As It Was Written

Garret Doll

This is the beginning of “As it was written. The story behind the song”. In 2022 we will begin a journey into the life of a song from the songwriter. A song heals us in moments of sadness. A song lifts us up when we need lifted. A song brings us clarity when we are unclear or calms us when we are angry. A song gets us excited to go out when we want to go out. A song helps us celebrate, cry, party, smile, or breath. A song gives us strength when we fear and a song can bring us together. A song can takes us back to a moment in our lives that we want to remember for a moment or a song can take us to places we’ve never been. A song tells a story. There is always the perfect story for the moment you are in. Let’s get to know the songwriter. Where did the idea come from? The process to write it. Let’s be a sponge in the world of music. Let’s come together for a song.

Priscilla Block showed up on my FYP on TikTok 2 years ago and I sent her a DM and asked her for her song "Just About Over You" to play on the radio (before she had a record label deal and before she even had a fully produced version of it, it was that good). We get to know Priscilla and how the song "Just About Over You" came about during the pandemic. She is so much fun.
