the Glass Child - By this time tomorrow, “This Is How Ghosts Are Made” will have hit 1000 plays on my iTunes.. A. How special do you feel? This is the first time I’ve even got close to that amount of plays! And B. Do you reckon my play count will just reset itself after 999 and make me look like a liar? ;)

the Glass Child - Charlotte Eriksson by the Glass Child

*********************************

I'm an organized mess. I can't sleep at night. I believe in heaven, but I also believe that you're not let in there if you haven't lived to the fullest. I make mistakes and I mess up a lot. I'm having some trouble accepting myself and I'm afraid of not being good enough. I believe in the future, for I have seen yesterday, and I'm still alive . I laugh a lot, and I'm easily amused, but also easily bored, mostly with myself. I believe in ghosts, and I’m afraid of becoming one. I have trust issues and I remember every single word from conversations. A year ago I moved and left everything I had built for 19 years. I've spent a year in solitude, with my mind and my music, writing down the story of my life. I learned how to build my home in my music. When I sing, I'm not scared anymore. I want this to mean something. I believe in writing your own story, and that's what I'm doing here. I stopped making sense a long time ago. I'm mostly insecure, but when I really want something I can find a way to get it. I turn everything into a battle because I love the sound of winning. This is my way of saying, I did not come here to lose. You tell me no, and I’ll say “watch me”. I'm a glass child. I'm still creepy little me.

 " A year ago I moved to London to prove to myself that I can live my life on my own terms. Since then I've started my own record label "Broken Glass Records", produced and released my debut-EP in May, played at famous venues all over London, and in September I released a charity-single for a cancer-organizationg, to support young victims of the disease. The song “I Will Lead You Home" exploded and reaching #2 on the Swedish Itunes chart. In November I played my first show in the states, New York, and December 5th I'm releasing my 2nd EP "This Is How Ghosts Are Made". I believe in writing your own story, and that's what I'm doing here. I want to prove to people that you can become whoever you want to be, if you just want it bad enough. I'd like to show you that you can turn all those things you hate about yourself, into art.

I am determined to stand by my belief that music is bigger than who can afford expencive promo-acmpaigns and that you can reach out and connect with people even if you don't have a major company that pays for your success. But to be able to go on tour, record and release my first full-length, print CDs etc. I need some kind of support or funding. Together we can make this happen, and if you support me, with any amount - every little number matters! - you will get a personal handwritten letter sent to you or a youtubevideo / cover of your choice dedicated to you! So let's show the world what we can do! <3

I'd like you to do this journey with me: What we can do to show the world about our belief in music: - Spread, share, post and tell all your friends about my music. Share it on facebook, twitter, your blog etc. - Buy my music and help me afford to record a full-length. - Be who you are and dream bigger than everbody else.
