Loralee, a voice that found its start in Michigan, began her musical journey during her college years. Immersed in a musical family and initially drawn to the flute, she eventually discovered her true passion in songwriting. It was in 2011 that the allure of folk music inspired her to pick up a guitar, giving birth to her first song, “Little Dynamite,” and igniting a desire to create more.
With her early work, Loralee began to share her music. Her 2015 EP, “If You Were a Song,” was a collection of unique and imaginative pieces. Following its release, she engaged with the local music scene, performing at open mics and venues. In 2016, Loralee discovered a new passion in teaching music at a local school.
After a break, Loralee returns with a new sound. Her music, reminiscent of intimate bedroom sessions, features a calm voice and thoughtful lyrics. These songs tell stories of hope, sadness, and the strength found in overcoming difficulties.
Loralee’s song “Feeling Ok” is gentle. It makes you feel warm inside. It is like thinking quietly about yourself on a slow day. The song does not try to get your attention loudly. Instead, it pulls you in softly. It feels like talking to a friend who you trust.
The music in the song is like indie-folk. It has soft guitar sounds. This is the main part of the song. The music is simple, but it has a purpose. Every note and strum is there for a reason. This makes space for the feelings in the song. There is not too much going on. Just a soft bass sound and light drums. These add to the song without making it too loud. The music is like the song’s message. It is simple, honest, and very human.
Feeling Ok
Loralee’s voice is the most important part of the song. It has a quiet strength. It is not too dramatic or fake. It feels very real. She sings like she is telling you a secret. This makes every word feel personal. When there are harmonies, they sound like gentle echoes. They make the song feel even more comforting. Her voice does not have to do fancy things. Its power comes from how open and honest it is.
The words in “Feeling Ok” talk about something that many of us know. But we do not often say it out loud. Life is not always about being happy. It is about finding a balance when things are hard. It is about learning to accept the days when things do not feel right. It is also about knowing that growing is not always easy. The song does not try to tell you to be positive all the time. It does not give you quick solutions. Instead, it says that it is okay to struggle. It talks about those times when we doubt ourselves. It talks about the weight of not knowing what will happen. And it gently reminds us that it is okay to go at our own pace.
The words are beautiful because they are subtle. They do not shout their message. They whisper it. They focus on small, everyday realizations. Like learning to breathe when you are uncomfortable. Or finding comfort in just being, instead of always trying to achieve something. It is a song for anyone who has ever felt lost. It helps you realize that being lost is just part of the journey.
The world often feels rushed and demanding. “Feeling Ok” is a pause that we really need. Society tells us to always be productive. Always be happy. Always be moving forward. But this song challenges that idea. It reminds us that healing is not about reaching some perfect state. It is about accepting where we are. Even if that place is messy or uncertain.
The song’s true strength is its quiet hopefulness. It does not promise that everything will be perfect. But it assures us that we can still find peace even when things are not perfect. This is a message that many people need to hear. Especially when it feels like there is so much pressure to “have it all together.”
“Feeling Ok” is not a big, loud song. It is not a dramatic song. It is a song for the moments in between. The quiet mornings. The late-night thoughts. The deep breaths we take when no one is watching. It is like a musical hug. It reminds us that it is okay to just be. Even when feeling okay is something we are still working on.
Loralee has made something very special here. It is a song that does not just entertain us. It understands us. And in a world that often feels too loud, sometimes the softest songs speak the loudest.
