On repeat. This song is phenomenal and connects on such a personal level. Sometimes you just need to burn it all down and use the light from the fire to find your way.
TY for the kind words. It's available now on our website, and you can pre-save if you want to help it soar on spotify and streaming on release day next week. Check the vid description for that link.
My daughter sent this link to me. We frequently share music we like or has an amazing message, like this one. I immediately thought of a house with a predator parent when I heard this message.
The missing stair, in my life, is all the abuse I suffered at the hands of my parents growing up. Everyone in the family knew about it, but they ignored and ignored it until I finally broke free from the abuse and got myself to safety. I escaped to my now husband's apartment, moved in with him in a day, and began distancing myself from my supposed family until things came to a head in 2020, where I had the worst fight of my life with my mother. I've had sparing contact with all of them since then, no voluntary contact since my birthday last year. I had to burn every familial bridge I had to rescue myself, but I'd do it all over again since it meant saving my own life.
Thank You! My childhood at times was missing more stairs than were there. I always felt responsible for the trauma that followed me into adulthood, touching and poisoning my self worth. Thank You for this song and Thank You all for the courage to speak out. I don't feel alone!
My mother is a missing stair... everyone in her family pretending nothing is wrong while she abused her children, and was even abusive to other family members. I've known of other missing stairs as well, and been the scapegoat for calling attention to them. Thank you for this song, and putting this into words for all of us.
We are so honored it could give voice to those wounds for you. If you want to download or grab the lyrics or music, there's now a link in the vid description for all that. Much love.
I’m the stair, even tho I’ve nvr hurt anyone. Still the scapegoat, the forgotten child. Only my mother loved me, the rest of the family treated me as a disease because I was a 2nd born female. So I had no use other than a maid, whipping post, blame game… my younger bro was a drug addled POS, I took his beatings, and blame..and my father gave him things they took from me
How can something bring such power and joy and pain at the same time? I guess it’s like cauterizing a wound you didn’t realize was still there. Thank you.
Our family's missing stair was always my grandparents. They supported us occasionally when finances were poor, but they've been emotionally abusive to every member of the family forever. I have an eating disorder, depression, anxiety, emotional traumas they foisted on us. All I ever hear is "they're too old to change".
Been hearing that one a lot. Lot's of whispering in religious institutions. If you want to download the song or the lyrics and music, there's now a link in the description, with any proceeds going to RAINN
I've got this on repeat and its hitting me hard in so many ways. The beauty of the harmonies, the raw and powerful truth in the lyrics that can mean so many things to so many people. The secrets that families hide. The things that never come to light that should have. No one fixes these things so they keep repeating. Wow. So powerful. As a writer this has inspired me so much.
There's a lot in that little metaphor, huh? Originally coined on a blog called Pervocracy if you want to read more. The song drops on streaming next week, and it would help us a ton if you had a moment to pre-save. First link in the descrip.
This song heals my heart a little from traumas from my parents as a child and adult. I repaired the stair a year ago, told them, and waved goodbye to their part in my life. My heart is slowly healing and this helps.
Love, Love, Love this song!!!!! You have touched soo many people's hearts with this song!!!!!! Going to be a huge hit!!!!! I can feel it!!!! True life's events......keep writing songs like this and your going places!!!!!!! Thank you for this girls!!!!!!
This is literally my first time ever commenting or interacting this way on RUclips but I had to let you know that this is truly a piece of art. This is art. Thank you for sharing.
Heard this in the shower on my release radar this morning, its not really in my wheelhouse but i saved it and have now listened to it 10xs. Fantastic work!
Came here from tiktok. This song stirs something in my soul. Hauntingly beautiful with strong harmonies that hang in the air punctuated by intense violin. Not to mention lyrical content that hits so close to home for so many including myself. It’s poetry. It stabs your heart and makes you ache for more in the best way possible. My family has so many missing stairs, there’s no way to even use the staircase anymore. So nobody makes any progress in any direction. My family is stagnant. It’s sad. It really feels like I’m the only one really making any progress and it’s because I left the metaphorical/literal house. Every time I visit, I’m reminded of every reason I left. I’ve been struggling with how to make sense of my family emotionally now that I’ve got some distance. I think this song is really going to help with that. Thank you 🖤
Wow. The music and melody alone paint the story. Then, the harmony and poetry penetrate right through your soul if you came from generations of victim shaming.
Hauntingly beautiful!! My community just had a child mutilated #justiceforbabyelena the community is in Appalachia and the community is poster material for missing stair metaphor 😭 I fell in a the hole bc of this. We need to shed so much light on these people that there is not one shadow left for them to hide in
It invokes what a feeling of hearing a bird sing for the first time. Like the removal of a blindfold. Waking up and having words of the atrocities eyes see but has yet to come out of our mouths. That whole speed of light travels faster than the speed of sound.
Just burned a copy and put it with my will - it will be placed with me in my Cemetery Mausoleum. Thank You for such wonderful music. Bonnie Sims is a star.
EVERYTHING about this is perfect. The shadow opening with the pull out to show the performers. The unison is spot on (and extremely hard to do right). Love love love!
When I first heard this song a week ago, it had hit a chord I didn't understand. A couple of days ago, I found out. There was a missing stair some part of me know was there but didn't realize. It's been a rough couple of days, having to come to accept that it'll always probably be there and I need to get out, out a place I used, want to still love. I'm crying but it's a good cry.
Had no idea what to expect. Well then again, I really wasn't expecting much tbh....But i'm blown away by the song. Surely wasn't expecting to be moving to the music. Adding it to my playlist. Phenomenal song ladies
What a jam! I can't imagine the energy while recording this...and it resonates with so many of us. Art is so important ❤ i want friends i can create with like this!!!
This song hasn't let go of my heart since the first day it was posted in the other place. I am both heartbroken and comforted that so many others have also felt this so deeply. Take care of yourselves, all ♡
I just now found this song today thanks to a close friend and it put into words more than I could have about my own personal experience with a person who is a "missing stair" .. everyone just looks the other way while more people fall to the hole in the basement. I cant even express how much the lyrics of this song hit home for me.
Mu aunt is the missing stair in our family. Abusive, manipulative and tries to appear nice and sweet, but is mean and vendictive. She gave me major PTSD and I am still healing. Your song is beautiful and heartbreaking and touching so many people. Thank you! I cry everytime I hear it, but it is therapuetic.
This healed something in my being that I thought couldn't be touched. I walked on egg shells and made excuses for my mother most of my life. Sometimes it's okay to cut a family member out of your life. Thank you for this song ❤
This song gives me chills. It feels like I’ve always known it and simultaneously it’s what I never heard and desperately needed. What a gift. Thank you ❤
Heard this on TikTok, so glad it's on RUclips now so I can share it to more friends and family. This song is amazing! I cried half way through it and listened to it over and over. Love you all so much, and ready to snap up any album you release anywhere. ❤
You can also download it now at the first link in the description, and if you don't mind pre-saving (it helps a lot), it's dropping on streaming services next week!
Over a year since first hearing this, my missing stair was emotional neglect and the rampant undiagnosed autism in my family. Both have been addressed, and hopefully I won't have a missing stair in the family I've made but I've pledged to stay open to hearing there might be and to do whatever it takes to fix it.
This song resonates so strongly for me. Thank you so much for recording it and now putting on RUclips so that I can share it with those who don't have TikTok
I just now found this on tik tok yesterday. I can’t get over how relevant it feels for me. I’m soooo glad it’s here on RUclips now. *still listening on repeat in awe* 💞

