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
I heard that the house that I had lived in for 11 years had been torn down...I wrote this song after seein' the empty place where it had once stood
Lyrics
Temporary September 2008 CHORUS: Temporary, temporary the things we build, the stuff we try to grow things we thought were so necessary things we thought we could never let go I. Took a ride past where I used to live 11 years worth of my blood, sweat and tears love and laughter, pain and loss battles that I fought that house is gone and now it’s just a vacant lot CHORUS II. Got a call ‘bout my Daddy one night he was in the hospital, something wasn’t right by the time I got there Daddy was gone I saw his body lying there but his soul had moved on CHORUS III. The time that you’re given and the stuff that you own where will it end up after you’re gone the only thing that’s gonna matter is did you love and did you put your faith in the Lord above? CHORUS
