🤍 Keep Moving Forward, my debut song, is officially out today!
I’m so excited to finally share this song with you! I’ve been writing songs in my head for as long as I can remember and the fact that you can now hear one of them too is wild!
I wrote this storytelling song about some great advice my dad once gave me at a time when life wasn’t going how I wanted. I hope this song can be an encouragement, like a friend to keep you company, cheering you on: You can do it, step by step!
I hope you can give it a listen and that you like it. If you do, would you share it with your friends? Likes/follows/shares/comments on posts about it also help the algorithms show it to more people and that would be amazing.
Thanks to Kaj Falch-Nielsen for producing together Veronica Bonderud for the dreamy photos, and thanks to you for all of your encouragement as I get started sharing my songs – it means so much to me to be sharing this with you!
Yay!!!
Love from,
Dana

100/100!
It’s here! 100/100!!! I went from never having played any of my songs out in the world to performing 100 times in 100 days!
The first day playing at the park where I might be heard by actual people was so intimidating. But I went. And then I went again. And again. Then onto playing around the neighbourhood, to onscreen concerts, over to friends and family, then busking, then to open mics. Full crowds of people have now heard some of my songs and I can’t wait to share with more. Would Day 1 me have believed that by time 100 she would be playing her songs to full crowds, with improvised accompaniment, feeling more joy than fear? I don’t know, but she hoped for this. And there was no way to get here but through.
The babyist of baby steps were the key to getting started. Each step of the way I added just the tinyist bit more. Sometimes baby steps are the biggest steps. The goal to show up 100/100 helped me stay consistent and get going on the days it was rainy. The people I called on the days I felt overwhelmed made a big difference, so did everyone sending encouragement and comments and messages throughout - something I wouldn’t have had if I’d stuck to my tendency to keep myself to myself. It’s way more fun sharing to celebrate together and it’s been amazing getting to hear how you’re working on your goals too.
When people smile at me, and stop with their babies to dance along, and offer me tips and tea and encouraging nods, and it is because of a song I wrote that I have wanted to share for so long, it means so much to me. When people compliment my songwriting and singing, it means so much more because these are my personal stories. They are so much a part of me that they are me.
Thank you for all of your celebration along the way in getting started sharing my music. It means more than I can tell you. I’m so happy.
100/100! Yay!!!

There were so many people out and about - it made me think about how truly far I have come to be standing outside playing for them when 98 days ago I was nervous to even sing one of my songs outside of my home to some ducks.

While playing my songs in this snow covered field the grey clouds literally broke apart and floated away revealing a clear blue sky. I love a metaphor.

I was hoping for a dramatic snow slide coming down from the roof while I was playing but no such thing happened. Maybe it’s for the best.
Things I love about this photo: Dramatic snow, great people were smiling at me this whole set, and the shape of my breath in the cool air made a little heart!

When the people who encouraged you in the 10s show up in the 90s. Almost at 100/100 and so glad to get to do back to back #93 and #94 for these beauties.

Tonight I played a couple songs at an open mic and it was so cool to have James do some percussion on the second one - on the spot! No rehearsal! And it sounded great!!!
Besides sharing my work, this 100/100 has been a real exercise in showing up for myself and learning. Something I learned tonight is my tendency to prepare for the worst can make me think I did terribly when in fact, I’m doing just fine! I thought I messed up big time tonight and when I watched the tape, sure, there were some things that could be improved, but it was nowhere near as catastrophic as I’d have myself believe! The people after who told me I did a good job weren’t just being nice like I thought they were! The saying, “sometimes we are our own worst critic” definitely applies here. I’m so glad I’m learning that voice might not always be right and that I’m not letting that incorrect voice stop me. Because how cool was this night? This is so fun.

That feeling when you sing the hard one the way that you wanted to.

Starting to get weird looks from people for being outside playing guitar when it’s so chilly. Didn‘t they hear? The city is my open mic.

I feel like I really snuck today’s in with a surprise end of fall sunny day. It’s supposed to snow on Tuesday but today I could be outside for a few songs and thought YES PLEASE. I like having these gorgeous places to play.

Those friends that hear all your songs and each new one is their favourite one and they make their candy cane socks dance along while filming. Xoxoxo

There were some really lovely people out this evening. A mom and baby stopped to dance a while - he waved bye to me when it was time to go, some generous money dropped in my case, and lots of smiles.
