Chapter 8: Hot Air Balloon

‘Hot Air Balloon’ was conceived from a need to escape. It is a song that came to be from a mood in a period I was living. It’s quite ironic how just the week before we wrote the song, Stephen Voyce and I had a discussion about it all.

Nothing about life is easy. Whether it is music, humanity or lack thereof , friendships, family, economy, politics; the truth is, there is always something that can pop up and disrupt your peace. As much as we try to control everything, some things are just out of our hands. This song was a response to it all.

The lyrics are pretty straight forward and simply express a wanted escape from reality. “I want to fly in a hot air balloon,” is repeated twice in each chorus. The funny part is, I am scared of heights. I remember looking at Stephen and laughing as I said, “Wow! I don’t know why I wrote that!”. Perhaps it was my fear of heights responding to my rebellious mood. Fear is funny that way. The thing you fear most might end up being the very thing that liberates you; but I can’t be sure as I still have not been in a hot air balloon

The cool thing is that it is an 80’s inspired Pop song. The music video takes you back to that era, from expression, to video editing and quality. It is a journey which leads you wherever you want it to

Stay tuned for ‘Hot Air Balloon’ on July 29th!

Chapter 5: Fight to Survive

Life throws us challenges and sometimes they leave you feeling hopeless and in despair. ‘Fight to Survive’ is about pushing through those difficulties. This song will take you through the journey of lessons, disappointment, renewed hope and the will to want to live and not just survive.

Recently, I battled a struggle of my own, one that perhaps I am still battling today. This song came from a very real place – my heart. Albeit that all my songs come from within, this one here was a direct message from my soul.

After it was completed and I listened back to it, I realized how I could relate in any difficulty that I have lived.

Life can be a struggle. We are constantly dancing between good and evil, highs and lows, success and failure. It is so easy to get caught up in the heat of it all, forgetting the fundamentals. There is however one element that will ground you whether you like it or not – your health.

As long as we have our health, we seem to forget that we are NOT invincible. Yet, the day your health is stripped from you, you lose your right and privilege to care uselessly for things that should have never mattered in the first place. Somehow, everything falls into perspective. Let’s face it, without life, you cannot live.

‘Fight to Survive’ is the story of a struggle – any struggle. It is about making it through, wanting to live and doing whatever it takes to get there. It shares a motivational and relatable message about struggle and triumph. It is about not giving up.

Many of you have been with me since the beginning of my journey, some 20 years ago, and others recently. Many things occurred in between the different stages of my life and although there were days that I wanted to quit everything, something kept me going – my dream.

I hope this song moves you, inspires you, and encourages you to go conquer whatever it is that you’ve been dreaming about.

The song is available on all platforms as of midnight March 21, 2022.

Love Always,

Claudia – xoxo
