Life Between Living (MFA Grad Recital 2022)

Happy Friday Anomalies!

It's the last Friday of the year and although December was rough, I felt like a Feel Good Friday was a must. The concept life between living is something I started contemplating on when I was in college snorting crack, just kidding. I found that there are two lives: the one we live and the one we look at. When we're living it, we're going through the motions and our routines. When we look at it, we analyze themes, patterns, recurring events and life lessons to help us understand our experiences. This song is about drawing inspiration from life, recognizing that we are all special in our own unique ways and that we all have a seat at the universe's table. Every time I listen to or perform this song, it makes me happy.

Speaking of happy - Thank you to each and every one of you for your support this year!! It's made my heart swell with milk chocolate goodness. You inspire me to continue creating and to believe.

Happy New Year!

With heart, Shaharoh

Life Between Living

Thoughts in my head, pages I've read, words that I've said are lightning

Places I've been, streets 'round the bend, faces of friends invite me

To another life, free of fight, not afraid to start it over

Nothing in my way except my own shadow

Easy to drown when everyone is around, you feel like no one's watching

Just a matter of time till you've arrived, we all can share the spotlight

But until then my words live inside dreams above my pillow

Nothing in my way except my own shadow

Why do we stand in our way?

If you think you've lost, remember the cause ain't about losing or winning

Beauty is alive if you realize how to see a life between living

Can you feel the love from all you know, don't be afraid to wear the halo

Nothing in our way except our own shadow
