Hi To all of those who have sent me messages I will try to reply to you all and they are all very special to receive. Thank you so much for your encouragement and so glad you are enjoying my music. It has been a long time inbetween posts, I know. I have not put up any more songs for a while. I promise to remedy that. Like most of us life can throw us some 'curve balls'. I have struggled with one or two of them in the last two years. The Drummer of My band in Christchurch New Zealand "Louie and the Hotsticks" my dear friend, Wayne Beecroft, passed away with a very sudden sickness. It threw me completely. Then later it was over a period of 4 months 3 members of our family also passed away. Some of you will have dealt with the same kind of situations, especially with covid barking at our heals. 'No one gets out of here alive' as the famous Jim Morrison of "The Doors" said. I am climbing out of the tunnel now and seeing the glorious sunshine and noticing he flowers once again and letting the rain fall on my face. Anyhow... These are the lyrics of a recent song I have written and it is apropriate for this day and age that we all find ourselves living in. It is not meant to be a sad song. but one of hope that as the seasons change so the harder lessons thrown at us, become easier and time passes and we appreciate the simple and important things like breathing in then breathing out. THE NEW NORMAL V1 If I could tell you this was the last time If I could tell you would I be Lying If I could tell you would it be what you want to hear. would it make would it take more than I could ever give seems like I shaking from the inside out. Bridge Knowing there's a future where the past used to be knowing in an instant a new Normal will be. Chorus Somewhere somehow we can all begin again laughing like we used to do Somewhere somehow we can all begin again laughing like we used to do V2 As for me I'd like to be flying in a world where no one is dying in a day dream that may or might come true. In an instant things can change reality rearranged Life is short there's so much for me and you Bridge Knowing there's a future where the past used to be Knowing in an instant a new normal will be and Chorus x 2 Somewhere somehow we can all begin again laughing like we used to do. Somewhere somehow we can all begin again. Laughing like we used to do Somewhere somehow we can all begin again laughing like we used to do. Somewhere somehow we can all begin again. Laughing like we used to do Laughing like we used to do Laughing like we used to do Love and Joy and all the very best to everyone of you and Peace. Helen x
