" Music is a universal language communicating our thoughts, emotions and    reactions to life's ups and downs.

I truly feel there is so much to be discovered in a song that makes us cry."
Karina Long  

I write about loss because it helps me to express the hurtful emptiness one experiences when losing someone. Music is therapy for me. I was given a gift to write music and through my life experience I know what it is I want to write about. I've also found in this area of songwriting there is meaning and purpose in that it touches others and maybe even brings them a sense of comfort. The truth is.... sometimes we just need to cry and music allows us the freedom to that.

A wonderful person named Dr.Mountain once told me you never come to a point of accepting the death of a loved one. Never.
It seemed once she said this to me I was able to release that thought of never having to accept my brother's death. I learned through her that the missing piece in my heart will never be filled or replaced by anything or anyone. Now I live my life knowing that that loss forever changed my life. I don't try and fill the empty void, I don't feel ashamed to say that even though 15 years have passed I still miss him and hurt like I did on the day we said goodbye.

I listen intently to other people's stories of loss and it's without a doubt that the heartache and hurt is real. I transfer those thoughts and emotions into music to capture a common thread for people to identify with.

My name is Karina Long and I am singer/songwriter. I have accomplished many goals in the music industry but nothing has been more rewarding and fulfilling as my Healing Songs. I will continue on my journey of writing healing songs adding them to my website. I hope they bring you as a sense of peace and comfort during your difficult moments.

"The one thing I have learned is saying goodbye is by far the hardest thing we will ever do in our lives."
