Words. They have the power to demoralize or energize, humiliate or elevate, weaken or strengthen. Every day, each one of us, all beautifully made and wholly diverse awaken and make a choice for ourselves about how we'll withstand inevitable suffering and rise to attain inner peace and healing.
Songwriter and musician Myles Travitz, who has released music through labels such as Atlantic Records and Ultra Music, wrote the lyrics and music to My Round. He then shared his words with members of his community. With the production support of Contrast Creative, where Travitz is employed as an editor and audio technician, 19 humans inspired by the song came forward and shared their deeply personal stories of hardship along with their fervent desire to triumph over prejudice, illness, racism, sexism, abandonment and so much more. Using the power of words through song, Myles Travitz connects seemingly different people by unifying our human struggles, and highlighting resilience throughout life.
