Run With The Wolves
a new song, liberation after grief, and a reclamation of your innate wildness
Dear Reader,
It’s release day of a new song of mine, ‘Run With the Wolves.’ It’s an indie folk song with a touch of feminine rage. Towing the line between grief and liberation that makes you want to dance around a fire and howl at the moon with your closest friends.
I’ve shared in earlier letters the round about way I became an artist. It was never planned, rather discovered, in a moment of grief and despair. At the same time I picked up a guitar, I was reading a book called “Women Who Run With the Wolves” by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés. A text very much about the reclamation of feminine power and wildness.
I was in a fragile state, stripped bare from an entirely different life it feels like now. I was coming to terms with an ego death of mine, having no idea what my next steps might be.
Through music and the reading of that text, piece by piece I started to identify what had been missing all along. Actually—not missing but hidden, suppressed by myself and society. That part I’m referring to was my own intuition and wildness.
My own healing started with surrender and feeling the grief and has now shifted to aligned action.
Over these past few years, I have opened up about my own discoveries and what I stand for through the songs I write. I have had many women come up to me and tell me how they admire my boldness and “uniqueness” in the country crowd. The thing is, they are witnessing what is innately in them too which is most likely why they feel called towards it. I tell them that too.
I am happy to be this conduit or mirror if that means it wakes people up to their own truth and wildness.
This song was recorded and produced by Jared Corder at Polychrome Ranch. Over the course of two days, we tracked various instruments including some sitar and of course some harmonica, and had a good ole time making this one something you could move to. It felt like this song quickly came together but the truth is I’ve been writing this song since the day I picked up a guitar four years ago.
And now it’s yours.
You can listen on Bandcamp with the full lyrics included (& monetarily support if you’d like) or you can check it on all the other streaming platforms including Spotify.
Please feel free to share with the people you feel most seen and loved by, have a wild dance party, and howl at the moon while you’re at it.
Thank you for listening and the support always.
All the love,
Rosemary
