my mom, the one and only mama g, has bone marrow cancer and needs a blood stem cell transplant to save her life. she currently has no donor matches, so we are doing everything in our power to search the globe to find her one! joining the registry is quick and easy, and can be done in most countries in the world.
my mom is the actual light of the sun manifested in human form. she has more energy and effort and love and creativity than should be possible for any one person to possess, let alone such an adorably tiny one. her main goal in life is to spread happiness, and she fulfills this every single day. she is our everything. she has so many more drawings to draw, people’s days to make, projects to dream up, cookies to bake, grandchildren to meet. please help us keep her here.
ways you can help: 1. head to https://linktr.ee/kinagrannis to get a free swab kit sent to you. swab and return asap! 2. share this message far and wide! in most countries it is free and easy to register to become a bone marrow/blood stem cell donor. the more people around the world that register, the more lives will be saved. we have listed some helpful resources on our page for international folks. 3. if there’s any way you think you could help, please reach out! our brains are admittedly not at their best at the moment and we’ll take all the support we can find ❤
some other things worth noting: - my mom is japanese and therefore has a better chance of matching with someone who is also japanese. if you know anyone with japanese blood, please pass this along! (that said, her perfect match could be anyone of any race, so ideally everyone under the sun gets on the registry!) - AAPI folks (as well as other people of color) are underrepresented in the bone marrow registry so it can be MUCH harder for them to find a match. let’s fix this!
thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of our hearts. let’s find #AMatchForMamaG ❤

before starting ivf, the idea of it was crushing to me. i deeply wanted to believe that it would be possible for us to conceive naturally, and involving modern medicine felt cold and sterile and somehow less magical. but as time went on, my heart broke one too many times, and eventually i knew i was ready. i also knew if we were going to take this path, the last thing i wanted was to feel like a victim. as someone surrounded by friends and family getting pregnant with ease (and as someone with a needle phobia!), this was easier said than done. but life's circumstances ended up being my greatest teachers (as per usual), and after a lot of tears and processing, i began to embrace my path. we emptied out the room we'd hoped might become a nursery one day and created a sacred place for my daily injections. each day, before i gave myself 3-4 shots, we sat, lit a candle, put on some music, said some words of intention, and meditated over my syringes to try and infuse them with as much love as possible. what i feared would be cold and sterile became one of the most love-filled and sacred experiences of my life, and how we ended up bringing our daughter into the world now feels like the most meaningful and powerful way we could have done it. the footage used in this music video is from our third ivf egg retrieval, which (like most of ivf) was an emotional roller coaster. after my daily blood draw and scan, we would walk in the woods and try to talk ourselves back to being whole. every day a new worry or fear would arise, and we would spend the next many hours trying to remind ourselves to surrender, to keep open, to keep learning, to keep looking for the love that was still in our lives. the hardest part was working to believe that if at the end of all of this there still was no baby--we would still find joy, we would still create meaning and purpose in our lives, and we would still, ultimately, eventually, be okay. though that headspace was tricky to find and trickier to stay in, there was so much beauty in accessing that delicate little place where the light lives, a place that's always there for us. touching that spot is what this song, "light", is about.
wellll surprise!! my new album “it’s hard to be human” is out 😱😭♥️🎉🙌🏻 this collection of songs chronicles my last three years of life—including moments of immense grief and hopelessness as well as moments of incredible clarity and gratitude. these songs found me as i navigated social anxiety and tended to my mental health, tried to come to terms with a world seemingly on fire, and journeyed through infertility, IVF, and a miscarriage. within all of that, however, there were tremendous amounts of beauty and love, too. these three years have been so chock-full of humanness. they broke me open and filled me up over and over again, taught me incredible lessons (and then taught them to me again every time i inevitably forgot what i had learned), and gave me such an incredibly deep love and compassion for all humans going through their stuff. my “stuff” may have looked a certain way these past years, but as humans, the raw experiences we go through—love, loss, joy, despair, existential overwhelm, etc, really bind and bond us in our humanness. this record is a meditation on lost dreams, hope, surrender, and the ultimate realization that we have everything we need. these last 9 months especially have been so rich with life—double pregnant with a miracle human baby and a labor-of-love album baby, and it’s been so meaningful to build them in tandem and have them both entering the world around the same time. after everything we’ve been through, it’s impossible to describe how special it feels that this album cover features TWO humans on their own journeys. our daughter could be arriving any day now (which is just completely surreal and mind-blowing and nuts!), so i’m particularly thrilled i get to share THIS baby with you now before life gets a little crazy for a while. i can’t believe i am here after all these years. thank you all for your love and support and encouragement, and until i’m back with more music, i hope you and this little family of songs can spend some quality time together :) “it’s hard to be human” is out now in all the places ♥️Kina Grannis - Another Way (Official Video)Kina Grannis2021-10-01 | Stream on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3a4QW57 Download/Stream Everywhere: ffm.to/kganotherway Join KG Records: http://kgrecords.com

