"The Rising" by Myra Mae

Hey everyone,

Some songs you write in an afternoon. Others take months—sometimes years—of living to finally unlock.

You know me as a singer-songwriter, and perhaps you know my work behind the camera lens as a photographer, too. For me, those two worlds constantly collide. When I'm writing, I don't just hear melody; I see texture. I see landscapes. I see the exact moment light breaks through a shadow.

My new single, "The Rising," is the sound of that light breaking through.

It’s an anthem for resilience. It’s for anyone who has felt knocked down, counted out, or stuck in the dark. It's about that split second where you decide to dust yourself off, stand up taller, and own your next chapter.

It’s gritty, it’s honest, and it’s finally ready for you to hear.

Why "Pay What You Want"?

I believe music is connection, and it shouldn’t have barriers. I want this message of rising up to reach absolutely anyone who needs to hear it right now, regardless of their budget.

That’s why I’m releasing this exclusively here on Gumroad as a special Pay What You Want promotion.

This means you decide the value.

Whether you put a $0 in the box because times are tight right now (I get it, truly, and I want you to have the song), or you choose to pitch in the price of a coffee—or more—to directly support my next studio session and keep independent art alive.

There is no judgment. There is only gratitude that you are here, listening.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me. Turn it up loud.

With love and grit,

Myra

P.S. Because I can never fully separate the sound from the image, the high-quality download also comes with the official digital cover art featuring one of my original photographs that embodies the spirit of the track.
