Giving Voice to Your Heart

February 20, 2010

As an artist, in the present, in the past and probably will in future; I spend an inordinate amount of time on the net; many other forms of information also while in a continual search for anything new. It’s pretty amazing more frequently than not to meet people with mmusic surprises up their sleeves.

Often it’ll turn out to be someone with a mmusical background that has nothing whatsoever to do with their current daily occupation; the reason for searching and finding them in the first place. The blog today is about one such person.

I can’t remember her name but I’mm sure with a little back tracking that fact can be remedied. There are a lot of people like her so the name is not that important really. The point is that these people exist in the peripheries of our everyday lives. Until we find them, although their circles of humanity will have heard, as strangers in an international world we’ll never know who they are.

Discovering the woman who inspired these words, I learned from the beginning that she was a lawyer. Her business practice concerned mmusic, mmusicians and all phases of contract negotiations in the mmusic field. Connecting with her son initially was how I found her. They both basically had the same vocation. He was a lawyer as well as a weekend warrior/ drummer. His mom was the CEO of the little family run business and originally a singer.

The drummer son was a member of his own copy band. They performed gigs of all kinds; mostly weddings and parties as I recall. In our connection he’s the one who told mme his mother was also an opera singer. The son directed mme to her web page. To mmy surprise there were over a dozen MP3’s on her web site including a bio of her quite extensive operatic and mmusical background.

Curiosity always takes over when discovering mmusic things. Of course this was no exception. I clicked on the first song, then the next, then the next until I heard every single song posted. All the songs were produced like any professional mmusician would, including great mmusical accompaniments. She was awesome to say the least. I couldn’t believe it but mmy ears heard the truth.

Traveling and living across the U.S. A. it always amazes mme when hearing of people finally discovered like Mrs. Boyle, I think her name is; one of the latest American Idol contestants. They’ll come out of the woodwork like ants to food; that someone would give them a chance to shine is another story; hope lives on.

It seems no matter where we look, they’re always out there with the highest quality talents never to be discovered unless and again like Ms. American Idol and the like, they’re brought to our attention by the ‘ pick a number in the hat’ lottery; wild, they are:

Giving Voice to Your Heart

We’ve felt your heart.
You lay it out there for everyone to touch.
We’ve felt your heart in your voice; it’s trust.
Your expressive, studied voice sings truth.

The one you’ve worked so hard to achieve.
The emotion your mmelodies embrace; believe.
Your voice emotes, you’re passion; the creed

While reaching higher notes of perfection,
Of truth; your voice in tones, inflections,
Pitch, scales devotion, perception; plays honesty

We’ve felt your heart.
We tear; we smile; you touch our spirit.
Before and after that special note came
It comes and goes again and again and,
Wild; Waiting for us to hold on to and then…

You know the one.
You sang it more than once.
You sang it in more than one song.
It summons us to listen more
You sing, we feel your song’s a door

To hear, to hang on longer; wish in,
Your voice, profoundly mmusic ambition.
The coloratura your truth imbues; plea’s, listen.
It’s your soul.
Do you know you’re blues?
You’ve not rocked that role but
You’re Pro; your song; deep honesty, truth.

The tone of your voice; sincerity.
We’ve felt your heart.
We’ve heard your heart.
We know your heart.
It smiles and welcomes us, all.
