Unbroken

When I wrote this song, it began as a love note to myself, but then images of survivors of all kinds, people in the grips of cruelty came into my mind. I saw the bright spirits of those trapped and captive to human hatred and I felt my own rage and sorrow. I have often experienced myself as broken, and just as often, seen my core as totally intact. Both are true, both are teaching me. This is a prayer, this is my vision. The ones who came for you can never have you.To purchase this song for $1, go to https://rythealee.bandcamp.com

Empty Little Pockets

Year after year, I looked inward to what was hurting me and made sure to heal it so that my daughter wouldn’t get it coming at her. I found thousands of corners of pain that needed holding and expression. I became the Mother to myself that I never had. Then I brought all that care to my beautiful child who deserved a fresh start, a safe childhood, a playground of freedom. I was weary from such hard work and from the vulnerability of being open, and then I wrote this song.

Falling Backwards: Kyra, Robyn, Rythea Lee

We are a trio of songwriters who have been writing together since Kyra and Robyn (sisters) were small children. I was their babysitter and through 20 years, became their band member and family. This is our most recent song. We write our songs by taking turns writing lines of melody and lyrics in a very democratic process. We seem to write better and better songs although we are in love with all our songs and the phases of our lives they reflect.
