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
My husband and I are children of the south. It turns out that we both were loath to let go of summer and it's joys and freedoms and had similar signs in our environments that heralded the impending fall and winter seasons. Now that we're "grown-ups" we have discovered that they're not so bad after all!
Lyrics
A Little Closer To You I. the mullet are runnina019 and a northeast wind blows and the first bit of muley grass is beginning to show as a kid I didna019t like it a018cause it meant just one thing that summer was over and ita019s a long time a018till spring now that Ia019m older, let the chilly wind come I got a fire in the backyard and I can bundle up some but why I welcome sweet autumn and old man winter too when the nights get long and dark I can snuggle a little closer to you CHORUS: yeah, I snuggle a little closer to you and you snuggle a little closer to me, too we both sleep much better with a chill in the weather yeah, I snuggle a little closer to you II. like happy little children gettinga019 into a mess we both start grinnina019 as we undress shivering, shivering, a018till our bodies and the last thing to warm up is always my feet but I stick a018em right on you and you howl at the moon but baby, sweet baby, they warm up real soon later as we fall asleep I whisper a prayer or two but mostly Ia019m thankful to snuggle a little closer to you FADE OUT: blow wind blow, leaves come tumblina019 down playing a rhapsody meant for just you and mea026..
