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

My Beautiful Man I. I hate these shoes and I hate this dress and I hate that youa019re wearina019 your Sunday best dark clouds are gathering, I can smell rain fittina019 weather I guess yeah, I hate this dress and I hate these shoes a018cause you always favored orange and blue so this black that Ia019m wearina019 dona019t make sense to me it screams out a01Cwidowa01D at best PRE-CHORUS: I check my make-up, will myself not to cry a018cause I wanna look pretty when I tell you goodbye CHORUS: and down comes the rain, down comes the rain and washes across the land feel like its washing away, washing away my dreams with my beautiful man my dreams with my beautiful man II. I hate this car, this shiny limousine but I sa019pose that it goes with the rest of this scene but I want our pick-up and to be by your side headina019 back across town oh, I hate this car with its leather so fine a018cause ita019s bringing me closer to saying goodbye the raina019s fallina019 hard now as we turn in the gate and I wanna scream a01Cturn arounda01D PRE-CHORUS I stand by your grave now, with a handful of dirt whisper, Lord, take me soon a018cause I cana019t stand the hurt to hell with the make-up that runs from my eyes like I could keep from crying as I tell you goodbye CHORUS: and down comes the rain , down comes the rain and washes the dirt from my hands but it wona019t wash away, no it cana019t wash the pain away of losing my beautiful man of losing my beautiful man
