So grateful for the crazy fun adrenaline pumping experience of Top Tune - The Songwriters Game! <br><br>What a night! Marky Lennon and I were given the title “Running The Red Lights” and 17 minutes to go off stage to write a song, and come back and perform it for the sold-out audience at the Fanatic Salon Theater (It helps that Marky could sing the phone book and still have the audience swooning.) </p>
<p>Thank you to the show creators Jonathan Menchin and Tom Tully; the celebrity judges - Henry Phillips, Carla Collins, and Jann Karam; MC Lydia Robinson, “The Arrangers” band - Eric Liljestrand, Taras Prodaniuk, Todd Wolf, and Paulie Cerra, backup singers Ginger Smith, Karman Jeanne, and the awesome audience! </p>
<p>Check out the performance video - the band is hearing the song for the first time as they are playing it!! Amazing</p>

<p>“‘It’s All Good’ embodies the grounded, self-assured nature of so many iconic women throughout history. Bahia was initially inspired by a Caroline Caldwell quote — ‘In a society that profits from your self-doubt, liking yourself is a rebellious act.’ From there, Albers, Bahia, and Clearwater took the idea of self-confidence as a radical act and ran with it. The character created between all three writers is summed up perfectly by the title, ‘It’s All Good’ — nonchalant, optimistic, and fully present in the moment.” </p>
<p>“Musically, ‘It’s All Good’ combines Americana and pop styles, featuring piano, electric guitar, synth, and percussion. . . [T]he instrumentation reflects the intention perfectly, supporting the lighthearted arc with ease. Upbeat as well as uplifting, it’s hard not to smile at first listen. If you’re looking for a feel-good song to boost your mood, Patricia Bahia’s ‘It’s All Good’ has you covered.” - Natalie Powers, NEW FIRE MUSIC </p>
<p>Shoutout to my awesome co-writers Alison Albers and Lucy Clearwater, and to producer extraordinaire, Bobby Holland. </p>
<p>Thank you Natalie Powers of NEW FIRE MUSIC for the awesome review! </p>

<p>I can LOVE. </p>

<p>A: I think we’re all influenced by everything we ever hear, see or do in our lives. Every song we hear, every book we read, every movie we see, every place we visit, every person we meet, every conversation. All of it comes in and swirls around in our hearts and minds and then comes out as a one-of-a-kind expression through the unique filter created by our life experiences. </p>
<p>All that to say, my influences are eclectic and broad and include everything from the classical music my parents played in the house, to top forty radio, to the singer songwriters of the 60s and 70s, to the soul and R&B music that came through the radio late at night, to the jazz, blues and gospel music I was immersed in when I lived in the San Francisco bay area, and probably many more influences that I’m not even consciously aware of. All this combined and being put through my life experience comes out as my unique sound.</p>

Sometimes I think the song chooses who it wants to bring to life, rather than the songwriter making the choices. Hold On was a little like that. At first it was just a collection of feelings. A little bit of hope, a little wistful, a strong feeling of empathy. And as we started to play, the song connected with Mike’s chord progression and picking pattern and my keyboard pads, humming and singing, and simultaneously with the idea of writing a song to help lift up my friend who was struggling." </p>
<p>"The most gratifying thing for me as a songwriter is when someone tells me my song resonates with them, that it helps them feel something. That has been happening a lot with this song [Hold On]. I’ve been getting private messages from people that the song touches them deeply, which means the world to me. Some have told me that they’re listening to it on repeat and letting the tears flow. People who have lost family members or friends to suicide, or mental illness have thanked me for the song. And others just love the song without even knowing the original intention behind writing it."</p>

<p>A: I have always loved music and I did a lot of it growing up (piano lessons, choirs, voice lessons, marching band, musicals, youth orchestra, you name it), but in my family, music was not an “approved career.” I was strongly encouraged to do something “realistic” and “practical” to support myself. “Approved” choices included things like doctor, lawyer, or teacher. I chose lawyer. </p>
<p>But even as I worked soul-crushing hours as an attorney, the pull of music was strong. So alongside my law practice I began moonlighting as a singer – making court appearances and meeting with clients by day, and singing in clubs and restaurants, and also as a soloist with the Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir, during evenings and weekends. </p>
<p>Hidden under all of that was another deeply held and deeply buried desire I had harboured for many years: a calling to write songs. It took an ovarian cancer diagnosis to finally acknowledge my secret “bucket list” desire to be a songwriter, and to trade my briefcases in for guitar cases. If I hadn’t followed that bucket list desire, I would probably still be working as an attorney today.</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/164709/07420234cc933cc6fe8898b538bd0949108213f4/original/volatile-weekly-screen-shot-logo.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>Q: What is the creative process for you, and what inspires you to write your music? </p>
<p>A: My creative process is very collaborative. One of my favorite hashtags is #teamworkmakesthedreamwork because I love working in partnership with other artists, songwriters and producers and combining strengths to make something much greater than any of us could make alone. </p>
<p>The creative process is different for every song. Sometimes it starts with a melody and words come later. Sometimes it’s a title, topic or even a full lyric first, and then melody. Sometimes it’s a feeling I’m trying to capture and convey. And my role can change from session to session, depending on who I’m writing with and what our relative strengths are. For example, if my co-writer is a stronger instrumentalist than I am, I’ll concentrate more heavily on melody and lyrics. Other times, I’m the one holding down the groove and the chord progression. It all depends on what’s needed in the room at the moment. </p>
<p>As for inspiration, I find inspiration anywhere and everywhere. Out on walks, watching TV, reading, eavesdropping on conversations, in fortune cookies, horoscopes, ads, billboards, movie trailers, when I’m falling asleep, when I’m just waking up…The key is to capture the idea as fully as I can before it slips away. I find song ideas can be like small timid animals – if I come charging directly at them, I scare them off. I have to sort of casually and quietly turn on my voice memo app, or jot down the idea, before I scare it away and it’s lost.</p>

We talked about music and life, including my upcoming single Hold On, and my advice to upcoming artists about losses.</p>

<p>MMM: What advice can you give an upcoming artist about not focusing on their losses too much? </p>
<p>PB: "We’ve all heard the saying, 'Energy flows where attention goes,' meaning that what you focus on grows. So rather than focusing on what went wrong, I try to focus my attention on what went right and amplify that. And for the things that didn’t go as I would have liked, I try to look at what I can learn from the experience for next time. My advice is to try to change your outlook from 'win or lose,' to 'win or learn.' Nothing is a complete loss if you learn something from it." </p>

