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
Well I was angry because a friend of mine (actually this guy I kinda liked at the time) was supposed to meet me for dinner, but stood me up to go with some other friends of his. I wrote the first part of the song reflecting on what had happened. Then I got excited and just ran with my imagination. What if this person really was the one I counted on? What if he always let me down? What if this song wasn't about a person anymore? What if it was about the entire world and how it never lives up to its promises? I got into a writing frenzy and voila! This is the song that ended up on my paper. It's really about how we rely on people and worldly things instead of Jesus...but in the end Jesus is the only one that we can place all of our trust in. His love is concrete, never changing, unblemished. He is our solid foundation, whereas the world is a pile of quick sand. I'm still deciding on the title (thus the parentheses).
Lyrics
Concrete Love (c) 2002 Words and Music by Laura Dillon I thought I could believe in you I thought if I could trust One person It would be you But then the day came And I slipped your mind You wouldn’t make the time To do what you said you would So I guess I don’t mean a thing to you But that’s alright That’s ok Cause I got Jesus anyway! I know He’ll never leave my side Never leave me behind All alone without a friend He’ll be with me to the very end! So I’ll place my trust in Him Past my whole life through All I’ll ever need is Him Nothing else can be so true! Chorus: I’m tired of the masks I’m tired of the lies! I’m tired of excuses Used to blind my eyes! All I want is truth All I want is love Unblemished by the world Pure as Heaven above! I wish I could rely on you But you always let me down You lift me up with promises But then throw me to the ground! I get so mad inside I don’t know what to say I end up saying that its fine That I don’t care anyway! But I really wanna say… Chorus So I’ll never let go Of my Lord above He’s the only thing concrete In a world that crumbles and falls I’ll keep looking up Believing in the day When He will come back And take the pain away Chorus
