FAVOURITE GIRL – “NOT GOING BACK”
A SPILL EXCLUSIVE MUSIC PREMIERE
The inspiration for Favourite Girl as a song and as a band is that everyone deserves to be somebody’s favourite (British spelling), even if it’s just your own!
Don’t let anyone tell you that you have nothing to say. Don’t practice music in your basement and wait until it’s perfect to get out there and share it. Don’t let anyone tell you that you are too old or not pretty enough, or any of the awful messages we receive online and in society. Just do it! I have a pin on my ukulele strap that says ‘Lord grant me the confidence of a mediocre white man” and I try to embody that every time I write and play. I have held myself back and apologized for my own ambition for too long. Now I want to celebrate that. It has inspired me to write songs that make me feel better about myself and hopefully translate that to the audience. I think there is power in a woman in her 50’s having the most fun of her life and inviting others along for the party!!
Telling stories, expressing myself, and learning how to be better at playing and writing music. I also felt a fire in my belly to play louder and really throw myself into a rock band! So I started one. It’s proudly feminist and bold. My songwriting still, but turned up to 11. I have surrounded myself with talented female players (Alongside the ever wonderful Paul Odegaard) and we are joined by a trio of incredible musicians. Allie, Daisy and Alyse have all grown up involved in She Rock, a femme rock camp leading the way and teaching the new generation of badass musicians. Together we are Not Going Back!.
ARTIST QUOTE
“Not Going Back” was written about our collective experiences and need for community in 2020. Inspired by the rise in kindness and consciousness coming out of the pandemic and the social justice uprisings of 2020. That momentary pause and acknowledgment that we are all connected and need to help each other was politicized, cut short, and revealed a divisiveness that we are all still reeling from. This song is a refusal to normalize individualism and selfishness. It has since grown to become a rallying cry against a hostile regime.”