<p>Thank you Cristina and crew at @bsquaredmgmt for the introduction. Thanks Chadwick Easton for the chat! </p>

<p>I was looking up artists on AllMusic.com today, and decided to search for myself, assuming there would be nothing there, and to my surprise, found this comprehensive bio, written by someone I have never met and don't know at all!!! </p>
<p>Crazy thing is it is quite comprehensive and mostly accurate, with the exception of some of the timeframes. </p>

<p>When we were in George Lucas' Marin studio recording, Linda said she loved my hair (!!) and asked me where I got it cut. I told her about the cash-only little salon with bars on the windows on the sketchy edge of the Haight Ashbury where I got it cut. I also told her about Vidal Sassoon (where I had been going as a student because they gave free cuts to students who were willing to have salon trainees practice on them). I'm not sure where Linda ended up going, but when the album came out she had my same haircut for the album cover!!!</p>

After the year and a half we have all had, this song is a great anthem to look towards the future to a new day.

<p>"LA is home to some very prolific songwriters, and one of our favorites has always been Patricia Bahia. She is an award-winning songwriter who has had multiple placements in television and movies. She is also a collaborator. Her latest collaboration with Betty Lawrence has become the band 7th & Hope, and the product of that union is called “Brand New Day.” Let it inspire you as the new week begins." - The Indie Voice Blog - Monday Mashup 7-26-2021</p>Patricia Bahiatag:dreamsongsrecords.com,2005:Post/67028592021-07-23T14:00:00-07:002021-07-30T19:50:25-07:00Awesome Review for BRAND NEW DAY, by 7th & Hope<p><a contents="" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://mobangeles.com/7th-hope-patricia-bahia-and-betty-lawrence-brand-new-day-single/?fbclid=IwAR19GAK0hBTfzkTONGTIuawPQNt9Oh1RJ6WUgS88K7ZAcrG337QtUCGofkA" target="_blank"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/164709/2a675a71faa60b6a67860e633a387529b91715ae/original/mobangeles-review-of-brand-new-day-front-page-1.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></a></p>
<p>Fantastic review for Brand New Day!</p>
<p>"The new song 'Brand New Day' from 7th & Hope is the euphoric tune that pours a ray of sunshine in each measure. Featuring a contagious chorus, I wouldn’t be surprised at all to hear if “Brand New Day” became the theme song for the national morning program, Good Morning America. Give it your best – face the day with the exuberant pop singalong 'Brand New Day'."</p>

Knowing each other for so long, we were friends for years before we saw each other romantically. And when we decided to get married, we wanted to grow together and lean on each other without losing our independence and our individual dreams. </p>
<p>So for our wedding ceremony, we wrote our own vows, and shared poems and songs, including Bill Withers’ “Lean On Me,” and Stevie Wonder’s “You and I.” We promised to be there for each other, to lift each other up in dark times, and to help each other remember who we really are when we lose sight of it. </p>
<p>Years later when my niece Gabrielle asked me to sing at her wedding, I decided to write a new song for the occasion. I was inspired by the promises my husband Gregg and I made to each other at our own wedding, classic songs by Bill Withers and Stevie Wonder, as well as the joys and challenges of our life together. My co-writer Diana Rose Dawson, who also married her best friend, brought perspectives from her marriage to her husband Joe. </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/164709/f063b9eeac18a515a8dbc44371b85d9f4d07d3d6/original/patricia-at-gabrielle-and-maxims-wedding-square.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>(The picture is me playing the song at the ceremony, at a beautiful farm/garden just outside Versailles, France) </p>
<p>Although it was originally written for the occasion of a wedding, Count On Me is a message of universal unconditional love. The lyrics apply equally to non-romantic love, like the love of a parent for a child, the love of sisters, brothers, friends and family, including fur babies. </p>

<p>“(Say Yes) World With A Little More Love” is. . .the song that we need when we feel at our lowest. The lyrics are incredibly inspiring." </p>
<p>“Bahia’s voice is full of textures and personality. She’s warm and light, but she also has this building drama just bubbling under the surface.” </p>
<p>Thank you Garth Thomas and The Hollywood Digest for the sweet review!</p>

<p>This weekend I got the best response I've ever gotten at a Durango Songwriters Expo. I usually present music I make with other artists, or side projects. This time I played my the songs I've been releasing under my own artist name, and they were universally positively received. Feels soooo good to be recognized and appreciated for being myself.</p>

It immediately puts you in a good mood and your worries are pushed to the back of your mind. Bahia’s voice is fantastic, she has such a good flow to her vocals in this track that it makes you want to sing along with the chorus. I especially love the harmonies and background vocals during the chorus.<br><br>The lyrics are catchy and inspiring. The lyrics can be taken to heart and are relatable. As you listen to the song it makes you want to go out into the world and be a better person. I really love the line, “Never feel you’re insignificant, Like a tiny little grain of sand, What you do what you say makes a difference,” it gives such a great message to the listener. No matter what you are going through or experiencing, it is so important to remember that you matter, you too are important and you should never feel otherwise.

If you Say Yes...<p>I think we can all agree that the world could use a little more love right now. Especially right now. My new song, (Say Yes) World With a Little More Love [feat. Ryan Hiraoka] is my love offering, and just what the Doctor ordered. </p>
<p>If you need a little feel-good right about now, this is the song for you. It puts a smile on my face when I hear it and I’m pretty sure it will do the same for you. Take a listen and let me know!! </p>
<p>I wrote this song with Ryan Hiraoka and Kristin Lagasse at the Hawaii Songwriting Festival. We set up in a hotel meeting room one afternoon, and set out to write an upbeat song of unity, togetherness and inclusion. </p>
<p>Produced by fabulous Duddy Brown and featuring Ryan Hiraoka on the rap-sing bridge, Say Yes won the 2020 Peace Song Award for Best World Music song and the 2020 Positive Music Award for Best Uniting Song.</p>

<p><strong>P-C: Who or what has had the biggest influence on your career? </strong><br><br><strong>Patricia: </strong>This may sound strange, but I feel like the biggest thing was getting a cancer diagnosis. I was always a singer. I did a lot of singing, choir, and a lot of different things. But I didn’t write my first song until I received an ovarian cancer diagnosis. That was sixteen years ago. That was the wake-up call that propelled me to start writing songs. It was something I’d always wanted to do, but I just didn’t do it. I was scared. I didn’t think I could. I had all these reasons, but it was finally what got me to do something that I always wanted to do. That’s why I have a career as a songwriter now.</p>

