WOOOOOHOOOOOO! I DID IT!!!!!!:)

Week Mother-effin' 52!!!-"Loving You Like This" Oh my goodness!!! I have so much to say I don't even know where to begin. I started this project on August 1st 2012, never really thinking that this day would come. Never believing it would actually arrive. But I guess that's what got me through it. I didn't really look TOO far ahead- I just took each week and each song on as they came. And 52 weeks later, here we are.

There is honestly so much I'd like to share with you about the journey of this project. Why you might ask? Well because I feel like I learned so many things that might be helpful for you. Maybe not now, but maybe at some point. One of the things I learned in fact is that I'd like to help people. But that's a topic for another day:)

There's so much I learned about creativity and inspiration. About the process of writing songs, about being critical of your own work, about surrendering your work (and also just in general), about listening to your inner guide, about being honest. It's amazing that a project like that could teach all those things. But it did.

But you know what? I'm going to save those topics for blog posts to come. Today is the last day of the project, I have a huge show to celebrate and I just want to enjoy this feeling and this day:)

I'd also like to state that this by no means is the last song you'll be hearing from me. My song-writing muscle is so strong that I can't really imagine not writing. Perhaps it won't be every week but maybe it will. And maybe you'll hear some of them and maybe you won't:)

So week 52's song is called "Loving You Like This". I have to admit this last song wasn't the easiest. As my friend Maeghan said, it's the sprint before the finish line of the marathon. But boy did I want to crawl. I actually started a song with the concept of a finish line but I ended up writing this one and finishing it instead. Perhaps I'll finish the other one next.

I know we can all relate to this feeling. Of just having it up to here with feeling like you're chasing your own tail. Like you're spinning your wheels. So here is a song for us:)

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all the love and support and encouragement. I've gotten such nice emails and so much love and I really hope that you feel the love I have for you too. One of the reasons I wanted to do this was to show to myself and to you that it's possible. That you can have an idea and make it a reality. You just have to decide and then you have to show up. But more on that later.

In the mean time I am giving you all my gushy- mushy can't-thank-you-enough love,

Dana

"Loving You Like This"

I can't keep loving you like this You're gonna pull my heart strings until they rip You're gonna leave one part and take the rest I'll feel the void inside my chest So I can't keep loving you like this

I'm spinning circle to get to you But if you turned around, I'm not sure what I'd do Feels like I'm chasing my own tail And I'm sure to fail I can't keep loving you like this

I pray to God for someone else to come to me and help me forget To make me see there's not just one That I should probably have more fun that I can't keep loving you like this

I'm spinning circles to get to you But if you turned around, I'm not sure what I'd do Feels like I'm chasing my own tail And I'm sure to fail I can't keep loving you like this

I might drive myself insane If I keep on loving you this way I think I want to know the truth But never say those words to you so I can't keep loving you this way

I'm spinning circle to get to you But if you turned around, I'm not sure what I'd do Feels like I'm chasing my own tail And I'm sure to fail I can't keep loving you like this