if there's one thing life has taught me time and time again, it's that things rarely go to plan. and if there's a second thing life has taught me, it's that when i kick and scream and resist what has happened, i just end up generating more pain for myself. ... okay and if there's a THIRD thing life has taught me, it's that more often than not, after a little time and space and acceptance, i manage to find a lot of beauty and learnings and unexpectedly wonderful things that would not have otherwise existed if things had gone according to my original (and completely made up) plan. i'm not trying to preach toxic positivity here--there's no spinning that so many of life's events are just unbearably unfair and painful and heartbreaking. but if this is how the cards have fallen, how much energy might we waste fruitlessly resisting what has come to pass and wishing it away? the more i have learned to surrender to the unfolding of things, allowing myself to feel that pain and heartache fully, while trying to find a way to move forward WITH it, as opposed to living in a perpetual state of resistance/anger/sadness/resentment, the more i have found some level of peace, and the more i have been able to see the beauty that does still exist in every moment. this of course doesn't mean we passively accept the way things are--if there is something to be DONE about things, we should by all means DO it!! but there's definitely something to be gained by learning to differentiate between the times where we can do something about it and the times we can't. so now, when life laughs at my little human plans and throws something else my way, i try to soften. i honor my pain, and hold out hope that there may someday be beauty and growth and magic born from this very moment. who am i to presume to know the way things *should* go. this is what my new song, “another way”, is all about. i hope it resonates with you somehow.
How would you know if what you’re needing Isn’t something you’re not seeing What if you lost the chance to be what you could be
How would you know that something better Wasn’t waiting for bad weather To soak its seeds, to give you everything you need
We have a habit of Thinking we know the way it goes Then it goes another way I know the latter is not a laughing matter But it seems we’d be crazy not to think That maybe this could be Exactly what should be
How would you know if someone wiser Wasn’t forging in these fires What if you’d washed away what could’ve set you free
How would you know if you’ve mistaken When your heart is bruised and aching For a bad thing when all you needed was to bleed
We have a habit of Thinking we know the way it goes Then it goes another way I know the latter is not a laughing matter But it seems we’d be crazy not to think That maybe this could be Exactly what should be
What if we choose that we’ll let go of All the things we’ve no control of What if we learn to love whatever comes to be

There in my heart I feel it go The weight of everything I have known Can I decide Leave it behind And fall away into the unknown I’m afraid it will come back again
And for a moment I felt nothing ever dies Even in darkness I will try, and I’ll try, and I’ll try
Why does the moon up in the sky Feel something like my family tonight
Is she alone And does she cry Each time we turn away from her light Could we ever really understand
And maybe time is like a night that never ends Maybe tomorrow comes again, and again, and againKina Grannis - Quiet (Official Video)Kina Grannis2021-08-06 | Stream on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3a4QW57 Download/Stream Everywhere: ffm.to/kgquiet Join KG Records: http://kgrecords.com
a little experiment in steeping in my introversion. if it feels uncomfortable to watch, imagine that feeling times 10, playing in the background of nearly all your social interactions for most of your life, while you are desperately trying to come off as a normal human being. 😂😬🥴😭
it was interesting to see how i did end up settling into it, much like i’ve settled into my introversion and anxieties in real life. but that doesn’t mean it’s not gonna look awkward along the way 😂 (and turns out i don’t know what to do with my mouth whether or not i’m talking 😂😂)
If I could let you in my skin Then you would know the state I’m in Feeling every question, every end
Sometimes it’s hard for me to see Anything else but stormy seas Set the boat on fire set me free
How was I supposed to get by Pick myself up, say it’s alright, alright I didn’t know it was fine I didn’t know it was fine to be quiet
I never knew where I belonged Searched for myself in every song But I had it in the stairwells all along
How was I supposed to get by Pick myself up, say it’s alright, alright I didn’t know it was fine I didn’t know it was fine to be quiet
How was I supposed to get by Pick myself up, say it’s alright, alright I didn’t know it was fine I didn’t know it was fine to be quiet

