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
This is one of those songs about having strong feelings for someone and wanting to just runaway from everything and everyone except that person but being unable to do so because there is some confounded obstacle in the way preventing you from being with him or her. Even if you know that within the course of the next two to six months you can be together, time can not move quickly enough through that uncertain period in emotional limbo during which someone else may catch that person's eye and whisk him or her away from you, leaving you devastated because you have lost something--the very essence pushing you through life--that you felt would have been the best relationship of your life, which was never allowed to happen. Perhaps this song was written more about uncertainty and anxiousness and worries of losing this special someone before you can even hold him or her, than about running away with that person. Although, entertaining the thought of running away is enjoyable...
