I’m not gonna lie. I haven’t written a single note or lyric since February (except for a co-write in May) and I’ve been a bit down since the concert back on September 10.
Then, I had a great meeting today with my friend, Elijah, and that’s all it took.
Of course, it would have been nice to have the inspiration strike me at 7 p.m. instead of 2 a.m. but I’m going to run with it.
About Marie de Haan
Marie is a gifted pianist, playing since the age of nine. As a teenager, she composed mainly instrumental piano music. She released her powerful debut single, “I Am Broken,” on October 22, 2020, a song whose creation drew heavily upon the trauma she endured as a victim of childhood sexual abuse. Marie held a benefit concert on September 10, 2021, in Skagit County. A portion of the proceeds went to CrossRoads Youth Ranch; this local organization—through equine therapy—empowers “at-risk and sexually exploited youth to heal, grow, and thrive.” She has continued to write music: Christian, folk, and country. Marie loves hiking, gardening, and photography. The Pacific Northwest—where she lives with her husband—is the backdrop for her favorite activities.
