Emet: Songs from My First Years of Motherhood

Jen Myzel

While I was birthing my son Emet, all I could do was sing. I knew from very early on that music was a shared language of our souls. Since that day, a collection of songs have come through, inspired by the journey of early motherhood--silly, soulful, sleep-deprived, and everything in between. I recorded them over the last two years and they are now
While I was birthing my son Emet, all I could do was sing. I knew from very early on that music was a shared language of our souls. Since that day, a collection of songs have come through, inspired by the journey of early motherhood--silly, soulful, sleep-deprived, and everything in between. I recorded them over the last two years and they are now ready to be shared with you.

My intention when creating this album was to capture the memories and love of these early years while also supporting other young parents to remember the joy even when they are in the most grueling and painful moments of becoming new parents in our modern world. I hope these songs will resonate with everyone, as a balm of peace and remembrance of the preciousness of life.

Birds of the Night

Jen Myzel

We will fly through the dawn because we are MOVING ON. And because that is what we, the Birds of the Night, are here to do. We are here to say NO MORE destruction to this precious planet and all her beings. We are here to sing a story of fierce hope, healing and reconciliation.

These songs range from ritualistic prayer songs to lyrical folk-pop
We will fly through the dawn because we are MOVING ON. And because that is what we, the Birds of the Night, are here to do. We are here to say NO MORE destruction to this precious planet and all her beings. We are here to sing a story of fierce hope, healing and reconciliation.

These songs range from ritualistic prayer songs to lyrical folk-pop to hip-hop dance grooves. They weave stories on critical topics including race, climate, hope, hopelessness, and belonging.

"While there are many artists out there making a lot of noise without much to say, you’ll be able to find Jen Myzel’s distinctive sound on the other side of the coin. The Californian artist is perceptibly gifted when it comes to orchestrating uplifting and empowering soundscapes. Not by utilizing abrasively ‘happy’ tones, but meditatively easing you into a better mind space with compellingly conscious lyrical wisdom."- Review by AnR Factory

Thank you for listening and I pray that this music is medicine to your heart and soul in these unprecedented times.

Silence Speak

Jen Myzel

Silence Speak takes us on a musical journey around the spiral of the Work that Reconnects, a series of practices to help us stay awake to our world during these uncertain times. The songs follow from Gratitude (1-3) to Honoring our Pain for the World (4-6) to Seeing with New Eyes (7-9), to Going Forth (10-13). A great Thank You to my teacher,
Silence Speak takes us on a musical journey around the spiral of the Work that Reconnects, a series of practices to help us stay awake to our world during these uncertain times. The songs follow from Gratitude (1-3) to Honoring our Pain for the World (4-6) to Seeing with New Eyes (7-9), to Going Forth (10-13). A great Thank You to my teacher, Joanna Macy, the root mother of the Spiral, who has dedicated her life to awakening the boddhisatva within us all.

May I live to serve life.
