<p>Anita here from The Lifers! As you may or may not know, I work part-time in tech support for a website building company. After Liv and I decided to remove our music from Spotify, I thought it would be helpful to create a resource for other musicians hoping to cancel their digital distribution to Spotify. We distribute our music through CD Baby, so I documented the steps that I took to remove our music from Spotify there. I hope this is helpful for you in making this decision & transition easier and more empowering! </p>
<p><br>Here are the steps to remove your music from Spotify from CD Baby: </p>
<p><br>1 - Log into your CD Baby account here: https://members.cdbaby.com/login and click on “Albums and Singles” next to “Dashboard” </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/424600/fe7c6a458ca3f983058ce82b9dc243878609d127/original/image-2-22-2022-at-9-05-am.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><br> <br>2 - Click "View/Edit" next to the album or single you want to remove, as seen here: </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/424600/5b7df5ac53f55829833461bcdc023f36e5a32089/original/image-2-22-2022-at-9-07-am.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><br> <br>3 - Click “Distribution” > “Cancellation Options” </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/424600/b01186ba72db97aa6b1489264017271d6621f3a5/original/image-2-22-2022-at-9-15-am.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><br> <br>4 - Select “Cancel from Specific Partners” </p>
<p>5 - Select “Spotify” (and any other streaming platforms you wish to leave), then click “Submit” > “Yes” </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/424600/333c9f34914bef3da99262d38bb6d4255678a27c/original/image-2-22-2022-at-9-13-am.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><br> <br>6 - Done! You will get a "Cancellation Success" notification that looks something like this: </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/424600/6581c519e4ee46a5f1ea5d37fa4707b93ed60f1a/original/image-2-22-2022-at-9-01-am-1.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>I do hope this helps you navigate a little easier, and take this step towards a more ethical music industry. There is a LONG way to go still, and I'd love to continue the conversation and skill-sharing as much as we can.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>With light,</p>

<p>We are grateful to <a contents="Rrampt" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://rrampt.com" target="_blank">Rrampt</a> for their continued support of "Tip". They wrote a great article here after an interview with us. It is encouraging and empowering to hear positive responses to this song. Here's an excerpt from the article, and read the full article <a contents="here" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.rrampt.com/the-lifers-use-music-as-a-catalyst-for-activism-22372" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
<p>~ "Aptly titled, Tip is much more than a song. The skillful instrumentals and tightly woven harmonies are true to The Lifers’ style, but it’s the lyrics that compel the listener to dig deep. Rather than hearing gentle metaphors, we are confronted head-on with the stark reality of the state of the earth. “The Global Climate Emergency has gotten to the point where we feel we can’t keep ‘softening’ our message,” stresses Anita. “By speaking directly and frankly, we are signalling that we are not afraid to fight for change, for action.” The imagery in the accompanying video further emphasizes the vulnerability of our planet, and it’s a difficult yet necessary truth." ~</p>The Liferstag:thelifersmusic.com,2005:Post/60681732020-01-09T07:30:00-05:002021-11-02T14:59:14-04:002020: Heart check-in, Climate action, Upcoming shows<h2><span style="color:#6699cc;">Hello dear friends, </span></h2>
<p>We haven't reached out in a while - we're grateful for the space we've had and are happy to be writing you now! We've been on a journey of self-healing and re-inventing the ways that we are approaching our careers as musicians. We've been pondering: How can we be musicians in a healthy way? - for our hearts/self, and more importantly, for the Earth. We're finally rebuilding ourselves again and feeling ready to continue our journey with you. We are committing ourselves to writing a new body of work by spring's end, and will start sharing it come summer at concerts and festivals. </p>
<p>While we've been hiding, some big things happened...</p>

<p style="text-align: right;"><span style="color:#999999;"><span class="font_small">Photo from Liv and Braden's Wedding courtesy of Emily Santi </span></span></p>
<p><strong>June:</strong> Anita graduated from OCAD University! </p>
<p><strong>July: </strong>We played at Mariposa! What an honour and a joy. </p>
<p><strong>July-August: </strong>We were back in the studio with Jojo Worthington and Dave Worthen, recording a new song we really needed to share. It felt so good to be working with these two again. </p>
<p><strong>August: </strong>Anita spent 2 weeks at Haystack Mountain School of Craft learning about natural dyes. Meanwhile, Liv and Braden (Tragedy Ann) toured through ON, MB and SK </p>
<p><strong>September: </strong>Sam and Anita lived on Manitoulin for the month, learning how to harvest, preserve, bake, cook, and save seeds from autumn's glorious bounty. </p>
<p>We also released a single on Sept 27 called "<a contents="Tip" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=We8LeMRRSEs" target="_blank">Tip</a>" -- we will get to that below! </p>
<p><strong>October: </strong>Liv and Braden got ~ m a r r i e d ~ ! What a joyous day that was! And what a wonderful reminder of the power of ~ l o v e ~ to heal our hearts, minds, and spirits. They travelled to Newfoundland for their honeymoon. This was their first non-music-tour-travel experience in many years, which gave them a lot of perspective - along with amazing hikes and local foods! </p>
<p><strong>October-November: </strong>Sam and Anita travelled to the East Coast, and got to visit some of the amazing friends we've met along our journeys in the past. Their love for the East Coast grew even more, and they are planning a possible move out there in the next few years. They played some shows as <a contents="Samson Wrote" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://samsonwrote.com" target="_blank">Samson Wrote</a>, and will be returning there in April 2019 to play some more! </p>
<p><strong>November: </strong>Liv bought a HARP! Plus, plans for Anita's new banjo began brewing with Hugh Hunter at <a contents="Midnight Special Banjos" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.midnightspecial.ca/" target="_blank">Midnight Special Banjos</a>. Look forward to that in some of our new material ... </p>
<p><strong>November-December: </strong><a contents="Tragedy Ann" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://tragedyannmusic.com" target="_blank">Tragedy Ann</a> toured in Europe with <a contents="Moonfruits" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://moonfruits.ca" target="_blank">Moonfruits</a>!

