“A Personal Thank You”
-Feenix
Last year I wrote a beautiful number based on a beautiful woman in one of the most beautiful times of my life….at least living-wise (lol). I didn’t expect it to turn into what it’s turned into. While the streams have been amazing, there are mixed opinions on the number and exactly what it represents. It doesn’t represent rejection per-say, it doesn’t represent misery, it sometimes makes me laugh how people determine an artists life based on their music alone.
I met JC during a time I was grieving my mother and getting over a pretty bad engagement, drinking heavily all day everyday…so bad to the point to where I thought I needed to join AA, later finding out I wasn’t an alcoholic but used alcohol as a coping mechanism. Meeting JC changed me in many ways that I never shared with anyone but those close to me: drinking everyday blurred my memory bad. There were some instances I would run into people I had met before and didn’t remember who they were. I wanted to remember JC and to be honest i was afraid I wouldn’t. After meeting her is when I slowed down heavy drinking and eventually gave it up. She is a woman of strong intelligence, intellectual when she chooses to be, and of course stunning in every possible way. I found myself wanting her company, while I didn’t really get /haven’t gotten the full on honor of knowing her all too well and or earning her company beside me as I wanted (embarrassing lol); but she was inspiring enough to write about. I’ve written numerous songs about her, but this one stood out to me and I loved the direction it was headed the second I wrote the first verse. I’m happy to at least know the person I know of now, and that the universe sent her in my direction. Truly grateful.
Originally this song wasn’t supposed to be picked up as a single but last minute shit happened and….here it is. The #1 single on “CREATOR” and Platinum. I am highly grateful as a writer and an artist because this is something not many indie or endorsed artists in general get to see. My advice has always been and will always be to write your thoughts, write your feelings, make them art, fear judgement last if at all. Thank you for listening, I will continue to give it my all.
