It’s out next Friday! “Never Alone” new single by yo /moi /io @lolaparks, produced by @catherine_anne_h @ @capsulevancouver A minimalist acoustic piano ballad about a loved one not returning home. Mom’s dad was in the army. Mom passed away suddenly a year ago. There is a broken promise: I will always love you. You will never be alone. Aligned with #Remembrance Day, there is a sadness, grief, loss but also a carrying on, an inner fortitude,l and resilience: you got to keep on. ALA @adele @brandicarlile @billieeilish @lewiscapaldi I am reminded of a Nepali saying: “Ke garne? Jindaagi ustai chaa” = “What to do? Life’s like this” 🌊🌪⚡️⛈🌈🌤✨🌅🎶 #neveralone❤️ #newmusicfridays you can still PreSave: https://show.co/cHp1V8m #liveyourbestlife https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckj9mbEr6tc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

One year ago today, the sun came out followed by two double rainbows 🌈 🌈 on the drive home from the hospital: mama had breathed her last breath in Mother Earth as Lynne Marie Jeannette Bernier Powlik. Tina Turner said it best, mama, you were and continue to be #simplythebest❤️. Ironically I was at the hospital this morning for a pulmonary function test. As it runs in the family with you and your mom, I thought to get checked out. My lungs are good for now! The respiratory tech and are serendipitously similar: we both studied anthropology, both into fitness (she did yoga training - in Greece — she verified it’s weird there, I told her about Roxanne; I’ve got my personal training, running, cycling, hiking, TRX, vball, softball - she said I should box again); she loves music but can’t sing (she said I should look into music therapy, I said I have), both lived and loved living in north van, and.. when she saw my golden eagle 🦅 feather 🪶 tattoo, she showed me her Sparrow Hawk tattoo (I told her about your song sparrow visits). Miss you sweet mama, more than feels bearable some days. Dad and I are keeping busy and he comes to Mexico too, but you know this. Love you beyond words or the body can contain. Vous êtes mon raisin d’être, et je n’oublie jamais/ Te amo muchissimo y te escucho : #loveyoumore❤️ #youarelightandlove (at Langley, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjBnKryv4cB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It’s OUT and ABOUT, music cats!! Check out this homage to those lost and taken from us and this earthly plane too early on the platform of your liking. I just made a lyric vid too- don’t judge, I miss Final Cut Pro ha, but I know and feel the importance of visual stimulation and also knowing the lyrics of songs. Love to you.

Excited to tell you: New single “It’ll Be All Right” out September 2. New single "It'll Be All Right" by Lola Parks drops Sep 2 Pre-Save today to hear it first: https://show.co/0AYMhS2 A minimalist acoustic Indie Folk track along the lines of Anaïs Mitchell, Laura Marling and Tracy Chapman… Based on Billie Holiday's struggles and strife as a female and a person of colour with sexism, racism and addiction, and speaking to today's opioid overdose crisis and skyrocketing youth suicide rates... "It'll Be All Right" is about the tragedy of early loss of life, whether overdose, suicide or natural causes. And yet, amid the chaos, there is awareness, change and optimism for the future: “It'll be all right. It'll be okay. Gonna hold on tight anyway. Gonna get it right. It'll be tough at first. But it'll be all right." #newmusicfriday #femalesingersongwriter #thankyouforsupportingoriginalmusic https://www.instagram.com/p/ChdfV5-jwta/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
