Singled Out: Miss Christine's Conversion06-29-2019
Miss Christine released her brand new album "Conversion" yesterday (June 28th) and to celebrate we asked her to tell us about the title song. Here is the story: "Conversion" is a song that I wrote during a time of my life when I felt stuck. At the time, I had been living in Nashville for about two years, going through the motions as a hired gun. One day I woke up and realized that I wasn't in the driver's seat anymore. My relationship and the work I was doing to make money were controlling me. I had become a passenger. This song helped me work through those feelings. To regain some control of my life, I decided to move out of Nashville. That fall I was so inspired watching Esperanza Spalding's Exposure session. I knew I had to record my album in a similar way. Although bass is my primary instrument, I usually write songs on acoustic guitar. My phone was filled with thirty demo recordings. Nestled on a farm in Iowa, I listened through my raw recordings one by one. "Conversion" was one of the twelve that made the final cut.
Every time I play "Conversion" live, the song takes on a whole new meaning. My songwriter friends and I often say that songwriting brings out things from your subconscious that you don't understand until months, sometimes years later. The situation I was in changed me and my lyrics "I'll never be the same" are so true. At the time I didn't know it but it was all part of the process to put me on the right path. I'm done letting fear get in the way. If you're reading this, I hope that you'll do the same. Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen and watch for yourself right here!
