My second single. My first release under my name: Paula Bast 📓 ...it’s funny, a good friend of mine pointed out that in my paintings I’m full of colors and sensuality and love and warmth! And several others later pointed out that my music tends to be sad, darker and melancholic.. and I noticed then, its kind of true. 💜I think it’s because my paintings are my dreams, and my memories, and my perceptions of people and situations- it’s how I feel my life, how I see life, how I dream life - whereas my songs tend to be an outlet of emotions and transitory thoughts, a space that empties out the heaviness and emotionality of everyday life...my songs are more like emotional snapshots of my mind in a specific point in time. 📸 my songs are a funny deal, because by the time a song is produced and comes out, that instance that it was born out from, happens to live very far away. And it’s fascinating! 💜 this song is about lingering heartbreak, and how heavy it is to painfully remember that one lover a longtime after they’re gone... ”my cry is the melody of that forgotten love that I remember with EVERY STUPID SONG” 🌊

This video was such a blast to make. I had no clue wtf I was doing, but fortunately I had the support of my amazing friend and director who came up with the idea of how to create something out of an almost inexistent budget basically! We recorded this with one camera, and did only 3 straight takes (or was it 2?) taking advantage of the sunrise sunlight in a beautiful beach in my CA home... the MORNING I was getting on a plane and moving to Miami for the first time ✈️ worked her magic, and honestly, when I saw this finished for the first time, I was so blown away. I think I just didn’t know what to expect... and hearing this song which was produced with my best friend .music, and recorded very slowly, instrument by instrument, month by month, as I collected money to pay each next musician felt sooooo gratifying and beautiful. There were so many hands, and help, and collaborators on the way to making this first lady 🎵 come to be 💜 for PAT WILLIAMS 💜🙏🏽thank

My first single, my first release, my first video...the one that started it all. Doodling on a little guitar on top of my dorm room bed I was singing these words as he walked in 👣 he turned to me and said “let me produce this song, let’s do it. Let’s record it.” Little did I know how this gesture, and how this moment would rock my world. 🎙 I didn’t think I could sing. I barely knew myself in all honesty, and if something terrified me in this universe, it was definitely singing. 🧏🏽‍♀️ I used to live by a lot of unspoken rules, and self judgment was at its highest when it came to anything outside my comfort zone. 🎛 My comfort zone, unusual and expanded... but still, full of its own limitations. 🧲 THIS SONG was the catalyst. My trust in and his impecable and artistic manipulations of sound enabled me to ALLOW myself to give in. To try. To feel. He is with sounds what I am with paint and a brush 🎨 and I adored, felt and admired him. And through the process of exploring this song, I started to understand where I was hiding. Where I felt free. What was noise, what was me. “Angel of Love” is about that feeling of being trapped and stuck, and needing someone, something bigger than you to come and bring you out. This song was that for me and more. 🕯fast-forward to 4 years ago, and this video was released. I’d mixed this song again, I’d gotten THIS song, a song of MINE produced by someone who’s musicality I adored, mastered for the first time by the amazing Doug Sax as a gift for my friend and mentor .al ...his kindness, his words, they inspired me! They made me feel worthy of more than I thought I could allow myself to do. I was allowing my colors to shine through outside of the definition of my profession. Of what I thought I “should” be doing. I allowed myself to be. Truly. To just be! I was art and I flowed with it! My favorite Shish*to gave us light 💡 literally and my best friend .music let me paint all of her...which made this video come to life. YouTube and Berklee became patrons of this piece. All self-painted. All my odd ideas in one video, in one space. 4 years later: What an adventure this is! This is where it begins

I’ll be painting live tonight with my aunt and mother during their live streaming concert from home. I haven’t performed a live painting in over two years! I’m very excited to be doing so today. This is the fifth painting of my series.

Durante esta época en especial me he dado cuenta de lo importante que es para mi el nutrir a otros y el sentirme nutrida de cuerpo, mente y alma- me llena mucho ver cómo nos cuidamos entre familia con todos mis seres queridos.
