Today's Video Share: "After Thoughts" by Faith Francis
“After Thoughts” is a song about letting go and change and moving forward in life, trusting yourself again, and knowing that some things are best left in the past. The song itself was a collaborative effort between myself and my friend Jake back home because I wanted the song to have a feeling of “both sides” of the story. I think the production came together really well, as the acoustic track was recorded in my living room about a year ago. Hopefully you enjoy the story!
Today's Video Share: "Waiting for a Miracle" by Rachel Layne
A Christmas song filled with hope and peace and reminiscent of the traditional soulful sound of the season . This song was started three years ago, but was only just recently finished and it couldn't be more fitting or timely this Christmas. It’s called “Waiting for a Miracle” and the lyrics are oddly fitting for this strange year.
Rachel is a songwriter and musician who has performed at emerging artist showcases during Canadian Country Music Week. She is an Unsigned Only Music semi-finalist, and one of only eight artists selected to perform at ole's inaugural “on the spot” contest during Country Music Week.

Today's Video Share: "The Long Awaited One" by Graciela Pena
“This song that I wrote was written one day as I imagined what it was like for the shepherds once they were told that Jesus their Savior was born. I write songs to bring hope and to let people know they are noticed and loved. My desire is for my music to reach many and that my songs can be used for churches, ministry fundraisers or wherever God may open the door. I am working on a CD next year focusing on those who are oppressed and hurting and through my songs to bring comfort and encouragement during these times. I also sing a song on this Christmas EP in Spanish which you can find on Bandzoogle with this video. Be blessed and Merry Christmas!” — Graciela Pena

Today's Video Share: "Run With the Wolves" by Raye Zaragoza
Raye Zaragoza shares a new official music video for "Run With The Wolves" from her new album Woman In Color. She says, "I came up with the concept for this song while reading Clarissa Pinkola Este’s 'Women Who Run With The Wolves.' The book is a collection of myths and stories of the 'wild woman archetype.' It reminded me that femininity is also animalistic, strong, and intuitive. This song is about reclaiming your instincts and being a woman of the earth. It’s about existing within your whole body and spirit."

Today's Video's Share: "Creature of Habit" by Elizabeth Moen
Elizabeth Moen has shared a hypnotic animated video for her brand new single "Creature of Habit" and announced an upcoming EP of the same name to be released December 11. The six-song collection approaches mental health with a cathartic balance of candor and profundity. Moen recently moved in with her aunt who is a therapist, and in her presence, has become increasingly intrigued by her own inner workings and embarked upon the imperfect process of better understanding them. For the songwriter, today's release acknowledges the innate human tendency to repeatedly resort to old habits as well as the conscious effort to—well—not. Says Moen, "I've realized there are only certain things I have control of in life and I gotta just keep growing, healing, and learning."

Today's Video Share: "Stargazer" ft. Elijah Ray by Marya Stark
“Marya’s performance is indeed captivating creativity brought to life…
One of the most inspiring performances I’ve listened to in 2020.
I don’t believe you’ll find another album with the message we so need in these troubled times.
A superbly crafted musical adventure that is MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED ”- Contemporary Fusion
‘Stargazer’ is the first release from Marya Stark’s album Sapphire. Produced and Arranged by Joshua Penman, Stargazer is a orchestral-pop piece that moves the listener into spaces of awe, wonder and mystical delight. With Marya’s ecstatic lyricism and lush vocals (in harmony with the inimitable Elijah Ray), Stargazer is a rhapsodic journey of the longing heart who, in courting the muse, becomes the dance of the Northern Lights.

Today's Video Share: "Cave" by Rachael Sage
MPress Records founder/recording artist Rachael Sage has just released her new video, "Cave", from her critically acclaimed album Character. Composed while she was a teenager, "Cave" was rediscovered by Sage during her 2018 recovery from cancer, while she was sifting through an old box of lyrics. Struck by how much more the song resonated for her so many years later, the stripped-down studio performance is punctuated by Rachael's signature calligraphic handwriting and original artwork, underlining the complexities of emotional isolation during lock-down.
Rachael reveals: "I wrote this song while I was in college, where I fell hard for someone who was definitely not ultimately 'healthy' for me. It was a very formative experience and left me with a lingering fear of being manipulated or rejected for who I actually was. When I sing it now, the song reminds me to revere authenticity and honesty in all my relationships – and to fully embrace unconditional love.
Art-directed by Sage, directed by longtime collaborator Nick Clark, and animated by Daniela P. Solomon, the clip utilizes playful animation to bring her handwriting and signature line-drawings to life, as though we are inside Sage's psyche. The result is a unique video that merges acoustic performance with an innovative approach to socially-distanced video-making.

Today's Video Share: "A Higher Purpose" by Wokepoets / Dale Lawrence
Wokepoets is a collective of several Atlanta-area musicians featuring both female and male vocalists. They create only original music with a focus on social and humanist issues. This song was previously selected as an audio track for the Women of Substance podcast. The cryptic lyric alludes to a higher purpose in life, but the video goes a long way towards putting a face to many of the societal issues that the lyric hints at allegorically. Compassion, love and empathy are not only Christian values. They are essential human values.
