female singer/songwriter/musician from East TN
I am a solo singer/songwriter/musician from an abyssmal black hole of a town called Morristown in East Tennessee. I have played the piano since I was 6 and took up the acoustic guitar in October 2003. I like covering songs but I also write a few myself. I've played on open mic nights in downtown Morristown, The Acoustic Battles at The DownTown, open mics in North Carolina at Blue Mountain Pizza and hopefully some others soon. I have been given alot of support by the other local musicians I am currently a music and Spanish double major at Mars Hill College near Asheville, NC, and am interested in meeting other musicians around the area and possibly playing some open mic nights. I'd like to venture out into the world of gigs but I am on a college student budget and do not own equipment other than my guitar. So for now I'm stuck with open mics and things of the nature unless I can get a gig where amplification and such is provided. I put a lot of time right now into my classical voice stuff and will have a recital coming up in the next 6 months, but hopefully I can get some new acoustic stuff together soon. The songs I have on this page aren't of great sound quality because I record with my mic onto my comp, but it works well enough I suppose. Hope you enjoy.

Story behind the song
hmmmm...I suppose the people around me who have opened me up to new experiences and to new ways of thinking about things are behind this song. I would not be who I am if it weren't for the influences of a couple of the people I've met in the past few years. Despite the fact that it sounds a bit like a love song it really isn't. The 'you' in the song is not necessarily a male or a female, kind of an ambiguous mixture of the influences from different people in my life.
Lyrics
I had never felt this way before You opened my eyes to so much more You showed me things I might never have seen otherwise And you reached a part of me hidden deep inside And I, I have to thank you For all you have given me You, you made me smile again And you, you taught me how to love again You took me to places beyond my wildest dreams And you showed me that things aren't always as they seem And I, I have to thank you For all you have given me
