The story of EDDY Last year I landed in the hospital for a few days due to digestive issues, that lead to abdominal surgery. As I was recovering from surgery one afternoon, I experienced amazing lightning bolt type pain shooting from my largest incision site. It was so bad (like a level 8 out of 10) that it order to get through it I decided to give the pain a name. So I called him EDDY. I have to tell you, EDDY hurt like a bitch. As I continued to recover from surgery, I had plenty of time to think about things - health, life, relationships, pain, and EDDY. I realized that the pain was actually an essential part of my healing process, and should not be feared, but accepted, if not exactly welcomed. That got me thinking a little more, about a lot of things that were on my mind last year - bullies, haters, the way the world tries to bring you down the more you try to get ahead. It was then that I decided to say F* you to EDDY. And to everyone who has bullied me throughout my lifetime. And to everyone who tried to tell me I can't do what I'm doing. That I'll never amount to anything. That I'll always be nothing but weak, a nerd, a loser, a failure. I also realized I'm my own harshest critic, so I decided to say F* you to my own negative self talk. Then, I decided to pour all of that into a track, and that track is called EDDY. Heather Rachael did the vocals, this is the first track I've released with my own lyrics, music, and production. I hope you'll listen and share, and please let me know if it resonates with you on any level. Thanks for your support! Jay 🙂 https://open.spotify.com/album/4bPAG9dYVTLtdrMpN2pUoZ
