homegrown music...all natural, no fillers, no artificial colors.
....so nice of y'all to drop by! I'm a little southern lady who grew up during the glorious sunshiny 70's in a small beach town in N. Florida. An awesome time to begin to figure life out...catching the tail-end of the "age of aquarius" and gettin' to enjoy the freedoms that bunch won for us before the angst of the 80's and 90's set in. Try bein' a teenager today!!! Ha! I learned to play guitar by picking one up and flippin' open a CSN&Y songbook to "Helpless". Well, nobody told me I was playin' the thing up-side-down! I'm a lefty, ya know...held it like it felt right to me. Still play that way to this day. Took up the banjo and the ukulele and turned them up-side-down too. I wrote my first song at the age of 45 and now I've got a whole batch of 'em. I don't ever set out to write any particular song...just get a phrase that sticks and pretty soon the rest of it comes. Really, I don't write them at all...God just down-loads 'em into my brain and I jot them down and then sing and play them. To Him be the honor and the glory! So there you have it...or at least this part of it. I'd talk yer ears nearly clean offa yer hear if you'd indulge me. Thanks again for stoppin' by...next time I'll make a cake and brew some coffee. yerz, Ellen https://ellenmoseley.bandcamp.com

Story behind the song
My husband and I went through a very rough time of "testing" this past spring....it's a second marriage for both of us, with each of us bringing kids and baggage to the table. God delivered us through this trial and continues to give us the grace we need for daily living and continued growth towards the marriage He desires us to have!
Lyrics
Livina019 On June 2009 I. I found the note you left on the table all it said was, a018Babe, Ia019m gonea019 and ever since I read those words Ia019ve been tryina019 to figure out how Ia019m supposed to carry on CHORUS: I thank the Lord we never had any children of our own I brought mine, you brought yours and now those kids are grown so therea019s really nothing left to tie me to you a018cept my heart, a018cept my soul and since I cana019t live without either one guess Ia019ll have to keep livina019 on II. turn on the faucet, get myself a drink going through the motions of my day doing everything I know to do to keep my mind off of you to keep my mind from thinkina019 dona019t allow myself to think CHORUS
