty lies with the characters in her stories and making sure their story is told authentically’, Peters comments.

'Fisher on the Sea' released February 2021

Today's Video Share: "Liminal" by Cedars

The song is about moving through the world as a woman and how it’s felt like we’ve gone backward in recent years. It’s about all the ways we’ve been conditioned to operate to survive and how, sometimes, even in that survival, we’re part of perpetuating those damaging narratives.

It’s also a song of hope. Hope for our daughters and sons and that things can be different. The chorus is simply “This is a water hymn, up from the bottom….again.”

That was my way of speaking to the many ways I’ve had to resurrect and reinvent myself over and over as a woman. In relationships, in business, in my art. As a mother, as a partner, as a human. We have so much weight on us to be everything, and nothing, at the same time.

We gathered 35+ women from all over and and embarked on making the themes of this song come to life visually.

Today's Video Share: "Rose + Crown" by AMMO

Dreamy and darkly melodic artist AMMO presents the spellbinding but eerie video for Rose + Crown, premiered via Post-Punk.com. Directed by AMMO herself, co-filmed by Christopher Slater, this hypnotic clip plays out like a Lynchian lullaby, enveloped in gentle red-hued psychedelic gauze, with masked apparitions, along with AMMO's own captivating visage.

AMMO is a rock and roll photographer, multi-instrumental musician, and songwriter who spent her youth ditching school in lieu of delving through bins at record stores and scouring the LA music and art scene in hopes of running into like-minds. Her music has been said to “shackle the living or free the dead…” (Grimy Goods) by creating mystical magnetic soundscapes – “the kind of music that should soundtrack a sand-dune-to-shoreline road movie by David Lynch” (LA Record).

Tomorrow - Lady Alderney's single, feat. Madsdevallia No one has been untouched by the events of 2020-21. It’s been tough on everyone.. Lady Alderney and Madsdevallia both belong to a weekly songwriting group. One week, when their weekly song was due, Madsdevallia posted a forlorn looking picture of a music stand with lyrics, handwritten in a book, resting on its ledge. Under the picture she shared her heartache and tears, saying she didn’t have it in her to record her song. Lady Alderney reached out to Madsdevallia and asked her to cowrite the next week’s song with her - no expectations, no pressure. All Madsdevallia needed to do was to chat to Lady Alderney and trust that something beautiful would come of it. The result of this trust, this collaboration, is Lady Alderney’s powerful single, Tomorrow.

Today's Video Share: "We Love Us!" by Lark

Lark describes her sound as human to human music. Channeling early Madonna through a Latin vibe she makes music that feeds the good time energy, hooks you straight into a world with shiny urban beach pop. It's the sound of colour, cocktails, sunsets and sunrises. The glitter and sweat of party people. The real world fantasy of getting down and getting on. Turning everything up beyond eleven.
We Love Us! serves up a heavier beat, floating shimmering vocal and deliciously echoes an exotic underworld of late night bars and sunrise morning cars. Lark channels a Miami Beach party vibe so jump onboard the pink Cadillac bandwagon because We Love Us!
