Chapter In A Book Called Validation

Welcome To Ken Wells Music

ACERCA DE

Hola & ! Gracias por visitar mi página ¡ Mi nombre es Ken Wells y soy un compositor estadounidense de folk, country y pop que creció en la pequeña isla de Cabbage Key, ubicada frente a la costa del suroeste de Florida. Mis aficiones incluyen todo lo relacionado con el agua, los deportes y la música. Mi pasión es escribir canciones íntimas e introspectivas que ilustren las complejidades de la vida, las relaciones y la autoestima.

Mi visión como artista es renacer, en una antigua pasión por la música, para ilustrar en una sinopsis vagamente escrita, a menudo no cronológica, de la verdadera historia de mi vida que data desde septiembre de 2023 hasta mi presente actual y más feliz. retratar y visualizar, a través de canciones y videos, como capítulos de un libro que llamo Validación, una relación perdida, que ocurrió en mis momentos más oscuros mientras luchaba contra grandes problemas de salud y tenía que sobrevivir y superar puntos intermedios...,( un período de tiempo tumultuoso donde uno está atrapado entre el pasado y el futuro), para recuperar mi autoestima y mi identidad mientras intentaba encontrar significado nuevamente a través de los desafíos y perplejidades de los impactos psicológicos de las redes sociales.

Ken Wells California – Music Video

California – Music Video Ken Wells 03:29 Hello, and thank you for watching the video for “California,” the tenth song in a series I think of as musical chapters in a book. This project chronicles the emotional challenges I have faced with two important relationships since my cancer diagnosis and treatment. “California” is about my need to hit the reset button after those relationships broke apart. Their memories cling to me like a ghost, and I’m trying to break away from that haunted feeling. In the song, I head west, to the California coastline, hoping the sunshine and a fresh scene will help me leave those memories in the past. I’m looking for a chance to clear my mind and reset my heart as I move forward and leave behind the sorrow of what’s gone. Ironically, I had planned to shoot the video in Malibu and Santa Monica, but because of two hurricanes where I live along the Gulf coast of Florida, Helene and Milton, I couldn’t leave. So I ended up filming it in Florida. Even though the song is called “California,” the video had its own twist of fate, which I think kind of mirrors the unpredictability of life and love. This musical storytelling underscores the mission of “Ken Wells The War on Cancer Fund,” which is to help others navigate their personal cancer journeys through emotional support. In my case, that comes through supporting the efforts of Sam’s Fans, a nonprofit organization that provides music therapy to children and young adults hospitalized with cancer.

My Heart Will Never Be The Same – Music Video

My Heart Will Never Be The Same – Music Video Ken Wells 03:18 Hello, and thank you for watching the video for “My Heart Will Never Be The Same,” the ninth song in a series I think of as musical chapters in a book. This project chronicles the emotional challenges I have faced with two important relationships since my cancer diagnosis and treatment. This song is about the emotional struggle of going through treatment and the fallout of that treatment while being caught in a cycle with two relationships that keep pulling me in different directions. It feels like I’m constantly spinning, stuck on this emotional merry-go-round where things are never stable—around and around, up and down. In the song, I’ve realized that I just can’t keep doing this to myself. My heart can’t take it anymore, and I know it’ll never be the same if I don’t find a way out. I ask them to stop saying things or doing things their actions prove they obviously don’t mean, and that’s been the hardest part. It’s confusing, painful, and leaves me feeling stuck. I’m not pretending it’s easy to walk away from people you care about—there’s still a part of me that wants to hold on. But I also know that if I keep going this way, it will only bring more heartache. This musical storytelling underscores the mission of “Ken Wells The War on Cancer Fund,” which is to help others navigate their personal cancer journeys through emotional support. In my case, that comes through supporting the efforts of Sam’s Fans, a nonprofit organization that provides music therapy to children and young adults hospitalized with cancer.

I Do – Music Video Ken Wells 03:50 Hello, and thank you for watching the video for “I Do,” the eighth song in a series I think of as musical chapters in a book. This project chronicles the emotional challenges I have faced with two important relationships since my cancer diagnosis and treatment. “I Do” reflects my daydream about “what might have been” if one of my relationships had reached the point where I could propose and ultimately hear the words “I do”. Realizing this is merely a melancholy muse, I remain grateful for the tough times they helped me through during and after my diagnosis. I wish them the best as they move on with their lives, and I hope the same for myself. This reflects my belief that hope is the only way forward.

