Learning to Fly

TOPIC: Hitting a Whole New Groove After 20 Years of Marriage

What Does It Mean to Really Soar as a Couple?

My favorite thing about this song is that it grew out of a couple making it through a serious TIGHT SQUEEZE and coming out so much stronger on the other side--astonished with their own strength, more deeply connected, and laughing that great, fabulous laugh of relief and joy you feel when you somehow land, together, in the right place.

Who do YOU become when the going gets tough? What does it mean, in those most challenging moments, to risk, to dare, to trust your gut, and, importantly, to truly move closer to the one beside you, rather than to pull away? This song explores what's on the other side, in life, when what you do together in the face of a tough challenge on the ground, is to LEARN TO FLY...

TOPIC: Navigating Through Pain into Self-Discovery

Waking Up to Your Own Beauty

There is magic all OVER the story of this song.

When Rose approached me at the end of a yoga class where I had been playing interpretive guitar, neither of us could have imagined the journey we were about to take, together and separately, in the bringing to life of this song. Rose says, "It feels so good to FEEL again," with an acknowledgement that this song helped that to happen in her life. There have been 4 (!!) magical things that have occurred already (!!) regarding this song and its short life. And probably more to come, we if keep our eyes open, now that it is "out there" and ready to meet the world...

Rita lost her husband and long-time life-partner (and dance-partner) Dick, this past January. To commemorate his life and celebrate their relationship, she came up with a truly original idea: Why not commission a song that could be choreographed, so that she could dance to it, at his memorial service, as a way of celebrating his life and honoring their life-long love of dancing!

I thought this was an incredibly brave undertaking on her part. I listened carefully as she told me all about

TOPIC: WAKING UP INSIDE YOURSELF

A Journey Into a Deeper Place of Gratitude From Within

This week I completed the 200th song I've written and recorded in the studio! And I wanted to share with you that I've discovered that the one song I listen to the most of all, out of all of those two hundred--the one I am moved by, on a regular basis, is one I created just last year, entitled, "Of Grace and Gratitude."

Today I want to share with you the song Andy created with me for his 12-year-old daughter, despite the fact that he was unable to speak or move, because of his disease.

TOPIC: A Song That Invites You to See Life All Around You, Anew

What Would Happen if You Dared to Rise?

I once heard a woman speak, and what she had to say was so powerful that it it instantaneously and dramatically changed almost everything about the way I eat, that very day. And I have deeply, meaningfully stayed with this shift, two full years later.

Not long after that, I was asked by this same woman to partner with her to create a song that honors the Unitarian Universalist principal, "Honor All Beings." It took longer for me to write this song than any song I have ever written in my life - months and months and months.

But from the moment it was finally created, this song started spreading to new places. It made its way all the

TELL THE TRUTH
Anna Huckabee Tull & Ksenia Mack

I've been being held hostage by my desire to tell you
Something other than what's been going down
And I believe this is costing me just a little bit more than
I believe I need to charge myself this time around

I been messing with the pieces
Trying to get myself to believe this (tell)
Tell the truth now (oh, tell)
Tell the truth now.

I've been being held hostage by my desire to paint some
Oil on canvas of me farther down the road than I am
And I believe this is robbing me of my ability
To just explore the good fortune of all that I can

I've been measuring relief out
With an eye-drop and a tweezer, now (tell)
Tell the truth now (I got to, got to, got to tell)
Tell the truth now.

And I don't have to wait 'till someone asks me
And I don't have to wait for catastrophe to comes to pass here
And I don't need a crisis in order to come forth
And I don't need to be the one I 'm waiting for (tell)
I can tell the truth now (I can tell)
I can tell the truth now.

And I don't have to wait 'till someone asks me
And I don't have to wait for catastrophe to come to pass here
And I don't need a crisis just to come forth
And I can go if I'm the only one I was...waiting for
To tell the truth now...I'll tell the tell the tell the tell
I can tell the truth now.
Tell!
