Stephanie ForryanThis has always been one of my favorite songs by Dar Williams because it approaches a complex topic with such sweetness and humanity. Gender equality, socialization, and sexism are complex matters that affect us all. And they are issues that need to be approached with compassion and empathy. The song "When I Was A Boy" does just that with a disarming tenderness.
So when Philipp Stroh approached me to be on the "Mean Stream Show with Phillipp Stroh" and talk about "the female experience", this song popped into my head after years of lying dormant. I feel like I could have written the first verse myself - Peter Pan was my childhood hero and I spent my free time practicing to be a Lost Boy by climbing every tree I could find. I was fearless and fierce. I still am in some ways, but I often rely on a "nice man to walk me home" to stay safe nowadays. Something "Lost Boy me" would never have believed she would need. And the twist of the last verse is a gentle reminder that we all lose when we encourage people to live according to stereotypes. So I thought I would also publish my cover of this Dar Williams song as a one-woman band performance. I hope you like it.
Just in case you'd like to sing along, here are the lyrics: I won't forget when Peter Pan came to my house, took my hand I said I was a boy I'm glad he didn't check I learned to fly, I learned to fight I lived a whole life in one night We saved each other's lives out on the pirate's deck And I remember that night When I'm leaving a late night with some friends And I hear somebody tell me it's not safe, someone should help me I need to find a nice man to walk me home When I was a boy, I scared the pants off of my mom Climbed what I could climb upon And I don't know how I survived I guess I knew the tricks that all boys knew And you can walk me home, but I was a boy, too I was a kid that you would like, just a small boy on her bike Riding topless, yeah, I never cared who saw My neighbor came outside to say, "get your shirt" I said "no way, it's the last time I'm not breaking any law" And now I'm in a clothing store, and the sign says less is more More that's tight means more to see, more for them, not more for me That can't help me climb a tree in ten seconds flat When I was a boy, see that picture? that was me Grass-stained shirt and dusty knees And I know things have gotta change They got pills to sell, they've got implants to put in, they've got implants to remove But I am not forgetting That I was a boy, too And like the woods where I would creep, it's a secret I can keep Except when I'm tired, except when I'm being caught off guard I've had a lonesome awful day, the conversation finds its way To catching fire-flies out in the backyard And I tell the man I'm with about the other life I lived And I say now you're top gun I have lost and you have won He says, "oh no, no, can't you see?" When I was a girl, my mom and I, we always talked And I picked flowers everywhere that I walked And I could always cry, now even when I'm alone I seldom do And I have lost some kindness But I was a girl, too And you were just like me, and I was just like you

Sadie Sink (who plays Maxine Mayfield) did an amazing job portraying this character's inner journey and confrontation with Vecna/Henry/One, which inspired this emotional take on the original song.
It makes me so happy to see Kate Bush experience the revival of a beautifully crafted song like this one! It's gone No. 1 in Norway, New Zealand, Switzerland, Sweden and Austria, No. 2 in the UK, and reached the top ten in the US. Kate Bush even talked about it on her website, saying: "You might’ve heard that the first part of the fantastic, gripping new series of 'Stranger Things’ has recently been released on Netflix. It features the song, ‘Running Up That Hill’ which is being given a whole new lease of life by the young fans who love the show - I love it too! Because of this, Running Up That Hill is charting around the world and has entered the UK chart at No. 8. It’s all really exciting! Thanks very much to everyone who has supported the song. I wait with bated breath for the rest of the series in July."
and
"Running Up That Hill has just gone to No 2 in the UK charts and No. 1 in Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, Sweden…. How utterly brilliant! It’s hard to take in the speed at which this has all been happening since the release of the first part of the Stranger Things new series. So many young people who love the show, discovering the song for the first time. The response to Running Up That Hill is something that has had its own energy and volition. A direct relationship between the shows and their audience and one that has stood completely outside of the music business. We’ve all been astounded to watch the track explode! Thanks so much to everyone who has supported the song and a really special thank you to the Duffer Brothers for creating something with such heart."
Congratulations to Kate Bush, her team, and the creative team behind Stranger Things!

