Kate Ellis – The Story You’ve Been Told (Spotify)
“its touching and delicate as feathers from the sweetest of birds. The lyrics are deep and have a natural flow to them. A track for ones who seek to be more and to make it through. Its energy is divine, and the artist involved in the instrumental execution are very skilled all around. ”

The Story You've Been Told is the closing track from Kate Ellis' sophomore album ‘Spirals’ produced by John Reynolds (Sinéad O’Connor, Indigo Girls). The song encapsulates the album’s theme of how we go around in circles inside our heads getting lost in the maze of obstacles and pain we encounter in life – but it’s about getting out of these spirals of thought to a more peaceful place.
In Kate's words about this song: "We carry around stories about who we are, where we come from, what happened to us, and what it means. But it creates a false system of beliefs. The Story You’ve Been Told is about finding your way out of these thoughts that can possess you and memories and feelings that can trap you by realizing that the stories aren't true and can be discarded. Once we stop seeing our lives through a distorted prism, we are fine."
