Delaney Walsh

She has done it again and added four songs on my space. I went this morning to listen & WOW.... her voice is simply incredible. I've been following her for a couple of years now. I was impressed with Easy Goodbyes immediately & waited anxiously for any new songs.

I've got the inside scoop so I got to hear some of the songs raw. It's amazing to watch this process from ground up. The songs I got via email, the my space version, and then to finally be able to purchase her songs via iTunes. I felt special!!! LOL You can't even imagine how many times I've played the four or five songs I had over & over. Now she's got an album full!!! AWESOME!!!!

Delaney also recorded with Leon Russell. And HE performed at the Grammy's so I'm hoping he tells everyone about her. My telling people just gets her fans, which are good, but someone with some pull needs to get her recognized!!! Maybe I'll include this in my wish letter to Ellen whenever I get around to writing that?

Anyway, today has not been the best day. When mass amounts of hair start falling out, it can be a little emotional. Lucky for me, Delaney posted she had four new songs up. By the time I listened to the first one the tears were dried up. I've played all of them twice and my mood is much better. Anyone that can do that deserves a post. ;-)

She really is a remarkable person. I've never meet her but I hope to do so one day. She's been there on Facebook with words of encouragement through the cancer ordeal. And her music always takes my mind off whatever is worrying me so the new songs were welcomed.

When I found out about the cancer and she left a comment, I told her to write me a fighting song. The inspiration will hit one day and I can't wait to hear that song either. It's weird being on this side of cancer and the lyrics in music change. I haven't listened to much music in the past few weeks because you view the meaning of a song differently. It takes the joy out of music and that is sad.

Nickelback's new album takes on a whole new meaning when your prognosis ends with death. Sure they don't know when but bottom line is the end will come. Once I realized that, I simply stopped listening to music. It didn't hold the same meaning or enjoyment.

Delaney's music did not do that to me and I'm so glad. But there needs to be a song about the pain of the news, the denial, the anger, the fog, and then the peace of walking into the unknown, stepping on that battlefield, and ready to fight. I also know that she can write one that will nail all those emotions. (No pressure, Delaney! Just faith....)

So let me pop out the player, get lost in her music, and try to declutter the leaving room just in case the bald look doesn't inspire the whole Mr. Clean cleaning spree. LOL I know me and looking like Mr. Clean will not have things all sparkling & clean. *sigh*
