"Liam, Amen."
Liam Amen is a brand new song, recorded on July 2, 2008. It was inspired by the 3 weeks I just spent in Great Britain. We went on a music performance tour through several of the major cathedrals in England. (i'm guessing we saw at least 25.
) It was absolutely amazing. So this song is very reverent and symbolic of that, containing very few words, like my prayers.
"The Bug"
Written shortly after my niece's first birthday, this is a song about growing up with my sister, and how having "The Bug" (my niece) has somehow brought us all back together.
"30"
i wrote this after i moved back from nashville, and it was about 2 weeks or so until my 28th birthday and i was sad i was so old. : )
"Little Song of Hate"
Written after I worked in Nashville for a Summer.
Ugh. There are some real jerks in this world...
"What You Did To Me"
this song is pretty self explanatory ; )
and ps- every last bit of it true.
"Katia's Theme (Under)"
Dating in today's world is a bit like swimming with sharks. Sometimes you don't see something horrible coming until you've already been bitten, and taken down deeper. I dedicate this to my friend Katia who is a far more courageous dater than I will ever be...
Hi.
I'm Shelly.
I'm kind of tallish, a teacher, a daughter, a sister, a niece, and an aunt.
I have many wonderful friends that I value more than they'll ever know.
My sometimes silly music is a journal: riotously disorganized, full of art, laughs, children and everyday domestic events.
Unless you are a friend or family member you may not be interested, but you are welcome to look, listen, love, hate.
Oh, and no. I wasn't really born in Antarctica ; )
Please please PLEASE check out some of my AMAZING friends below.
They are all FANTASTICALLY talented musicians who mean the world to me. <3
I miss you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much! Come back to me lover!
OK, here's the deal...I've tried 3 times in the last week to leave a comment on your facebook page, and my computer doesn't like it. I click on that lovely little picture of you, and my PC tries loading everything but just jacks up until I have to pull up my task manager and end the process. It makes me sad...it's not fair. Nothing's fair!!!!
...so I'm coming here to tell you I love you right back. cuz I do...and also to ask you when the Hell you're coming to visit us, cuz the dogs are washed, and we've got a wii with not only mario vs. sonic olympics but also dance dance revolution so we can do a motherfucking dance off...so we could not be any more ready for you than we are right now.
you will!! dont worry. im gonna be here through july! :), i dont know about my mom though.....:(, OMG, that sounds awesome!!! what are you going to do in Europe????? Oh, by the way, I just watched the vid of you and krista doing "I'm not afraid of anything", and i just played and sang that like an hour ago. I love that song so much. Krista has such a beautiful voice, and everytime you play piano i get so many goosebumps that it hurts, i dont know if that makes sense, but you guys are incredible!!!!
