“It is rare to feel truly seen by a stranger. I met Sharon several years ago, before my band hadany recognition, before my music was anything to anyone. I was twenty two and had recentlymoved to New York City. I reached out to Sharon, expecting nothing. We had never met and it

was a cold email. I was —nervously and shyly —searching for any insight into the musicindustry's mysterious maze— hoping to ask her how it had been releasing music with her

previous record label.

She responded swi�ly and warmly, unhesitatingly inviting me to have coffee with her. I arrivedat her Brooklyn apartment, and she greeted me with a warm hug, a french press full of strong

coffee, and a spread of delicious food. She spoke to me as a sister, and as a friend. Sheencouraged me to trust my own instincts and intuition, and opened her door to me as a place I

could always turn to if needed. She asked for nothing in return. I remember leaving herapartment and making it half a block away before I spilled onto a stoop to catch my breath

and cry.

The grace of Sharon Van Etten is helping to heal the earth, heart by heart. I’ve o�en thought ofhow, it is not what one does in the public eye that matters most, but how one treats others when

no one is watching, when there is no tangible, seeable reward to be gained. When a personfunctions from the depths of their soul and gives from that place without condition. The music

that arises from such a heart is treasure.

Just a few years before our meeting, I had been sitting in the bright orange kitchen of my oldcollege house. I had been listening to epic, letting it spill into me, and through me, saturating thecircumstances of my teenage heart. Sharon’s words, melodies and rawness, became my words,melodies and rawness, and permeated the sea of moments I was living in, making them more

bearable. It altered my faculties for processing feeling. Her way of writing changed my way ofthinking. But I had yet to discover the deeper gi�, the gi� of Sharon as being.

It would seem that when a song is set free into the world, it becomes everyone’s, and anyone’s.‘Love More’ and ‘Peace Signs’ are anthems for anyone who needs. Like medicine in a cabinet for

whenever experience may be enriched by them. But Sharon, as an autonomous creature andvessel and spirit changed my life by simply showing me kindness, and giving me time

unquestioningly, without even knowing just how badly I needed it.

It is humans like this who breathe life into lifeless spaces, and help to make the world a betterplace. I am unendingly grateful for this human, and for the eternalized encapsulation of this

body of music.”
