THE LIFE OF A SONG

by Lizzie West

…a new, private, monthly blog - about songwriting, generational healing, and where to go from here…

Starting With -

FAMILY FOURTH OF JULY - 2019 - 2026+

I’m excited to announce this new musical blog… This one is private. A monthly deep dive into what it means to be Human in the Age of Enlightenment. It starts with a song and over the course of 12 months, it gives us all a chance to go deeper… about “The Life of a Song.”

So, let’s get started with the excavation.

Both of my songs, “Family Christmas” and “Family Fourth of July” are about the Journey of one American Family through time. The main character of the two songs, the sister, is working hard, first as a young woman, to find her way in the world, and then, as she gets older, she realizes, she’s been recovering, the whole time, from a lifetime of familial abuse - by her father, her siblings and their complicits.

These two songs were written twenty years apart, as a way to show myself and my fans that there is life after childhood abuse. That we can use our trauma to empower future generations to Fly (in my mythos of life, Crealitation, Fly-Create Your Reality) …, that we can help each other admit, face, address, recover from and transform the evils that the “Industrial Revolution” has normalized and imposed upon us. There are two more “Family Songs” being written, but they the next ones, will not take twenty years to release. Because I’ve build a family of fans who are here to help make sure I don’t keep sitting on all my vast media and music vaults.

Now is the Time to get everything out on the table. To see what’s under the rug and make sure we don’t trip on it anymore… I’ve had to help my daughter, Louise, understand, several times, throughout her coming of age process already… that… enlightenment is not the absence of suffering, but the transformation it. This song is a Gift for you, about that. About transforming familial suffering.

I’ve given a version of this song away every year, I believe, to my subscribers, since I first wrote it in 2019.

My “Family Songs” are written so we can find a way to all work together - to “help each other somehow” - as this song,“Family Fourth” promises. It’s time for global and generational healing. May all good hearted Human Beings band together to call for a movement, immediately, that addresses the evil nature of, and the post industrial normalization of, Child Predation. I step out of hiding today, between now and July 6th, 2026, to begin to share my story… I am staunchly opposed to childhood grooming and the familial abuse that normalizes - and perpetuates - it. I’ve been building a strategic, long game plan, to face it head on. Let’s work together as a united front, against something that we can all agree on, I feel, no matter what… in fact, no one in their right mind can disagree with it… can they?

A child’s right to their own Innocence.

We’re working hard at Because of You Management Group every day, creating a way for me to come back to work in commercial recording and touring, safely and effectively, to empower myself, my daughters, you, and all good people everywhere, to share a symbiotic Victory for Human over machine. With a lot of help from our friends, we all Fly, remember?

Speaking of friends, guess who I saw last night… (Read More…)