This song NEEDS to be recorded. It’s incredible and so are all three musicians. This song hits deep for so many myself included.
Hi Aileigh! We are releasing the mastered TT audio this week on streaming! If you have spotify, pre-saving helps a TON.

There’s more than one kind of stair
How can something bring such power and joy and pain at the same time? I guess it’s like cauterizing a wound you didn’t realize was still there. Thank you.
I am ready to BUY this song!!!

I have an eating disorder, depression, anxiety, emotional traumas they foisted on us. All I ever hear is "they're too old to change".
Hits right in my religious trauma and deconstruction spaces.
Oh, so much the same for me!

Thank you so much for listening and connecting. It's up for download now at the first link in the video descrip if you want to grab it. ❤
I’m obsessed
Same
An anthem that should have never been needed and is so necessary. Those sharp fiddle entrances are perfect!
Sometimes words don't come easy, This song says it all for me, Thank you for the words.

Our generation will be the ones to shed light on the faces of evil living within the roots of our family trees
This is how we heal. We talk and sing about the missing stairs and help one another fix them.
YES... More of this plz
My inner child, inner teen, and healing adult me needed this. ❤ thank you.

Amazing song and has me thinking about the concept of the missing stair! Thank you! ❤
I love it. This encapsulates my childhood. I’ve been working on myself to not be the missing stair and heal from the one that hurt me.
