New Song: "I Found You" KG + Imaginary Future

Hello!

I'm so happy to introduce you to our new song, “I Found You”! Jesse and I were inspired by my sister’s fairy tale of a love story with her now husband (and MY now brother-in-law 🎉), Chris. The magic and joy and depth that sprang from their meeting has been one of the most beautiful and amazing things to witness, and we wanted to honor that with this song and video.

On New Year’s Day, we celebrated their partnership with one of the most heart-warming, tear-inducing, love-filled weddings I’ve ever witnessed, during which we performed "I Found You" for them for the first time, so it only seemed fitting to share some of that day with you all. (Side note: I also delivered what was probably my worst vocal performance of all time due to my focus being entirely used up on keeping myself from bawling 😂) I really hope you guys enjoy the song!

Don't forget we have an online concert on the 27th and I'm looking to you guys for set list inspiration! Be sure to make your song requests on my last post so I can keep track of them :)

ALSO!!!!

Yesterday a new song found me quite out of nowhere, and oh my goodness, I had forgotten what an incredible and magical feeling that is. I spent the rest of the night dancing around and exclaiming to Jesse "OH MY GOSH! I WROTE A SONG? I WROTE A SONG!" It just doesn't get old :) The song is called "Do You See Me". When I wrote it I thought it was about one thing... and then when I sang it for Jesse for the first time a second layer of meaning came out and punched me in the gut and I burst into tears. Oof guys. I don't know what it is about this last year of songwriting but I feel like I keep being called to help people that are dealing with the hard stuff. I'm sure the light and happy songs will be back someday, but for now I gotta follow where the feelings take me. I think I'll be adding this one to the new album and I'm so excited to share it with you.

Thanks for believing in me and supporting my music. I can't really tell you how grateful I am.

Peacefully powerful. Love this.

I love this! Me and my boyfriend said "it's real sweet", as soon as we finished watching it :)

It's so calming... I love it! :)

I don't know how much others understand us artists and musicians but there is only one who looked forward to our middle of the night conversations.

Kina I really liked this soft sentimental song. I'm surprised to hear your dad was the officiant. Those many years I had my ministry license and I ways offered to marry couples and never got to marry even one couple. 😪 My family doesn't share much with other people. There are so many weddings I wanted to attend too. Separation of distance from those I really care about makes everyday life so challenging that I give up more often than I have wanted to. I do not know one person near me who is supportive of me having a serious relationship or marriage or even full time work. My life seems to be interwoven to you and your husband from your music. It gives me something to look forward to. 🤗

ah happy to hear this. they are often my favorite songs to write, and the most important and meaningful in the scope of my life, so it makes me happy when those songs resonate with people (because i know so many folks out there love a happy tune). for me, music often feels it's best when it's dealing with the harder stuff, too.

nate! thanks friend <3

ah this means everything. <3 so happy there is music to connect us all!

If I'm honest, I've always gotten the most out of your music when you've written and performed songs like that, ones that help people "deal with the hard stuff". While happier music is loved, there has always been something particularly cathartic that happens to me when you go into that zone of darker more emotionally charged music. I think it's where most music is at its best..

Heart opening, delightful and beautiful, thank you both for sharing this song and story 💖
