I’m really into this notion of music being your friend for life and how certain songs represent a particular point in your life, good or bad. There’s one song that sticks in my mind which represents such a dark time in my life. And now, looking back at it, I can see how much I’ve changed and sometimes it’s hard to play that song. I’ve played and sang other composer’s songs in front of people - let’s just say that it was a few years ago – and I know that if I sang them now, it would be like getting into a time transporter, but the part I’m missing is writing those songs and how I’d feel if I’d written them and gone through the massive personal evolution and identity shifts of the last few years?
The other thing I’ve found about shifting identity is presenting your new self, presenting things you’ve not done before, stuff you’ve not talked about before. It’s interesting how some people will be used to the “old” version of you and how they react to the “new” version of you – or perhaps that should read the “real” version of you. And whether the people, whose reaction to all of these things we fear, do actually give a fuck and how we are perceived is all in our mind. Moreover, why should I care? I went through all of this when I started doing this podcast, started writing, started doing graphic design…ok, so I basically get this whenever I start anything new!
Jennifer Clavin has written and released music over the last 20 years or so, with Mika Miko and Bleached, that is raw, beautifully exhilarating and has that ability to take you to your own time and place – I find this so powerful - and is now steadily releasing a bunch self-recorded, stripped down, incredibly personal, lo-fi songs as “dear francis”, the latest evolution in an emotional musical story.
