Charlotte Morris and her emotional ”Good Kind of Hurt”

Charlotte Morris grew up in a Philadelphian suburb in Pennsylvania, and had already become completely enamoured with music at a very early age. After beginning violin lessons at the age of 4, Charlotte taught herself how to play the guitar, piano, melodica, ukulele, banjo, acoustic bass guitar, and mandolin. By the age of 12, she was already writing songs professionally.

Charlotte credits female singers like Delta Rae, Brandi Carlile, Sara Bareilles, and The Chicks for inspiring her own musical approach, which she describes as “real, honest, and passionate music with a message.” Charlotte expresses her latest track, “Good Kind of Hurt”, is her most intimate song to date. The Will Gawley-produced song attempts to raise awareness and highlight addiction as a mental disorder and its links to PTSD, with the ultimate goal of igniting further action.

Charlotte was motivated to create this song after witnessing a close, long-term family member suffer with alcohol addiction and the impact it had on both this loved one and the rest of her family. The song challenges listeners to put themselves in another person’s situation and imagine what it must be like to know that the thing that you desire the most is also the thing that is killing you.

“I’ll consider the song a success if it motivates even one person to seek assistance for themselves or a loved one”, explains Charlotte.

Adding, “I think that blame is often placed on the addict because of a stigma & ignorance surrounding addiction, PTSD, and mental health in general. I’m hoping that this song & video will give a bit of an ‘inside look’ and help others walk through the world with more empathy.”
