THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE

We’ve been walking in the cold for what seems like hours – I can’t feel my feet and I want a hot shower – I’m young, somewhere around 21, he wears coke bottle glasses, he’s American. We’re standing under an orange streetlight outside his apartment it’s November and now the first snowflakes start to fall in slow motion silence down out of the dark – jim, out of everything this moment is burned into my heart. Along with apple cinnamon tea, red wine , bright autumn colours, fresh snow 10 feet deep man I remember all of it. We surely drove each other crazy on the way to being sane but we forgave each other’s weaknesses again and again. And I was brash and reckless – you were tired of illusions and dreams – the dance was drunken and helpless but not without its beauty. The snow melted into a memory and now I’m living in the sun with another blue eyed American strangely enough. And I would think that those days were lived by someone else but for all of these moments lined up on this shelf in my heart a little dog eared a little faded but yet, clear enough to make me smile, sharp enough not to forget that I was loud and full of fire - And you were patient with my youth. And wherever you are right now – and for what it’s worth – thank you. Thank you for the love. From the bottom of my heart: thank you.
For JM.

about

Rachael Brady Sydney, Australia

Rachael Brady has one of those voices you only find in singers grounded by their guts into a life deeply & often messily lived.
It isn't sweet, high or perfect.
It’s a voice that sings its scars & imperfections.
It’ll probably sing some of yours too.
Brady is currently (2024) recording her 4th studio album "Bears, Witches & Wolves" with Blue Mountains based producer Josh Schuberth.
