Alyssa Walks Alone
Alyssa visits Kendra’s grave on her high school graduation day, trying to get answers to her many questions.
653 words
Alyssa was at the cemetery again. Though, “again” implies the last time was recently, and that wasn’t true. It worried her parents too much to go too often, but this was a special occasion.
Dirt smudged her expensive graduation robes, but she didn’t want to save them by standing. She wanted to sit, to be closer to Kendra, and so she did, 75 dollar one-time clothes be damned.
It was supposed to be their day.
So many things were supposed to be their day. Birthdays, first days of schools, sleepovers, homecomings, proms—so many things were supposed to be with Kendra.
Whenever Alyssa arrived at such milestones without her, she felt so terribly alone. Despite new friends and old family members, there was always something missing. Someone missing.
Kendra.
It never got easier. People lied. It only got easier to forget. Alyssa could go days without thinking of Kendra, but when she remembered, it felt the exact same. The exact same hot tears, cold hands, tight lungs—it was always the same.
Well, except for today. Because today was worse.
Graduation. High school graduation!
Alyssa had put in 13 years to get her diploma this morning and to get to say “I did it.”
She had done fine throughout high school, alone, but if Kendra had been there, Kendra would have been able to blow them all out of the water. Alyssa knew it. She would have been able to say—that’s my friend, that smartie with the honors regalia.
She would have smiled at Alyssa as she walked across the stage and Alyssa would have done the same. They would have probably had a joint graduation party, and a big lunch with big flowers and big checks from relatives.
It would have been great.
Alyssa brushed away some of the dirt on the grave stone to read “Kendra Marie Sorenson.”
A memory came up and Alyssa snorted. Kendra had been so embarrassed of her middle name; she had thought it was way too common. Alyssa always countered that at least it was her middle name, because Alyssa shared her first name with, like, a million other girls at their school. Kendra buried her face in her pillow but turned her face slightly to say that she thought Alyssa was the best name anyone could have. The name was so…her. Alyssa would have told her that Marie literally sounded like the name a fairy would have, so even if Kendra maintained that Alyssa won the human name lottery then Kendra would have still bested the supernatural lottery.
The laughter turned to tears fairly quickly and Alyssa buried her face in her hands.
If they had had more years, maybe Alyssa could have found out if Kendra had also harbored the cute little caterpillars that bloomed into butterflies whenever Alyssa caught Kendra looking at her. Maybe then she could’ve known.
How will she ever get over it without knowing?
How will she ever meet anyone else and not wish it was just Kendra? That didn’t seem like a possiblility.
How was Alyssa ever going to move away for college when Kendra would always be right here, in Rochester?
How would she ever go somewhere where she couldn’t run to come visit Kendra when her day got rough or some customer yelled at her or Emma was causing drama again or when the loneliness and guilt and grief got so heavy Alyssa felt like she was the one with six feet of compressed dirt sitting on her chest?
How? There was no answer except that this fucking sucked. There were never any answers.
Why did Kendra have to go? Why did she have to die? Why didn’t they ever get to say goodbye?
Why wasn’t Kendra right here, right now?
Why wasn’t Kendra wiping away her tears and hugging her till her bones were crushed?
Why couldn’t it have been Alyssa?
Why, God?
Why?

Elizabeth, Alpha of Dragons chapter 1
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Click to see the rest of the snark & image descriptions
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Click here for the rest of the series!
Chapter 1
"Sophia's claim to her true blood status comes from the Sorensen line, the one that everyone believes is the ancestor of Sigurd. But this book is saying that the true spelling is Sorenson, not Sorensen." Hunter pointed to the letters to show me the difference. 
Avery slurped noisily at the last of his coffee, only glancing uneasily at Hunter's hand over mine. "That means she's a fake. She must've found a way to change the official records somehow. Everyone believes it, even the Queen."
You’re telling me that all of this comes down to a fucking clerical error? JFC how goddamned stupid can all of this possibly get?
"I think we have some very important work in Mongolia. Shoveling dragon manure, for instance."
