It's just me, myself, and I! A band would be nice.... but I could be a single artist too... wherever God leads I guess:)
Hi! My name is Laura Dillon. I'm a singer/songwriter in Tucson, Arizona looking for ears who will listen to the message that I have to share. Most of my songs are centered on Jesus Christ and the Word of God. My goal is to touch people's lives and bless them with the message that God has given me to share. Right now I'm looking for ways to get there, but being a full time college student time and money is tight. But regardless of circumstances, I trust that God will help me and lead me and that His Will will be done!

Story behind the song
I heard a very interesting line in one of my favorite Japanese anime shows called Gundam Wing. There is a line where Trieze tells Heero-as he is getting into a kind of mech fighter called a Gundam- something along the lines of "When you pilot that don't try to be a winner, you have to be a loser." One reason he said that is because in piloting this thing, if the pilot's aim was to win the machine's system would take control of the pilot in order to do everything to win regardless of the sacrifices or consequences. I'n aiming to be a loser the pilot could keep control of the machine and the system would not overpower him. Something about that seemed really cool, and I thought I could take that and make it into a Christian theme where the winners(who will be losers in the end) are the ones that have fallen into the charm of this world... So one day I was driving along in my truck yelling at the top of my lungs "I'm a loser!!" After a few days I came up with a pretty good sounding chorus on my way home from college classes and scrambled to get everything onto paper the minute I got home. I finished the song that night. The end result was a little different than my original idea, but I think this is better.
Lyrics
Loser (c)2003 Words and Music by Laura Dillon Do people call you a loser Becuase you don't fall into the sin they're in Because you push away the dirty, Defy the ungodly, Separate yourself from the worldly, And embrace the pure? Well I guess that makes you a loser And I'm truly glad that you are There's only one thing you've given up And that's this world Chorus: Cause I'm a loser yeah I'm a loser for you Cause I'm a loser And I wanna be a loser in this world That is my desire There's no other fire That burns Only my love for you You've given it all to Jesus What was rightfully his all along You've entrusted your life in his hands And you will be rewarded With more than worldly silver or gold No one will call you a loser anymore Cause the losers will be the winners And the winners will be the losers This world will whither away And all that will remain Is his love and his power And his glorious name Chorus: Cause I'm a loser yeah I'm a loser for you I'm a loser And I wanna be a loser in this world That is my desire There's no other fire That burns Only my love for you Whoever saves his life will lose it Whoever loses his life will gain it This isn't sumthin that I'm just sayin It's the word of God Cause I'm a loser for you I gotta be a loser I long to be a loser In this world... But most will never understand... So take me into your arms And keep me safe from harm Don't let me fall into this worldly charm Just like the other winners I can't be a winner I have to be a loser It's true A loser for you