Unconditional Love – Music Video

Unconditional Love – Music Video Ken Wells 03:07 Hello, and thank you for watching the video for “Unconditional Love,” the seventh song in a series I think of as musical chapters in a book. The first six songs – “Home,” “The Drugs Don’t Work,” “Standby,” “The War,” “Superman” and “No Closure” – depict the emotional challenges I have faced since my cancer diagnosis. Some have been directly related to my cancer battle. Others are closely tied to the everyday ups and downs of life, but which take on an even greater significance when intertwined with such a devastating medical diagnosis. This musical storytelling underscores the mission of “Ken Wells The War on Cancer Fund,” (kenwellsthewaroncancer.com) which is to help others navigate their personal cancer journeys through emotional support and outlets. For me, that’s music. For others, it may be something else personally meaningful to them. “Unconditional Love” picks up where “No Closure” left off. “No Closure” was about dealing with a succession of relationships that ended. The first was a loving friend that left just when I needed her most. The second was a new love interest who supported me through some of the toughest times during treatment and the physical complications it produced, but ultimately walked away due to those complications. The song reflects my difficulties coming to terms with the fact that both people I cared about seem to have had an easier time than I’ve had in moving on from our relationship. I see all their Instagram followers and the likes for their pictures pouring in, and it’s as if they have all these friends cheering them on and making it easy to turn the page in their lives, while I continue to struggle. Social media can make our lives seem perfect and effortless, but it can also amplify loneliness. Technology is supposed to connect us, but for me in this moment, it feels like it’s just highlighting how far apart we really are. The song is my way of trying to understand these feelings, even though I’m still not sure I completely do. It’s raw and honest, but I’m still figuring it out.

No Closure – Music Video

No Closure – Music Video Ken Wells 02:53 Hello, and thank you for watching the video for “No Closure,” the sixth song in a series I think of as musical chapters in a book. The first five songs – “Home,” “The Drugs Don’t Work,” “Standby,” “The War” and “Superman” – depict the flow of life’s everyday emotional challenges, which can become amplified to a breaking point by a devastating medical diagnosis such as cancer and its accompanying increase in stress, uncertainty and depression. This musical storytelling accentuates the mission of “Ken Wells The War on Cancer Fund,” (kenwellsthewaroncancer.com) which is to help others navigate their personal cancer journeys through financial assistance for medical treatment and mental well-being, from counseling to emotional outlets most meaningful to them. “No Closure” picks up where the fifth song, “Superman,” ended. “Superman” served as a metaphor for feeling overwhelmed by love that is not reciprocated by the person you’re in love with – someone who has the power to both save and subdue you. The music video for “Superman” depicted Lois Lane as kryptonite, which is killing the song’s main character, and he reaches out to her for help. Paradoxically, Lois and kryptonite represent opposite sides of the same coin: the source of his strength (his feelings for her), and the source of his weakness (her disregarding those feelings). At the end of the “Superman” video, Lois has left, but the possibility of her return lingers when car lights rake the main character’s windows, and he hopes she has come back. In “No Closure” the story’s protagonist’s life is shattered when he realizes his relationship with his Lois Lane is over, and her power as his kryptonite has left him devastated. Feelings of betrayal are a powerful human force, particularly in the aftermath of a life-threatening cancer diagnosis – turbulent times that leave you at your most emotionally vulnerable. Superman is down. But is he out?

Ken Wells - Superman Music Video

Superman Music Video Home Ken Wells 02:46 Hello, and thank you for watching the video for “Superman,” the fifth song in a series I think of as musical chapters in a book. The first three songs – “Home,” “The Drugs Don’t Work,” and “Standby” – depict a string of life’s everyday emotional challenges, which can become amplified to a breaking point by a devastating medical diagnosis such as cancer and its accompanying increase in stress, uncertainty and depression. The initial trio of songs led up to “The War,” a song that reflected the underlying thread that ties the storyline together by depicting how I was fighting to overcome cancer. The song’s title mirrors the very real war that goes on inside you – physically, emotionally, spiritually – and the need that cancer patients have to be on their own personal war footing to win the battle. This musical storytelling accentuates the mission of “Ken Wells The War on Cancer Fund,” (kenwellsthewaroncancer.com) which is to help others navigate their personal cancer journeys through financial assistance for medical treatment and mental well-being, from counseling to emotional outlets most meaningful to them. “Superman” picks up where the third track, “Standby,” left off. It represents a person in the grips of unrequited love for another who has the power to both save and subdue him, which Rogers Media Group conceptualized for the video. Kryptonite is killing the main character, and he is calling out to Lois Lane for help. But Lois and kryptonite represent opposite sides of the same coin: the source of his strength (his feelings for her), and the source of his weakness (her disregarding those feelings). Will his Lois Lane return? The video ends with a great cliff-hanger where headlights pull up to the house, but the visitor’s identity is left unresolved.