Since they’re all dragons, wouldn’t that be the equivalent of shovelling human poop?
I twirled my hair around my finger and considered the risk of calling Shayne. I had no doubt that Garrett was watching my parents [sic] and my account. 
[...]
"I can't take your money; I have my own. I just need to access it somehow."
Here’s a hint: stop hiding behind the dragons and their problem, go home, and fucking deal with Garrett. 
"Where William and Emma were. About their family, that they had dragon babies. The document was dated right before she formed our team. She made it seem like we were going to save the world. We were going to have babies and grow the race. All along she knew that wolves could save the dragons. But they hate the wolves, so they buried the information." 
Imagine going extinct because you hated some other race more than you wanted your own race to continue. 
JFC, I say let these assholes go extinct. The phrase “too stupid to be alive” comes to mind. 
Smirking, I shook my head. "You wish." I caught his smile just before I shut the door.
Chapter 1 summary: We open on one of the boys (I have given up giving a shit about which one is which) finding something important in a file. Then the rest of the boys come into Andre’s office and get angry that the first one had sex with Liz. They start to fight, and then Liz gets angry at them and starts throwing office supplies at their heads for them to stop. 
They then go to a nearby cafe, where the one guy explains that he finally has dirt on Sophia. This entire time, her power has come because people believe that she’s from an important dragon family. But as it turns out, she’s somehow changed the records… Granted, it’s literally a one-letter change, but still. 
Sophia and Andre come in. Sophia is still angry that the one she was supposed to get married to called her out while they were literally at the altar. In front of everybody. Liz then stands up and pulls her own alpha power. Andre promises to talk to the queen about an official alpha challenge between the two of them. 
Hunter takes Liz back to his apartment, and gives her a credit card that Riley had arranged for her. The two of them then bang. When they’re finished, he tells her that he used to work as basically a bounty hunter. But one of them decided to murder Hunter’s parents as payback for… Failing to capture him the first time, I guess? 
He also says that he found evidence that Sophia 100% knew about the dragon shacking up with the wolf and having a bunch of babies. That she knew how to save the dragons, but decided to let her hate (and her desire to fuck the male leads) drive her actions instead. 
Later, some dude named James shows up. He makes no effort to hide how sexually attracted to Liz he is, and the entire thing is beyond icky. He tells Liz that the queen wants to have a word with her. Liz is like “Thanks, bye!” before she basically slams the door in his face.

Eunice Foote viveu no século XIX e frequentou o Troy Female Seminary (agora chamado de Emma Willard School) e é uma das signatárias da Declaração redigida por sufragistas na convenção de Seneca Fall de 1848 pelos direitos das mulheres. Foote foi a primeira cientista a definir o efeito estufa. Ela foi a primeira pessoa a demonstrar como diferentes proporções de dióxido de carbono na atmosfera mudariam sua temperatura. Mas Foote foi proibida de ler suas descobertas para os outros membros da conferência da Associação Americana para o Avanço da Ciência de 1856, em Albany, Nova York. Esse é o primeiro relato sobre seus estudos e a primeira vez que o efeito estufa foi descrito. Três anos depois, outro cientista, um homem, é claro, apareceu para receber o crédito por seu trabalho. Em 1859, o cientista irlandês John Tyndall publicou seu próprio artigo e, desde então, tem sido amplamente considerado o pai da ciência climática moderna. Em 2011, quando um colecionador de revistas científicas antigas chamado Raymond Sorenson topou com um resumo do estudo original de Foote de 1856 - que foi brevemente descrito na revista científica Scientific American - ele tomou nota. Lá, em uma coluna especial intitulada Scientific Ladies, estava a pesquisa independente de Foote. Foi elogiado pelos editores da revista como "experimentos práticos" e os editores observaram com condescendência: "Temos o prazer de dizer que foi feito por uma senhora". Mas o artigo de Foote nunca foi tratado como seu próprio estudo, nem foi publicado junto com o restante dos estudos científicos daquele ano. Então Sorenson foi em frente e escreveu um artigo sobre isso, publicando o próprio trabalho dela. Foote finalmente pode receber os créditos por seu estudo. Com informações de All That Things Interesting. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKzkN3dAYXn/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY=

