To The Light

Anne Heaton's New Studio Album

Connection & Collaboration. Pema Chodron refers to a Hopi Prophecy that talks about how we no longer live in the time of the lone wolf. Instead, it advises that we look and see who is around us. To me, this means that it's more important than ever to create and live collaboratively. I used to write songs alone often, but now I have a deep desire to create WITH other people almost exclusively 🙂 and my new record reflects this.

What The Streets of Rome (& Espresso) Taught Me About Structure

By anne | February 3, 2016 | 13 Comments

(Lincoln logs courtesy of my daughter Helen, age 2)  My first husband was an architect. We talked endlessly about public spaces that were created with people in mind – with the idea that people would enjoy themselves in them – from the curving stone paths of Rome (& piazzas where folks sip espresso while admiring […]

A Story About Purple Hair & Pumpkins

By anne | January 27, 2016 | 0 Comments

When I was little, I’d draw pictures of people with different colored hair (purple, blue, green) and I remember the specific moment it occurred to me that it wasn’t “correct” to draw them this way because people don’t actually have purple hair (well, in those days they didn’t ;)). I felt sad and it was […]

My Grandpa Moose & Who Do You Think You Are?

By anne | November 13, 2015 | 18 Comments

Last Monday, on All Souls Day, I was thinking about my grandpa (“Moose” we called him) and how he always wanted to write songs. He had no extensive musical training though he loved a great melody and played a decent clarinet in the Army during WWII. He once told me that he went to New […]

When I Say Yes To Myself 🙂

By anne | October 16, 2015 | 15 Comments

Last June, I took a big financial leap and hired a coach to help me with a project. I didn’t tell anyone except my husband because I thought people would think I was crazy to spend so much. It was a huge investment (2-3x the cost of a really nice family vacation -wow!) but I […]

When we don’t have our “go-to” tools, what do we awaken?

By anne | September 22, 2015 | 17 Comments

The other day, I left my house to drive to my first eye exam in many years. I typed the ophthalmologist’s office address into my phone GPS and 20 minute later, Google Maps informed me I’d “reached my destination,” although, in fact, I had not because I was facing an empty grass field 🙂 I […]

Unconditional Love & Your Inner Kid

By anne | July 29, 2015 | 8 Comments

Last week, I was teaching songwriting to high school age songwriters at Interlochen Camp for the Arts and I was elated to watch them writing each day, sometimes working on up to three songs in a day. I promised myself that in this inspired environment, I would not only teach, but also set aside some […]

Taking My (Your) Own Advice

By anne | July 4, 2015 | 0 Comments

Today I was having a little trouble writing something and I started to feel frustrated. I had done some yoga when I woke up, look but bypassed my morning walk even though I craved one because I told myself there wasn’t enough time. That’s where I first got off my path. In my heart of […]

Love & Change

By anne | May 27, 2015 | 0 Comments

There is something about the month of May, when buds open into flowers & ice turns to water flowing speedily down the mountains that reminds me how good it can feel to change. A woman recently shared with me that for much of her life she considered herself “the uninteresting one” in her family. She […]
