Hello fine readers, Music Lovers... whoever you are... I thank you for taking the time to stop by, on occasion to read the "goings-ons" in my life! Well, these days, I am thrilled to know that a new album will soon be in the works! April 30th will see me in the studio, embarking on my latest Labour of Love "Monkey's Under Stars." Producing the album will be Dean Watson of Gallery Recording Studios, in Ottawa Ontario. The thing that really excites me, is that Dean and I, have been friends for a long time and he knows me and has been following my music career since the beginning. I am so happy because I know this album will feature my raw, naturalistic feelings about music, it will focus on the heart and soul of it all, and it is going to be beautiful!! It will be a full-band project, featuring Chris Hopkins on Bass guitar, Rob Rose on Electric Guitar and Rob Milicevic on Drums, with a few other gems to be added as necessary.... nothing like my "Last minute Lindsay" ways... so yeah, you might hear strings, keys and brass as well... Today I just completed my first county song "Grip On You." Who knows if it makes it onto the album, but I will gauge it by how my audiences like it in the coming weeks, before heading into the studio. I have never played country before, and I'm not sure if it'll fit... time will tell, but I gotta say that I am digging it!! Here are the lyrics in the meantime... Yours is the name I have been calling
yours are the hands that I can hold
yours is the trust I have been building
yours are the eyes that I behold
& I've spent half of my life seeking
& all those other hours fooled
& when I cast my gaze upon yours,
seems those wasted hours led me to you
Nobody says that Love comes easy
nobody swears what it can do
it's more like a drug to drive you crazy
but I won't lose my grip on you
Yours is the smile that I get lost in
yours is the voice that calms my fear
yours is the Love in which I'm fallin'
yours is the song between my ears
Nobody says that Love comes easy
nobody swears what it can do
more like a drug to drive you crazy
but I won't lose my grip on you
You, you, you.... oooh oooh
I place my thoughts upon a train ride
a long haul bound the other way
been prayin' for my beating heart to guide
me from mistakes of yesterday
Nobody says that Love comes easy
nobody swears what it can do
more like a drug to drive you crazy
but i won't lose my grip on you
Hope you enjoy it when you hear it.... perhaps sooner than later??
Happy SPRING!!
Love Lindsay xo
