Our last full band show of 2017 was at the Crystal Corner in Madison, WI. It was a great night, and I got to share some of my newest songs.
Well, I finished graduate
school successfully. I had a lot of support from friends and family which
helped me push through the end. After graduate school I focused on gigging
around the midwest and have enjoyed sharing my music with people from all walks
of life.
One of my more recent songs,
Finding the Light (lyrics and video link below), is about my transition from a sole focus on chemistry and
spending much of my focus on music. I found myself trying to focus on chemistry since I had spent 11 years in school honing my lab skills and knowledge about this subject. However, I found that I wasn't being true to myself. Of course, being a musician has its own challenges, but it makes me feel alive.
My
favorite part of performing live is connecting with people. I believe music has an
amazing ability to help you cope with whatever is going on in your life, and if
at every show I can connect with at least one person, then it's been a really
successful gig. Although I do believe that I can make a difference in the world
with chemistry, this musical journey has shined a light far too bright for me
to ignore.
Be bold. Be curious. Be you!

Finding the Light
Written
by Kelsey Miles
My life's burning at both ends
Working
too many hours to try and forget
Eleven
years of my life wasted on my pride
Building
a castle for a dream that was never mine
But I
knew regret was too hard to swallow
So I kept my head down and lived a live I borrowed
One day I wrote to the world, I lost my faith in the sun
That very day, I turned a page, and now I'm on chapter 1
So I kept my head down and lived a live I borrowed
One day I wrote to the world, I lost my faith in the sun
That very day, I turned a page, and now I'm on chapter 1
Follow the light that destiny
shines on you
No comprise, when you’re searching for your truth
Comfort is easy to choose, but do you feel alive?
I'd give it up, I'd give it up every time
No comprise, when you’re searching for your truth
Comfort is easy to choose, but do you feel alive?
I'd give it up, I'd give it up every time
Well nobody warned me of the fight I would face
I'm still working too many hours and I have my dark days
One day I wrote to the world, I lost my faith in the sun
That very day, I turned a page, and now I'm on chapter 1
That very day, I turned a page, and now I'm on chapter 1
Follow the light that destiny
shines on you
No comprise, when you’re searching for your truth
Comfort is easy to choose, but do you feel alive?
I'd give it up, I'd give it up every time
No comprise, when you’re searching for your truth
Comfort is easy to choose, but do you feel alive?
I'd give it up, I'd give it up every time
I can
feel it coming
I can
feel it coming
I can
feel it coming
I can
feel it coming
Follow the light that destiny
shines on you
No comprise, when you’re searching for your truth
Comfort is easy to choose, but do you feel alive?
I'd give it up, I'd give it up every time
No comprise, when you’re searching for your truth
Comfort is easy to choose, but do you feel alive?
I'd give it up, I'd give it up every time
I'd give it up, I'd give it up for my new
life
I'd give it up, I'd give it up every time
