Series: Songs That Saved Me This week’s Songs That Saved Me episode is a little different… because the song we’re talking about is mine.My first original track, “Fall From Grace,” is officially live on Spotify, and I wanted to take you behind the scenes of how it came to life — the emotions that built it, the moments that shaped it, and why writing it cracked something open in me that I didn’t even realise I’d been holding shut for years.This episode isn’t about being a singer or chasing a dream of music.It’s about survival.It’s about finally having a way to express anger, shame, guilt, desperation, loneliness, and all the things I’ve carried for way too long.I talk about: • the creative process • how AI actually helped me express things I couldn’t put words to • what the lyrics really mean • the emotional weight behind the song • why letting yourself express something — in any way — can change the way you carry itNo advice, no preaching — just my experience and what’s been working for me.If you’ve been sitting with emotions you don’t know how to process or things you don’t know how to let go of… I hope this episode helps you feel less alone.🎧 Listen to “Fall From Grace” on Spotify — link in bio🩶 #TheComebackIsReal⏱️ Chapters00:00 — Intro: A Different Kind of Episode00:45 — The Moment I Realised I Needed to Write This Song02:10 — Why Music Has Always Said What I Couldn’t03:20 — Using AI to Pull Emotions into Something Real05:00 — The Hardest Parts to Write (and Why)06:30 — What the Lyrics Actually Mean for Me Personally08:15 — The Feelings I’ve Carried for 10 Years09:40 — Shame, Guilt, Anger — All the Stuff I Never Spoke About11:00 — Why Expressing Yourself in Any Form Matters12:20 — My Hope for Anyone Listening13:15 — Can I Play the Song Here?
