Carrying - Sally Anne Morgan [CD]

'Carrying' finds unity in life's burdens and joys, shared experience of our day-to-day lives. 'So much of what we accumulate and carry around with us burdens us, but we also can't or don't know how to let go', says Morgan. The album weaves a thread of common experience wrapping the listener in the intimacy of emotional response while simultaneously demonstrating the universal nature of many of these moments. Says Morgan, 'I use my own music, the creation, formation and shaping of songs and compositions, as a way to explore and articulate the deepest, often most hidden and spiritual, parts - of myself, but also since we are all connected at the deepest level, it reaches a common connected force of some kind'. A deeply affecting process for Morgan was contemplating the awesome power of the human body and spirit; the complicated and unpredictable wash of emotions that come with nurturing and nourishing another life, while also starting a new venture with her and her partner's microbrewery. The album's songs are snapshots of Morgan's own self-reflection as these changes came to define the upcoming chapter of her life.