The predominant conceptual framework
The predominant conceptual framework divides health problems into communicable diseases, noncommunicable diseases and injuries. The current global discussion concerning noncommunicable diseases illustrates how care can be fragmented when the time sensitivity of curative interventions is ignored. Of the 57 million deaths in the world in 2008, 36 million (63%) were caused by noncommunicable diseases.5 A substantial and increasing proportion of the global deaths from noncommunicable diseases and injuries occurs in low and middle income countries undergoing the epidemiologic transition.6 Strategies for addressing morbidity and mortality from noncommunicable diseases have focused almost exclusively on prevention and primary care. Ive never been to a place so fancy before, said the daughter, Zuleika Morales, 10, giggling.This is our first and only meal today, said Patsi Podgurski, 29, of suburban west Palm Beach, digging into a turkey dinner with her son, Wesley, 9, and niece, Amy Morse, 14, and their grandmother, Emma Morse.Podgurski, unable to work because of injuries suffered in a car accident, was not the only one with a somber story. But the grim problems were forgotten Wednesday amid a high spirited mood that swept over the party.Squeals of delight and rowdy renditions of Christmas carols, led by Palm Beacher Jim Nemec as Santa Claus, filled the traditionally staid restaurant and bar for two hours.For the right answer to a simple question what day is smučarski kombinezon hlače it, for instance $10 bills were dispensed like candy bars. When the party ended, each child got $5 маратонки puma mercedes amg more at one door, $1 more at another.And there was a bounty of gifts, presented to each youngster in white and bdsm puma fuchsia shopping bags from Sara Fredericks.Oh boy! yelled Robert Dukelow, 5, holding up a stylish new polo shirt.Nearby, John Sorenson, 28, one of dozens of adults who volunteered to help at the party, laughed and clapped his his hands.Its a Ralph Lauren polo shirt, a $40 shirt I dont believe it! said Sorenson, a Boca Raton stockbroker who heard about the party through a friend. However, there's no denying that the chunky styling, impressive off road ability and classy, upmarket cabin will appeal to some buyers.But the high price around 50,000 is just too much to justify when there are so many compromises to make over the standard car. A more conventional convertible probably makes more sense; a similarly pricedBMW 4 Series ConvertibleorMercedes C Class Cabrioletwould make a better all round choice.Unless you need to head off road, then it's probably best to stay sensible and get a hard top vehicle.TheF Paceis one of the most important Jaguars in years, as it takes the brand into the SUV market for the first time.When we got behind the wheel in April, we found it every bit as capable as rivals including thePorsche Macan.Although the Porsche offers a slightly better driving experience, the Jag has the edge in terms of overall appeal. Agile and fast, plus roomy, handsome and luxurious inside, it deserved the five star rating we gave it. Two leisure centre swimming pools were built in South Wales in 1987 and 1989 with square aluminium lighting sac camelbak lobo units llantas 4x4 online that were connected together in a series of three lights. These were then mounted onto runners supported from the ceiling structure. The lights were mains powered and fitted with sodium lamps. He was later proved wrong by a subsequent cizme vara cu toc parking study and traffic analysis that then led to the proposed Lorne Street parkade beside Heritage House, he said. "I'm not a traffic engineer. I have opinions like everybody else," he said. Women in burkas sit on the ground, looking raggedy and hot. In a little while you know that someone an aunt or a cousin or a sister is going to walk out of the door of the terminal, wearing nice clothes, chanel ágynemű looking fresh and very clean. I keep picturing how it will be when they greet each other, the one who managed to get out and the one who stayed back.. But then I found something. It clicked. His age, Hunter regularly is the first player on the field before batting practice, running sprints and stretching in the outfield.. Polo ralph lauren outlet Mountains nfl broncos to adidas neo restore calm, michael kors handbags as pandora jewellery if tory burch shoes nothing kobe bryant jersey had nike air max happened cheap nike shoes to iphone 5 cases her ralph lauren shirts silence, air jordans occasionally replica watches pheasant roshe run chirping, nike outlet people feel nike huaraches there michael kors black friday Aura.

