You're not alone if you think life can be hard, you just gotta get tuff and learn how to survive.

Solo singer/songwriter chic...soulful, emotional songs. raw, stripped down acoustic rock
Hi there...I'm just a solo artist at the time. Just a simple songwriter, trying to get a few good songs down on tape. I write some folk rock, ballads, and a country song now and then. Have previously recorded a demo tape in studio and hated it, the project ended up not sounding like me and my music, so I'm working on my own music now with my own 4trk at home. I'm not really trying to do anything with my music anymore, I just write and play for my own soul and satisfaction. Not too many things in life make me feel as alive and happy as when I'm jammin' out or working on a tune. I hope you enjoy these little pieces of life from me......and if you're so inspired, please leave me your thoughts on the message board. :)

Story behind the song
My best friend got into a BIG MESS, and my life at the time was really being a bitch and this song came to me one night, I wrote it quickly....ended up my friend hung the words to this song in her cell, and read the lyrics each day for inspiration. To this day it still has been known to give inspiration.
Lyrics
Rocky Road Sometimes don't you sit and wonder when.... When will all this nonsense end, the world's spinning around, outta control Who's at the wheel....nobody really knows. Sometimes life is hard to understand... Things don't always go the way you plan... I'm finding out the hard way, what it is to be strong The road I travel on is a rocky one... Rocky road comin' up ahead...just to the right Don't run and hide because only the strong survive... This old world can knock you down, you got to fight Somethings in life, are much better learned Walkin' down a rocky road....walkin' down a rocky road Like a blind man wants to see the light.... All god's children search for peace of mind People why can't you see, there's no easy out The rocky road is what life's all about Rocky road comin' up ahead...just to the right Don't run and hide because only the strong survive... This old world can knock you down, you got to fight Somethings in life, are much better learned Walkin' down a rocky road...walkin' down a rocky road Walkin' down a rocky road...yeah, walkin' down a rocky road Well I'm walkin' down a rocky road...and I'm carryin' a heavy load Well I'm walkin' down that rocky road, walkin' down a rocky road

Hey Strummergurl, I finally got over here to comment. I'd come over here to listen often, but couldn't figure out how to comment. I'm sort of new to Soundclick. Just wanted to say I enjoyed listening to your stuff and enjoyed Rocky Road. Good lyrics and I loved the harmonies and your playing on this. Wish I could play guitar like you.

A fine example of "three chords and the truth." Excellent piece of writing SG - a song I'd keep in my mental file call "Songs I Wish I'd Written."

Howdy There! I really enjoyed this song. I love the folky/bluesy/rock feel to it. I also really liked the layering of the background vocals...This song has a "Pretenders" vibe to it...almost like if you were to hear them do an unplugged set. I really liked the groove of the song, and the mood was awesome! GREAT JOB! 5's all the way from me!
