about
"Fidalgo" is the first single and title-track of my forthcoming album, due out in 2023 releasing on my label, Magnolia Music, via Ingrooves/Universal on September 16th, 2022.
I wrote the song after moving to the small town of Anacortes, WA. It's a hopeful anthem about having the courage to leave your comfort zone for the road less traveled. Listening to the song now, I can hear the internal conflict within: the plea to let go, and embrace the great unknown.
I hope it resonates with you. xLW
lyrics
I’ve never been a woman of tradition, no,
I never saw myself living in the wilderness,
So let it teach me something good
Like the art of letting go.
And I’d become accustomed to my life back home
But my folks and my friends, well,
They tell me I’ve grown.
They say 'Life’s better lived
When you don’t know what’s ahead.'
I should make my own way for once,
And if I feel low,
I guess I would rather feel it here
on Fidalgo.
And I’m no good with change,
But you’ve gotta play the cards you’re given,
Nothin’ ever stays the same
And I’ve spent all my life
Pushing back on concrete walls.
And I do think it’s time I start believing
I can come out of my corner,
I’m so tired of being afraid.
And I should make my own way for once,
And if I feel low,
I guess I would rather feel it here
on Fidalgo.
