Kara Square is a nerd who will write a song about anything. As half of the duo Team Smile and Nod, she writes personal and political electro folk pop songs. As Mind Map That, she humorously covers topics such as organ donation, fexting (fake texting), cats, coconuts, and poop. Now armed with a ukulele, Kara Square has developed a passion for writing and singing about one of the most explored, universal subjects that exists: love. It occurred to her that as a lesbian, the very act of writing a love song is political. This idea inspired her to create an album that emphasizes relationship similarities, instead of focusing on identity-driven differences. Through her upcoming album, "Love Songs For Everyone But Especially Uke," she reveals that love is boundless.
"Start Each Day With Love" is a mushy-gushy, heartfelt folk pop ukulele love song that expresses the importance of love, including the love one should give oneself. The cover art for the single was designed by one of Kara's multi-talented ccMixter friends, Joel Frijters from SoundAdvantage. "Start Each Day With Love" captures the universal nature of love and provides a sneak peek of what to expect with Kara Square's upcoming album release "Love Songs For Everyone But Especially Uke."

There's really nothing more centering and purposeful than starting the day with love -- with a hug, an affection expression, observing the beauty of nature around us. Thanks for sharing this beautiful song with us Kara!