<p>If you value local, sustainable, organic agriculture and your health, I highly recommend you check out https://farmfreshtoyou.com </p>
<p>(And if you want $15off use discount code GREG2239) </p>
<p>During the beginning of the shutdown, when we couldn't get deliveries from anywhere else, Farm Fresh was there for us. We upped the frequency of our vegetable box delivery to once a week, and also started getting our other staples (eggs, bread, rice, tofu, cereal, nut butters, jams, fresh salsa etc.) through their grocery add-on service. Since March, we've been getting a weekly box from them with all the food we need. </p>
<p>Farm Fresh provides a direct connection with sustainable farmers. When we get produce from our box we know it was in the ground a few days ago. It doesn't come from Austria or Chile or New Zealand. It's grown by family farmers here in California. </p>
<p>I love that we are supporting farmers and their families directly, rather than spending money at Whole Foods or Amazon. Trillionaire Jeff Bezos does not need any more of our money. </p>
<p>And, Farm Fresh and its members give back. I just got the Farm Fresh year-end newsletter--40,000 boxes were donated to food banks and food pantries this year. I feel good that the donations I made are helping provide high-quality nutritious meals to the hungry. </p>

<p>At the close of this very challenging year of change and loss, there is light coming through, even in the darkest nights. I take comfort in knowing that Winter Solstice is the longest night of 2020, and that every night after this will give way to light sooner, and every day will gain more light. </p>

<p>I found this Holiday To BE List a few years ago and I love the reminder that we’re here to be Human BEings, not Human DOings. </p>
<p>In the last days of December, as I’m looking over the past year and thinking about everything that I had hoped to accomplish this year, there is a strong temptation to focus on what didn’t get done and try to cram as much of it in before the end of the year. </p>
<p>I’m grateful for this reminder to think about how I want to Be this holiday season--to be present, wrap someone in a hug, send peace, donate food, make love, and be the light. </p>

<p>I’M COMING UP - Co-written and performed by Emi Hart, Patricia Bahia, Katy Davidson, and producer Jeffrey Brodsky </p>
<p>Written and recorded under florescent lights in a hotel meeting room turned music studio at the Hawaii Songwriting Festival 2019. We had a lot of fun recording this! We made a "vocal booth" by turning long folding tables up on one end and draping them with table cloths. It kind of felt like kids building a fort out of sheets and blankets!</p>
<p>Thank you to the Hawaii Songwriting Festival, Creative Lab - Hawaii, Marmoset and Charles Michael Brotman for the opportunity and the love! </p>

It's been ten years since I decided to declare myself a performing songwriter--one who writes, produces and performs her own songs. </p>
<p>It was a huge step for me to publicly declare my own artistry, to own my unique voice, to say "I am an artist." Terrifying and yet somehow a feeling of arriving home. </p>
<p>I found that my voice as a songwriter, my point of view, crystalized once I accepted that I was an artist. And the fact of declaring it, envisioning it, made it come true. </p>
<p>I'm so glad I did. I've learned and experienced so much over the last 10 years, yet I’m still excited every time I’m part of that magical alchemy of songwriting. And I'm excited to be learning and growing, trying new things all the time. I still feel like I'm just beginning. </p>
<p>Is there something in your life you want to publicly declare and bring into reality? There is power in simply sharing it--saying it "out loud" or writing it down and sharing it. If you are so moved, put your declaration in the comments so we can support your vision! </p>

<p>Our minds are so powerful. Have you ever really wanted to do something, but believed it wasn't possible? Have you ever changed your thinking, and found that you could do it?" </p>
<p>For me it was songwriting. For many years, I thought songwriting was something other people could do (But Not Me). I thought you had to be an amazing musician (I wasn't), know all about music theory (I knew nothing--didn't know what I IV V was), and that you had to be able to write music like Mozart (Nope.) Or that you had to be born knowing how. Or that it was magic. (well... it kind of is magic) </p>
<p>I told myself I was "just a singer" who interpreted other people's songs. It took a cancer diagnosis and the encouragement of a friend to finally allow myself to even try to write a song. </p>
<p>What have you believed you couldn't do, and found that when you changed your thinking, you could do it?" </p>

We talked about creative process and Every Heart One Love</p>
<p>On creative process:</p>
<p>"The process in a session is always different. Sometimes my co-writers and I will spend some time at the beginning of the session just talking about what’s going on in our lives and write a song based on that. Other times, I’ll bring in an idea–a title, a theme, or a melody, or my co-writer will bring in an idea they really want to write that day. Sometimes we’re writing for a specific pitch or brief for a TV show or ad campaign. Sometimes we’ll start writing an idea and end up veering off on a second idea we discover in the process of trying to write the first idea. There are so many ways a song can reveal itself and come into being. That’s one of the things I love about songwriting. There’s a big element of magic, mystery and chance involved."</p>
<p>On the inspiration behind the songs:</p>
<p>"One of the things I try to do as a songwriter and artist is to create songs that help lift people up; to combat negativity with hope and optimism. And help us remember that we’re all one family living on one planet. The lyrics often start as encouragement or reminders I need to hear myself. I write the words I want and need to hear to help me deal with my own anxieties, doubts, fear and negativity. Or, I picture a friend or family member going through a hard time, and write them words of encouragement. My hope is that my songs can provide some type of comfort in these strange times–some peace or freedom or joy or catharsis–to help get us through."</p>

<p>Because change doesn’t just happen. It’s the result of like-minded people coming together--lifting each other up, rising up, standing up together and working toward a vision of “a more perfect union.” One that is more just, more inclusive, more equitable, and more compassionate. For ALL of us. </p>
<p>I, along with my co-writer Tom Bishel, am proud to stand in solidarity with and be of service to organizations working toward equality and justice, by donating our earnings and donations for Together We Rise. </p>
<p>From now through election day all song purchases and donations for Together We Rise will go toward the Biden/Harris campaign.</p>

