From a darker period of life....contemplating God and my existence
acoustic singersongwriter acoustic rock soulful
Artist picture
Solo singer/songwriter chic...soulful, emotional songs. raw, stripped down acoustic rock
Hi there...I'm just a solo artist at the time. Just a simple songwriter, trying to get a few good songs down on tape. I write some folk rock, ballads, and a country song now and then. Have previously recorded a demo tape in studio and hated it, the project ended up not sounding like me and my music, so I'm working on my own music now with my own 4trk at home. I'm not really trying to do anything with my music anymore, I just write and play for my own soul and satisfaction. Not too many things in life make me feel as alive and happy as when I'm jammin' out or working on a tune. I hope you enjoy these little pieces of life from me......and if you're so inspired, please leave me your thoughts on the message board. :)

Story behind the song
Life and questions I wish I had answers to is what inspired this one. Pain and anguish gave birth to these words, they came so fast to me the whole song actually, in a few hours if that. When it happens for me that way, I always think this is all coming from somewhere....somewhere BIG. And I still wish I could get my answers from that BIG place. I'm sure I will someday.
Lyrics
DEAR GOD Dear God....are you listening, Dear God, is there anybody home... Dear God....can you see me, can you really see us here In this big scary world......Dear God....Dear God....... Dear God...can you be my friend, Dear God, can you show me the way I'm lost, and I need your help, Can you lend me a hand Will you understand.......Dear God....... Dear God....... Hey God I've been calling you, for quite a long time And man I been wonderin', If I'm just wastin' time Can you give me some answers, can you shed me some light I need to know my purpose, for my living of life Dear God.....life is slippin' by, please God, forgive my sins I've learned, to be patient Lord, I hope and I pray I'll see you someday...... Dear God......Dear God......Dear God........Dear God.......

My favourite of your complete production; the song having a theme which is closest to my own experience and scope of thinking. Musically it represents well all your songs: a personal and honest content and performance which comes out strikingly with your voice and guitar playing. Plus carefully worked-on lyrics. You've put your ambition succesfully in the music, not in the technologiy stuff, and that is i real quality sign!

Great job ..................... you got guts gurl :) Great concept, nice presentation great vocals and harmonies song starts off really strong would love to hear this go into a big modern blow out (rockish,yes,kansas) thing Vocals and harmonies galore... sorry my musical terminology never was what it used to be:) but have intro ,then divide the verses up and make them very different(not chord or note change different )but bells and whistles different and build .........build...........build......crash........back to acoustic and to the question nice!!! I enjoy your writing alot P e a c e
