A voice memo of a new song for you!

Hello my beautiful $5+ patrons!!

While we set up this download site for you (that will have ALL THE DOWNLOADS IN ONE PLACE HUZZAH!!) I wanted to give you this little voice memo!  It's not an actual demo, this is just me recording the song I wrote on my phone so I'd remember it.  I wrote it at the beginning of July and forgot about it, but I found it today and was like...hmm there are some gems in here!  I'm not sure what I'll do with it, but it's nice enough to share for now.  Complete with awkward text "ding" from my computer that I forgot to mute 😬 It's called That's How You Know.

Enjoy, friends!  I'm writing a lot more right now, so get ready for all the memoooos!

When you cry when they’re not around for no reason at all

When they help you fall in love with who you’ve been all along

When there’s not a second that goes by

When they hug your inner child and wipe her tears away

That’s how you know

When you watch yourself unfold like a fresh set of sheets

When the life you think you want lies open and complete

When your phone dies during every call

When there’s no way to walk away without longing

That’s how you know

That’s how you know x3

When they ask you to be strong as they break you

When you pause before saying “I love you more” cause you’re too afraid it’s true

When your feet don’t touch the bottom and the panic hits your chest

That’s how you know

That’s how you know x3

When your friends start to ask if you’re ok

When you say you’re tired but you lie there awake

When you bring your whole self in the room and leave with half

That’s how you know

That’s how you know x3

When you grieve the loss of someone you’re going to see tomorrow

That’s how you know

Oof that hits differently, absolutely beautiful! ❤️ Love that! Also the little text notification sound at the end was perfect 😂

Klea

I was thinking the same thing! That's the 'ding' from the fella the song is being sung for!

Adam Karren

So good!

SR Nulton

Absolutely beautiful as always, I feel like so many people could relate to it in so many different ways. I kinda hope that you keep the message notification at the end because it actually works really well with the theme of the song!

Clara's Cats

The timing of that text notification was absolute gold! Definitely going somewhere with this tune, very relatable!

Jonathan Isip

It might be a rough cut, but I agree you have a gem here. 'When they help you fall in love with who you’ve been all along' is the line that had particular meaning for me. And please make the final version end with a little 'ding' like that -- I think it really works!

Absolutely Beautiful and Brilliant. I'm 58, and yet I still don't know, but that's ok. I'm at ewase knowing I never will. Thank you, Malinda.

Mark Hannam

Love the line "When you grieve the loss of someone you are going to see tomorrow"!!!

Danny Underwood

That was really sweet and told a little heartbreaking story! I like it! Who knows, maybe the text notification can be worked in somehow 😂

Allison Popick

Stunning as always!! Also wow, this hits in a certain way just due to current life circumstances! Thank you 💛💛
