My new song Lady in Waiting is out. I’ve waited. Most of us have waited. For life to begin or re-begin. For drops of illumination, clarity, change, freedom. I didn’t think this song was about me while writing it. It was about the women I’ve watched at a distance on the NYC subway or the streets of Nairobi. I am sometimes paralyzed with empathy or love and want to hold their hands and just hang out. My friend David Garza brought this idea to me. He said, “you are all of these women. They guide you, us, everyone.” The song wrote itself as I deep dived into where I’d been in this world and what I absorbed without even knowing it.
