Happy 5 years to my first full length album (that I crowdfunded thanks to so many of you) 💚💚 - to be honest, it feels like a lifetime ago. ⁣

⁣

In oh so many ways, I had no idea what I was doing in terms of releasing and marketing it (and, moreover, in terms of, like, life) back then, but I’m still proud of this collection of songs about being young and in love (recorded at the gorgeous @missionsoundnyc).

⁣ ⁣

This album definitely marks a moment in time in my musical and emotional maturation, and I can see just how much i was trying to figure out things back then.

⁣ ⁣

I’m grateful for having figured out some of them, and accepted that maybe some of them aren’t meant to be figured out, but rather, simply experienced.⁣

⁣

I’m also grateful to the woman who was trying so hard, and continues to try, to make sense of her world.⁣

⁣

Here’s to trying, here’s to growth, and here’s to all you green hearts out there. 🥂⁣

Today, the uplifting video for "Preacher," starring @lesleybarth and @chuckramseymusic, celebrates its first anniversary! "Preacher" is such a good song about a seriously dysfunctional breakup that is so funny it will make you cry tears of laughter! 😂 You'll find the video on @youtube at https://bit.ly/yt_lesleybarth_omv_preacher

P.S. Since "Preacher" is also one of the songs on the Alive with Clive Playlist on Spotify, after you enjoy the video you'll in all likelihood want to vote every day for the song to move into the Top 4 of the playlist at https://alivewithclive.tv/vote

With a beat that will cause your heartbeat to quicken and arouse in you an irresistible urge to start dancing, "Preacher" delivers! It's a duet @lesleybarth performs with her husband, @chuckramseymusic, on her new album, Big Time Baby. And if you want to give your immune system a mega dose of dopamine by smiling for almost 4 minutes non-stop, you absolutely must see the fabulous video -- on @igtv @lesleybarth -- of Lesley and Chuck performing “Preacher" in the very professional-looking theater they created in their kitchen!

P.S. "Preacher" has just been added to the @alivewithclivetvshow playlist on @spotify at https://bit.ly/sp_awc_playlist

One of the hidden gems on the Alive with Clive Playlist on Spotify is "Pinwheels" by @lesleybarth. It's a beautiful metaphorical song about how when two people form a relationship, their unification represents a new creation, just like the separate colors of pinwheels become indistinguishable in the wind.

"Who is the woman looking back at the woman looking back me?" Inspiration today from @lesleybarth via this selfie in the mirror, another pic you'll see on her page here on @instagram, and her words reposted below!

P.S. # 1: "Woman Looking Back at Me" is one of the songs on the album Big Time Baby Lesley released in May last year, and it's a song with such thoughtfully-crafted lyrics you'll want to listen to it initially at least twice, and then hear it again often. It's currently the sixth song on the Alive with Clive Playlist on Spotify at https://bit.ly/sp_awc_playlist

P.S. # 2: To see "Woman Looking Back at Me" move to the top of the Alive with Clive playlist on #spotify, vote for it every day at https://alivewithclive.tv/vote

Our office/ studio space has been taken over by burp cloths, onesies, and a changing table and rocking chair. Slightly chaotic and so so much fuller than before - which is deeply fitting for this moment. This is a new season for me (and for so many of us), and grateful to spend an afternoon at home, lesson-prepping, hanging with baby, trying on new thrift store finds, packing away some of the old stuff that doesn’t fit, and listening to some inspiration from @lindseykirkendall on bringing your full self to the table, particularly as a mother and artist. I’m excited by this journey, have not a clue what’s next, and am giving myself some space to dream/ reset. PSA: You don’t have to have it all figured out coming out of this pandemic - there’s a lot of pieces to pick up, healing, grieving, and reimagining to do. Grateful for community that encourages this and the newfound breathing room I have here in Nashville after years of hustle in NYC (gosh I still miss her, tho❤️ - always will be in my heart). Be gentle on yourselves, friends. Everyone is making it up as they go.

Visit @lesleybarth here on @instagram to see -- in the third picture in the carousel for this post -- how the nifty merch roulette wheel works, so you can give it a spin on Friday!

As I get closer to the one-year anniversary of my last album “Big Time Baby,” I’m going to be doing a bit of celebrating and sharing. Was really hard to not be able to tour it last spring/ summer, and though that also won’t be happening this year, I feel a little less gloomy about it all. SO - I’m going to be doing merch giveaways for the next several weeks - the first will be on Friday in conjunction with #bandcampfriday. Anyone who grabs a digital copy of “Big Time Baby” on Bandcamp this Friday will get to spin (virtually) the merch roulette wheel and I’ll ship them their prize and a lil’ note! Felt a lot of feelings opening this suitcase back up, and now I’m just excited to do some celebrating and have fun, something which felt next to impossible during the time I was releasing the record. ☀️💓

@chuckramseymusic's first gig as a #nashvillesinger is at @sidgoldsnashville on Wednesday!
