There is no doubt that Dune Moss’ single, “Shake the Ground,” has the capacity to reverberate and captivate long after its initial release. Aside from this, it also boasts of a production quality that is professional while at the same time being entertaining instrumental. Her singing ability made her have a lot of fans because of how catchy her voice was and how well she performed on this track. In her songwriting talent, she creates beautiful verses with original words in them that fuse well with captivating vocal melodies.
It carefully strikes a balance between warmness and hardiness. It commences with Dune’s lovely voice blending with the minimalist underpinning synth-based sounds before progressing to the climax marked by “I will shake the ground!” This statement serves as a rallying call as well as an assertion for resilience, which relates to her own personal struggle against depression. At a difficult time in her life, Dune indicates writing this song helped her deal with her emotions better; she uses the image of seed bursting through rock to symbolize self-discovery and hope.
“Shake the Ground” is more than just a musical piece; it is a narrative of personal triumph, making it a profound listen that resonates with the struggles and victories inherent in human experience.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Like most kids, when I was young I loved faeries! I made them homes and wrote letters to them. I felt deeply connected to music and being barefoot and feeling free in nature. I mainly listened to music that made me feel like I was the main character in my own movie. I grew out of the “faery phase” in my teenage years, however around the age of 20 I experienced drastic life changes such as leaving my childhood religion which helped to rekindle my connection to my inner Fae.
Leaving my childhood religion took away my community and made me feel isolated. I didn’t know how to make friends outside of church. I decided to share my music by playing live; with every show I played, I made deep connections with people and started to find a new community. I had no idea there were other Faeries until someone approached me after a show. I was certain no one was listening and the first thing they said was “hello I’m a faery too, and I also walk barefoot everywhere!”
The word “Faedom” was introduced to me by that same person who is now one of my closest friends. Over time I started to realize how vital my community is to me. To me, Faedom is a community of mystic creatures who strive to create sovereignty and balance within themselves, their clan, and the earth. I believe Faedom is for everyone. It’s a community for you to feel safe in expressing your fullest self. You can be a faery, a gremlin, an elf, a nymph, a human, or just simply YOU.
My goal with ‘Faedom’ is for people to evaluate their community and decide if they feel supported by the people they are surrounded by. I learned that Faedom is not only about letting people in, but also about letting people go. As I did in the excitement of finding my new community as I made the difficult decision of saying goodbye to my marriage of 4 years.
I learned Faedom starts with me. If I am not the center of my life, then Faedom cannot exist. I believe this is true for every person. Faedom starts with you, and THEN your community. We’re nothing without ourselves, we’re nothing without each other. The first song on my album titled “Faedom” is my calling song to all those who feel they connect to my message and music and want to step into the fae realm. Each song goes through my highest highs and my lowest lows because to me THAT is what creates Faedom, the mix and chaos of all our emotions and being allowed to thrive together in love and acceptance.
The album art is a reminder that the individual is the focus and then comes our community dancing alongside us. Just as the mother feeds herself before her child, I believe when we take care of ourselves we in return show our community even more love than we ever could on an empty spirit.
