“The Ache of Living” - Danielle Schroeder

Vancouver-based singer-songwriter Danielle Schroeder has always written from the soul, but with her first release of 2025, she’s not just baring her heart — she’s letting it bleed beautifully across the strings.

“The Ache of Living” is a quiet storm — an aching, reflective track born from the grief of losing a close friend. It is a stripped-down, soul-deep meditation on grief, motherhood, and the fragile, often unspoken edges of vulnerability.
