mkgaskill She's sad. Stricken by tragedy, I believe she put a bit of it in these tracks. A good album. Favorite track: Where the Willows Weep.

Just Plain Joe 500 characters isn’t nearly enough for me to begin to heap the praises this lady’s music deserves, nor to explain what she, or her music both past and present have meant to me. So I’ll simply say that I owe a great debt of gratitude to her, Nicholas, Benjamin and Ashley... because discovering them and their music gave me something I never thought I’d have. A second chance. May God bless and watch over you Shannon Jae and Thank you. Much love,
-Just Plain...

the hobo in my head he silently said you ain't gonna find what you want until you're dead so i've been a runnin' this whole life through every road i take leads me back to you hello mourning my old friend hello mourning this is the end my momma knows my soul like the sound of poppa's rocking chair and if you want me honey come and find me way out in the back country i'll be there hello mourning my old friend hello mourning this is the end all these ghosts in my head just won't let me go they've got me all chained down for the circus show with all these things in my life that i just don't want to see like how i've become my own worst enemy hello mourning my old friend hello mourning this is the end

beloved memories the barren seas forgotten hopes the weeping willow trees the blood red stains upon your knees why you runnin with your hand full of keys the newspapers say you locked your heart into a chest the wind it whispers an old refrain my heart overflows, it overflows with the rain each drop of he loves me, he loves me not we live in a land of wild forget me nots

pendulum swing my bloody heart that rings falling failing thoughts that sink time is haunting you and all the things that you do my love when you're out on the road i'll always be sleeping alone my soul has never been this broken my thoughts never this true oh darling i care for you i wrote a terrible tune to carry you through its an I for and I we were selfish all the time two broken souls trying to make it through this sick old world and all the things that we do we walked and tread a dusty road forgotten so very long ago with every demon out of the depths of hell a whispering words and snaring our trail twisted threads never mend just right our hearts need so much patching tonight my love somehow it just aint right to be so dark you can't even see the light

Loneliness 02:32
who are you you said to me i am nobody you'll ever see i pricked my finger by a nail each drop of blood whispers you fail what is it that my mouth speaks when the woods are quiet my head still creaks listen there's something bothering you as silence creeps right through the room i hear a heartbeat quiet another star fades away its light i done wrong right through my soul ain't been hurt enough i'm beggin for more who are you you said to me i am nobody you'll ever need

once there was a mountain it stood so tall, stood so tall but the valley came with the wind oh it made it fall, made it fall let there be no trouble no trouble in your soul way back in 1890 the streets were mud, the streets were mud you hear those tears of water you hear those tears of blood the dust came with the wind you couldn't see, couldn't see way down and out and back again singing you'll be free, you'll be free you've been through so much you can't go on, can't go on you're a tired old moon in search of a dawn

Wishbone 02:50
the land was siezed fallen trees you had my heart in your hands all alone hoping on a wishbone you broke into a bloodied mess with the delicate touch of a flower all alone hoping on a wishbone the grasslands were taken by a hungry flame as the ocean it swallowed a lovely dame all alone hoping on a wishbone that nightingale mourned oh mourned its tone to an empty sky with no moon for light all alone hoping on a wishbone the splinters in your hand they fell away the thorns in your feet made you kneel and pray all alone hoping on a wishbone a deer stopped and stared you in the eyes a shot rang through the darkness the deer did die all alone hoping on a wishbone when you walk past the old oak tree take my body back to my family all alone hoping on a wishbone

about

All songs original and copyrighted. About half the songs were written in the past year and the other half are some of my favorites from a while back, all of them, however, are quite melancholy... hence the album being entitled, strung up sorrow, which is my favorite description I've heard of my music and the credit goes to my husband, Nicholas Ridout, who coined the term. This album and every musical endeavor I embark upon is dedicated to his life and memory.
