Album Diaries | Found Me

Rachel Adell, an American mother of three, living in London is releasing an album after enduring cancer and other challenges. Rachel's hope is that Saturday Sunrise will wrap its arms around you, and help you get through that next dark night, as it has for her.

Song: “Found Me

Album: Saturday Sunrise 2023

Written: Los Angeles & South Dakota 2021

Cowrite with Nancy Gonseth

Topic: When a friend finds you

I cowrote this with a dear friend, Nancy Gonseth, whom I met within my music tribe, Catch the Moom, 6FS. The biggest takeaway has been the community and the cowrites, and the inevitable connections after that. She and I wanted to write a song that explained how special it was to have the mentor we did. Michael Averill was incredibly present and sensitive to our needs, and the needs of our songs as well. 

Walls soft 

Come in

Door wide open

Where we like to be

Right here

You and me


It’s weird

Shy normally

Do I know I’m safe

Giving love away

Pulled to where you are

Pouring light on my scars


You found me

Hidden in my heart

There are special poeple in this world who have the gift of allowing you to be seen. You feel safe in their warmth and light. In all your shortcomings and insecurities, they appreciate you for you. When you try and fail, they are there. They don’t judge, they don’t make you feel less than, they let you be wherever you are. And in many cases when these wonderful people have entered my life I was at my lowest, weakest, and most vulnerable. Now that I have these kinds of people in my life, it’s pretty easy for me to throw up boundaries for the kind of people who would not appreciate my tenderness and heart. I hope you do that as well. There are people in this world who will see more of your light than you will, those are the people you need to be with. Don’t keep trying to convince or fit in with people unplug the drain every time their around.


A road from low to high

Good laughs and good cries

Soul open and so bare

Rushed to me 

You were right there



It’s weird

I’m usually scared

Do I know I’m safe

Giving love away

Pulled to where you are

Pouring light on my scars


You found me

Hidden in my heart

Oh the gems 

How you made ‘em glow

Remind me of what I know

New chamber in my heart

Evolving work of art