Here are the lyrics in case you'd like to sing along: It doesn′t hurt me Do you wanna feel how it feels? You wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me? Do you wanna hear about the deal that I′m making? You It's you and me And if I only could I'd make a deal with God And I′d get him to swap our places Be running up that road Be running up that hill Be running up that building See if I only could
You don′t wanna hurt me But see how deep the bullet lies Unaware I'm tearing you asunder Oh, there is thunder in our hearts Is there so much hate for the ones we love? Well tell me, we both matter, don′t we? YouIt's you and me It′s you and me, won't be unhappy
Oh c'mon, baby, c′mon darling Let me steal this moment from you now C'mon, angel, c′mon, c'mon, darling Let′s exchange the experience
And if I only couldI'd make a deal with God And I′d get him to swap our places Be running up that road Be running up that hill With no problem See if I only could, I'd be running up that hill With no problem.

One of the musicians I coach was kind enough to lend me this microphone so I could see what it sounds like (many thanks!). I'll be sharing my full thoughts in a review, but what I'll say here is that different microphones often teach me about different facets of my voice and production capabilities. So if you have the opportunity to borrow gear from friends or colleagues, use it!

There were many highlights and small joys in 2020, despite all the hurdles and disappointments the year held. This moment was one of those bright spots. One day in the height of summer, I got a message from Thomas, who invited me to an evening video session in Berlin. I took him up on his offer. Within 15 hours, I had written and recorded this song, all sparked by his message and the lovely filming experience he set up.
I woke up that morning and sat on a balcony overlooking the capital city, sipping coffee and listening to the sounds of the neighbourhood waking up. It was several months into the pandemic and I was just beginning to realise the extent of my losses and how many more blows were likely yet to come. As always when I am struggling with any emotion, my guitar, a pen, and paper became the key to letting it all go.
I thought about my years in Berlin, the spirit of the once-divided city, and the times we were all living through as I picked up my guitar. My fingers quietly began searching for patterns that resonated with my mood. I began to hum as the sun started to press its way through the clouds, and my pen began to scratch words into my notebook. This is the song that came together there, during this pandemic, in the heart of a city that managed to put itself back together after being ripped apart.
That evening I sat on the banks of the Spree River and watched the Berlin Cathedral become a silhouette as the sun set. I saw people with masked faces meander by, their smiling eyes and muffled laughter showing a hundred different happy moments. The air was warm, the lights of the city rose to greet the darkening sky, and I met Thomas.
As we set up our equipment, we talked about the times, our lives, and our art; it was such an easy moment of connection - one that probably never would have happened if this virus hadn’t thrown our lives into disarray. A new friendship, a new song, a new beginning, all opportunities that popped to the surface when the world turned upside-down. And, thanks to Thomas’ talent, we were able to capture that moment and share it with you now.
Watching this reminds me of the thousands of small joys that I had this year, and that if a whole city can rebuild itself after being blown apart, I will be able to put all of my shattered plans back together when this is all over. They will be different, but they will be beautiful.
Here’s to 2020 - a year of hard lessons and small joys. And here’s to all the wonderful potential that 2021 holds. Happy New Year!

Let me know what you think the comments! #onewomanband #LivingAlbum
Most of my Living Album "Version 1" tracks are pretty simple - one voice, one guitar. This one came in one fell swoop and sounded pretty much like this in my head from the start, which is why it's more produced than the rest of the scratch tracks.
Just in case you'd like to sing along, here are the lyrics:
I wasn't looking for you I wasn't looking for anyone Just minding my own Satisfied all alone But I heard music drifting in Through my ears to raise my skin And when you spoke something broke within So I let my guard down And your sweet talk started to sting
I'd already learned to burn my bridges, that an island I should be But I was a fool for your siren song And let you make your way to me When the ocean is so vast What are the chances you would land On these battered shores Just to shatter me more?
I'm still so naive Though I tried not to believe The things that you said But I let myself be misled All the stories that you weaved Began to creep into my dreams I thought that you were what you seemed So I let my guard down And your sweet talk started to sting
I'd already learned to burn my bridges, that an island I should be But I was a fool for your siren song And let you make your way to me When the ocean is so vast What are the chances you would land On these battered shores Just to shatter me more?
You poured honey in my wounds Then passed me the wooden spoon I thought I would be immune after all this time But when your zeal began to fade And I realized I'd been played Oh how it burned, That fire I had to lay
Now I'll be sure to burn my bridges, an island I will be No more fool for your siren song Won't let you make your way to me When the ocean is so vast What were the chances you would land On these battered shores Just to shatter me more?

