Behind The Songs Ep 5: California

Hello KG Records family :)

Episode 5 of Behind The Songs is out today! I realized after shooting it that I did a pretty terrible job of recapping my experience in Jakarta... so if you don't know about that saga, read through my blog post about it here--it will definitely help set the tone for this one. (The short version is my band and I were trapped in Jakarta for 100 days facing potential jail time. It was one of the most intense and formative experiences of my life.)

I'll keep it short since the video is already a billion minutes long. Thank you all so much for allowing me to reminisce on my In The Waiting album before we move forward into new music. It's been so incredibly meaningful for me.

Sending lots of love your way <3

For your money loan needs do not hesitate to leave him an email. I can leave you his contact address email / banque.generale@gmx.it I apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding

Your stories make you more relatable and real. Thank you for your transparency. There was a time when I was falsely accused of something horrible and I felt the same way. I was a single mom and their future depended on the outcome too. I had to face the uncertainty head on and allow myself to trust in my strength to overcome whatever is ahead. These times make us realize the we’re stronger than we know, we need people for support, and being should be very thorough In our choices. Good comes from every trial when we choose to find it. Not saying what we go through is good, but we can pull something from it and create benefit for ourselves or others. I just began Patreon, and you’re my first view. I woke up, open to the app and there you were. I have a new friend I can relate to! I save animals over my life from birds to bunnies so, I can relate to your stories as well. Thank you for all you share.

YOU are inspiration for ME🎶🎶🎶🎶

Thank you so much for revealing your feelings to us. You know that "For Now" is so deep and haunting to me. "California" introduces us to the pain and personally destructive forces of the "Jakarta" experience. I can hardly wait for your Behind the Song explanation of "For Now".

Even though it's been some years since Jakarta it still hurts me to hear that story... I'm so grateful that you are still with us Kina &lt;3

Freedom is nice.. I wanna be free to trevel globally... ♥️✌️🌅

I LOVE that your final solution if faced with years of jail time was to meditate all day and reach enlightenment! 🙏💖

California is my favorite from the album. That rawness, that simplicity. ❤️

PS. Having a bit of deja vu moment here. I feel like maybe all this have been said before? EDIT: it's the wall sockets right? we've talked about those before!

Thank you Kina, I think you did a great job talking about this. Having to be okay with not knowing, not denying yourself the pain... so good to hear it all. This song always strikes right into my Californian core.

California is my favorite song on the album. Whenever I listen to it, I always end up playing it over and over. Like you said, it's got that rawness to it. Longing. Despair. And yet calming, somehow. Like a sunset on a warm summer night. &lt;3 Also, your wall sockets look like shocked emojis :D
