Friends, friends, friends...

It's release day! And can I tell you how amazing and incredible it feels?! Not only to be sharing new music with the world, but to be doing it WITH YOU. To feel the support of 1,113 humans standing behind me as I embark on this journey. It's mind-blowing and amazing and I couldn't be more grateful to have you on my team.

I read your comments from the First Listen post aloud yesterday on our drive down to San Diego and cried. (The good kind of cry. (Though you probably know by now I'm a supporter of all the cries.)) On Wednesday, this song was just a page from my diary, and then suddenly, it was in the homes of real live people who could hear it and feel it and make it their own. I know that it can take time to really know a song, to really love a song--some of my favorite songs took me the better part of a year to realize I loved--so to receive the kind of love and support you all displayed yesterday so early on in a release is such a  beautiful gift. Thank you.

I'll be sharing more about what the song and video mean to me, but I thought it'd be nice to give it some space first so you could explore your own meanings for them. If anyone feels like sharing, I would love to hear what it means to you in the comments below :)

Thank you. We did it. Holy smokes.

When Will I Learn Lyrics


Wanted to get away

Thought I could find a place

Where everything would just make sense


Wanted to see the light

Thought I could find the fight

In me to get me through my day


Oh, the ocean is breaking me apart

In darkness fighting just to swim

How can I hold my heart


When will I learn


I tried to have a voice

Knowing that it’s my choice

Whether I’ll ever break away


Maybe it’s just pretend

But I will try again

Until I’m happy in my space


Oh the mountain is crumbling from all sides

Frozen, I could try to run

Or I could close my eyes


When will I learn

Kina, As usual, I really enjoyed just listening to your voice when I got my first listen. I didn't feel the need to listen to your words exactly. when I watched the video I felt totally enthralled by the videography and your demeanor. I started to feel the song instead of hearing it. Then I read the words and I related to it in my own way. I feel like it speaks to my need to retreat into nature when things around me are rough. Nature can break me open and put me back together in ways I can't do on my own yet I often just find myself forcing productivity or "happiness" when all I need is to give myself some space to do healing in a less forced way. If I just give myself space I will be better in the other areas of my life but I fight that space because I feel I don't have time for it or I don't deserve it. So "when will I learn" that by giving myself space and giving nature the opportunity to help me is exactly what I need when my mind is telling me it is the last thing I should do.

Your songs make me travel back and forward in time. This one brought me down 10 or 20 years down the road from now on, me at 30 or 40 sitting down in front of a window and reflecting back on my past when I've become a wife and a mom. I feel like I am too young to even know or make sense of all the important things in life that I have learned... but maybe 10 or 20 years later, I will know! And at the same time I know that I will still be learning and transforming... This one is magical, I played it all day for the past few days now, I think I'll be listening to this one for a long, long time. 💕 Thank you kina!

Hi Kina! Music is and has always been a big part of my life. For me music can heal, support & inspire. This song has a peaceful feeling about it. It makes me think of those moments of inner reflection when you're trying to figure out life. Anyhow love the song. I really enjoy your music & can't wait to see you the next time you come to Phoenix. ;)

Kina thank you for your recent post on Facebook explaining the meaning behind this song for you. When Will I Learn speaks to me of the same struggle which I also face. It is good to know that I am not alone in that. I have few words right now but I wanted to say, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Hey Kina :-) Lovely songs you've made! I felt like I was relating back to my own situation and wondering how long it will be until I'm completely and truly myself, in all situations. Anyhow - thats just the thought that occurred as I listened - Love it.

I cannot even explain how this song makes me feel...I don't know how to. All I can say is that I am filled with tears right now. And I am stunned. This song is so so beautiful Kina. And so learned, and wise, and pure...and it feels like something of a homecoming - like I am returning to myself and something within me that is yet to be answered and cured. I can safely say this is one of the best songs you have created and I thank you for creating something that speaks to me, to us out there, so much. Love, love, love. <3

Wow Kina, this song is sooooo beautiful! Your lyrics and perfect video make me feel like I do when I go to the mountains, or anywhere I feel like I am home again. Thank you for creating such a masterpiece of that feeling of going home. So, hey, I am new to Patreon. I just created my account a few days ago and am still building my page. I have been browsing through your page for inspiration (and Peter Hollens and Pentatonix-I had no idea they were Patreon supported artists!). You are so divinely beautiful and adorable at the same time! Anyways, my one question for you right now, is... how did you add those cute animal pics to your rewards?