Lorraine Antigua, 32, of jean coquelin Brooklyn, was on the 104th floor of tower one, in her office at Cantor Fitzgerald. Antigua has two children nike sb prod x and a fianc Brian Wilkes. She is described as five eight, with brown eyes and dark brown wavy hair. Performance Motor Racing incurred approximately $2.5 million dollars in damages to attain lost funding, to replace the team workforce, in expenses dedicated to replace the lost funding, and in the amount of assets sold to keep the team running. The award was trebled pursuant to Virginia Code Sections 18.2 499 and 18.2 500. Copies of those code sections can found here and here.. The lawsuits mirror a pending federal lawsuit that was filed in September against Polo Ralph Lauren Corp.

Hey! I am SO PUMPED to finally announce that my art song project, LUGUBRIOUS PORTRAITURE, or, Art Songs for Those on the Peripheries of Love, is going live this week, right on Instagram (@WhoaItsMichaelO) and YouTube! This is a project I came up with during quarantine to find another outlet to create and collaborate with friends and performers I adore. The result is this 8 part art song series I have decided to release weekly. Watch for new videos every Sunday!
ART SONG; noun, a song written to be sung in recital, typically with piano accompaniment and often set to a poem. (Oxford Languages)
These songs mean a lot to me, and I am beyond thrilled to feature 8 incredible vocalists. They each signed on to this project with no reservations, further impressing and inspiring me with their artistry:
Megan Fletcher
LaRob Payton
Emma Sorenson
Laura Smalley
Robin West
Jonathan Zeng
Jonathan Wilson
Abbey Hendrix
As this project progresses, please like, comment, and share. Most importantly, if you would like to make a donation to help support all of us performers during this difficult time, use paypal.me/MROmusic to donate (with the note ART SONG) and every dollar will be split amongst these incredible artists. (This link will also be live on my website, http://www.michaelroldham.com) Thank you and stay tuned!

If They Had a Kid - Furia and Meryl or Colin
If They Had a Kid
Meryl
Name: Adan
Gender: Male
General Appearance: Short, black hair, that he sometimes lets go a little wild. He’s got Meryl’s eyes (because it is a must). And like his moms, he’s got an athletic build. Luckily for him, he got the height from Furia’s side of the family and he towers over both of them. He tends to follow Meryl’s style more--jeans, tees, black leather jacket (that Furia gave him), and shoes that move with him. He always makes sure to not wear anything he can’t get a full range of movement in.
Personality: Adan’s a big believer in living every second of his life to the fullest. Most of the times he’s gotten into trouble in his life were because of his inability to neither turn down a dare, nor say no to something new. He wants to experience everything, and he doesn’t want to wait for a more appropriate time or location for his experiences. He’s bold, and easily distracted which did not help him in school. 
Special Talents: He is a skater, and fell into parkour as a young child. He utilizes his flexibility to impress his friends and manage to get himself out of broken bones. There have been several times when everyone was sure he’d broken something, and he just hopped up from the crash or fall with bruises. He’s definitely a daredevil and has a fearless streak wider than Furia and Meryl put together. 
Who they like better: Meryl. She’s always up for the wild stuff. Furia can be a bit of a worrier and goes all mom on him. Meryl does too, but to a lesser extent, which means she gets to hear about far more of Adan’s antics than Furia does. In fact, Meryl might be his first videographer for his stunting.
Who they take after more: Furia--though that fearlessness comes naturally from both of his moms. But his ability to mask over even the slightest hint of concern about what he’s trying is definitely something that he gets from Furia. People only know what Adan is really thinking, unless he lets the mask fall and tells them flat out. Sometimes he just can’t find the words for it.
