The Lost Voice by Greta Morgan

A Powerful Memoir of Music, Loss, and Creative Rediscovery by Acclaimed Indie Musician Greta Morgan
What happens when a singer loses her voice—and finds something deeper in the silence?

In The Lost Voice, musician Greta Morgan (Springtime Carnivore, Vampire Weekend, Hush Kids) shares her deeply personal journey of losing her ability to sing—and the unexpected path that led her to rediscover her creative identity.

At the height of her rising career in 2019, Greta had toured with Vampire Weekend, collaborated with Jenny Lewis, and built a devoted fan base. But when she contracted COVID-19 in early 2020, everything changed. Diagnosed with spasmodic dysphonia, a rare neurological voice disorder with no known cure, Greta’s once-effortless, crystalline voice faded to a whisper—halting her music career overnight.

What followed was a profound journey through grief, reinvention, and healing—a reckoning with the idea of “voice” as both a literal tool and a metaphor for personal expression. As Greta searched for meaning in the silence, she found solace in the canyons of Utah, the desert skies of the Southwest, and the resilience of a reimagined life.
