Based out of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, comes a lyrical genious I have stumbled upon through the amazing social site, myspace. Music that tells a real, honest, life story, no matter the genre, is some of the best music in the industry. Lee Lindsey has done this, with her folk rock album, "Above The Madding Crowd." There is a true essence of beauty in her story. Bravely, Lee Lindsey tells us her personal story with her lyrics, in a way that listeners can identify with on many levels. Wether it's the story of a broken heart, an unhealthy relationship with a father, or a life's journey, there is something on this album that can connect you with the heart of this artist, Lee Lindsey.
Lee holds an amazing creative quality in her writing that connects modern country music with the true essence behind her folk roots. She posseses an incredible talent to pen lyrics that tell beautiful stories. She writes lyrics in a way, that the listener can connect with her, and the music on a personal level. Thus, leaving you feeling more appreciative of not only the artist behind this music, but music in general. The honesty behind Lee Lindsey's music is both refreshing and theraputic.
Allow me, please, to provide just two examples of Lee Lindsey's work from her album "Above The Madding Crowd."
Lee's first track, "Journey" is THE song that grabbed my attention. There is a raw and honest quality to this song that touches my heart like no other. This song, delivers the message that you have to follow your heart and dreams. It won't be easy, but you have to push through. There is happiness in following your heart, but with doing this comes obstacles, you must face them. Overcome them. This is a delightful tune that I can not listen to enough.
"Just a Girl" is the other song I feel the need discuss. While basking in the graceful chords weaving together by the string instruments, her lyrics ring true to be just as beautiful, and seep into your soul. This is a song that ALL women should listen to, and have on their playlist. Lee sings of the weaknesses, of being a woman, in a wide spectrum of life. I truly feel every note and chord of this song in a very personal way. I relate to this song in such a strong way. I am sure many women could, if you just take the time to listen. "Just A Girl," is truly a beautiful, heartfelt song.
The songs from "Above the Madding Crowd" listed above are available for a listen on Lee Lindsey's music page. Just go to www.myspace.com/leelindsey and hear them out.