Personal Head canon: He’s nearly set their house on fire three times. Jumped off the roof twice without breaking something. The third time, he did break his collarbone, which only mildly slowed him down. He’s got scars from bouncing off walls and concrete. He’s broken an average of two bones a year. 
Face Claim: (Tobias Sorenson)
Tumblr media
Colin
Name: Rowan
Gender: Non-binary
General Appearance: Colin’s red hair meets Furia’s thick waves. He’s also got his mom’s hazel eyes which add a bit of mystery to his chiseled features. He is always precisely dressed, even if his current style might looked mussed. He knows himself, who he is and what he is capable of and is confident in that skill.
Personality: Rowan is a little on the quiet side. He has a solid sense of self, and really only speaks up when he’s moved. And he only makes claims about his skill that are entirely true. A lot of people still view him as egocentric and a boaster. He is bold and people notice Rowan when he walks into a room. He is tough to miss and often has several admirers.
Special Talents: He’s got a fashion sense most Vogue editors would die for. Rowan loves clothing. He consumes fashion from across the spectrum, and sketches his own. He somehow managed to pick up sewing--probably that home ec class in middle school and some you tube videos. In middle school, he starts altering his own clothes. He can take something apart and turn it into something else entirely. Rowan’s got his own ideas about what’s hot and his style changes like the weather. 
Who they like better: This might be a toss up, both his parents have a keen fashion sense, which Rowan appreciates. And neither of them judges his every malleable sense of style. When he goes through his kilt phase, they go with it and even go so far as to introduce him to their tailor so that he can learn more about his chosen hobby. By the end of high school, he’s sketching his own designs and makes a prom dress for his girlfriend at the time and makes his own suit.
Who they take after more: Colin. Rowan definitely looks up to his father as a prime example. He sees Colin’s ease within his body now, and knows that is something one has to work at. Luckily, he’s had a solid example of it all along. 
Personal Head canon: He was twelve the first time he stole a car. Furia and Colin knew his penchant for cars and were careful about keeping their keys put away. He was sleeping over at a friend’s and they wanted ice cream at like 2 am. Rowan volunteered that he could drive them. He did. They probably wouldn’t have gotten caught if the lady in the drive through hadn’t called the cops when she served a car full of six tween boys. Rowan did give the cops a run for their money for about ten blocks until they PITed him into a line of parked cars. He might have gotten in trouble, but he became a god among his friends that night. People talked about that night all the way through high school. It helped preen his ego a bit.
Face Claim: (Lara Santiago)
Tumblr media
Bonus: Sean
Name: Thalia
Gender: Non-binary
General Appearance: Red hair, hazel eyes, short with a medium build. She tends to dress down more than up, going for comfy baggy clothes that make her feel comfy and warm. Thalia kind of wears her clothes like a shield or a shell and is likely to be found tucked away in a hoodie.
Personality: Quiet, unimposing. She’s a bit of an intellectual with an artistic streak. It’s not really surprising given her parents’ proclivities for artistic endeavors. She’s an extreme introvert, who makes friends slowly. But the friends she does make, she keeps her entire life.
Special Talents: Watercolor painting. She adores the way the color blooms on the page. It brings her a great sense of peace to paint. She likes to toy with colors, the way the bleed and flow into one another and change and merge. She’s drawn into the movable nature of the medium.
Who they like better: Sean, because he’s a bit more like her. Furia can be a little too bold and vibrant and Thalia is much more interested in calm and quiet. She and Sean can both just sit in silence, reading or painting, and while away a day without uttering a word.
Who they take after more: Again, Sean. This lovely girl is definitely a daddy’s girl. They can have intense conversations in a silent series of looks, which sometimes makes Furia feel a little left out. 
Personal Head canon: When she was young, Thalia wished she could be a little more like her mother. She tried dance classes, which she never quite even got adequate at. She would try to get into the things that interested her mother, but it never panned out. She burned down the kitchen once, and it was years before she’d ever try to help her mother cook again and when she did it was only ever with salads or prep, nothing that involved fire.

