I have these fantasies where I\u2019m like a social media expert and am all up on instagram and facebook and my blog and keeping up with it all. But fact is, these songs I wrote\u2026 they describe my situation very well. It\u2019s busy and exhausting and all-consuming. I honestly don\u2019t know how I even made an album. Especially considering I was unmedicated at the time, ha!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>[side note: a blog post or so ago I bragged about how I was getting off of SSRIs. After months of debilitating panic attacks, I\u2019m back on the med train. So kudos to those of you who have successfully gotten off the stuff and have figured out other ways to rock at life. And kudos to those of us who realize we have a serious problem and actually legitimately need help from medication.]<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ANYWAY!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m finally getting around to making lyric videos for these songs so they can be up on <a href=\"http:\/\/youtube.com\/ericammusic\">YouTube<\/a>. The songs are available wherever you download your music&#8211; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amazon.com\/music\/player\/albums\/B07RWHM5XT?marketplaceId=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;musicTerritory=US&amp;ref=dm_sh_Y1HSRHcfjPjMi4GINBhHSe0y8\">Amazon Music<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/music.apple.com\/ca\/album\/motherhood-is\/1464113084\">Apple Music<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/5oFmOTRmUjxHssS9u0DnzJ?si=r5AuTs5xQwCP4FXg5vdWFw\">Spotify<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now lets talk about the album\u2019s namesake, this song, Motherhood Is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It took me a while to finish this song. This one came in bits and pieces. And a few of the lyrics actually came from me asking on Facebook what people would describe motherhood as. I got some great responses, and the rest of the song came together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think this song encapsulates (lets pretend I know what that word actually means. I think it means\u2026 I don\u2019t know. It sounded right and spell-check didn\u2019t give me a red squiggle so lets go with it) young motherhood in all of its messy, embarrassing, frustrating, gross, amazing, beautiful glory. Motherhood has completely changed me and I\u2019m so grateful for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So here it is, \u201cMotherhood Is\u201d.
