Pure Voice

“Before music was a genre, it was a release.

A young girl sings alone. Eyes closed. No stage. No audience. Just the pure act of a human being letting sound out because staying quiet was no longer possible. This is music before it became anyone’s job.

We all began this way. As small people who cried when we needed to cry. Who laughed too loudly. Who sang to ourselves in the car because the feeling had to go somewhere. And then we grew up, and we learned to keep the feeling in the correct-sized container.

This image isn’t about singing.

It’s about the sound your interior life would make if you finally let it out.

What feeling has been building in you — that would like, at last, to become a sound only you can make?”
