MY HEART IS LISTENING

by Sarah Aili & Matthew Szlachetka

If we knew the steps of our path before we took them, the the payoff of our arrival wouldn't be as sweet, wouldn't you agree? Looking back from where you're standing now, can you see how all the dots connect?

When you meet someone who makes you want to set your roots down, it's worth giving your heart a listen. It's also a wonderful reason to write a song. That's precisely what happened right around two years ago, December 6th to be exact! I couldn't love Nashville more and the life that it's revealed to me that I get to call my own. Matthew Szlachetka and I wrote this song and it's one of our favorites to play when we are out on the road touring as a duo act or as two individual acts.

DIY GOODIES

I like this song so much that not only did I put it on my album, I also printed it on T-Shirts and co-created a morse code bracelet with my Nashville artist friend, Trish, who makes them by hand! You can pick these up at a show or order them from the STORE here on my website.

Sarah Aili

Nashville Artist and Songwriter, Sarah Aili, has built a career upon her ability to multitask, bridging the gap between different disciplines — especially the worlds of music and theater — along the way. She's a creator of scripts, stories, songs and space through movement. She embraces the full spread of her influences with her newest EP, Say Your Goodbyes Now, shining a light not only upon her mix of Americana, Jazz, and Classic Pop music, but also the ways in which her artistic interests intersect.

Aili's newest recording is the latest chapter in her ongoing artistic story. It's a story that continues to unfold with each new project including a current role in the World Premier of Ahrens & Flaherty’s new musical, KNOXVILLE, directed by Frank Galati at Asolo Repertory Theatre, an upcoming music & storytelling project with Radney Foster, a recent Single Release (Boundary) and another single set to be released in the Fall of this year. For Aili, these projects represent different sides of the same artist — an artist who's happy to embrace all of her creative interests under the same umbrella.
