this #rage long beneath the surface of placid female countenance now pushes insistently against the benevolent scraps bestowed on good girl status quo NO longer NO, your joke isn't funny NO, I didn't #consent NO, my body isn't yours to touch, brand, or #legislate #prochoice
“Was this the face that launch'd a thousand ships, And burnt the topless towers of Ilium--…” - Christopher Marlowe (from Dr. Faustus) #HelenofTroy 's story has haunted me since I was 16 playing her in my high school's production of #Faust #ghostlines youtu.be/6ibBQJifHqo
"Seven tears for seven years I've cried to bring you to me". This is the #orkney #folklore for calling a #selkie man to you. An unaccompanied song from my new album #ghostlines #celticmusic #mythology #canadianmusic youtu.be/cOGU0gRFYiI
Time stood still in our breaking... The opening line to a song that treads the tundra of relational ends. The imagery comes from a fairy tale I read once but can no longer find. It has haunted me these long years. youtu.be/XDbZydS7icw #ghostlines #frozen
What are your #origins? How do we content with ours? How do we reconcile choice and responsibility? How do break the moulds created for us by our families, society, and religion? A #song of #legacy and #identity. youtu.be/j8NwEqoCBr8 #clay #prometheus #ghostlines #celtic
Are you in the mood for something a little bit different? Check out "Immortal" from my new album #ghostlines. It is my nod to the tragic #immortal characters that have haunted me. youtu.be/29sV9Jkx474 #louis #dracula #immortality #celticmusic #CanadianMusic

"A well-crafted musical masterpiece". From John Iverson's review of Ghostlines available on @ZoneMusicReport zonemusicreporter.com/record… #ghostlines #zonemusicreporter #sora #sorasinger
The mystery and tragedy of the story of #Paris and #Helen has haunted me for years. On my new album, I give voice to both of them, viewing their narrative as a desperate bid to be seen in love. Paris is featured on #Ghostlines. #Illiad #homer #troy youtu.be/-pY-OD2cplI
Release day! I am so excited to finally release my new album to the world, Ghostlines. An album of Celtic hauntings that examines themes of identity, power, and legacy. Have a listen on my website: soramusic.ca/ghostlines #ghostlines #newmusic
I live in the #urbanwilds, where dandelions nestle themselves within the wrinkles on concrete's aged face, and the wind still sings in the giants that shade my neighbourhood. I know this place, and it knows me. We are our own #forest, a different kind of #ecosystem. #satsplat

Feeling nostalgic this #Christmas and listening to music from my childhood. Christmas was #magical as a child. Every year we would trim the tree with wonder listening to #NanaMouskouri. What songs remind you of the holidays? youtu.be/1iEP4qXQszg

The moments I get to integrate all the pieces of me that I love are precious indeed. A self-reflection #poetry, #journalling & #photography project seen through the lens of #GreekMythology. This was deliciously decadent. andreahunt18.wixsite.com/edp… #medusa #sisyphus #herakles
Winter sunrise from my kitchen table. There is beauty in the most mundane moments and the most mundane places. A perfect restful morning. #sunrise #yycsunrise
As the work continues on my new album, Ghostlines, I have consolidated some of my living room demos that didn't make the album cut here: soramusic.ca/demos Subscribe to hear them all! #celticmusic #worldmusic #demos #livingroommusic
Working on a self-portrait project as part of my master's program; cracking open a reflective practice by examining many of the facets of my professional identity. #selfportrait #counsellingstudent

Change always comes with some degree of loss. COVID-19 has necessitated many changes individually and collectively. Grief isn't just for death, it can be for the loss of anything, including ideals, freedom, and a way of life. This podcast is beautiful: brenebrown.com/podcast/david…
I listen to the developing tracks for my #newrelease with so much gratitude. The approach is organic and authentic. The #demos were stark (have a listen to one: soundcloud.com/sorasinger/im…) and as #VanessaCardui fills them out with textures they come alive. #recording