<p><br> </p>Patricia Bahiatag:dreamsongsrecords.com,2005:Post/64597822020-10-20T12:09:38-07:002020-10-20T12:48:48-07:00Be Here Now--Behind the Song <p>Happy Tuesday! </p>
<p>As a songwriter, the most common question I get is, “what’s the story behind the song?” So, I made this BEHIND THE SONG video<br><iframe class="justify_inline" data-video-type="youtube" data-video-id="uWq1911BEzg" data-video-thumb-url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/uWq1911BEzg/mqdefault.jpg" type="text/html" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uWq1911BEzg?rel=0&wmode=transparent&enablejsapi=1" frameborder="0" height="180" width="320" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe></p>
<p>“Be Here Now“ was written by me and my co-writer Diana Rose Dawson as a reminder to ourselves to be present for and in our own lives. And to remember to remember what’s important. </p>
<p>I find it easy to get distracted and forget what really matters. Some days I think I’m just going to check email or social media “real quick” and hours later, I find myself scrolling, comparing, “should-ing” all over myself, and feeling worse the more time I spend. </p>
<p>This song reminds me that I’ve only got this one life, this one time, and to be present for it: “this moment in time, is one of a kind, and it’s never coming back around.” </p>
<p>If you ever feel overwhelmed, not-enough, too much, pulled in so many directions you don’t know if you’re coming or going, distracted, uncentered. . . this song is for you. </p>
<p>Thank you for taking the time to listen. Be Here Now helps me feel more grounded and calm—I hope it helps you too. </p>

The first black anything feels overdue. But our time has come. To all my black girls, if someone like you hasn’t done it yet— BE THE FIRST." </p>
<p>I love Lizzo--her music, her message, and who she is in the world. She is unapologetically herself. Big, bold, and not afraid to live out loud. She inspires me and countless others who feel we don’t fit inside the boxes society has designated for us, who don’t fit the mold, can’t or won’t “stay in our lane” or our “place.” </p>
<p>If I may, I would like to extend this encouragement to underrepresented folks of all ages, races, shapes and sizes, especially women and girls. There are so many places where women and girls are Still underrepresented or not represented at all. YOU can be the first. Lizzo has shown us that. As have many who have blazed trails before her, leading us to where we are now. Thank you Lizzo for reminding us, “If someone like you hasn’t done it yet-- BE THE FIRST. </p>

<p>As an ovarian cancer survivor, it is important to me to raise awareness of the illness and its signs and symptoms. The 5th leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women, ovarian cancer is sometimes called a “silent killer,” because it is often mistaken for benign conditions like indigestion, and over 70% of women are not diagnosed until the later stages, when survival rates are low. </p>
<p>I am one of the lucky ones. Diagnosed in the early stages, I just celebrated the 17th anniversary of my last chemo treatment on October 4th. </p>
<p>I invite you “break the silence” and share the list of symptoms with the women in your life. Early detection saves lives. </p>
<p>* Bloating </p>
<p>* Pelvic or abdominal pain </p>
<p>* Trouble eating or feeling full quickly </p>
<p>* Feeling the need to urinate urgently or often </p>
<p>Other symptoms of ovarian cancer can include: </p>
<p>* Fatigue </p>
<p>* Upset stomach or heartburn </p>
<p>* Back plain </p>
<p>* Pain during sex </p>
<p>* Constipation or menstrual changes </p>
<p>If symptoms are new and persist for more than two weeks, it is recommended that a woman see her doctor. <br> </p>

<p>This is the iconic venue that was featured in the hit TV show Nashville. It was a dream come true to have a song I co-wrote make it on the show in Season 6 </p>
<p>Here’s a little something I wrote about it back in 2015:</p>
<p>“I recently got back from my first music trip to Nashville. It truly lives up to the name Music City. Lots of types of music is being made in Nashville now, in addition to the country music it first became famous for. My week there included three days of songwriting and community with Americana artist Mary Gauthier; a performance on the iconic Bluebird Café stage; and experiencing great live music from some of the best songwriters in the U.S. And, I got to visit with music friends who have left Los Angeles and moved to Nashville, take a yoga class in a beautiful old house on Music Row that was once owned by Roy Orbison, and sit at the piano in RCA studio B, where most of Elvis’ many hit songs were recorded. </p>

Through it all though, I still believe music has the power to break down boundaries, overcome distances between people, and lead us to peace. <br><br>And as hard as it is now, I know nothing good comes from acting (or reacting) from a place of fear, resentment, or division. So, today I pray to find the strength to come back to love and unity and I’m starting now by taking a step on the path of peace with myself. </p>

<p>Every Heart One Love--co-written with Diana Rose Dawson and produced by Duddy Brown is First Finalist in the Gospel/Inspirational Category (only one song away from winning the Grand Prize!!--soooo close!) </p>
<p>It's All Good--co-written with Lucy Clearwater and Alison Albers and produced by Bobby Holland placed as 3rd finalist in the Country category. </p>
<p>Judges include Natasha Bedingfield (I love her song Unwritten), Switchfoot (Switchfoot lead singer and songwriter Jon Foreman is one of my all time favorite songwriters--check out his duet with Lauren Daigle on "I Won't Let You Go," American Authors, Jimmy Cliff, George Clinton of Parliament Funkadelic, Lita Ford of The Runaways, Bob Weir of the Grateful Dead, Flea, and The Veronicas, to name a few. </p>
<p>This win means a lot to me because it's the first time a song where I am the artist has placed in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest. Songs I co-wrote have been named finalists before, but I wasn't the lead singer. I am the artist and lead singer on both of these, so I feel even more grateful for the kudos and recognition! </p>
<p>Both songs are as-yet unreleased but you can check them out on the John Lennon website: </p>

It is premiering on BuzzMusic and being played on Pop Garden Radio in Florida, as well as being released today on all digital platforms! </p>
<p>I had a super fun time writing and recording this one with Katie Ferrara and Ted Wulfers at 663 Sound. It's a serious message wrapped up in a fun light song. Sometimes life gets so crazy and messy and dark, and I find myself in glass-half-empty mode, laying down on the cold floor feeling sorry for myself. This song is to remind me of this truth: As long as I'm breathing and I'm on this side of the ground, there really are no bad days. No Bad Days. </p>

I co-wrote it with my 7th & Hope duo partner Betty Lawrence, along with Nitanee Paris and Jean-Pierre Williams. And on Sunday night I represented the four of us and performed it live at the Positive Music Awards in Tampa Florida with. Keep the Light On was one of three finalists--and we won! The other two songs in the category were absolutely gorgeous songs, and beautifully performed by fellow nominees Ariel Thierman, Chris Chickering and Greg Barnhill, so I was doubly honored to accept the award. It was a beautiful weekend. I shared my music, heard some fantastic artists share their songs, taught a workshop, connected with old friends, met new ones, and stayed up waaaay late.<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/164709/30d5f9bbb09f53bcd9a4880627498e4098145ce0/original/56242623-10155955018717021-6090672502319611904-n.jpg/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.jpg" class="size_m justify_center border_" /></p>

