Hello, NashWest Besties. I have a brand new single that will be released near Valentine's Day 2024. The song is called “Unbecoming” and it’s different from anything you’ve ever heard from me before. I’m a little nervous but I’m also incredibly excited for this song to make its journey to your life and your heart.
One of the most powerful lyrics of the song is, “Beauty lies in stripping back to who I really am.” All of the merch and artwork for this single is centered on this truth. What does it mean to strip back to who we really are? Don’t think of the word “strip” as in “strip off the band-aid.” A more accurate image of the process of stripping back to who we really are is to think of yourself at the end of an incredibly busy day. You’re tired to the bone. You’ve fulfilled your responsibilities. You’ve fought the good fight. Now imagine the feeling of stripping off your work clothes. The boots pulled off, the jeans drop, next the sweaty shirt and best of all, those damp socks get tossed. Ahhhh! The best feeling ever.
With this feeling in mind, think about the word, “unbecoming” and how refreshing and valuable it is to have moments or even seasons of our life that we can take off the labels and roles we play like clothes being set aside at the end of the day. Shoes that once fit, like jobs we once loved, can become too tight or even painful. Sometimes we sadly realize that we never liked that dress and would prefer Q-Baby Wranglers. Our closet of life experiences should be filled with what we love, not what others think we should love.
We all know that section of our closet with the cute jeans that haven’t fit in years, the purse you love but know your friend will love even more and the shoes that were only cute 20 years ago. Our lives can become just as cluttered with regrets, toxic relationships and guilt over not doing or being enough. “Stripping back to who I really am” is to compassionately curate what we allow into our lives and into our space.
“Unbecoming” is a song that I feel very proud to have recorded and to share with you on Valentine’s Day. Until that day, I look forward to sharing even more as we build up to this very special release day!
Peace, Love and Spurs..
Rock On, NashWest Guys and Girls!
Love, MK
