Mindy Gledhill, “Long Distance Lullaby” single and video
Singer/songwriter Mindy Gledhill has given us another single from her upcoming album The Phone Booth Sessions Vol. 1. “Long Distance Lullaby” is Mindy singing herself to sleep, singing herself to peace, realizing at last that her inner child is hers now, nobody else’s. It’s the sound of an epiphany, the sound of self-love, the sound of moving forward. “Gillian Welch once sang, “if there’s something that you wanna hear, you can sing it yourself,” Gledhill said. “My grown-up self has the power to soothe my inner child now. I can move through any grief that shows up, but I don’t need to stay stuck in an imagined scenario that my caregiver will ever make amends and somehow suddenly be the nurturer I needed them to be.” Stream “Long Distance Lullaby” everywhere now, and catch the video on YouTube.