The most popular version of this song is probably American blues singer, guitarist and songwriter Bonnie Raitt's version from her album, "Luck of the Draw." #onewomanband
This song has always had a special place in my heart and I I was inspired to cover it now. Because even in these days of turmoil and pandemic, when my country is divided and burning, when people are crying "I can't breathe", and there is so much pain, loss, injustice and uncertainty, life continues to go on in the background - including the everyday heartbreaks. So the music must continue too.
As a side note: it has been brought to my attention that I look like I am wearing a funny hat in this video... that was not intended to be a fashion statement. It's just my headphones making me look a little silly - no hats far and wide in this video. But if you're in the mood for hats, check out THIS one: youtu.be/N_No84XKAJc 😂
Just in case you'd like to sing along with me, here are the lyrics: Turn down the lights Turn down the bed Turn down these voices inside my head Lay down with me Tell me no lies Just hold me close, don't patronize Don't patronize me 'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't You can't make your heart feel something it won't Here in the dark, in these final hours I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power But you won't, no you won't 'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't I'll close my eyes, then I won't see The love you don't feel when you're holding me Morning will come and I'll do what's right Just give me till then to give up this fight And I will give up this fight 'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't You can't make your heart feel something it won't Here in the dark, in these final hours I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power But you won't, no you won't 'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

Lyrics: You are an ocean And I would love to dive into your depth, Gaze up to watch the sunlight Refract against your thousand facets Let you paint a picture of brilliance and shadows Tell me a story that I don't believe Then make me believe you
But I will say nothing - I'll wait for this to pass Though I'm bursting - good things are like glass They break under the weight of every hope that I betray Then you'll turn away.
You are the night sky I'd love to lose myself in your expanse Mesmerized by the starlight Illuminating your profoundness Let you reveal grandeur in quiet dark moments Awakening dreams that I can't believe So make me believe you
But I will say nothing - I'll wait for this to pass Though I'm bursting - good things are like glass They break under the weight of every hope that I betray Then you'll turn away I've seen it. Whoever said that it's better to have loved and lost Must have never had to pay the cost of loss repeated. I'll just regard you through my telescope At a safe distance so that when you go I won't feel cheated.
No I will say nothing - I'll wait for this to pass Though I love you - good things are like glass They break under the weight of every "I love you" that I say But I can't turn away.

On a personal note: The words "I'll be ok" have been a mantra of mine for a while and they've been particularly fitting the past few months. So I thought now might be the perfect time to gather my many selves and perform the song "I'll Be Ok" by Nothing More as a one-woman band. We'll all be ok. 😉 #nothingmore #onewomanband You can also support my music by making a donation here: paypal.com/biz/fund?id=FU9A8KJDBL44J
I've also been listening to a lot of louder music lately, which I think might have to do with my general state of "what is going on here?" lately. Jonny Hawkins, Mark Vollelunga, and Daniel Oliver, and Ben Anderson from Nothing More are incredible musicians who I've been drinking in, so I couldn't resist doing my own take of this song. Just in case you'd like to sing along, here are the lyrics:
We live in the rain, a sea of change You can't keep anything you take The lovely face of lives we chase Is but dust for wind to take When all is gone, the only loss Is to not have loved at every cost When you can say, and I can say We loved with every step we take I'll be okay
How do you love when your heart is broken? How do you speak when you feel outspoken? I can forgive and be forgiven By learning to heal with a heart wide open
With open hearts, despite the stakes We take a chance on our mistakes A brand new day, we will embrace An open wound that heals with grace In all the fears that we will face In this time and in this place When you can say and I can say We loved with every step we take I'll be okay

