Grandma's home
I wrote Grandma's home to process the pain and grief from losing my grandmother. I wanted to create some sort of "time-capsule" that could take me back to the happiest memories from the moments we shared. This is a song about feeling welcome, about finding happiness in simplicity and also about having a magical place in the world where we feel special, valued, appreciated and truly loved by someone.
This song is a tribute to female ancestry and its ability to cherish generations.
Possible side effects of this song:
longing, smile, comfort, nostalgia and heartache.
Drink, eat, cuddle, talk, repeat
Grandmas really know how to make us feel happy, loved, and appreciated. It's as simple as giving time, attention, and affection freely to someone you love.
Celebrating female ancestry
Female ancestry values work done with the hands and the heart, resisting time and technology. The art of mothers and grandmothers creates some kind of stamp on our hearts with their cakes, crafts, songs, stories, teas that cure everything, birthday parties, improvised costumes, and tips on how to take care of the things we love so they become everlasting. Women carry an enormous mental load caring for the next generations, for men and for each other.
Honoring the teachings
Most of the time, all the caring women provide is invisible to society, undervalued, and financially unrewarded. The art of our ancestors was passed down orally, in the simplicity of brave women who had less access to education, books, free time, equal rights and financial independence. Grandma's home is a reminder and an invitation to honor these magical women who came before us, carrying a wealth of traditions and wisdom, passed on through small gestures of care.
Resistance in the form of affection
Many of these women sacrificed their personal dreams to allow their children and women of the next generations to make better choices. We represent resistance through the love we leave in the world.
This is my way of immortalizing my love for my grandma in the form of music.
