Nights of Self-Discovery

Originally titled "September Nights." I felt that the title no longer applied. Instead, I changed it, because the nights that I wrote this music truly were nights of attempting to discover myself again.

The Carnival ©Kelli CatesThe Carnival was therapeutic to write. And all I can say is I'm the only one this will ever make perfect sense to.
But I know that some people can pull some part of this song to apply to their own life. It all started when a friend dared me to put "red balloon" in a song. And I did. Ka-chow. |
Twisted ©Kelli CatesTwisted was written in my second year of college, but I felt it fit this album better. I actually hid this song for a while out of shame, but realized that this song carries a powerful message...it's an anthem of those crying out for help. I warn you now, the words are DARK.

Right Here, Right Now ©Kelli CatesFirst song I ever wrote for my husband. :) I was young, still relatively new to the songwriting world, and wanted to convey my fears that I had been so burned in love prior, but had a small glimmer of hope that he could...you know...save me.

One Day ©Kelli CatesWrote this thinking about the future. I'm a past-dweller, I constantly think of the "could have"s and "should have"s. Not very healthy mindset, but this song helped me to focus on the future.
