Success in the Arts is seductive lover to woo, but a tough lady to please!
honkytonk cautionarytale ukuleletune
homegrown music...all natural, no fillers, no artificial colors.
....so nice of y'all to drop by! I'm a little southern lady who grew up during the glorious sunshiny 70's in a small beach town in N. Florida. An awesome time to begin to figure life out...catching the tail-end of the "age of aquarius" and gettin' to enjoy the freedoms that bunch won for us before the angst of the 80's and 90's set in. Try bein' a teenager today!!! Ha! I learned to play guitar by picking one up and flippin' open a CSN&Y songbook to "Helpless". Well, nobody told me I was playin' the thing up-side-down! I'm a lefty, ya know...held it like it felt right to me. Still play that way to this day. Took up the banjo and the ukulele and turned them up-side-down too. I wrote my first song at the age of 45 and now I've got a whole batch of 'em. I don't ever set out to write any particular song...just get a phrase that sticks and pretty soon the rest of it comes. Really, I don't write them at all...God just down-loads 'em into my brain and I jot them down and then sing and play them. To Him be the honor and the glory! So there you have it...or at least this part of it. I'd talk yer ears nearly clean offa yer hear if you'd indulge me. Thanks again for stoppin' by...next time I'll make a cake and brew some coffee. yerz, Ellen https://ellenmoseley.bandcamp.com

Story behind the song
this is not my story to tell, as I haven't actually received that much acknowledgment for mah songs or their performance to date. But I know that this is an oft told experience with many folks who get on that train. Success in the Arts is a fickle lover to woo!
Lyrics
Flyin’ Fallin’, Tumblin’ I.      the world seemed like a much kinder place      when I had my fame, 'cause I played the game      but pride goes before a fall.... lemmee tell ya, that ain't all      those fair-weather friends, they went too      like a bunch a damn crows, off they flew     now tell me, tell me, please tell me      what's a girl supposed to do? CHORUS:      'cause I was flyin' now I'm fallin', tumblin' head first to the sand      won't somebody please help me, somebody lend me a hand      'cause I'm lookin'..... for a soft place to land II.      I took for granted my simpler days when I'd sing my song      for whoever came along      but I went down a crooked trail, followin' the devil's tail      I grabbed ahold an' off we flew      next thing I knew.....      oh Lord have mercy, please tell me      what's a girl supposed to do? CHORUS      November, 2012