in the early days of trying to start a family, i often let my mind wander and imagine what was to come—sitting with our baby in the sun, her amongst our family in the yard, jesse getting to be a dad. as the years went on, it became too painful to let these scenes in—letting in hope simultaneously let in a fear and pain so intense it was hard to stomach. so to protect my heart i built up strong walls between myself and that dream until i couldn’t even picture it anymore. sometimes i couldn’t even connect to wanting it, but something deep and quiet inside of me kept my compass pointed firmly in that direction. "future memories" fell out of me one year ago during a time of incredible hope and incredible fear. we were weeks away from our first IVF embryo transfer. three and a half years of infertility building up to a moment where maybe maybe maybe this dream could be realized. for the first time in a long time, this song let me go there. the scenes snuck back into my consciousness and out of my mouth before i knew to stop them, and by the first chorus it all hit me and i broke down in tears. letting the hope back in was a terrifying thing. if you’ve followed along with our story, then you know that the transfer worked—we experienced a miracle pregnancy and for a short while we floated around in complete and utter bliss and gratitude and disbelief until we learned that we had lost it. the shock of such a high followed by such a low knocked us off our feet and we spent the next couple months grieving and letting go of our dream once again. getting to release this song one year later, having mourned that loss, started over from scratch with IVF, wrestled with hope and fear some more and finally come to a sort of peace with the reality that this may never come to be, and now, being months away from welcoming our daughter into the world--it is surreal and incredible. this song was forged in a purely imaginary world, and now that world is finally merging with our actual lives. i couldn’t be more grateful. ♡
time and the arrow beckon me hiding in the pages listening and the stories all grow tired, tired, tired
so we photograph the way we felt and we cling when it starts fading still we know that we hold everything
you and the roses dance around we’re in the garden smiling i didn’t notice how much love i’ve known the setting sun will pause for no one
future memories often lie inside of all the hope, inside the light so we follow every star and pray in time
you and the roses dance around we’re in the garden laughing i didn’t notice how much you had grown the setting sun will pause for no one
we watch the leaves unfolding quietly no tugging at the time or way of things and we mirror both the growth and withering
you and the roses dance around he’s in the garden crying i didn’t notice yet that i had gone the setting sun will pause for no one

Oh what a love we have Less of a face than an altar We never kept our cool So overjoyed in its honor
Oh what a love we have Watched as it sank under water A heavier mindset then What would have been of the daughters
Oh what a love we have Lifting off all other matters If we just keep it clear Don’t forget, don’t forget, don’t forget
Our love is our love

this song is about the chapter that comes after the knockdown--the chapter where you start to come to again, and though you're weak and hollowed out and broken, you're ready to start trying to put the pieces back together. to me it feels like the beginning of healing. or maybe the beginning of being WILLING to heal. it's about baby steps and celebrating the small wins and giving yourself grace on the occasions you might momentarily stumble back into the dark. "crawl" found its way to me in a dire moment and served as a little mantra i could sing to myself as i ever-so-slowly trudged my way back to myself.
so happy to send this little song out into the world to live its life! i hope it can offer the teensiest bit of light in these heavy times. sending you all love and hope and healing!
Knock on the door I’m afraid of all the things that I am not Anymore, anymore anymore
Just like before I am scattered trying to find the parts of me On the floor, on the floor, on the floor
And I know it’s getting quiet But you know that I get like this
You and I will crawl until we both get up again Even though we’re getting tired, so tired You and I will fall and still we’ll make it in the end In the meantime you’ll remind me, I’m always fine
You and the stars Make a list of pretty things to fill my day Bless your heart, bless your heart, bless your heart
You deal the cards And it’s better when I seem to drift away From the dark, from the dark, from the dark
And I know that you’ve been trying Full of tears that you’ve been drying
You and I will crawl until we both get up again Even though we’re getting tired, so tired You and I will fall and still we’ll make it in the end In the meantime you’ll remind me, I’m always fine
The first time these words came out of my mouth I immediately started crying. There's something powerful that happens when you admit to yourself out loud the extent to which you are yearning for something, the extent to which you are hurting. It can break your heart into a million little pieces, but somehow that's better than the pressure cooker of trying to dismiss your emotions and make them smaller. Acknowledging and respecting where I was at allowed me to fully step into my heartache and give myself permission to feel all these things, and in some ways it was a first step in realizing I needed to be a bit kinder to myself, too. This is a song about yearning and loss and the delicate balance of trying to accept the path you're on while not letting it rob you of hope in the process.
“I Never Wanted Anything More Than I Wanted You” Lyrics
i’m at my lowest, caught in a moment, trying to get over this all of the marks i’ve logged on the page, the waiting has got me sick i can’t get away from it now i can’t get away from it now
i try to think lightly, picture the lines and hope that the feeling sticks where we’re all smiling, holding the prize, i can almost imagine it but i can’t even let myself now i can’t even let myself now
i feel you in the sea washing over me, something in the moving tides every fallen leaf seems to say to me, “everything in time”
i never wanted anything more than i wanted you i never wanted anything more than i wanted you come back to me i never wanted anything more than i wanted you
i look at the trees and fall into pieces, god i am sick of this if i believe that this is for me, can i make the most of it i can feel the weight of it now i can feel the weight of it now
i feel you in the sea washing over me, something in the moving tides every fallen leaf seems to say to me, “everything in time”
i never wanted anything more than i wanted you i never wanted anything more than i wanted you come back to me i never wanted anything more than i wanted you

