Not All The Leaves Are Falling

Kathryn Overall | Debut Album

For three happy years, I picked away at this album of songs which span seven years of my life and story. It came out in 2016.

These songs explore the liminal space between loss and hope. The collection is my melodic ode to difficult endings and strained new beginnings, to getting lost and being found, to unlocked traumas and healing journeys, to deep, quiet and still places, to feet-finding, hope-discovering, friend-making, community-building, to awakening,  to spiritual graces, to reinvention and liminal spaces – and through it all, to the Mystery I sometimes call God,  source of eternal love, my compass and my horizon, my deep silence and my brave expression.

I hope you discover space for your own stories inside my words and find your own sense of hope within my melodies.
