You’re Too Great

Before I was performing my solo shows, I actually started by writing original songs. Somehow I was advised to take my time with it – because you had one shot at a first impression.
It’s one way of looking at it, and in a way, I’m glad that I get to choose now what I want my music to be about. As a result, this is the only song of mine that ever made it to the stage!

Today I get to revisit it… how cool to have this first video at my debut concert at Joe’s Pub.

Sometimes I wonder what makes you have to be creative. I wouldn’t want it any other way…


YOU’RE TOO GREAT
by Flo Ankah and Frank Simms, 2010

I never learned to be lonely
I didn’t know how to be
Without a man, holding me free
Longing for romance

TOO GREAT YOU’RE TOO GREAT
MY FRIEND, IT’S TRUE
WHAT IF YOU HAD JUST BEEN
A SIMPLE LOVER
IT’S ME, NOT YOU
MISS YOU, I DO
THE MEMORY OF US TOGETHER

Life is a game that’s forever
Together we hoped to be
After the storm, swe-et and warm
Something was missing

What has become of us anyway
Why don’t we see eye to eye?
Wishing we could have been so much more
And I found a way…

I put myself through the test
You couldn’t last in the nest
Got to be more, wanting to soar
I closed the door.

I love teaching #intuitiveanatomy which is the most robust #thetahealing class, and an opportunity to shift the application of the belief work to the body.

Three weeks of deep self-work and intuitive clarity.

Tomorrow is “Disease and Disorder”, the natural continuation to clear the path to empowerment and healing. 

With a very special group of healers. #grateful

Blessings to you on your side of the world 💋🤍🙏🏼
