A few months ago we got to know Courtney Cole when she shared her songwriting process with us.
The New Orleans native (now based in California) just dropped her new single “Light”. When I spoke to her about the song, she mentioned that she had been experimenting with using healing frequencies in her music.
The song was inspired by nature and written while sitting next to the ocean. It actually started out as a poem and evolved into a full song. It was recorded in 528hz, which is an ancient healing frequency.
For a long time I was personally skeptical of things like healing frequencies. I would see them recommended on YouTube, things like “Relief from Anxiety” or “Full Body Healing”. Honestly, I was really quick to dismiss the benefits; until I tried it. One day, I had particularly bad anxiety so I put one of the videos on thinking “the worst that happens is it does nothing”. Really quickly, I noticed a difference in my mood and my overall level of peace. To this day, I use frequencies to help with anxiety fairly often.
Whether or not you believe that sound healing works, you certainly can’t deny that “Light” is a beautiful song. The nature inspiration comes through in a big way through the background noises/harmonies.
There’s something undeniably soothing about the track. When I first heard it, it reminded me of an album I loved back in 2011, Lights’ Siberia. The more I listened, the swelling vocals and huge percussion brought to mind one of my very favorite artists, Ellie Goulding.
When I listen to Courtney’s music it gives me a feeling similar to what Ellie achieves; utter peace. Every piece of the project works together, nothing overpowering the other.
I encourage you, if you are skeptical about sound healing like I initially was, give it a try. Next time you feel stressed or angry, listen to this song. Look up YouTube videos of 528hz and just see if it does anything for you. I think you’ll be surprised what you’ll find.