Super excited to find out this week that two songs I co-wrote and recorded with 7th & Hope (my duo project with Betty Lawrence) have been nominated for Positive Music Awards this year: KEEP THE LIGHT ON and EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT. The Posi-Awards are like the GRAMMYs for the positive music world, and I am honored to be in the company of the other nominees, which include hit songwriters and veteran artists and performers.<br><br>Both of these songs were written on a magical songwriting retreat held at a castle near Macon, France (I know, I am one lucky woman) with my duo partner Betty Lawrence and our friend Nitanee Paris. And on Keep the Light On we were also joined in the writing process by Nitanee's husband Jean-Pierre Williams. Both songs were produced by the amazing Duddy Brown who made tracks of pure electro-pop perfection.<br><br>These songs are messages of hope, healing, and optimism in the midst of darkness. I don't know about you, but things have been feeling pretty dark to me--just a few things I could mention... walls, family separations, children in cages, mass shootings, destructive fires, government workers working without pay...and though they pale in comparison, a few personal challenges thrown in: I suffered a broken foot this fall and the loss of our beloved dog, April, who crossed over the rainbow bridge at the age of 15.<br><br>So singing these songs has helped me a great deal, and my hope is they will do the same for you. Neither song has been released yet, but will be part of 7th & Hope's next release in 2019, so stay tuned! </p>

Six singer-songwriters are invited. Our names are drawn out of a hat and we are put in pairs (Teams A B and C). Then titles are pulled out of a hat and we are given 17 minutes to take that title and write a brand new song and come back to perform it for a panel of celebrity judges in front of a live audience.<br><br>Nerve wracking? Yes. Exhilarating? Yes. Fun? Yessss! Especially when your team wins! Here's some photos of the night--me performing a song from my catalog with the house band, backstage with my co-writer Georges Krikes, and on-stage with the whole crew after being crowned the winners that night. </p>

<p>Last night the RAKEFIRE song Unstoppable was on the MTV show Teen Mom. It’s my theme song right now. I Co-wrote it with Robert LaSalle, lead singer of RAKEFIRE. </p>
<p>It’s my theme song that keeps me going no matter the obstacles. </p>
<p>I had some doubts about going on The Equality Tour in Arizona with a broken foot, but I went, wearing a boot (and hard soled dansko clogs for stage) because I wanted to contribute my music to this moment in history. And it was amazing great shows with great people for a worthy and important cause. So glad to have been a part of it. And hoping to see the impact of it today at the polls and for years to come </p>
<p>From Arizona I came directly to Nashville and yesterday started recording with Bobby Holland at his Pentavarit studio. Rain, tornado warnings and sirens going off, none of that will stop me. These songs need to be heard. </p>
<p>What keeps you going? Do you have a theme song? <img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/164709/a7c70fdd5339c8bb202b814c671c4d5a277ab6ee/original/eb5d1d8d-c7d2-4249-be7d-adf8dd54464d.png/!!/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsIm1lZGl1bSJdXQ==.png" class="size_m justify_center border_" /></p>Patricia Bahiatag:dreamsongsrecords.com,2005:Post/54970372018-11-02T09:50:12-07:002018-11-02T09:59:46-07:00They knew all the words to our song!!<p>One of the best feelings in the world for me as a songwriter, as an artist, is to hear people singing the lyrics to a song I wrote. Last night, for the finale of the Equality Tour event in Tucson, my cowriter @alihandalmusic and I invited the organizers and volunteers of the event to come on stage with us and sing We Can Do It with us. They knew every word and sang it at the top of their lungs.

Eddie's is a music venue/bar/restaurant, with great sound. And it's a Listening Room, which means people are there to hear the music. It's so awesome to have an audience of real listeners and lovers of music. Very cool.</p>
<p>Turns out the Monday night songwriter night is a contest. And I was a finalist! The recognition/validation is nice, but more so, it meant that I got invited back to the stage to share another song at the end of the night. Even cooler.</p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/164709/8d42d57a6a829a30efbd51ee65f5d59a963f817f/original/img-9503.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/164709/d30ec0f5a798da1d6c9bb98b483679ab2763f377/original/img-9480.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" />"Eddie's Attic is a music venue concentrating in the performing and touring singer/songwriting and acoustic musician. We encourage a listening atmosphere in the music room but have set up our patio for partying and being roudy. We hope you find the very best in service and entertainment value here at Eddie's Attic. It is our goal to make sure you leave with a smile, saying that you had the time of your life. Thank You. --Eddie's Attic"</p>

I'm honored and grateful to my co-writers and the producers on these songs. DUDDY did an awesome job producing Keep the Light On to pop perfection; and Robert LaSalle, lead singer of RAKEFIRE, not only produced the track, he sang and played all the instruments on Heroes to make it an epic song with swagger attitude.</p>
<p>Can't wait for you to hear these songs! Both songs will be released soon! Here's a sneak peek of the artwork for Keep the Light On designed for us by Ian Branch.</p>

We've been writing (mostly over FaceTime between Los Angeles and London) and recording together in Los Angeles for about two years, but our first live performance together was Saturday at the West Coast Songwriters Conference in San Francisco on Saturday September 8, and our second show together was two days later at the Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles!</p>
<p>For those who don't know, performing live is different from the studio. For live, you need different musical arrangements that work with the instruments you have on stage, as opposed to in the studio where you can layer and multi-track many instruments. Also, there are no do-overs. </p>
<p>Here we are performing our award winning song Great Day to be Alive on stage at The Hotel Cafe. Betty is playing the Ed Sheeran signature Martin guitar we won for the Grand Prize in the WCS International Songwriting Contest. Photo credit: Gregg Rugolo</p>

Ali Handal and I sang our anthem WE CAN DO IT at a November 12thrally on the National Mall in Washington DC to help kick off a renewed effort to get Equal Rights for American women under the US Constitution. </p>
<p>The event was part of a remembrance of the women suffragists who fought to get U.S. women the right to vote 100 years ago, and honored the 32 'silent sentinel' women suffragists who, 100 years ago on November 14, 1917 were imprisoned and tortured for holding a 2 1/2 year silent vigil to gain the right to vote. </p>

