Sometimes a song lyric, filters through me and it comes striking my thoughts, so full of color that I can’t ignore the vibration; I am forced to write. And so, I write.
“Wherever You Are” is one of those songs. My emotions were just right there and somehow I transferred what I was feeling at that very moment, musically. My Korg Triton was turned on and not that far after was I laying down piano chords onto my Cakewalk Sonar recording software.
Getting into an environment where positivity is just flowing through the air makes me feel more than desirous to share what I conceived and gave birth to. Such was the case at Rustik Tavern.
There was live music and the
night was being hosted by my friend Eric Frazier and the fact that the location
of it was right there not too far from me in The Fort Greene section of Brooklyn, NY, made me get over my weariness
real quick so I could be right there amongst the music lovers, musicians and
locals enjoying the atmosphere.
The musicians were inspiring each
other and blaring out a potpourri of wonderful sounds, appeasing to the heart. It was an open mic jam forum and so, I was excited to be able to join in the experience. My original song,
“Wherever You Are” was in my heart
and so, I pulled out my fake sheet for
the tune, handed it to the musicians to accompany me and sang my lyrics.

The song lingered on and it
just became a call-and-response thing and felt good to just let out my sigh for
the day and to have a conversation with the warm hearts that let me in with
their connecting.
Salute to all the songwriters unafraid to let you own words tumble out over your
tongue and into the atmosphere. We conceive songs like babies being created
fearfully and wonderfully. We put melodies together and then our children are
born; our songs created with the spirit God crafted within us. Thank you for
every watch and every like and every comment and every furtherance of action
and any support that you have lent to me in my mission to be who I be more. To
be able to share my gift with you means everything. Hope it inspires you in
some way. And, if it does, please check me out on Spotify and follow, listen or
like the song. Keyword: Stephanie Jeannot.
