Breaking news! 📸 okay, not really but this is a moment for me of moving forward but also letting go of some of my babies. 3 of them to be exact. I’m taking my first three albums off digital platforms in a few weeks. (Each are pictured if you swipe, paired with a reinactment by yours truly!) 💕 The reason is: I’m planning on releasing more stuff this year and looking back on these albums, my voice has changed so much over 10 years of releasing albums since I was 18, I want to be represented online as my current self. With that said, these little guys were such a big piece of my heart and I hope they spoke to you in some way. If you want to buy one in the future, they’ll still be available from my website (alexmabey.com) . “Dancin’ in Dirty Feet” was released in 2008 when I was 17. Songs about my first heartbreak (hmm, Josh), my friend Brian I lost to cancer, my missions trip to Africa, and more. . “Banks if the Sky” was released in 2010 when I was 19 and had just moved home from Nashville. Songs about my high school sweetheart, another one about Brian, my friends’ relationships, train-hopping, etc. 🚂 . . “Bring Me Back, When I’m Far” was released in 2014, right in the brink of my health issues and a very dark long season I had to walk. Songs about reaching out to God, breaking free of an unhealthy relationship, songs of finding myself, finding my now husband Chad, and processing through all of the emotions during my early twenties. . I thank the Lord for all the things. This human experience is something isn’t it? He promised me a hopeful, bright future, and I am in that now. He is so faithful. .

This song came the other day, in honor of Kathy Rees. Such an impact on everyone who knew her. @sydneyrees @johnrees1 @dreesfam I wore my converse today! #converseforkathy . . . - KATHY - Oh she was a rock embedded in a hill under a mountain pine. Oh she was was a light runnin through the trees; you know that kind of light. We all turn to dust; why does it happen sooner for some of us? And she was a mother, the best kind of mother to have in life. But it ain’t my place to sing about her days, oh ‘cause she wasn’t mine. It’s just, some people you miss more. Kathy. When I was a girl, she listened to me as I was singin’. She covered me up, covered everyone with her wide wings. And when they met you at the door, we were still cleanin’ up the floor from the impact. ‘Cause some people you miss more. Kathy. Shine on us. Breathe your angel dust. Kathy.

Some of you know that I am a teacher in Nashville. 🍎 During our training this week they asked us to each showcase something for our hopes and dreams for this coming school year. Last night I wrote a song and sang it for the staff today. It’s called “The Carriers”. 🕊 We’re all broken in some way and it can be easy to let that be what we see when we look at ourselves. The truth is that every day we’re breathing, even if we have a migraine or a back ache that makes us want to give up, LIFE has still prevailed and won. Each day we breathe, life beats death. We are living proof that God is greater than any struggles we may face. We carry so much in us.... including the Creator of the Universe. Thanks @explorecommunityschool for honoring and valuing your staff as complex, treasured humans. . . . #teacher #teachermusician #school #classroom #newschoolyear #singingclass #singingteacher #explorecommunityschool #nashville #nashvillemusician #original #newsong #indiefolk #americana
