I was so excited to get Ben Blohowiak! First time for me :)

I listened for several days, so many amazing stems and samples from Ben. Finally decided on Nonredundant — the low synth bass line literally matched the chorus of a song I’d just started writing. The loop and other quality stems slotted right in and took the song into this incarnation. It felt like fate.

I’ve been going through a really intense rupture in my family— I was screaming and crying into the vocal mic as the words spilled out.

Special thanks to John Jones for playing some killer electric guitar tracks, giving me mix notes and mastering the mix.

I added piano, strings, bass, and some other random synth parts.

The foundation is all Ben.

All I could think while I wrote, sang and recorded this was:
show some f*ck!ng LOVE!!!

You Promised
by Madam Snowflake

You detonate
A seismic earthquake
Spewing thick, sick pessimism
Boiling hot, your narcissism
Our castle is burning

But I believe
You can be
What you promised me
Though I can’t see
I believe
You can be
Who you promised me

But you’re failing

Your words force us to face
Your faith that has fallen from grace
Living gap gaping so wide
Broken pledge she’s left behind
In our castle that’s burning

I believe
You can be
What you promised me
Though I can’t see
I believe
You can be
Who you promised me

But you’re failing

I’ll store my sword in its scabbard
And wear the armor of truth
To conjure open a doorway
Hoping you’ll walk through

So I build a bridge
With a gate for you
And I build a bridge
Hoping you’ll walk through

So I build a bridge
With a gate for you
And I build a bridge
Praying you’ll walk through

I believe
You can be
What you promised me
Though I can’t see
I believe
You can be
Who you promised me

So I build a bridge
With a gate for you
And I build a bridge
Praying you’ll walk through
