This was my original idea for the cover to my first album. The title, "Slave to Freedom," used to be a song title - while the album title was "Freedom Broke the Exile's Heart."
Janis Joplin got it right: "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose." Take it from someone who lost everything. I have never idealized freedom - in fact, I consider it tragic.
I called my band Erosian Exile because I was exiled from my passion of singing when I contracted an illness that reduced my voice to a whisper permanently. Music was my whole life, and singing was my specialty. My voice was a vessel through which passion emerged from the aether - and it was the pipeline to Earth, because it gave me a way to convey my visions and emotions to others.
Without my voice, I was isolated, exiled, and alone. I was also lost. It was my music that helped me distinguish lust from love, fantasy from fiction. Now, everything was the same.
Prince Ruby Valentine was an iconic representation of men I fell in love with, who were slaves to the idea of freedom. Such men make great partners for me. They remind me to stop and smell the flowers, feel the sunlight, savor their touch. In turn, my obsessiveness helps them appreciate the value of commitment to their own passions.
But "Slave to Freedom" was a better title. And the album was dedicated to Prince Ruby, anyway. So in his honor, it is now called "Slave to Freedom." Those who know my backstory will understand that in my case, freedom broke the exile's heart. But Ruby was truly happier when he left Erosia, and became anonymous. In Erosia, he was burdened by royal duties, but on Earth, he is nobody... and he likes it that way.
My new track!! If you like Angel Olsen, Emma Ruth Rundle, Chelsea Wolfe or similar artists this might be up your alley. Please check it out! I wrote/recorded/produced all of it myself and worked really hard on it!

Woke up v annoyed with society today. Wondering why people aren’t happy and having fun and loving each other? Couldn’t find the sunshine so I decided to be it. Here is an acapello sampler of my new song “Glitch in the Matrix”, coming soon ❤️ I look around and all I see Are people who’ve brainwashed by society They’re Going through their lives livin in hatred Unaware their heads are stuck up the matrix. From birth to death, it all comes canned. School, work, retirement, That’s all there is, it’s all pre-planned. But I don’t think that’s what it’s all about. found a better way, I found a way out. Found a glitch in the matrix, You know that it’s true Out-witching the matrix, You’ve just gotta be you. They think that they’ve got us, But they’re made out of glass — Ain’t ever gonna find me with my Head up the matrix’s — #music #singing #singersongwriter #musician #love #writing #art #poetry #artist #musiciansontumblr #revolution #fucksociety #witchcraft #positivity #inspiration #peace #poem #lyrics #musiciansofinstagram (at Buffalo, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9CkkRsJLk5/?igshid=gl04z7jmy8f0
