Words, Demons, Words
I don’t claim to know about another artist but for my artistry, there is always a song that is hardest to sing on a collection ~ one that conjures up emotion potent and hits me right in the gut. It’s frightening and challenging to sing and vocalize to the point I try to avoid it like the plague!!! Usually the song is a melancholic with highs and lows…with a lyric that cuts like a knife. Enough to make me cringe! These two intertwined together craft what becomes a lasting photograph in people’s minds and hearts. It is but a snapshot of our time and usually a great healing or truth for me the artist.
Songs of reference:
1. Shades Of Grey : http://soundcloud.com/misskristin/shades-of-grey
2. Loneliness And Poverty http://soundcloud.com/misskristin/loneliness-and-poverty
We are prudent to watch our words – We have been taught what we believe is what we manifest for ourselves….so we do our best to rise up and speak those things that be not as though they are. Love feels elusive, yet near or even here….We create to express and surrender control…For it is when we have given up control in our artistry, we are at our finest … and more of a channel for higher enlightenment.
The new movie THE BLACK SWAN is a fine example of how artful expression can affect a human being. I believe everything truly lies in what we believe. Thank you for allowing me to share my art with you!
Please enjoy the music while your party is being reached ! (smile)

Loneliness And Poverty
I believe every human being and some animals at times are faced with the idea of loneliness and poverty. It may come and go.
THERE IS SUCH A THING AS SPIRITUAL POVERTY and poverty is a word that covers much.
There is financial poverty...
There is real hunger, for instance in third world countries. (Now that is impoverished!)
This is writing about "Loneliness and Poverty", the song and the subject.
Listen at: SoundCloud
Featured on Miss Kristin's newest release: WHOLE IN MY SOUL
Listen at MySpace
I wrote the song "Loneliness and Poverty", after a long thought of my fellow man and friends who are homeless and outcast and poor. Take for instance a person who hardly has a quarter for bus fare or food. How might it feel to have nowhere to go and no one to see?
I imagined myself lying on a park bench with nothing but time...no money, not a dime....a transient outsider, banished from family and friends. I went there. I put my own abandonment, loneliness, and fear (all I had ever imagined and experienced) into what another being might be feeling, in hopes of feeling the pain and letting it go. (I went to the place we all are meant to face, and came out the other side)
Why? For my own Wholeness, Freedom, and Justice. I wrote the song "Loneliness And Poverty", knowing the good that would come from my song. (Wholeness, Freedom, Justice)
"Loneliness And Poverty", hmmm I don't buy it and consider it a lie. The breath of life is gift enough for me to rejoice. It was my heart's desire to expose the truth. It was my heart's desire to remind people, that "Loneliness and Poverty" is a state of mind, and not the truth. It was my need to be healed and my purpose to heal others.
Today I have freedom. I do think it takes a bit of effort when the feeling comes to expose the lie-and take control of the mind with right thoughts. It is not anything outside of ourselves that make us whole or complete, but the state of our mind and heart inside that determines our outward lives. There is always someway to GIVE; some way to LIVE free from "Loneliness and Poverty".
Now I am still young and have a way to go, so I do not claim to know everything but today I believe "Loneliness and Poverty" is a deceptive state of mind. Let it go...let it go...

Music, Love and Power
Some of you may be aware of my love for dark moody music. I love artists that seem to write and record songs where others fear to tread. They follow paths of sorrow, and find the seedy places of the soul to express and console. Believe it or not, I find this music quite appealing and healing.
Two of my all time favorite artist’s are THE COWBOY JUNKIES and LUCINDA WILLIAMS. Both of these unique artists approach their music in a slighted and realistic way. I fell in love with The Cowboy Junkies when I was facing a major life rising.
The music bug had hit big and I had realized, I was going to single mindedly write and create my catalog in solitude, and that life would bring what it may. I felt a leading to be set free from any bondage and chains through past hurts that were attempting to hold me and mold me into a frozen tiger. I was going to delve into the deep and come out the other side into the roaring lioness I am today.
Seasons came and went and through them was created what is now this great music you are about to hear. And when the quiet became unbearable, I would put my favorite Cowboy Junkies disc in the player and set a fire in the yard and begin to go to the dark place until it felt so good happiness would return.
Listening to songs about death, loneliness and broken hearts (“Lay It Down” and “Pale Sun Crescent Moon” by The Cowboy Junkies were masterpieces that soothed my soul). The music gave me comfort and caused my own loneliness to leave (perhaps for good). Lucinda Williams “Car Wheels On A Gravel Road” embraced the irony of life and love, and assisted me in patiently waiting for my time to come. These writers helped me become a better writer.
There were other writers too, but the reason I am sharing this thought at all, is to say, don’t be afraid of the dark. You have to go through some things to come out the other side. If you never go there and feel your pain, you will likely stuff it and it will likely affect your quality of life. Music is a safe journey and an easy way to tap into your painful emotions without having to endure trouble.
The quote a phrase by William Congreve, in The mourning bride, 1697
Music has charms to sooth a savage breast,
To soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.
I've read, that things inanimate have moved,
And, as with living souls, have been informed,
By magic numbers and persuasive sound.
My hope is you will delve deeply into my sweet sounds and find yourself changed and moved into a higher place. Be set free from hidden fears. Free to embrace every moment with trust and love.
Carpe diem! (Seize the day!)
Love,
Miss Kristin

