Tailor

I am always good at projecting my feelings, which I guess sometimes, makes me come across needy and visibly insecure. Instead of shying away and keeping my mouth closed I would rather prefer to wear my heart on my sleeve. If I didn’t communicate the way I do, I wonder if that would make me fall less?

One of my friends has taught me that we all have our faults and that it’s not about how you fail as a person but how you can change someone else’s life by showing them that it’s ok to be human and fall sometimes. I guess love WILL always win in the end…

So this is what my 26 year old heart has observed so far… I fall in LOVE easily. There it is. Pretty simple. I mean, if it wasn’t for my heart being so fragile and sometimes weak, I wouldn’t be able to write the songs I have written.  MY flaw has become people’s stories. MY flaw has become people’s voices.

So even if you do fall sometimes, there will always be someone picking you up on the other side.

Whichever God you believe in, in the end we are all believing in LOVE. So even if you do fall more then you would like to, always know, that someone else can learn from your flaw your mistake.

So yes dear Sir…In the end LOVE has won this little game and the Hero can always walk on, holding his head up high.

Hi everyone

I haven’t blogged in forever. To be honest I had nothing to write about till now…I’ve been meeting some awesome people at my shows. People like YOU ,who have taken the time to get to know me. It’s great to know people are listening and opening their hearts to my stories.

I have met this one person in particular who has taught me that life is so much more then THIS. “This” meaning, that fame, money and approval doesn’t matter. You need to keep reminding yourself that living above and beyond “earthly stuff” is key in living a successful life. Putting God first, in ALL I do, is key for me in living a successful life. What’s key for you?

Don’t get me wrong, boy oh boy do I mess up in my life sometimes. But as long as you are working towards getting stronger in becoming a better person then that is all that matters in Gods eyes.

Now….for some musical thoughts….:)

I have been playing some amazing shows and being nominated for 2 SAMA AWARDS is just as cool as opening an awesome gift on Christmas morning..eeeeek!! What a blessing!

I really hope you do enjoy reading my blogs….

Bye for now and much LOVE right back to you!

Please let me remind you that I’m no professional blogger. Purely a girl/musician sitting in front of her computer, chooses a song to listen to on her mac and then starts typing away on thoughts. Thoughts that are hopefully interesting enough to read through and relate to or be inspired by.

Song of choice today: Threads by a band called THIS WILL DESTROY YOU. They are an instrumental band that I so madly fell in love with. Check them out and listen to this track. I am sure you will love it as much as I do.

Where do I begin…I love routine. But in the music industry there is none of that. Not even a little.. It’s important to keep yourself balanced and checked. You can easily lose who you are. I must admit I felt a little unbalanced the other day. It’s like the world was pulling at my seems and one by one I was all over the place. I learned though that only you can make the decision to get out of that mind set and into another. We are all human. Music has taught me that without it, life seems patientless, anxious and dark. Music is my spiritual safe haven that God has blessed me with. Is music like that to you? What does it mean to you? All I know is that  Music saved my life.

I got this crazy opportunity to open up for Yoav at Kirstenboch gardens. I was blown away by the response I received. It was like 3000 angels sitting and embracing what I find to be so passionate about. Music.

I have met so many amazing people on this journey. Your stories have all inspired me. Thank you for making this seem so easy even when your living on 3 slices of toasts a day..Yes it can be done:)haha

Lots of love

Without Life always throwing such crazy curveballs we wouldn’t feel like we are living to the fullest,, right?

For the first time in years I am feeling fulfilled in my heart. I am trying not to sound to naive and cheesy here. But its true. I guess when you love people as much as I do, your heart gets filled up with smiles and words of wisdom. A good friend of mine Sue Wildisch always use to say “Know you are as a musician, in that way no one can steer you off your path”. Those words have manifested itself and I fully comprehend it now. Words of wisdom like this one, makes me feel fulfilled.

I have met so many amazing people the last few months. One person in particular…. He taught me that loving someone means comprehending their love, manifesting their love. In that way your eyes will never wonder or question cause your heart will always steer you right back onto your path. Isn’t that just amazing? God always sends amazing angels onto my road. So thank you!

Thank you for reading this Tailor made fans…May it inspire you:)

I am off to bed now..

Hi Everyone..

Hope all is well with you Tailor made peeps.  I have been doing so much press for my debut album The Dark Horse. The experience has been fulfilling and life changing in so many ways. Meeting all of you, the people who get inspired by my music that’s what it’s all about for me. I am truly touched by peoples stories and that’s why God has blessed me with this talent to be such a influence on your lives-a positive influence:)

I have been going through a lot of big and personal changes in my own life and boy oh boy is it nice to start over…difficult.. but nice:)

- Isn’t life just the weirdest thing:)

Keep strong and carry on!

Love

Hi guys

So I’m leaving Cape Town in a few days to be supporting act for Zebra and Giraffe on their Wisest Ones tour. For tour dates please see Facebook events page.

I am really excited to be travelling and seeing parts of the country that I have never seen before. I must say the only shit part of a tour is living out of a suitcase for a month. As a lady it’s not very practical:)

Blast from the past, I am performing with The Parlotones on the 31^st of August. I haven’t seen the guys in years so would be great to catch up and and an honour to play with them as part of their SA tour. (See my facebook page for more info)

I played on SA FM this morning, was great fun and Michelle Constantine was a great interviewer. It is always a awesome feeling when I can reach a mass of people via a radio interview.

A million thanks for supporting me on this journey and thanks for buying my album!

Lots of Love

Tailor

Hi everyone… If you haven’t bought the album yet or if you have bought it via I tunes and you can’t read the lyrics here they are..as asked for by you!

Wolf was one of the first songs I wrote while recording demo’s in studio. I remember feeling high after writing it. The words and emotion was God sent. It was one of the easiest songs to write but one of the most difficult songs to record.

Rain falls down my cheek
I wish I , I wish I knew better then I know now
Forrest rain coming down my soul

15 seconds ago

2x As the darkness fills my soul
The way I don’t know I don’t know
Everything you do is oh so so

As the wolf comes running and running we did.

Rain falls down my cheek
I remember it well when you said goodbye
Holding my hand so tightly
my phone burns down my soul
as the wolf comes running and running we did

Hi Tailor made folks…