Couple learn of four-lane highway plans months after buying Moreton Bay property
Couple learn of four-lane highway plans months after buying Moreton Bay property
When Zac Potter and Emma Sorenson first set eyes on their Moreton Bay property, the house was disheveled, but they knew the 5-acre koala sanctuary was going to be their “forever home”. But a few months later, doubt was cast on their plan when a neighbor revealed that a four-lane highway might run through their house. Planning is underway for the Bruce Highway Western Alternative to improve…

As the world probably knows, 2018 would have been Leonard Bernstein’s 100th birthday,  also that of Jerome Robbins.  Bernstein was a musical genius as a conductor, music educator on television and a composer of classical music, ballets, and broadway musicals.  In our part of the world Barrington Stage Company has produced a dynamic West Side Story while Tanglewood has dedicated several programs to Bernstein with special focus the week of August 18th through the 25th, his actual birthday.
In addition to West Side Story his musicals include On the Town, Wonderful Town, Trouble in Tahiti, a seldom-produced Peter Pan and Candide, which straddles Broadway musical and light opera and was part of the week-long celebration in a staged performance on August 22nd and 23rd in Ozawa Hall.
The show has had a long and controversial history.  In 1953 playwright Lillian Hellman (The Little Foxes, The Children’s Hour, Toys in the attic, etc.) suggested to Bernstein they should collaborate on a musical version of Voltaire’s satirical novella.  Hellman had never written a comedy and highly respected director Tyrone Guthrie was a newcomer to Broadway.  After several stops and starts (at the same time Bernstein was working on West Side Story with Arthur Laurents, Jerome Robbins and Stephen Sondheim) the show opened on December 1, 1956 featuring Barbara Cook and Robert Rounesville for seventy-three performances, not a lengthy run.  Arguments and accusations were bandied about followed by relief that it closed.
A 1973 restructured version directed by Hal Prince with Mark Baker, Lewis J. Stadlen and Maureen Brennan at the Brooklyn Academy of Music later transferred to Broadway.  The new libretto was written by Hugh Wheeler with contributions by Sondheim, Richard Wilbur, John Latouche as well as Bernstein.  It ran for almost two years.  A third production in 1997 featured Jim Dale, Andrea Martin, Jason Danielly and Arte Johnson for a 104 performances.
The music for the recent celebratory production was performed by The Knights, a 23-member ensemble under the artistic director brothers Colin, a violinist, and Eric Jacobsen, conductor.  At first a loosely structured chamber music group, they cooperatively developed their arrangements and incorporated in 2007.  Every musician contributes to the interpretation of any given piece creating a sense of camaraderie and a unified approach.  Their sound in back of Candide was glorious.
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
The principals, Miles Mykkanen (Candide, Tenor,) Sharleen Joynt (Cunegonde, Soprano,) Margaret Gawrysiak (Old Lady, mezzo-soprano) and Evan Jones (Pangloss, Voltaire, Cacambo. baritone) had glorious voices that helped to define the characters.  The ensemble, dressed in Commedia dell’arte costumes and whiteface, were energetic with impressive voices.
The production, with a cast of 13, directed by Alison Moritz and choreographed by John Heginbotham, sparkled.  With minimal props and set pieces, the staging was inventive utilizing the hall’s expansive stage while the choreography was dazzling.
Aaron Copp’s stage and lighting design enhanced the production’s objectives by focusing attention on the action and the vocalists.  The costumes designed by Amanda Seymour, using the Commedia as a basis, were colorfully fitting for the style of production as were Tommy Kurzman’s wigs and make-up design.
Bernstein and all his creative partners would have been exhilarated by this Candide.  Regrettably it had only two brilliant performances.
