We’re baaaack! Last episode I mentioned that I would be taking a little break as I moved to a new apartment and got my studio set back up. I was imagining that it would be maybe the months of June and July of 2022. But life found a way to keep us apart. But in July 2023, I recorded this episode and it took me until today to release it. So I’ve been sitting with this episode’s song for months and I’ve been SO READY to get back on the BS Train.
In this episode, I was inspired by the work of Artist/Author Yumi Sakugawa. Specifically a particular passage from the book "Your Illustrated Guide to Becoming One with the Universe", in the section titled, "We are not just Light, We are not just Darkness, We are Everything":
'So let us get to know our darkness, our demons that exist in the dark shadows of our minds, the aspects of ourselves we feel most ashamed of.
Invite your demon for a slice of cake and a cup of tea.
It might feel awkward and uncomfortable at first.
Allow the demon to say what it feels like saying, feel what it feels like feeling, think what it feels like thinking.
Simply observe and listen with a gentle intention to understand where your demon is coming from.
Let the demon say what it wants to say…and then ask your demon to come back another time for more cake and tea.
Schedule regular tea and cake dates with your demons
Sometimes your demon will give you something in return for your understanding and kindness, something you can only receive for having the courage to face your darkness. A jewel, a beautiful idea, a key to a secret place…
And after a while you may realize that for this whole time your demon was afraid of you and was waiting for you this entire time
For your love, compassion, and time.
Your assignment from the Universe:
Prepare different cake and tea combinations for your different demons.
Once you have gotten to know a good majority of your demons, organize a Dance Party.'

It’s Leap Day today which means we have a whole extra day to play with! I did NOT spend all day inside, editing this episode, that’s for sure! Artist, Songwriter, and Vocal Producer Colby Lapolla joins Tim in the Bad Songs Studio (aka Tim’s house) and they dive deep into Colby’s journey with music and facing your fears. We approached writing the song a little differently than usual opting to start developing the track as we were writing the lyrics, so you will hear it go through MANY iterations before we land on the final song. BUT the final song is very cool and VERY different from anything we’ve ever written on this show. It sounds like something you might hear on the WB before your favorite prime-time drama. ANYways, I hope you enjoy it and as always, let us know what you think!
New episodes on the 1st of every month! Stay tuned!
