Becca LeighBecca Leigh is a songwriter based in Charleston, South Carolina. Her songs emerge from a folk tradition, focusing on melody, imagery, and emotion.Five Phases, released 04 February 20221. Earth (Late Summer)2. Metal (Autumn)3. Water (Winter)4. Wood (Spring)5. Fire (Summer) + Earth [Reprise]In the system of Chinese Medicine, the year is divided into five seasons, five transformations, or five phases - as I call them here. In Chinese they are called the wǔxíng 五行. Each phase is associated with physical and emotional attributes, movements of the cycle of life and death, even changes within a single day. The Wood phase equates to birth, sunrise, and new beginnings, while the Water phase equates to death, hibernation, and preparing for the new that is to come in the next cycle.In these songs (which are really one song divided into five parts), I attempted to convey the emotional quality of each season, while keeping in mind the changes in nature itself. This interpretation was based on my experience and observation of one year of my life. So it's personal, but also (hopefully) somewhat universal. If any nerds out there want to go deeper with me about this, feel free to reach out. I love and welcome it!
