- "My parents were born in a different country, and then I was raised in the suburbs. I never had strong sense of community, but I always had this natural attraction to music, and it always provided me a lot of comfort. I didn't really consider myself a musician until I was in high school. And so I never thought about music in this very serious way, but I always subconsciously realized it was a huge part of who I am. . . I like so many different types of music that no one around me really liked, [that] my parents didn't really listen to. Music is a really important part of how I found myself and where I'm rooted in my self-love.
I'm really inspired by what [SoS is] doing and I'm really grateful to be a part in that way. Because I think about my life, and I think about music at the core of how I've formed myself. It's special to share that so other people can put some sort of validity to how powerful music can be." - June McDoom

Today we’re releasing our next video in partnership with the 988 Suicide + Crisis Lifeline and our “Song That Found Me At The Right Time” series. This one features the rising June McDoom and her take on the classic Judee Sill track “Emerald River Dance”.
There is something in McDoom's soft vocal delivery that captivated us at SoS from the very first time we heard her. Her sound draws from a myriad of influences, reflecting her deep connection to dub music with quiet space between notes, but also from classic folk and indie. Her heartfelt voice whispers profound truths in a way that is uniquely her own.
"Emerald River Dance," a song that celebrates all living things and their fatal destiny. This performance appropriately felt like a duet with nature itself-birds singing, leaves rustling and vinyl strings strumming.

"Emerald river dance with such velvety grace to the rhythm of the Earth
And every beat reveals magic pathways of light where each seeker finds rebirth
Listen to the bleating absence of sound and you will hear what is
And you will hear what is
And you will hear what is
And Nature ever favors softness like grass growing gently through cement
And softness often thrives where brutality lies, in a shroud of Death's foul scent"