this song attempts to encapsulate some of the pain as well as some of the lessons jesse and i have experienced these past years going through infertility. the constant grappling with time (and the perceived loss of it), the feelings of helplessness and the grasping at trying to control outcomes in a picture that is so much bigger than us, the struggle to keep trusting and finding meaning and beauty in things when part of you just wants to give up, watching your friends enter into a new phase of life you'd hoped to enter with them and seeing your paths begin to diverge. it's about thinking that we have control, yet knowing we have none. thinking we could have done things differently, that there was some better, alternate timeline we could have lived if we had made a different choice along the way. but at the end of the day, this timeline, this is the only one that’s real. and in this one, we are still alive, our families and friends are still safe. we still have each other. so we try not to reject this timeline or wish it away. time and time again we have learned that the hardest things we’ve gone through have been the things that shaped us, gave us depth, and taught us how precious the things that matter really are. i am grateful for every hardship i have had so far, and deep down i know that someday, somehow, i will be grateful for this one, too.

can you pull the car over i need to slow down get some words lined up and see how they sound
we just keep spinning and everyone’s hurt both of us talking but no one feels heard
i know you never wanna get me down but it’s a steep road i’m walking on you know i never wanna get you down but it’s a bit late now
it’s hard to be human it’s hard to grow up i just keep trying and keep messing up
and maybe i’m learning and finding my way but how could i feel this and still be okay
i’m sitting here staring at the gutter and wondering why i feel sorry for myself if we keep hurting one another starts to color how how we’re doing it to ourselves
i know you never wanna get me down but it’s a steep road i’m walking on you know i never wanna get you down but it’s a bit late nowKina Grannis - Souvenirs (Acoustic)Kina Grannis2020-05-05 | Stream "Souvenirs" on Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3a4QW57 Join KG Records: http://kgrecords.com Subscribe: http://bit.ly/2byBX9H
i've heard from a lot of you that the songs i wrote during and about my time in jakarta have started to make sense on a more personal level lately--and it really is strange how applicable these songs feel to the current times we're in. recently i’ve been reflecting on that period of my life and the lessons i learned there, and it's been a helpful reminder that even in times like these there are still so many gifts and lessons and things to be grateful for if we're willing to look for them. and also, oof--it can be incredibly overwhelming and scary and confusing and painful. trying to hold space for both to be true at the same time.
One afternoon when I was feeling particularly overwhelmed by the state of the world, this song came and tapped me on the shoulder as if to wake me up: "Hey Kina--choose love." A hundred times a day I am pulled to sadness/fear/unworthiness/anger, and in those moments it feels nearly impossible to come back to love and hope and gratitude, but every now and then, by some miracle, I can feel how there is space for all of it--that maybe it's less about rejecting the heavier things, but managing to meet those things with love, too.
i woke to a bitter scene the whole world was crumbling i cried to the guileless moon
the wolves came to comfort me and just as i fell asleep i heard they were crying, too
if we’re all hurting these days maybe it’s time we find a way to love love love love love anyway
as dew drops and and morning fell the sun came and wished me well and so i was on my way
i sat in the broken weeds and wove them into tapestries and watched as the remnants swayed
feeling that we are all the same all of one heartbeat, different names and we can love love love love love anyway
how do we get to the other side of it how do we get through the fight in it how do we get to the light in it
if we can make it through the gray maybe we’ll find another way if we love love love love love anyway

I've been searching dreary weather For a cloud that's lined in silver But the rain keeps on falling And my love, I am calling for you

Meet (or re-meet) my song "Never Never"! I wrote this song 15 years ago and it was originally recorded on one of my first albums called One More In The Attic (but that recording is pretty embarrassing so don't go listen!). It means a lot to get to re-visit this song and breathe some new life into it, hope you enjoy it!