<p>May 31, 2017: Great Day To Be Alive </p>
<p>How does a cancer diagnosis change a life? When Patricia Bahia was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, it resulted in a commitment to "live her bucket list." For her, this meant committing her life to two things; well-being and music. For her, that was really one thing. Her music was a place to express her new relationship to her life and to engage more fully with every aspect of that life. Her songs inspire, sooth and express the wonder of living with an awareness that we all, someday, die. </p>

<p>7th & Hope is Pop. Retro. Swagger. Breezy. London. Los Angeles. <br>The songs are upbeat, positive, fun, with just the right amount of sass. Betty sings lead on four of the five songs, and I sing lead on one. We're both singing harmonies and gang vocals, and brought in a few friends to join us. (Thank you Lindsay Paige Garfield, Ali Handal, John Clinebell and Evan Blum.) The EP is The Brighter Side.<br><br> </p>Patricia Bahiatag:dreamsongsrecords.com,2005:Post/46117012017-03-01T20:55:00-08:002017-03-01T21:00:48-08:00#PosiFest2017<p>I just got back from #PosiFest2017 (The Positive Music Festival) in Florida where I was nominated for two Posi-Awards (The GRAMMY's of the positive music world). I I feel very honored to have my name appear on the same roster as my fellow nominees. A community of world-class talented people who are as gracious and generous as they are inspiring. And, I got to perform my original songs Why We Walk and Good Day with a fantastic band to a packed ballroom singing along. Pure joy.

In January, my co-writer Betty Lawrence (also known as Brunetti) came to Los Angeles from London and we recorded a five song EP with Billy Lefler at Death Star Studios. We had a blast. We sang, played percussion, sang more, clapped, stomped, laughed at Billy's jokes. He gave us studio names--I'm P-Trish and Betty is B-Dog. He managed to keep us laughing while working us really hard. Since then we have been working with Bill and his mixing engineer on getting the mixes of the recordings just right. I've already started presenting some of the recordings to music supervisors and other industry folks and have been getting a great response.<br><br>The songs are upbeat, positive, fun, with just the right amount of sass.

And, of course, I’m grateful for you and your support. </p>

Hate. Be the Change. <p>While much of America seems to be getting more and more divisive, I'm going to be holding doors for strangers, letting people cut in front of me in traffic, greeting all I meet, exercising patience with others, and smiling at strangers. I'll do this as often as I have the opportunity. I will not stand idly by and let children live in a world where unconditional love is invisible and being rude is acceptable. <br>Join me in showing love and respect to others. Find your way to swing the pendulum in the direction of love. ❤️ Because today, sadly, hate is gaining ground. Love must begin somewhere and love will overcome hate. Imagine the difference if we each purposefully love a little more. <br><br>[The text above is copied and pasted from a friend who got it from another friend.

Thirteen years ago on October 4, 2003, I had my final round of chemo for ovarian cancer. Thirteen years later I'm grateful to be alive, to be living my second-chance "bucket list" life as a singer, songwriter, recording artist and music educator.

No talking, no phones, no writing, no touching, and no exercise except walking, for 10 full days. I'm nervous about being unplugged for so long. It will be a challenge. So on the trip my husband I just took to Canada for his birthday, we experimented with "unplugging lite:" Vancouver Island for 11 days with no guitar, no keyboard, and no laptop (I did have my iphone though, that's why I say "lite" because there's a lot you can do with phone, and a lot of ways to get distracted.) One of the things you can do with a phone is take photos. Here are a few choice pics from Canada, just because.<br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/164709/c080b72ac2748c4def83dfd1d929454c11bfc2d8/original/img-4036.jpg?1474587634" class="size_l justify_center border_" />This panorama of trees is from the hiking trail we took to get to a remote beach at Cape Scott, (below). We drove almost 2 hours on a back-country gravel/mud logging road to the trail head, and then hiked to the beach for about 40 minutes. Well worth the journey to get to this remote and beautiful beach at Cape Scott.<br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/164709/8bdf80f59c239816144aa8a481763fcae31c4e2a/original/img-4037.jpg?1474587482" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/164709/38b37041e311f566021c9bc000226ad5723d2781/original/img-4057.jpg?1474592746" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/164709/9660c5b984e254ce8db9fe4275984b6598d141fc/original/img-4047.jpg?1474588013" class="size_l justify_center border_" />Getting away is good for my soul. it forces me to slow down. When traveling, the day's accomplishments can be simply to take in the natural beauty of a place and to sample local food. We saw beautiful natural places, learned about the first nations people in B.C. and their culture, and ate some of the best salmon and oysters we've ever tasted. And, we made a pilgrimage to the city of Nanaimo and found the Bocca cafe with award-winning Nanaimo bars (a decadent dessert that makes peanut butter cups seem like a healthy treat). <a contents="Click for the recipie." data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.foodnetwork.ca/shows/great-canadian-cookbook/recipe/the-ultimate-nanaimo-bar/16810/" target="_blank">Click here for the recipie.</a><br><br>Now it's back to songwriting, recording and teaching.

It's a super catchy, gotta get up and move kinda song called Best Night of Our Lives. <br><br>Monday night I sang a couple of my songs under the stars at Cortney Matz's Moonlight Mondays on the patio at Epiphany Space. This is me and Cortney after we performed our co-written song Even if You're Broken. Several people said we made them cry with that one. We love that.<br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/164709/8e368f1d7b98e7f5c6f70ca40a2fc46da21307cb/original/patricia-and-cortney-at-epiphany-space.jpg?1473037693" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><br>Then Friday, another cool recording session with Christine Rosander to record my harmony vocals on several songs for her upcoming CD, including our song Soul and Bone, which we co-wrote together. Here's one of us in the studio lounge, and another of me in the vocal booth.<img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/164709/102a9f38fdff7aa9fa44c7e9ad4aa17929400c57/original/christine-and-patricia-in-the-studio.jpg?1473037737" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/164709/9fedb59cdc4a7f585937923588739ede8d479ede/original/patricia-on-the-mic-in-the-studio.jpg?1473037741" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><br>This morning we sang Soul and Bone at Christine's church in the Palisades and many said they got "chills." Yasssss. <br><br>Now, I'm headed to my co-writer Ali Handal's birthday party to celebrate, eat yummy food, play Cards Against Humanity, and probably do a little sangin'. <br>So lucky and grateful.</p>Patricia Bahiatag:dreamsongsrecords.com,2005:Post/43321162016-08-18T21:21:11-07:002017-01-12T06:17:29-08:00In the Studio for SOUL AND BONEI'm excited to be going into the studio for the recording of SOUL AND BONE a new song I wrote with my friend, the singer-songwriter and Americana artist, Christine Rosander. Christine and I both live here in Los Angeles, but we met in Nashville last Summer at a songwriting retreat with Mary Gauthier. (Here we are with Mary outside Monell's Restaurant in Nashville). It so happens that Mary is playing at McCabe's tomorrow night. We are hoping to get to see her after we finish at the studio.<br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/164709/c84a6b4479d5e38f978bbd2fb825f2b800cbceb1/original/patricia-mary-gauthier-and-christine-rosander-outside-monells-in-nashville.jpg?1471580349" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><br><br>SOUL AND BONE will be on Christine's forthcoming CD "Been a Long Time."