<p>To cap off Climate Week in September, we released our single called "<a contents="TIP" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=We8LeMRRSEs" target="_blank">TIP</a>".

<p>We are deeply grateful for all the words of support we've received for TIP. It is a heavy time, but you are lifting us up with your demonstrations of solidarity and activism. </p>
<p>The fight for climate justice is not nearly over. As many of you know, Australia is experiencing a direct result of climate change - it is literally burning to the ground as we speak. Thousands of precious beings have been displaced and lost, and entire communities are getting wiped out. The lyrics of "Tip" are ringing through our heads ... "it's not if, it's when". </p>

<p>“When you say the word sweet you think of sugary sweet, which is a comforting taste,” said Liv. “Suite, as in a hotel suite, is an example of a place like home. Suite is also a term used for a type of musical composition and was used in Medieval times to describe a group of people that would be there to support the royal family. So we kind of think of this suite of collaborators as being this really solid unit like that.” </p>
<p>The honey reference has meaning as well. </p>
<p>“Bees work together to create something nutritious and vital for their lives and provide healthy food for humans too,” said Liv. “Another thing we thought was special about the bee analogy is that a lot of our current efforts with the Lifers have to do with female empowerment and bees are almost all female.”</p>

<p>Friends! This is INCREDIBLE!! <br>We are SO close to our crowdfunding goal, and so close to being done this record! We're in the studio today doing some final vocal parts and adding some spooky singing saw to one of the tracks. </p>
<p>Here is another little video update for you, this time chatting with JoJo Worthington, one of our producers. Jojo has been a huge part in pushing the limits of our music and performance, and we appreciate her work so much. </p>
<p>With just four days left in the campaign, we are sitting at just $950 away from our goal. If you're able share this page around to some pals, we would appreciate it greatly! </p>
<p>Love to you all <3 </p>

<p>Hello dear friends, </p>
<p>It's hard to believe that November is almost over! This has been such an amazing experience for us so far. There are just 12 days left in our crowdfunding campaign, and we've still got a little ways to go! It's incredible to think that there are over 50 people who have put their faith in this project, and countless people who have also shown support through sharing the page with others. It is truly fuelling our drive to make this record the best that it can be. Thank you!! </p>
<p>We're sending you "Studio Tales III" today, where Braden talks about our collaborative approach to arrangements and the development of his 'guitar persona' on the record. He also talks about the importance of eating nutritiously to take care of our bodies! Enjoy :) </p>
<p>Again, if you find yourself in Toronto on December 1, Hamilton on December 7, or Guelph on December 19, we will be playing shows these days and would love to see you and deliver a great big hug! Show details can be found on our website here. </p>
<p>Big love & big hugs, </p>
<p>Anita & Liv <br>xoxo</p>

<p>Hello wonderful friends! </p>
<p>It's only been a week since we last checked in, but we've already made another $1000 - we're sitting at over $2500, that's 30% of our goal! It's hard to express just how grateful we are to be seeing this support flowing in from family, friends, and fans. </p>
<p>We've got another 'studio tale' for you this week, this time from Liv. She goes down memory lane to tell stories about our process of recording vocals. This involved blanket forts, crying, and a whole lot more. We spent some time recording vocals while sitting down, which really helped ground us in our performance of the song ("The Spill"). Here's a photo of our sit-singing setup above. You can also get a sense of how beautiful the space at Wildlife Sanctuary Sounds is - that round window was a wonderful viewfinder to the outside world as we worked away, morning till night! </p>
<p>If you're around on December 1 in Toronto, December 7 in Hamilton, or December 19 in Guelph, we will be playing shows these days and would love to see you and deliver a great big hug! Show details can be found on our website here. </p>
<p>Stay cozy! </p>

<p>Hello wonderful friends! </p>
<p>We've got about 3 weeks left in our crowdfunding campaign! We've already made it over $1500 - that's 20% of our goal! This is so amazing. </p>
<p>Over the next few weeks, we'll be sharing some stories from the recording process. Here's the first one, where Anita shares a little bit about what we did to record her guitar parts. It involved some strange things, like singing/shouting into her guitar, as seen in the photo above! </p>

<p>We love you and appreciate everything you do! Thank you so much. </p>

<p>As the chills of autumn roll in, our hearts have been getting warmed up so much from seeing all the support we've gotten so far in this project's fundraiser. We are so lucky to have such wonderful friends, family and fans who are spreading the word about our music and donating to this campaign. Thanks to you, we've already raised $1000 towards this album project! This is wild! Every time we see a donation come through, we are truly amazed at how meaningful this gesture is - it's not just a matter of giving us some money, but it means that you believe in what we are doing and you want to hear what we have been pouring our hearts into. We are so grateful for this, and it is truly fuelling the fire in our hearts to make this album the best that it can be! </p>

<p>We spent the day yesterday in the studio with Jojo and Dave, putting the final touches on the mixes of the two singles off the album, "Sister" and "Front Door". The video above gives some peeks at the day and the giddiness that ensues from this process. Jojo and Dave have been so attentive to finite details in these mixes, bringing all the elements in the song to life. We can't wait for you to hear them!! </p>
<p>Much love and many hugs from us to you, <br>Anita & Liv </p>
<p>PS - If you happen to be in Toronto on December 1st, we will be playing a show at Less Bar to celebrate the end of our crowdfunding campaign - and to celebrate all you wonderful people! Details can be found at thelifersmusic.com/shows.</p>
