about

ARTISTIC SUCCESS
What is the truest measure of self-worth: Creating art? Finding commercial success? While songwriting doesn’t always translate into ‘making bread”, the two activities became inextricably linked, when Abby was granted the gift of time. Both take patience, are driven by intrinsic motivation, and require vulnerability. Mastering your craft is the most rewarding outcome of them all.

lyrics

I used to wish if I could choose
The perfect job full time
I’d spend the hours baking bread
While writing countless rhymes

But wait, it happened, so it seems
The gift of time which we all dream
Was granted unbeknownst to me
As we all faced, uncertainty

Money ain’t the only thing
That measures my success
But dough gets super sticky and
And songs don’t pay the rent

Songs are meant for me to sing
They help me when I need
But like the air which we all breathe
They ain’t made for free

The knead is real, the perfect stretch
To reach its goal, rise to success
The taste of dough, won’t fill the holes like
Patience, drive and fearlessness

Like bread that feeds, a song can touch
Your heart and all its senses
A loaf I shape, and chords I fudge
Can offer priceless views through different lenses

The knead is real, the perfect stretch
To reach its goal, rise to success
The taste of dough, won’t fill the holes like
Patience, drive and fearlessness

I used to wish if I could choose
The perfect job full time
I’d spend the hours baking bread
While writing countless rhymes