Most days I feel it to varying degrees, but this week has been over the top amazing and just keeps getting better. Here are a few of the highlights:<br><br><strong>In the Studio</strong><br>Monday and Tuesday this week I was in the studio with Bill Lefler, the producer who worked on so many of my favorite Ingrid Michaelson recordings. My co-writers and I were recording tracks for The Bright Times, a new musical project I have been collaborating on since the Spring of this year. The music for this project is upbeat, positive, quirky, feel-good fun, with themes that are designed to support picture: ads and film/TV. I've spent a lot of time in studios over the years, and can't remember a time when I had more fun. It was fantastic. Or as my sister would say, "fantasmagorical". A few pics to give you the feel:<br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/164709/e98ed0cbced095c4fdfce66e37e49d49c0024fbb/original/claps-and-stomps-in-studio-for-win-the-day-august-2-2016.jpg?1470258100" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/164709/ff7bf635da0353044f9acab4ea60743eceedb50f/original/patricia-playing-marimba-in-studio-august-1-2016.jpg?1470258090" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/164709/1514421fc0e7294f8df1c0b01cf51e087cf7de48/original/patricia-lindsay-and-john-t-singing-backgrounds-august-1-2016.jpg?1470258113" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><p>Thursday and Friday I'm back in the studio on a different project called Scarlet Wolves I'm working on with my amazing co-writers and artists Connie Lim and Athena Marie Byrne. We are self-producing an EP of mostly dark, spooky songs for film trailers and film/TV. The Scarlet Wolves songs are darker, but all still have hope and heart, and are equally amazing.<br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/164709/716c11bbf45cf4b616d8a6bd4ae439a94734f2b2/original/img-3705.jpg?1470259737" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><br>Stay tuned to social media for sneak peeks from both projects.</p><strong>On Stage</strong><br>Tonight, I'm playing the <a contents="International Pop Overthrow Festival" data-link-label="Shows" data-link-type="page" href="/shows" target="_blank">International Pop Overthrow Festival</a> for my 4th year in a row!

I remember getting up in the morning and starting off the day with Prince on the stereo. I never saw him perform live. There was a small local club in the Mission District of San Francisco my roommate and I used to go to a lot. One Sunday night when we were staying in to study, he showed up without warning and sat in with the house band. I still regret "being good" that night and staying home to study. Should have heeded Prince's advice:<br><br>Dearly beloved. </p>
<p>We are gathered here today </p>
<p>To get through this thing called </p>
<p>life </p>
<p>Electric word...life. </p>
<p>It means forever (and that's a mighty long time) </p>
<p>But I'm here to tell you... </p>
<p>There's something else. </p>
<p>The after world. </p>
<p>A world of never ending happiness... </p>
<p>You can always see the sun, day or night. </p>
<p>So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills (You know the one, "Dr. Everything'll Be Alright")... </p>
<p>Instead of asking him how much of your time is left, Ask him how much of your mind, baby. </p>
<p>'Cause in this life? </p>
<p>Things are much harder than in the after world. </p>
<p>In this life... </p>
<p>You're on your own </p>
<p>And if the elevator tries to bring you down? </p>
<p>Go crazy. </p>
<p>PUNCH A HIGHER FLOOR. </p>
<p>"Let's Go Crazy" - from "Purple Rain".<br><br>Rest in Peace Prince<br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/164709/f3d3a261cd2c1b9cfb2b275efface1a2042af206/original/13006501-10154822002719966-2359514624737872144-n.jpg?0" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>Patricia Bahiatag:dreamsongsrecords.com,2005:Post/41224882016-04-06T08:25:00-07:002017-01-12T06:17:29-08:00Bucket-List Life News<p>Since my last post, February and March were a whirlwind of shows, conferences, co-writes, and studio sessions. And suddenly it is April. I hope you're enjoying Spring. Here in L.A., after a month of unseasonably cool weather, it was 91 degrees today. I'm not complaining, but I am wondering how hot July will be.... Whew!<br><br>Here are some of the highlights since my last post: Performing and sharing my music at the at the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition Annual Conference in Baltimore, MD. I met so many women and men who are making a difference in research and raising awareness of the illness. My music was very well-received, as were the Every Day is a Gift tank tops and tee shirts! Here are a couple of pictures: <br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/164709/24fe735bfab254466430ee93c42ca162df72a609/original/pb-at-nocc-conference-2016.jpg?0" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/164709/1d642def0822240a984f77e24c62ba1c3f480c2c/original/pb-at-nocc-merch-booth-img-3024.jpg?0" class="size_l justify_center border_" />Another highlight was performing at Bill Berry's Songwriters Square, an intimate and lively Nashville-style songwriters in the round concert with Gregg Sutton and James Lee Stanley. We had a lot of fun. <br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/164709/625546d7479a0315491550126239400e540a457e/original/patricia-singing-on-guitar-at-songwriters-square-2-21-16.jpg?0" class="size_l justify_center border_" />I've been writing and recording songs for various projects, including songs for ads, singing background vocals on a friend's upcoming EP (it is amazing, but can't reveal any details yet.) And, I co-wrote a gospel song with the composer Matt Hirt and sang on a 4-song gospel recording session for film/tv with Linda McCrary, Markita Knight, Charles McCrary, and Kurt Lykes. Look them up--you'll be blown away by who they've sung with--but so humble, you'd never hear about it from them). Such a high to sing with these powerhouse singers. <br><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/164709/142652a7dacb3f8b1be51d100f8497f4425da87b/original/img-3100.jpg?0" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/164709/971ebc9ab5e2c1f70d3ec8f874147a39d52cc73c/original/img-3111-1.jpg?0" class="size_l justify_center border_" />In April, I'll be at the ASCAP Expo in Los Angeles.

