Shadow Kesha

i spent most of my life being terrified

of one thing or another

i can’t tell you how to not be afraid

but i can tell you

that i’ve experienced how to not be

defined by my fears

when i was chosen to perform at the

grammys in 2018

i was so scared for two months leading

up to it that i thought

i might need to be institutionalized i’d

put so much

significance into that one performance

and

i was full of so much insecurity of my

ability to live up to the moment that i

wanted to pull out at times

but when i asked myself why i was so

scared i realized that i was so

terrified because that moment i was

preparing for

symbolized the goals i’ve been working

for my whole life to achieve

and then i knew that it was something i

needed to push myself to do

i think what makes a successful person

is not being fearless

but pushing through the things that

scare you the most

and this is a song about not being

defined by personal insecurities

or others negative views accompanying me

are mary lattimore and harp karina

depiano

on piano skyler stonestreet and kenna

ramsey

on background vocals and the song is

called shadow

in the desert with my best friend seeing

spaceships in the sky

and i love

singing bad words in my songs

as the only people who got time to get

offended are the ones i’ve probably

never gotten

off so get your

out of my sun

out of my blue skies
