Some Lessons: The Bedroom Sessions

Some Lessons – The Bedroom Sessions is the debut extended play (EP) by American jazz singer-songwriter Melody Gardot, self-released on May 3, 2005.

The EP is deeply tied to Gardot's personal history, serving as a form of music therapy following a life-altering accident. At age 19, Gardot was struck by an SUV while riding her bicycle in Philadelphia, leaving her with severe head injuries, pelvic fractures, and long-term cognitive and physical challenges. During her recovery, unable to sit up or walk, she used music to help her brain heal, learning to play the guitar and writing songs bedside. The resulting tracks were recorded directly in her hospital and bedroom environments, earning the EP its title.
