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.'

Here we are in the FUTURE! Welcome to 2020 and welcome to Season 2 of your favorite songwriting podcast, 50 Bad Songs! In this episode we ring in the new year by talking about the creative process and being able to let go of something you have created and move on. SPOILER ALERT: it’s not easy. Neither is working alone. BUT we struggle through and make it out the other side with a new song in tow. The song actually turns out real nice and I think you will enjoy it too! As always, let us know what YOU think!
Thank you to everyone who has stuck with us through the great 2019 hiatus. As you will hear, we encountered some difficulties and the podcast has undergone some changes in the last year, BUT we are not letting challenges and difficult times hold us back and we are moving forward anyways! New episodes will come out every month on the 1st of the month. So stay tuned! www.patreon.com/50badsongs
