Memoirs in a Song...
Stories, Stones and Bones is a name given to me in a dream some 10+ years ago. I used the title for my first book of lyrics when I sent it to be copywritten... This blog is a compendium of my book of lyrics, from 1996 to present.
The name holds a sense of ancient wisdom, which I hope begins to seep thru my songs: What are the stories the earth tells, that are written on our ancestral bones? What is the deeper pool of knowledge that we can drink from as we birth ourselves into creative evolutionary beings? Where are our roots? What is the journey we have taken, personally and collectively?...
And so begins the story, woven in song, as fallen through the lyrics of my music...
More lyrics will be coming soon (I've written well over 100 songs!)... In the meantime, I hope you enjoy!
[Please note that you will want to read from bottom to top (in reverse). The "archive by date" list on the lefthand side will help your journey - which begins in March of 1996, when the first song flew out of my lips... You can also search by THEMES: the songs which I like a lot or are in current performance rotation are in the theme of *favorites*]
Heh heh, this one's funny and cute - an expression of the hip-hopper optimistic chica in me... It's also an expression of my understanding of the power of lyrics to bring a new truth to the world. Very cute.
This is what I have to do
This is what I want to do
This is what I’ve got to do
This is where I’m goin’ to
Cuz I’m a master sleuth
I’ve got to tell the truth
Yeah I can see right through
This phony ballyhoo
It’s got to be me
And it’s got to be you
Together with love
We can see this thing through
Cuz we’re all master sleuths...
