Time For Some Fun. Now Carry On…

I’ve always been drawn to songs that seek to inspire or build the listener because I feel it’s so needed in our seriously stressed society. This is one of the reasons that I became a Fun. fan as of late. My guess is that “We Are Youngâ€, FUN.'s latest hit off their “Some Nights†album would ring a bell with music listeners instantly, but there’s another song that I would urge you to play. “Carry On†"Let your past be the sound of your feet upon the ground."

Raise Your Brush To The Future!

I thought I would make a post about my journey as a singer-songwriter. I don't recall the exact moment I knew I wanted to pursue music for a living but I guarantee it happened when I was still a child. I used to put on a CD and lip-sych in front of my mirror with my hair brush...aka microphone... for hours. Nothing made me happier than to lock myself in my room for hours on end practicing my singing or putting on a "performance" for my stuffed animals. It is the same love I feel now. I

I Didn't Mean It, Honest!

I guess there are two ways for music to impact a songwriter, in my opinion: through creating lyrics that resonate with the listener’s personal experiences, that’s a given. The other is through creating a stroke of genius that the songwriter can then look at as a guide for their own writing capability. In regards to the second option, The Belle Brigade’s “I Didn’t Mean It†does just that. When I first heard this song, I had to play it a few more times right off the bat. The f

Lyrkicks, Right Um...so What The Heck Are They?

You may have read my previous two blog entries , or heck, even looked at the title of my blog and said to yourself...LyrKICKS? No, no need to rush to your dictionary, and if you "Google it" all it will do is ask you if you meant "lyrics". So don't do any of that, just keep reading. An excerpt from the Elise Anderson dictionary: LyrKICKS: also referred to by the phrase "music that leaves its mark", is shown to be defined as the following: Musical writing that figurat

Time To Be Brave

Stuck between your fear of staying exactly where you are and your fear of the unknown you will find Idina Menzel's song "Brave." This song is the anthem for breaking away from today to go live tomorrow. "Brave" encompasses the wide array of emotions and thoughts involved in one's defining moment or turning point. "If this is the moment, I stand here all alone. If this is my right of passage, that somehow leads me home. I might be afraid, but it's my turn to be brave." Brave.

The First Time I Heard Ray Lamontagne "let It Be Me"

Sitting, still a tad nervous but already comfortable on the dark blue carpet of my then - new boyfriend, now - love of my life's apartment. My heart, recently stomped on, crushed, grinded. Failure. Loss. He turns to me. "I want to play a song for you." "Sure." Instrumental starts, then a gravelly voice. "There comes a time, a time in everyone's life, where nothing seems to go your way, where nothing seems to turn out right." I wince. Now paralyzed. It was