I'm still getting used to writing/typing 2016. The holidays are over, and the calendar says it's time to "get back to it."

The series revolves around the power of belief, and posits that we become what we believe. (A scary thought at times, if you could hear some of my inner chatter...but powerful.) I am learning how to train/retrain my brain, exposing damaging inner thoughts and beliefs, bringing them to light and by doing so, diminishing their power, as I reframe them in a healthier, more positive light.<br><br>This is not new, or ground-breaking, of course. Buddha said as much hundreds of years ago. "What you think you become. What you feel you attract. What you imagine, you create." But I wanted to share this with you.

Opening with two uplifting tunes Resilient and Good Day, she packs the album with fun and upbeat sing-along songs perfect for a Sunday morning wake up. Bahia writes lyrics with a real feeling for the preciousness of life and love. Her welcoming voice lead us through ten songs held together by the Brian Wilsonesque production of Jonathan Hayes from Little Big Tracks studios. With bouncy melodies that will have you singing along by the second chorus, Save Your Heart is a frothy treat, filled in the middle with the real good lyric stuff. Hot Pick: "Happy Birthday".</p>

Sometimes it is all we can do.<br><br>Why We Walk is a song I wrote inspired by the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition's "break the silence" campaign. www.ovarian.org.<br><strong>Get your free download of the song here: <a contents="Why We Walk Free Download" data-link-label="" data-link-type="track" href="/track/878435/why-we-walk">Why We Walk Free Download</a></strong><br><br>September is ovarian cancer awareness month. As one of the lucky few to have survived ovarian cancer, I feel called to help raise awareness of the illness, which is the 5th leading malignant cause of death for U.S. women. I lost a cousin to ovarian cancer last year, and have more than one friend who is in treatment now. I was lucky to be diagnosed early in my case. <br><br>Early detection is often the key to survival, because if the illness is detected after reaching the advanced stages, it is much more difficult to treat. Early detection requires awareness of the symptoms and signs. Visit the <a contents="National Ovarian Cancer Coalition" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.ovarian.org/symptoms.php">National Ovarian Cancer Coalition</a> for a list of the symptoms and signs women of all ages (and the people who love them) need to know about.<br><br><br><em>Why We Walk</em> is written as a sing-along and call-response song, and is set at a walking speed, so it can be walked to and sung to during walks. And though it was originally inspired by my illness, the song can be sung for anything we walk to cure. Please feel free to share it at walks for cancer, Alzheimers disease, multiple sclerosis, heart disease, HIV, ALS, etc; and let me know when you hear it played! <strong>Get your free download of the song here: <a contents="Why We Walk Free Download" data-link-label="" data-link-type="track" href="/track/878435/why-we-walk">Why We Walk Free Download</a></strong><br><br><strong>Why We Walk Patricia Bahia</strong><br> <br>Today we will remember,<br>Those who live and those we’ve lost<br>In their names we give it all we’ve got to reach the mountaintop<br> <br>We’re walking for a cure now<br>We are walking for our lives<br>We lift our voices high to break the silence and shine a brighter light<br> <br><strong>This is why we walk oh</strong><br><strong>This is why we walk oh</strong><br><strong>This is why we walk and we won’t stop, cuz</strong><br><strong>This is why--- we walk</strong><br> <br>We're walking for the sisters<br>The mothers and the wives<br>We're walking for the empty place at the table they've left behind<br> <br>We're walking for the families,<br>The husbands and the sons<br>And we’re walking all together, cuz it touches everyone<br> <br><strong>This is why we walk oh</strong><br><strong>This is why we walk oh</strong><br><strong>This is why we walk and we won’t stop, cuz</strong><br><strong>This is why--- we walk</strong><br> <br><em>With every step we’re taking, </em><br><em>We’re getting closer to the top</em><br><em>If we all can do a little, together, together, together we can do a lot</em><br> <br><strong>This is why we walk oh</strong><br><strong>This is why we walk oh</strong><br><strong>This is why we walk and we won’t stop, cuz</strong><br><strong>This is why we</strong><br> <br><strong>Walk on Walk on</strong><br><strong>Walk on Walk on</strong><br><strong>Walk on Walk on</strong><br> <br><strong>This is why we walk oh</strong><br><strong>This is why we walk oh</strong><br><strong>This is why we walk and we won’t stop, cuz</strong><br><strong>This is why--- we walk</strong><br> <br><strong>This is why we walk oh</strong><br><strong>This is why we walk oh</strong><br><strong>This is why we walk and we won’t stop, cuz</strong><br><strong>This is why--- we walk</strong><br><strong>This is why we walk and we won’t stop, cuz</strong><br><strong>This is why--- we walk</strong><br> <br>Copyright Words and Music: Patricia Bahia / Harmony Bay Music, (ASCAP)<br>www.patriciabahia.com<br><br><strong>Get your free download of the song here: <a contents="Why We Walk Free Download" data-link-label="" data-link-type="track" href="/track/878435/why-we-walk">Why We Walk Free Download</a></strong><br> Patricia Bahiatag:dreamsongsrecords.com,2005:Post/37841792015-07-20T09:12:46-07:002015-09-12T17:32:07-07:00Why Sing?I sing because I love it. I didn't analyse it, it was just something I've always liked to do. Singing alone while walking on a trail, or while driving, or in the shower, or with others in harmony, in choirs, quartets, duos.

If you've ever been knocked down and got back up again, this song is for you. The first song on my upcoming CD, Save Your Heart, it was Inspired by the story of Malala Yousafzai, a teenage Pakastani girl shot by the Taliban for her activism for female education.

It truly lives up to the name Music City. Lots of types of music is being made in Nashville now, in addition to the country music it first became famous for. My week there included three days of songwriting and community with Americana artist Mary Gauthier; a performance on the iconic Bluebird Café stage; and experiencing great live music from some of the best songwriters in the U.S. And, I got to visit with music friends who have left Los Angeles and moved to Nashville, take a yoga class in a beautiful old house on Music Row that was once owned by Roy Orbison, and sit at the piano in RCA studio B, where most of Elvis’ many hit songs were recorded. It was a great time, and has already inspired the start of some new songs.</span>Patricia Bahiatag:dreamsongsrecords.com,2005:Post/37711602015-07-09T00:27:49-07:002015-07-09T00:27:49-07:00Co-written song in ABC Promo for QuanticoExciting news!