Candide by Leonard Bernstein, (Scottish Opera Edition of the Opera House Version – 1989) Book by Hugh Wheeler based on the satire by Voltaire; Lyrics by Richard Wilbur with additional lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, John Latouche, Dorothy Parker, Lillian Hellman and Leonard Bernstein; Orchestrations by Leonard Bernstein and Hershy Kay; Musical continuity and additional orchestrations by John Mauceri; For The Knights: Colin Jacobsen and Eric Jacobsen Artistic Directors; Music Director and Conductor; Eric Jacobsen; Cast: Miles Mykkanen (Candide) Sharleen Joynt (Cunegonde) Margaret Gawrysiak; Evan Jones (Pangloss/Voltaire/Cacambo) Alexander Elliot (Maximilian/Grand Inquisitor/Sea Captain) Alex Mansoori (Baron/Governor/Vanderdendur/Ragotski) Sarah Larsen (Paquette) Zoe Johnson (Ensemble) Emma Sorenson (Ensemble) Chandler Johnson (Ensemble) Luke MacMillan (Ensemble) John Eirich and Courtney Lopes (Dancers); Running time: Two hours, thirty minutes, including one intermission; August 22-23, 2018; Tanglewood, Ozawa Hall, Lenox, MA.
REVIEW: The Knight Present “Candide” at Tanglewood by Macey Levin As the world probably knows, 2018 would have been Leonard Bernstein's 100th birthday,  also that of Jerome Robbins.

INDIE 5-0: 5 Q’S WITH THE LOVE-IN’S LAUREL SORENSON
Tumblr media
The Love-In met on Tinder in 2015. Back then, they were loners looking for nothing more than some free meals and a little hanky-panky on the side. What they found was true love-in. Since then the Nashville-based rock and roll band has toured the country, honing their sound, which consists of visceral lyrics, rock and roll guitar solos, and 1960s girl-group inspired harmonies. The band consists of lead singer and pianist Laurel Sorenson, Emma Holden on guitar, drummer Michael Rasile, and bassist Max Zikakis.
1. What is the inspiration behind your latest single, "As It Lays"?
This song was inspired by Joan Didion’s 1970 novel, "Play it As it Lays." I read it at a time when it felt like my whole life was falling apart. Didion’s journalistic approach to despair resonated with my own outlook. The main character has very little personal sovereignty, but finds that driving on the freeway each morning is a way to bring order to her personal chaos.
“As it Lays” is about coming to grips with the idea that the universe is detached and unsentimental. It’s a game of chance and all you can do is play the cards you’ve been dealt.
2. At what age did you realize that music is a career you wanted to pursue; what was your ‘ah-ha’ moment?
I think that I subconsciously always wanted to pursue music as a career. I always loved music and secretly dreamed of being on stage, but I never allowed myself to consider it because I didn’t think it was something I could actually do. I always wrote poems and played piano, but I didn’t put the two together until I was 15. When I started playing in bands and performing in front of people, it just became my entire reality.
3. Who are your musical inspirations? What artists inspired you to start your career and find your musical passion?
Amy Winehouse is someone whose songwriting style influenced me from an early age. She’s both blunt and tender in her imagery, and I like the sense of humor she brings to her lyrics. Carole King was also a big influence. Reading about her commercial approach to songwriting and how much time she spent writing every day gave me a sense of the reality of being a professional songwriter at a time when it seemed like an ephemeral dream. I also love her percussive approach to the piano.
4. What do you hope to learn musically from this unpredictable year?
This year has reminded me of the value of stillness. When there is a lot of stimulation in your day to day life, it’s easy to get caught up in the momentum. You get distracted by the things that are right in front of you and it can stop you from seeing the whole picture. I hope this year continues to teach me to take the long view on life, music, and where this country is headed.
5. What else do you have in store for us this year? Can you tell us about your new EP As It Lays?
The Love-In is going to keep releasing songs and we’re planning a couple of livestreams to showcase the songs on the EP. The rest of the EP follows the theme set up in the song “As it Lays.” It’s about finding personal sovereignty and twisting social norms to reveal their confining nature. We’ve been playing these songs live for a while now, and they’re pretty raucous in that setting. I’m excited for listeners who’ve seen us play these songs on the road to hear them in the more polished format in which they appear on the EP.