This week we chose "Tip Toe Through The Tulips" by Tiny Tim because it's happy - and we all need reasons to be happy right now. So come and virtually tip toe through the tulips with us, #physicaldistancing style!
Update: I've received a lot of questions about the effect I'm using on my voice. It's not an effect - that's a vocal technique. It's the first time I ever tried it, and it will probably be the last because it is HARD to sing that way for a whole song! 🤣 But it was fun to try it once. Kudos to Tiny Tim for singing like that on the regular.
Stephanie & The Quarantines is my temporary lockdown band - the musicians change out every week! We each record our separate parts in our own "lockdown" studios and I put it all together. #alonetogether This week's Quarantines are: Axel Kowollik on bass: youtube.com/user/axelkowolliktv Frisbi Jones on ukulele: www.frisbijones.de (Ukulele lernen auf: www.punkulele.de) Saskia Götz on fiddle: youtube.com/user/nadaschauher1 and Alex Foxx on Shaker! #stayhome

The world seems like a very strange place nowadays. I don't leave the house very much since we're all under orders to shelter in place. So when I DO go out, it's bizarrely empty out there - it's eerie and strange. And EVERY time I leave the house, for some reason, the song "Mr. Sandman" always starts playing in my earbuds. And every single time, I think "Wow, this is great elevator music for the apocalypse". And THAT is why we decided to do this song today.
Just like many of my colleagues, my gigs have been cancelled and I've lost work for the next several months. That's rough, but it also has an up-side: We finally have time to collaborate! So today, I had a virtual jam session with Axel Kowollik from Germany and Bruce Davidson from England! We each recorded our own parts in our separate studios and I spliced us all together (it may have been the most hygienic recording session of all time). We made a parody of the Chordettes song "Mr. Sandman" from their 1954 release. #alonetogether #selfiecamjam #songsofcomfort

We each recorded our own parts in our separate studios and I spliced us all together (it may have been the most hygienic recording session of all time). We made a parody of the R.E.M. song "Shiny Happy People" from their 1991 album "Out of Time" featuring Kate Pierson of the B-52's. So welcome to the premiere of my new band: "Stephanie & the Quarantines"!
Fun fact: You can support us for FREE by streaming our music. We are all available on most streaming platforms. For example, you can stream me on Spotify: open.spotify.com/artist/1tHe1JjCR8c9CdqQileDx5 (Pro tip: if you stream me on repeat all night, I might even be able to afford to buy a roll of toilet paper to send to C.B.!)
And now it's time for the PSA part of this current-event-extravaganza: Why is social distancing important? Because our health systems are not equipped to handle the wave of people who will need ventilators if COVID-19 spreads too quickly. That is why we are called to stay at home whenever possible: to #flattenthecurve. And to protect the doctors, nurses, and hospital staff on the front line as they battle the virus.
Comedy Central's Daily Show has started making The Daily Social Distancing Show where Trevor Noah and the world's fakest news team tackle the biggest stories in news, politics and pop culture from home - including news about the novel coronavirus: youtu.be/7E_kAVh08bw

Oatmeal) | One-Woman BandStephanie Forryan2020-03-14 | This week's one-woman band song is a cover of Katy Perry's "Never Really Over." Why feature the oatmeal, you ask?

What goes on in the golden throats of our favorite singers? Is it possible to learn the mechanics of good vocals? Yes. Because vocal training isn't voodoo. It's simply a process of discovering the muscles involved and then training them to gain strength and coordination.
Today's video is the first in my mini-series on demystifying the voice. In it, I lay the foundation for upcoming videos by defining three of the most important aspects of singing: vocalization, resonance, and articulation.
