Chase von Interviews the Amazing Alice Marie by Chase Von (Mentor) Posted 16 hours, 9 minutes ago Chase Von’s Interview on behalf of the Student Operated Press with… Alice Marie: Lovely and Incredibly Gifted Singer/Pianist of Equilibrium and Angels Near Chase von: Alice, thank you so much for doing this interview. You are a very busy Lady.

So, on behalf of myself and the Student Operated Press, I want to thank you for finding the time. I almost don’t know where to start with you because you have done so many amazing things. You’re a Life Coach, a former English teacher, a musician, a very gifted singer; you write all your own lyrics, and you’re also a full time mother with a loving family. But also, you are a survivor.

I don’t really want to start out with a tough one but, your earlier years are subjects you openly address in your music. You have written songs that are on your CD’s that clearly and painfully cover some of the things you have had to face and overcome. Many have also compared you and your music to Tori Amos and some of her earlier music. You deal with the subject of depression, as well as molestation in the song, When I was Seven.

How did that song help you with your survival and also with your ability to be the loving mother you are to your own child today? Alice Marie: I don’t think I’d be a mother if I hadn’t written that song. It was a story I tried telling in prose form for years, but something about putting it to music rearranged my DNA and opened up a doorway to healing.
