Beth Snapp - Something to Prove
Beth Snapp’s music always has something to say, but with her new single “Something To Prove” she goes well beyond. A welcome respite from the downcast demeanor many folks have been left with as the pandemic takes its toll.
Recorded at Classic Recording Studio in Bristol, Virginia and co-produced by Snapp, longtime associate Dave Eggar and Phil Faconti, the song evokes a sound that’s both casual and carefree, a jaunty sort of tune that celebrates both possibility and positivity. With Snapp herself on vocals and banjolele, Eggar contributing his cello, Factoni playing electric and acoustic guitars, and Jay Farmer and Noah Denton anchoring it all on bass and drums, respectively, “Something To Prove” provides a decidedly merry melody, mostly sunshine and serendipity at a time when they’re clearly needed the most.
“It all started when Dave mentioned a question he had been asked in 2020,” Snapp recalls. ‘Who do you want to be on the other side of this?’ In other words, he was being asked to describe the person he would like to be after we emerge on the other side of this precarious period. How will you be able to say you spent your time? How did you grow as an individual, and what will you be able to take with you into a new era?”
For Snapp, it was a prospect that was well worth pondering. “This was an important question for me, because like so many people, I felt that although the pandemic had brought my life to a halt in so many ways, it also gave me the potential to find some kind of catalyst for positive change. So much had been stripped away - our social support systems, the musical community and a good portion of my income included - but at the same time, stripping away some of the distractions led me to see that I was also getting an opportunity for a re-do, and I really wanted to make the most of it. I also found myself working as an OT in the COVID units, and that in itself shifted my views on the frailty, temporality, and importance of living life.”
Of course, Snapp has always been an incisive songwriter, as well as an artist who always aims to share her deeply-felt emotions with a decidedly personal perspective. Nevertheless, she admits that writing this particular song wasn’t especially easy.
“It was a process for me,” she concedes. “And I actually wrote the song before I really ‘got there.’ I wanted to share my thoughts about how I hoped to see myself grow, even before I had actually grown… and in fact, before many of us had. I knew my conflicts were pretty universal. It seems almost trite to say that we were all struggling…but hey, that's what it was. I wanted to capture the process - the initial shock, the resistance to change, the decision to grow and be brave when times are scary, and ultimately the pride that I’d find from doing the best that I could and hopefully coming out of all this a better person.”
By finding her own way through the haze, Snapp also found a way to share those possibilities with everyone else.
“That’s my wish for all of us,” she reflects. “That we can battle the hardships and still be proud that we didn't simply survive…but actually found ways to thrive as well.”

Love it. Sorry I'm late to the party.
Good song! A nice flow to it.
The only thing you need to prove is you can learn to sing!
Your band playing behind you drowns out that cat scratch voice of yours and makes listening to you almost bearable, almost. That comes from having to listen to you whenever I unfortunate enough to end up eating where you are playing. You've been doing this for years and yet you're still stuck doing low rent venues. Tell you anything? This is something I don't apologize for either, LMAO
Who hurt you?
Stick with your band playing behind you because their music drowns out that cat scratch voice of yours and makes listening almost bearable. almost. That comes from having to listen to you whenever I unfortunate enough to end up eating where you are playing. You've been doing this for years and yet you're still stuck doing low rent venues. Tell you anything? This is something I don't apologize for either, LMAO
Why would you come to someone's page on purpose and say such a thing? You really need to get a life and address what miserable emptiness lives inside of you. This woman is very skilled and underrated. She is way better than most of the overproduced garbage you hear on the radio.
@@15biggiesmalls Because it's true and I used my real name NOT a loser's name like "biggiesmalls", so dumb. listen when you get the guts to use your real name on posts, then maybe I'll take you seriously. Quit hiding because that's what cowards do. TRUTH
@@15biggiesmalls Look me up, it's Aztro Rae
There may be better known artists out there, but none more talented than these three! Awesome!
Sounds great! :)
Hopefully, you see this, I am a Music Reaction Channel and will be showcasing Independent Artist on Mondays, is it ok if I do one of your songs? I am sitting around 1.5 Million impressions and over 5000 hours watched in two weeks, at the moment. Let me know what song you want me to react to. Thank You.
lyrics: covered eyes and ears hiding from the years wondering and too afraid to be so how did i get here sheltered from my fear and guided down a road of victory if you see me fly above the clouds if you hear me sing the sweetest sounds if it seems as though my life has fallen perfectly in place then know that i was saved by grime and grace ooh know that i was saved by grime and grace you know that i stand out but did you feel me fall resigned to live a life face down in dirt couldnt stand the taste there wasnt time to waste so i rose with everything i could exert if you see me fly above the clouds if you hear me sing the sweetest sounds if it seems as though my life has fallen perfectly in place then know that i was saved by grime and grace ooh know that i was saved by grime and grace credit i cant i knew id never make it out if I'd been left to climb alone i was lifted up now i have no doubt that grace is quite amazing on its own so if you see me fly above the clouds if you hear me sing the sweetest sounds if it seems as though my life has fallen perfectly in place then know that i was saved by grime and grace ooh know that i was saved by grime and grace if its wrong please tell me
almost! Credit I can't, I know I'd never make, it out if I'd been left to climb alone. Otherwise, spot on! Thanks!

Yessss I hoped it would be this song when I clicked on it 😂👌
Hey Beth Snapp and the band! I met you guys some years ago for just a couple minutes, it might have been at Heritage days in Tennessee? maybe not, I can’t really remember... I just remember seeing all your instruments and being amazed that you guys could play them all and switch out instruments between songs! :P And I remember the drummer with the shaggy hair liked Zelda cause I mentioned I could play some LoZ songs on my ukulele 😂 Anyway, we got a CD of yours... and I listened to that CD over and over and over and over and over, until my CD player broke 😂 I just loved it and just never got tired of any of the songs! I mean your music is like... my exact type, it’s just... it just resonates with me, and it’s just so gorgeous- ahh I just love it so much! 💕 So yeah, I suddenly remembered your music and just had to find you and tell you just how much I love your music- I don’t know what you’ve been up to lately or if you’re still doing stuff, but your music brings me so many happy memories and you guys are honestly so underrated 💕 and I just love y’all and I guess I just wanted you to know 😁
Fabulous!
💕💖
Hey, Beth! I was one of the middle schoolers from Vance today, and I just wanted to tell you that you were really good! Thanks so much for preforming for us! You also just seemed really nice when you were talking, even if it was just to hype us up, or whatever. Thanks! Cya!
Hey I was at your show today for Rythm N’ Roots for Vance Middle School, and you were great!

One of my most favorite songs!!
