Radio Interview: Award Winning FolkPop Sensation, Morgan Bracy

Award Winning FolkPop Sensation, Morgan Bracy

February 18, 2009 - An ON THE STREET interview. I am a girl in love with life ...all of it - sadness, joy, anger, excitement, peace. Expression is powerful. I want to use it to ignite life through lyric and song. I'm in love with all of life, because I've pretty much (pretty much) experienced it all major loss - like, "I'll see you on the other side"; minor loss - like, "Crap, I dropped my ice cream cone and I just paid $6 for it!"; love and feeling on top of the world; rejection and carrying the world on my broken shoulders; being the underdog and wanting to be admired; being admired and wanting to go and hide; loosing a lot; winning more than I deserve, ever; surprise - like when you think you know someone and they completely shake you by doing a 180; and amazement - like when you know, you just know, something is NOT going to work out and then it does. So, why only write happy, happy love songs? I have a romantic view that everyone's life is a beautiful story that ends with a lovely bow wrapped round it like a gift, and I hope that's true. Living it in the process, though, doesn't feel so pretty and intentional. Sometimes it sucks, plain and simple. I released my first independent album, Dirty Laundry, in early 2007. It is a compilation of about a year and a half of thoughts and writing. I used Nashvegas (Nashville, TN) studio musicians on half the album, and the guys from my band on the other half. It was a fun and eye-opening project. I exposed a lot of myself in it, and I hope you will take the time to purchase and listen to it. I had not so much as released Dirty Laundry when I met John Merchant (Barbara Streisand, The BeeGees, Celine Dion, etc.), producer / engineer extraordinaire. He contacted me again after listening to the album, and we began working on a whole new project of which you can hear three songs on myspace completed to date. It's been a whole lot of fun, and I'm extremely excited to see what we come up with for the rest of the project. The idea behind it is that we are told stories that portray the "perfect" life and set the pattern for our little minds as children. Bless our hearts, we begin to believe our lives have to follow this mold in order to be great. The truth is, they don't. Things don't work out the way we plan always, or ever. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the way you behold your life is the only judge of whether you view it as beautiful at its end. Man-made patterns never compare to the grandeur of nature and its art of surprise. So go our lives. This project is going to have a grand sound, much like a soundtrack. I hope you like it. I think you will! So, let me know what you think, and I hope to see you around! There you have it!