LOVE AND PAIN
The other day I was working in the front room of my house with the windows wide open. Outside was a young man in his late twenties or so, crying and screaming into his cell phone as he walked around in front of my house obviously breaking up with his love partner.
He was screaming and crying out, “CAN’T YOU SEE I LOVE YOU? DON’T DO THIS!!! I LOVE YOU!!! WHY ARE YOU RUNNING FROM ME??? I TRY TO LOVE YOU BUT YOU RUN!! I LOVE YOU!! NO, DON’T DO THIS!!”
He was painfully distressed and I was heart wrenched for the guy! It brought me back to a time past when I’d had my heart broken and all this beautiful music was born. Man, CAN LOVE HURT!!
I remembered as my heart was pounding with pain through my ex’s cold response for my loving dilemma. With this particular relationship I was tore up from the floor up! I wanted to die. I lay on the bed sobbing for what felt like days. I flashed on the times (two in hindsight) things went the other way around and I had broken my lover’s hearts. I started to see both sides of the coin. I began to really know how it felt when the dream of love died. Only then was I beginning to see what love really was.
From that point on, I made it a point to walk carefully and handle with care my choices for love. I embraced the idea of loving myself in a big way first and not falling for the easy route hooking up because I did not want to be alone or lonely. I chose to face any fears and loneliness head on and put to rest any co-dependence that comes from insecurity. I’d focus on my personal healing and education of love in order to really have a great love one day. I still believe and contently wait as I become more beautiful and whole by the day.
We are ever changing and as I grow more mature, I see how our needs change. It often takes living through some great pain to realize what it is we really have when we stand in the flame of love. Love is a powerful energy and a state of great enlightenment. It seems so simple yet complicated and illusive. Unconditional love was all I ever hoped for. And a GREAT MAN with a GREAT HEART who loved a GREAT GOD. Am I asking too much? Good things come to those who wait? I still believe.
For now,I shall let the music tell the story.
LOVE TAKES TIME
Hugs and love to you,
Miss Kristin

Will it be Indian Summer?
Expecting the Indian Summer August 2010
Summer is nearing it's end and being a warm weather girl, I'm setting my sites toward an Indian Summer. (In more ways than one)
The "Free" CD has been shipped to radio around the world and we have had quite a few positive comments from radio stations and fans who are really enjoying the music! I for one love the single "Indian Summer" and had a great time creating my own video for the music with my handy hi def camera! Please watch it and enjoy the scenery of Sedona, Arizona where much of the short movie was filmed. Watch Indian Summer Here:
I enjoy the concept of this album "Free" and in all I do attempt to incorporate the idea by enjoying creating freely without being too concerned with what people may think. My motto is "Do the best you can with what you've got!" and I live by those words and am thoroughly enjoying the journey! If you have yet to see the "Free" video you may watch it now: Watch The FREE Video Here:
My home is presently in renovation as we are building a new rehearsal space in the garage.The guys are underway with sheet rock and whatever else is needed for soundproofing and such.
I have been invited to play gigs and have more requests coming so my hope is to get the rehearsal room ready and then get underway with the next stage of Miss Kristin music. Now I have performed live for some time solo and with various groups, but the time has come for me to up my game and dial the show in! So stay tuned we will have much more coming for you in the future.
It's A Love In Baby!
The next NEW collection "Whole In My Soul" is about complete and will be released in the near future. We have a track we would like you to grab as a thank you for your continued support. The uplifting and unique "It's A Love In Baby!" is yours free for being a friend of Miss Kristin! You can grab it here: It's A Love In Baby! and Watch The New "It's A Love In Baby!" Video Here:
And if that weren't enough, we also have in production another great collection titled "Miss Kristin's Elephant Groove" featuring the awesome talented Billy Hyatt on guitars with a few more special guests for musical production assistance. "Miss Kristin's Elephant Groove" is a Funky collection with some R&B style and radio singles we know you're gonna love! I just love the freedom of creating within different genres. I find a wider audience for my independent music and more often than not I surprise myself creatively and learn so much! Stay tuned, Lord willing "Elephant Groove' will be a 2011 release!
Have a wonderful Indian Summer friends!
